Patient Stories
Our Patients Love Us
“A friend recommended Dr. Barone”
I was in an auto accident that caused major pain in my back and neck. I attended physical therapy for months with no improvement. A friend recommended Dr. Barone and after only a few visits I started feeling much better. My neck and back now are totally back to normal.
— John, 24 · New Haven“I am back to normal”
I casually went to pick up a box at work and had a sudden pain in my lower back. Dr. Barone performed a physical exam and determined the root of the problem. It took only a couple of adjustments and I am back to normal.
— Greg, 40 · North Haven“Your reports made it possible to settle this case”
I wanted to thank you. Your reports made it possible to settle this case. When the adjustor saw the thoroughness of your documentation, she finally came up with a reasonable offer.
