Not only does Freedom Chiropractic teach, they teach on multiple subjects. They are constantly educating their patients to make them the healthiest they can be. They do not push anything onto others, they simply educate, have genuine concern, and let the individual make the decision for themselves. They have completely changed my life, and I recommend everyone give them a chance to change their life.
Pros: Best Chiropractor in Colorado
Cons: Some don't understand alternative medicine

Yesterday we noticed little Piglet, our daughter's Chiahuahua, had some tearing out of her one eye and then we looked it up on the INTERNET and we came to the conclusion that it was a "cherry eye." A call to this veterinary hospital that had been referred by one of her instructors at college .. pretty much confirmed that is what it was as well. She made an appointment to see her this morning and that diagnoses was exactly what it is. We took her to Polo Springs Veterinary Hospital. When we walked into this place, it was like walking into the lobby of a 5 star hotel. We were greeted by a very nice receptionist that took all the information immediately. As you walked in, there was a gas log fire place burning .. high ceilings, tiled floors that sparkled. There were oak cabinets and hutches and a counters that contained a variety of pet products including food. On an "island" was a coffee pot set up for customers with STARBUCKS COFFEE and a tray of cookies. Next to that was a candy container with candy kisses.
When we went back to see the doctor .. the exam room was very clean. Throughout the entire center, you could NOT smell anything. It was SUPER, SUPER clean. Besides being a "doctor" and a "hospital" they also board animals. The larger dogs were kept in a separate area and had a big heavy door that they kept closed to keep down the barking noise but it had a window so one could see into that area. The operating room looked cleaner than most hospitals.
They provide not only emergency treatments, but suregery, dental care, nutritional counseling, boarding and daycare and grooming services.
The two technicans and the doctor were all very friendly and very thorough in letting us know our options and their recommendations.
For now we went with treating it with an antibiotic/steriod ointment that she will have to put on the eye for 21 days. At least, this is the first step and we hope it will be all it takes. Being a small breed dog, it's not uncommon for this to happen.
I highly recommend Polo Springs Veterinary Hospital.

Our puppies have had great care from this clinic. The staff is helpful and friendly. The medical team will keep you informed after a procedure, call to check on your pet after they are home, and promptly return calls. As medical professionals ourselves, we are very impressed. We can feel good about the care they receive.

Except for being slow to provide adequate pain relief for my compound fracture, I found the services adequate.
On about 20 October 2006, I was admitted with a compound fracture of my lower right leg, resulting from a motorcycle mishap. The surgeon, Dr. Walden, apparently did a good repair job. He put a titanium rod and 5 screws into the leg. He was very good about answering my questions.
They were able to provide adequate vegetarian meals for me. The visiting hours were generous.
The day after the surgery, I was able to get around the hospital with crutches. Although that was a bit faster than usual, the staff saw it as a good sign and encouraged me to be as active as reasonable considering the condition of my leg. However, I was slightly annoyed (and amused) when I was accused of "flashing" even though I wore underpants under the hospital gown. The problem was solved when I later got my own clothing, which had been at a hotel. If hospitals are concerned about patients' "flashing," they should provide something more suitable than a hospital gown.
I was even permitted to shower by myself, after being provided with assistance to get started, and was assured that if I had problems, immediate assistance would be provided. It was good to be encouraged to be as independent as possible.
The discharge nurse was angry that I stayed 4 days instead of 3. However, since I was from out of town and not in condition to travel, I had no place to go. She discharged me to Springs Village Care Center, a nursing home (on which I have written a review).
Pros: Good staff and service
Cons: A bit slow to provide pain relief upon being admitted

Actually, I really do like about 3 grocery stores but Safeway is my favorite. I prefer their meats as they seem to have a better taste to them. I also like the friendly staff at the ones that I have gone to here in Colorado. Another thing that I like is that they do have a membership card that you get 3 to 10 cents off on gasoline after purchasing a certain amount of groceries and it has really been a godsend when the cost of gasoline has been so expensive. Their produce always is so nice and fresh. They have a great deli too. And, for an added convenience, they do have a pharmacy as well.

My husband and I were out this morning and while we were out, we noticed that gasoline was going back UP. As we were in the vicinity of a Safeway that has had a 10 cents a gallon off for several weeks now, I figured we'd check them out. On our way there, the least expensive we saw was 2.09 and 2.11. When we got to Safeway, it was 2.12 .. and I did get the 10 cents off, making it $2.02. Another friend told us that she bought her Honey Suckle turkey the night before at Safeway .. she got a 22 lb. turkey for $7.99. So, we went there and I got a 19.53 lb. one for $7.99. On the tag is said $1.18 a lb .. $22.+ .. so I saved a bundle on that "bird." Not sure if all Safeway's are doing this, but my sister in Denver said they were $5.99 at her Safeway. And she also noticed a sign that after November 26th, Safeway will no longer be allowed to sell their gasoline for less than the 3 cents per gallon off by using their card. Bummers. So, if any of you in Colorado have a Safeway Card .. be sure to use up your gasoline points by the 26th.

I was very impressed with this ER, the doctor and nurses. We had the unfortuate Christmas Day experience of spending about 5 hours in the ER. My husband had a little episode of some numbness on his left side: face, lips and left arm. We convinced him to at least call his doctor and the doctor on call told him to go to the ER and have it checked out. When we arrived there, we went to the valet parking .. FREE. Then we went inside to register, the registering person was very polite and friendly, then we had to go through Security, he was also friendly. We only waited about 5 minutes and he was taken to another station where they entered all of his information into the computer etc. His medications and medical history. Then the ER doctor saw him and after talking with him, decided to go ahead and have a lot of tests done, blood work, a couple of x-rays, chest and head. All of the technicians were extremely professional. Then he was told he could go home but had to make an appointment to have two more things done but since it was Christmas Day they couldn't do them .. a cardiac echo complete and a carotid ultrasound. I called the next day and they scheduled him the following day. He had two different technicians that day and they were both friendly and very helpful. When we left the hospital and to get our car, we just handed them our ticket and they brought the car to us .. AND THEY SAID NO TIPPING. Very friendly guys doing that too. I hope I never need have to use an ER or even the hospital, but now I know this one is a good one. [Oh, we still don't know what happened .. it could have been a few pinched nerves, perhaps from shoveling snow, it could be Bells Palsy but no drooping or any numbness now or then, or a TIA, pre-cursor to a major stroke. He's been fine since that day .. has an appointment to see his doctor on Jan. 4th.]

We have a fairly new Super Target in our area and I just love going there. Today I had in my mind to purchase 2 items. My daughter needs a pair of snow boots and they MUST BE WHITE because she can only wear white shoes to class with their scrubs. Also, we had our first big blizzard of 2006 and that is one item we did not have while living in FL .. a snow shovel. We had been to other stores in the area earlier in the day so I figured why not check Target. This store is usually very well stocked, the employees are all very helpful and friendly .. which they were today. I couldn't find the snow shovels anywhere and I asked an employee and he said to follow him. Lo and behold, they were SOLD OUT. And, the only pair of WHITE snow boots were a size 11, she needs a size 8. We did browse through the Halloween costumes and decorations and just a bit further down they were stocking Christmas decorations. All the stores are though. I wasn't surprised at all. I did break down and buy my Halloween Candy at Target. I didn't buy what I had planned to get .. SNICKERS .. we ended up with a mixed bag of a lot of little different pieces of eveything. My daughter said she won't be so tempted if I got those but she would "hate me forever" if I bought Snickers because it's one of her favorites too. Here is their website: http://www.target.com/gp/homepage.html
