read moreI was referred to Dr. Dave back in 1996/1997. As early as high school, I had debilitating pain in my mid back interfering with daily functioning. I ignored it for years and eventually found Dr. Dave. I am happy to say I am without mid back pain any more. I respect and trust Dr. Dave more than any Dr. I have ever come in contact with. He is the most thorough, patient and committed Dr. I know. He takes the time to explain things in terms we can all understand. Over the years, Dr. Dave began treating my family as we evolved and started treating both our daughters since birth. We are blessed to have him in our lives and would recommend him to anyone.

read moreDuring a workout at the gym, I was stricken with severe pain shooting down my legs that left me barely able to walk and at times unable to stand. After spending tens of $1000′s in costly surgeries, pain killers, and seeing several back specialist I was still limping around and in severe pain. Luckily a new family doctor referred me to Dr. Dunham. I saw results within weeks and was able to walk without a limp after 8 therapy sessions and some home exercise.

After recovering from my condition, my employer changed to an HMO health plan and I started seeing their in network chiropractor/therapist. Severe pain and my limp returned after 3 months and I decided it wasnt worth going through my insurance company and went back to Dr. Dunham. After a few treatments, he had me back on the right track.

Although I still have occasional pain and soreness, I am able to manage it with Dr. Dunhams help. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Dunham for helping me where other surgeons, doctors and chiropractors failed miserably.

read moreI started seeing Dr. Dave about a spot in my neck that was sending bursts of pain to the front of my head and eye area. It was something I had been dealing with for many years and finally had gotten to the point I needed to do something about it. I knew Dr. Dave from my job where he was a customer. He did a great job of showing me why I was feeling the pain and what we could do relieve it by simply getting my body back into alignment with simple adjustments and some stretching and exercises.

He does all his adjustments by hand which I really like. Within a month or so my neck was feeling much more stable and the pain was going away. Everyone who works at Health 1st are great people. When the quality of people and quality of service are both excellent, that is a recipe for success for all involved.
