Dr. Chimes is awesome! I have been struggling with lower back pain for years after my spinal fusion surgery, and not one doctor in 5 years could tell me what the problem was. Dr. Chimes listened carefully and did the proper tests to finally give me a diagnosis, which for anyone who has struggled with chronic pain will know that not knowing what is really wrong is one of the most frustrating things. He preformed all the tests himself, which I really loved. This is the best I have felt in over 5 y
While I believe he is a very good doctor, he is hands down the meanest doctor I've ever gone to. He's rude, condescending and he actually belittled me. All because I didn't explain my symptoms the way he wanted to hear them.
Dr. Chimes is a must see if you have chronic back/neck/body pain. I've had chronic pain for over a decade now and was feeling hopeless after every option was exhausted. PT, MRI's, X-rays, copious amounts of blood work, acupuncture, naturalist, chiropractic, rheumatologist, and the list goes on and on. I was about to throw in the towel until my naturopath referred me to Dr. Chimes. After thorough assessments and on-going work, I can finally say that I'm on the right path to feeling like mysel
Highly recommend Dr. Chimes. I was referred to him from another friend. I had an extreme pain in my left shoulder that prevented me from even getting keys out of my front pocket or my wallet out of my back pocket. Dr. Chimes spent time to carefully diagnose the problem and after thorough analysis got me out of six weeks of pain with one treatment in under 48 hours. I've been about four weeks now with no pain in the shoulder.
I recommend Dr. Chimes and his team without any reservations! I had bilateral frozen shoulders and Dr Chimes treated me. I was in extreme pain for months prior to seeing him and was unable to do simple tasks, such as getting dressed, washing my hair, he fixed me! He and his staff are courteous, caring and very professional.
I found Dr. Chimes to be rude, pretentious, and a complete waste of my time. I cannot provide much detail of the appointment in this space, but an example was he suggested giving me costly injections for an injury/issue that was yet to be diagnosed. He provided me with a list of possible diagnoses and left me to go get x-rays for a muscle pain I had in my upper back? I was charged over $300 for this visit. When I complained they did nothing at all. Very disappointed. Wouldn't go back
Dr. Chimes is very technically sound and that is why I would recommend him to others. I have found him to be more difficult to build rapport with and even felt on one instance that he was being condescending with me rather than being patient as I attempted to answer his questions after having been sedated for a procedure.
My girlfriend and I were extremely impressed. Previously I had gone to Proliance & was looking for another opinion because they weren't addressing my continuing pain or giving me options. It was as if BC I was still able to walk I was just complaining. His was extremely professional and thorough. The time I spent with Dr. Chimes was filled with relevant questions & examinations that have never been done me after going to appointments for a year at proliance. I feel completely confident in him.
I've been to a lot of appointments over the years for my knee (two torn ACLs), and Dr. Chimes is by far my favorite doctor. I really liked that he didn't jump to any conclusions but went through different questions and gentle movements and did an ultrasound to pinpoint the problem. I also appreciated how he explained why he was doing what he did so I could follow along as he manipulated my leg and did the ultrasound. For the first time, a doctor spent 45 minutes in the room with me instead of ru
