Wow, please think twice about this doctor of chiropratic. He does not cover him patients by carrying malpractice insurance. Dr. Hewko injured me15 years ago while his practice was still in Costa Mesa. I was 25 years old at the time. Due to his rough approach to chiropratic, he injured my neck. I was originally diagnosed with cervical neuritis and 2 herniated discs - the next morning after the adjustment by Dr. Hewko. I awoke at 8:00 am and could not get out of bed, I could not stand up (my spine could not hold my body weight - for 6 months I could not stand up. I was unable to return to full time work for 2 years. I saw an attorney, and was told after the attoney's investigation, Dr. Hewko had all of his assets protected, and getting anything from him in a lawsuit was impossible. Interestingly his office lost my patient chart, could not find my x-rays......pretty darn shady!!!!!unbelievable!!! I am now 40 years old and have had a LIFE filled with pain, physical therapy, 2400 mg of ibuprophen is now what i take during the day and narcotic pain meds in the evening. I refuse to be foggy headed during the day. I refuse to take nerve pain meds, because I don't want to feel groggy and out of it. SO, AS YOU CAN TELL, MY ENTIRE LIFE FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS + MY FUTURE, HAVE BEEN FOREVER ALTERED DUE TO DR. THOMAS HEWKO. He never once acknowledged injuring me, NEVER OFFERED AN APPOLOGY. I am fairly confident I am not the only person he has injured. His judgement day will come, for his own good I hope he turns his life around.
