Harold K Harver, DC

Dr. Harver, I miss you! I live in Washington DC, but go home to San Diego regularly and that is when I can seem him for an adjustment or two. I’ve been in excruciating pain with my lower back, hip, leg and tendonitis in my left arm. I did a call out on FB for friends to recommend. I ended up going to this one guy who I had hoped would be decent. I was so eager to get there and get relief, but no. The guy I saw today in DC was 1.) afraid to really «crack» me; 2) refused to pull my leg, which I totally feel needs to be done (he «doesn’t do that»), 3) did not spend much time on me at all, 4) did nto even touch my elbow until I said, «well aren’t you going to do something for my tendonitis, 5) was not very knowledgeable, and 6) was totally disinterested.7) charged twice as much as dr. Harver.
On the other hand, you have chiropractors like Dr. Harver who 1) is strong, confident in his abilities and not afraid to «crack» you, 2) does pull my leg and use many other manipulations effectively, 3) is generous with his time, 4) has successfuly treated my teonditis, sciatic, etc for past flare-​ups, 5) is extremely knowledgeable, and 6) totally engaged and a great listener of his patients, 7) very affordable.
Additionally, I also appreciate the «surfer» in him, esp since I have been living on the east coast for many years and they are virtually non-​existent here. He does sport Hawaiian shirts and takes, I believe, Thursdays off to surf. He brings a bit of the surfer zen to his healing space which is an added bonus!
So the next time you feel all out of whack, visit Dr. Harver who will have you leaving his office «hanging ten!»

My wife first started seeing Dr. Harver when she was about 30 weeks along. I was intrigued by the way she described Dr. Harver and his office. I have chronic lower back pain with arthritis in my hands, knees, and hips. I like how he actually has conversations with you, not just the idle chat during a 5 to 10 minute appt. Sometimes the appts go a little longer/​shorter depending on what needs to get done. He tells you what he is doing, why he is doing it, and the benefit you will get from it. The office is also very family friendly. I am able to bring both of my small children and they enjoy themselves with the toys and books they have there. They also don’t charge an arm and leg for a visit. For my visits I pay $ 45. I go about every three weeks or so, depending on how I feel. I would highly recommend Dr. Harver for anyone who needs or would like to see a chiropractor.
