Linda S. Grappin, DC Chiropractor 12511 South Tamiami Trail, North Port, FL 34287

"Let me first say that I consider the Grappin Family to be my personal friends and Doctors. I’ve been using the Grappin Clinic for several years now and I’ve noticed that all their patients are treated as family. The entire staff not only believes 100% in the treatment they provide but receive the treatments themselves. For them it’s not about money! It’s about helping their patients, many of which have been treated by several Doctors and have had surgeries with no relief and to some even more pain and restricted movement! As a last resort they tried the Grappin Clinic which they may have received information by word of mouth and for the first time in years started receiving pain relief and movement. I’m a retired U.S Army Ranger and Special Operations Soldier with 21 years of service that has taken its toll. I stopped counting parachute jumps at 265 which was 10 years before I retired. I’ve been wounded one of which pierced the Sciatic Nerve and a Disc that slips by itself. Other Doctors have recommended Medication or Surgery. I understand that with my background of carrying heavy weighted rucksacks day in and day out with up to 180 lbs, mountain climbing, Helocasting, and conducting special operations all over the world takes its toll. When I came to the Grappin Clinic I could hardly move. Dr. Carl started treating me which resulted in total recovery. I’m able to run again and walk long distances with weight on my back without pain. I continue regular treatments he recommends because of the Disc problem sliding out of place. I call it keeping me tuned up. A few years ago I landed on my Coccyx (Tailbone) in an awkward position which resulted in the Coccyx sticking out rather that the normal position of curling under. The result was very painful to sit. I had it X-rayed and the Radiologist stamped the X-ray as normal. I showed the X-ray to Doctor Carl, he started to treat the problem and finally got it just right which popped it back in place. You could hear it throughout the clinic and what a relief!!! My personal belief is that the Doctors at the Grappin Clinic are the best qualified and carrying Chiropractors in the State and I’ve been to a few prior to finding the Grappin Clinic. Without reservation, I give my highest recommendation for anyone requiring treatment. As I said, for them it’s not about money, it’s about helping their patients’. Robert E. Hopper"

"I'm glad I waited for a month to do this review. I hurt my back several months ago somehow and had bad sciatic nerve pain and it was getting a tiny bit better but then I bought a new house and moved myself and at the end really damaged my back worse to where I was in pain all day long and in the mornings I was about to cry just putting on shorts (after my morning dose of pain pills and waiting 30 minutes) and thats after a month of 'doctors' visits and pain pills! I had to do something! I'm 57 and had never been to a chiropractor before and saw Grappin Chiropractic - it was close to me in North Port, took my insurance and was already rated high so I called them. Let me tell you - it has been one month and I feel almost new! It's hard to describe how far I've come. The first visit was probably about a 2 hour analysis of what was going on and the next day I started. Dr. Ross explained everything in detail, what was wrong and what he was going to work on and he started to work on me. He told me it was a gradual process and and it has been over the past month but I will tell you that he found issues I didnt even know I had I had been living with them so long and I have felt better after every visit. I cant say enough about how much he has helped me - I am almost back to normal - I am a very active person but I had been turned into a whining old man and all I could think about was the pain but I am very close to normal now and I definitely have Dr. Ross and Grappin Chiropractic to thank for it!"

"Dr Ross's ethics and care is rarely seen in todays healthcare providers he listens and takes time to address the issues you are having.I have had hip and back pain for 5 yrs and bond to a scooter for the last 2 yrs . I have been to chiropractors before and do believe in the field and the healing that come with it . But had only minimal success Until my vist with Dr Ross I knew he was going to help just by the level of care and concern he exspressed at my consultation. He did extensive flex and nerve test and xrays on my legs ,feet and back . Then brought me back after reviewing my xray and test explain the course of care he was going to do and told me what i can exspect in return . We began that day where he did more on me then any other chiropractor in the past the same went for the second appointment. By the second ajustment I began to see a slight difference in my pain and flexing .By the 3rd time I saw him I was very please with care and exspressed it to him saying you need to know what a difference chiropractic this time is doing for me. I almost gave up on chiropractic care because the relief was short lived and never really inproved until Grappin and Dr Ross I am not running yet but if Im going to it will be because of the treatment and care I am recieving with Dr Ross I will update this review again . My message to you is if you have back or hip problems with no relief give Dr Ross a call"

"This family clinic is amazing in how they treat you personally, not as a typical impersonal Dr/patient relationship. They are real people caring for real people. From a medical perspective, they are very effective in their treatments, dealing with the problems using a wide range of technologies and treatment options. They go the extra mile in obtaining results. You will be pleased and relieved, physically and emotionally to engage them for your Chiropractic treatment."

"Grappin Clinic is great! They have four chiropractors and they are all related. They consult with each other to design a plan just for your specific needs and it works. They are friendly, experienced (40 years) and dedicated. Their rates are reasonable and they bill your insurance when possible. They are truly committed to helping you."
