Summit Spine and Wellness

I was in one of those big goofy therapeutic boots for nearly 3 years, trying to mend a persistent case of perineal tendinosis in my left ankle. I schlepped that boot around until I was beside myself. The head of ankle orthopedics at Penn offered me surgery or told to do my exercise and have patience. 3 painful years later I found Dr. Lenny Roberts, whose thumbs are geniuses. (And they must ache after a long day at work.) In about six weeks of intensive therapy I was hiking Dragons Back in Hong Kong. I see him monthly for a tune-​up. When I go regularly I’m fine. If I miss a couple weeks, I feel it. I can honestly say I can hike again, travel again, live again, thanks to those thumbs and mystical hands of Dr. Lenny. (And the Penn god just shrugs at the notion that this active release chiropractic stuff might be a viable solution.) Thanks Doc!

Dr Lenny is fantastic. He does great work! I think he is one of the best chiropractors in Philly. He is the best!!! Great bedside manor, easy to talk to and wonderful with kids. Strongest recommendation.

Dr. Lenny and his staff are the friendliest bunch of people you’ll ever meet. They take care in understanding each patient on a personal level and tailor a program specifically designed to you. In my case, I’ve greatly improved my posture which has helped me breathe better and have more energy. Even when the office is full of patients, it’s amazing how you still receive personal attention. It’s very much a family atmosphere at Summit. The music they play is great, too!

I went in to Dr. Lenny for a torn labrum from running. I went from not being able to run for more than a couple miles to completing my first 50 kilometer ultra marathon this spring.
Dr. Lenny really takes his time to try and determine what is causing your pain or uncomfort. He really is looking out for the best interest of his patients and wants to help In any way he can.
I highly recommend him to athletes and runners to keep you active for the long term!

When I hurt my back, I was worried that I would be out of work for weeks! I could barely walk into Dr. Robert’s office — the pain was so intense. I was concerned and scared to go to a chiropractor as I never had been before. Dr. Robert’s provided a free consultation and support via a night class to teach me about the every day wear and tear my spine goes through and how to improve these circumstances in order to live a life with a strong spine. He was professional, answered all my questions and most of all put my mind at ease by fully explaining what was going on during my treatments. My back pain from my injury has healed and my treatments ensured a speedy recovery to get me back to work! I still visit often for routine check ups and adjustments in order to be proactive in maintaining a healthy spin — free from pain. I highly recommend Dr. Robert’s to all who suffer from back injuries or pain.

I’ve been to a lot of chiropractors over the years and this is the first one who hasn’t really adjusted anything. They do a lot of education about chiropractic and pre-​prep (x-​rays and the like) but I never got the satisfaction of adjustments that other doctors have provided. And, Dr. Lenny suggested a course of treatment — through a different doctor — that three other doctors (2 chiropractors and my primary care) had never heard of for someone my age. I was underwhelmed.

So, where do I begin? Lenny and I used to work out at the gym, and while my back wasn’t killing me, it surely wasn’t in the best of shape either. Since we were going to the gym at the same time, I started seeing Lenny just to get things squared away. What was the biggest surprise is that many other health issues I had were taken care of.
Lenny was absolutely amazing, he takes his time, educates you on what things mean and truly believes in his ability to help people realize better lives through proactively treating our bodies better.
