Review content:
I had a friend who went to Sound after being in an auto accident. Sound was chosen partly due to its high rating in CitySearch. Upon being examined by Mr. Early, the person was told that they were in really bad shape. He recommended a six month treatment plan and that they would need to see him 5 days a week (five days a week for six months, seems a bit excessive) with no or very limited physcial activity during that time.
He also tried to convince them that they were depressed from the accident (while they were not exactly ecstatic about being in pain, the person was far from depressed, at least until after their visit). Needless to say, his diagnosis just scared the person more and created more pain in their mind then was there before.
He took numerous X-rays and showed and compared the results with what he called a healthy spine (which was from a much taller person then the patient), and told them that the vertebrae were touching each other and this was the basis for the diagnosis mentioned above. Basically, if what he said were true, the person probably wouldn't be able to walk without considerable pain or really function at all, which was not the case at all. Yes, the person had pain, but that's to be expected with whiplash occurred in an auto accident. The person almost cancelled a scheduled trip in order not to miss any future appointments as he scared them into think the appointments were that necessary.
In addition, when the person mentioned that they were going to go to an orthopedic surgeon, Mr. Early told them that they should just give him a month before they went anywhere else and said that they had their best interest in mind. However, I think that if he truly had their best interest in mind that he wouldn't have a problem with them seeking a second opinion. Which the person did...diagnosis...your spine is fine (x-rays were taken by the ortho), you just have neck strain and basically just needed time, rest, and perhaps some treatment massage.
I would be a little leery of the practices employed at this office. I'm not saying that they may not help some people, but to tell someone that they will need an unrealistic amount of therapy and that the person should abstain from any physical activity and try to tell them that they are probably depressed due to the pain that they are in borders on the shady if not unethical.
Also, I would be a little suspicious when four of the 5 star reviews on this clinic fall on the same date. Could be the same person, but that is just speculation.
