Dr. Haupt is a miracle worker! I know not every body has the same experience or response to treatment, but my experience at Gateway Chiropractic has been one to write home about. At 8 weeks pregnant I experienced a pinched nerve in my neck that caused excruciating pain in my back/shoulder and arm. After almost a week of suffering (no safe medical treatment for pinched nerve during pregnancy) and being out of work I went to the physical therapist (while I support physical therapy, it is not a quick fix) who saw me 2 days in a row then was not planning to see me again for FIVE DAYS! I needed help now, not in five days! At the advice of family and friends I decided to go to the chiropractor. I have never gotten better advice in my life. Dr. Haupt had me feeling relief in just a couple days and she saw me EVERY DAY! When you are in excruciating pain and unable to be excited about your new pregnancy, being seen and feeling like you are making progress every day is important! I didn't know much about chiropractic medicine until this experience, but Dr. Haupt is extremely knowledgeable and a good teacher. She is passionate about, and believes in (as she should), what she does and it makes a great impact on the care you receive. I have never felt like anyone has ever wanted to help me like she did. She is dedicated and compassionate. As a worker in the healthcare field myself, I cannot say enough good things about this practice. Now at 19 weeks pregnant, I am nearing the end of my treatment (although the pain was gone long ago), but I know exactly where I will go if I ever feel that pain again. I can't end this review without saying how great the evening staff are as well! They definitely contributed to a great experience.
