Mac’s Wellness

Dr Mac is definitely the reason my back is healed after totaling my car in a very bad accident. I would absolutely recommend him as any ones chiropractor :)

Not sure I understand some of the complaints. The front desk staff in Alexandria knew who I was meeting with with and gave me the appropriate forms prior to meeting with him.
I took in my X-​Rays and had a very detailed conversation with him about the areas of concern that I had. He did an evaluation, used heat packs and did a very good job of adjusting my back and neck without pain.
A massage in any chiropractor’s office is targeted, and they are generally referred to as Swedish or Therapeutic. Who goes to a Chiropractor for a massage? I have Massage Therapists for massage and a Chiropractor for adjustments. Would never occur to me to go to a Podiatrist for reflexology or a Dermatologist to get my eyebrows waxed!
All in all Dr. Mac is very professional and obviously many years of training. If you are looking for a good Chiropractor who won’t beat you up, he’s the guy.

I purchased this dealfind deal because I was looking to de-​stress and enjoy some relaxing 30 minute massages. When I called Dr. Mac to clarify that this was the offer, he answered politely and informed me that it would be a blend of massage and chiropractic services, which I knew I could also use. He was also very flexible with my schedule and was excellent at accommodating my needs.
At my first appointment and the subsequent appointments to follow, Dr. Mac was warm, polite and friendly greeting me with a smile and being prompt with his time and services, without making the appointment feel rushed.
As a former D1 athlete and sufferer of various back pains, I really enjoyed the 10 minute heat pack, ¹⁰⁄₁₅ min massage, and 10 minute alignment breakdown of my appointments. Dr. Mac truly cared about what my ailments were and did everything he could to help relieve me of them.
Even after my 3 appointments were up, Dr. Mac let me know what my options were for the various service packages he provided but I never felt pressured to buy anything that wasn’t right for me.
At the end of the day, I chose to not sign up for any of his package deals because I live 30+ minutes from each of his locations BUT I certainly wanted to because I knew it would have continued to help my stress levels go down, that my body would have been in alignment, and that my lower back pains/​issues would have been greatly reduced (including scar tissue).
If you are looking for an overall improvement in your health and wellbeing, Dr. Mac has the experience and services to meet you needs!
Thanks Dr. Mac!

I wish I could give this 0 stars. I bought a deal from dealfind (this is a scam site — all their deals are duds — try redeeming them and the service provider wont call you back — that is another review though).
The deal was for a swedish massage — there was NO swedish massage of any kind and I get massages every month.
Just some tapping and adjusting — which was not good either. So even if I wanted to go to a chiropractor, I wouldn’t choose this gentleman. He is polite but I would recommend he not see any people for treatment if he has a bad cold and he is going to wipe his face with his hands or sleeves.

