Vannatta Michael DC

My son saw Dr. Van Natta for neck discomfort from a injury he received on vacation. All I took him for was an adjustment. Dr. Van Natta acted like he was a MD interviewing him about his complaints, even doing a hearing test on him. He was over excited about his weight and made him feel like crap when his ancient scale weighed my son more than on our digital scale. He even said to him, «When was the last time you weighed yourself?» He took some awful x-​rays and between his partner and him they decided he could have a fracture of C1 or C2. I am a nurse, my instinct was that was nothing wrong with him. He had whiplash from the incident. Dr. Van Natta acted like if I didn’t go to the ER that he would call the authorities… he never said that but he eluded to that when I wouldn’t go to Trinity on 17^th Street. He called the ER, he wanted me to call him on his personal cell number and he told the ER to call him when my son was seen. My gut feeling was not to go but I know he could of called DCFS and made trouble for us. We were sent with his xrays that the ER didn’t take out of the package or even look at. My son endured a cervical collar, being transported on a gurney and then after the CAT scan… we are told… oh there is nothing wrong with him. If we had no insurance we would have paid $ 2688.25. With insurance we are paying $ 903.80 for being misdiagnosed. This is what is wrong with healthcare. He isn’t sure because he can’t take a decent xray, doesn’t want to be sued so he sends us to the ER and we have to pay for his mistake. I really want to go to a lawyer about this. This man should not be practicing chiropractics!!! I never want to see his face or hear his stupid voice again.