YourDr. Mac has been one of the best things to happen to my back this year. In late February early March i began having terrible back pains; by terrible i mean that on a scale of 1 – 10 it was an 8.5. I went home during spring break to North Carolina to see the chiropractor only to learn that one hip was higher than the other, my lower back was at a 32 degree angle instead of at the safe 40 degree angle and finally that my lower back where most of my pain was had very little cartilage. My chiropractor saw me two times then let me take my scans with me back to school sothat i may find a Dr. That would be able to help me before things worsened. I found out about dr mac from a friend so i called and he was able to put me into his schedule. The first day i never told him what was wrong with me, i just showed him the scans to see if both drs would be on the same page. He was right on it and also let me kno that the pain im feeling in my lower back is from a degenerative disk. The first day he didnt hastle me with money talk, instead he put me on his table treated me with stem, heat and gave me an adjustment and then we talked about my rehab plan.
Dr. Mac was genuienly concerned about my health and was focused on being able to work around my schdule as well as his. Each time i come into the buidling i do not wait more than 5 mins to see Dr. Mac. He is the first Dr. That I have been too where appoitments seem to actually matter to him.
Reading the other reviews, I have to say that it does not seem that they knew what the were going in for… if you are going in for 3 back massages how can you complain about the chiropractic treatment. DR. Mac explains the instrument that he uses to adjust your back before he uses it on you. He also does the adjustment with
His hands and he is extremely thorough. Since day one of being treadted by him i have experienced fewer episodes of pain and when they do come back it is around a 5 and my hips are evening out.
So for all my fellow reviewers:
1) it does not matter that his name is not on the directory. You know to go to suite 200 on the second floor. Its the only suite on the floor and the elevator lets you off right in front. You would have to be an idiot to miss it. If you would speak to the receptionist as soon as you walked in it would not seem so chaotic. Try this line «would you tell Dr Mac that his 4 oclock is here?»
2) I have parked in that parkig lot every time and have never received a ticket. If you did realize that the building accomodates more than 30 offices so it does not reflect on Dr. Macs capabilities and he is not to blame for that.
3) If you dont like something such as the heat level or that he his digging to deeply jus speak up and he will make adjustments for you. One of his best qualities is that he works to please the patient.
4) Every Dr. or service that you visit will hit you with a price for his or her services. Its good to know that Dr. Mac has options for you and that he is willing to work with you.
5) How can you see a man wash his hands when the bathroom is not in his office. If it was that big of a problem to you, then simply ask if he could keep hand sanitizer near. As I stated previously, he adjust.
6) Yes he is only at the Alexandria location 3 times a week, which shouldnt bother you because you should only be receiving an adjustment about two times a week. If that is not enough for you he does have another location which is mot unusual if you are successful.
7) If you decide that you dont want the vitamins he is offering he wont continue to sale them to you, although I will admit they do work. My friend who referred me to him loaded me with them when i was sick and i was already feeling better the next day.
8) Dr. Mac knows what he’s doing. I’ve been to multiple chiropractors growing up and this is the first one where I could tell there was a true patient doctor bond wherethe doctor cares more about your progress.
9) I am 21 yrs old and already dealing with major back problems. I wat to be able to run around with my kids when I have them. Before Dr. Mac that was not looking to great for me. A shot back is excruciating pain but now he is belping bring me a step closer to ensuring that Ill be one of those run around wrestle with your kids type of mom.
10) Im thankful for the services, respect and many adjustments Dr Mac had made for me. Not just the physical adjustments but also the time adjustments and the paying process as well.
When yougive a review you should paint the entire picture. If you tell the Dr what you are looking for and what does and does nOt work for you he will make it happen.
Signed,
A satisified future mother :)

I was thinking about purchasing this deal from Eversave but when I called to find out more about the massage and the hours, the receptionist said that he sets his own hours and would be happy to talk to me. Sounded a little odd. I was confused that he is a chiropractor and a massage therapist (not usually typical) so I asked and she said he is a chiropractor, and when I asked again if he was a massage therapist she didn’t answer that and just said he is a chiropractor. Sure sounds to me like they just want to get you in there to try to get you to get the chiro services. Glad I called — this deal sounds good on paper but I have too many reservations so I won’t be buying it! I’ll stick with a legitimate massage!

Came in with kbg deal, 3 massages for $ 30. It was not what I expected. This place is not worth it, even tho it sounds like a good deal.
1) you can’t park in the parking lot in front of the building, if you do you will get a ticket.
2) Dr Mac’s name is not listed on the building directory. But all you know is that you are looking for suite 200. You get on the elevator to the 2^nd floor, and it takes you right in front of suite 200. Then it gets awkward. You sit there waiting in front of a receptionist who isn’t really the receptionist for Dr Mac. There’s just a bunch of random stuff going on, nothing related to massage or chiropractic care.
3) your «hands on massage» lasts 5 to 10 min. After that he will use a regular vibratory massager to massage your back (which is something you really could’ve done yourself at home)
4) if you’ve got knots in your back, proceed with caution! This guy digs his fingernail into your back to «break the knots» (where do they do that at?!)
5) next he will try to assess your alignment. He may tell you that one leg is shorter than the other. He will use some type of hammer like tool to knock on random joints in your lower back and butt (which really doesn’t do anything at all)
6) on to the actual adjustment– its not very thorough. I’ve had other chiropractors do a much better job. You leave there feeling like there was so much more that could’ve been cracked. He will say that he only does light force adjustments.
7) He promotes his package deals, especially the diamond package at $ 900/​year.
8) He will tell you that your vitamins are not good enough, in order to sell his own vitamins
9) Not once did I see him wash his hands.
10) he is only at this location 3 times a week.
11) After the 3^rd visit, he will give you an analysis of your health, which is a bunch of bs.
12) I could tell you more, but i think you get the point.
Bottom line: save your $ 30 for something else.
