I was referred to Verve Wellness Center in particular to Dr. Warkentin by my sargeant for several months due to severe low back pain. I was always sceptical of his profession and refused to listen to my sargeant for several months. After a particularily difficult weekend with my back as I am a motorcycle police officer, I very reluctantly went in that monday for a visit. firstly, when I entered the clinic, I was amazed at how beautiful it was. In a professional medical complex and the4 or 5 girls at the front desk all looked and acted very professional. After filling out my information I was brought back personally by Dr. Warkentin. He immediately put me at ease by talking about the police dept and some of the ride alongs he had gone on. Believe it or not, his bedside manner made a huge difference. He performed about a 20 minute exam and then passed me off to his radiolgy tech for a set of x-rays. I was then brought back to a treatment room and put on a therapy by one of the assistants. When that was over, Dr. Warkentin brought me back to his personal office to go over my x-rays. They were on a monitor and I was given a disc for my own records. I was told by him that I more than likely had a disc herniation and that it was not visible on film but he could refer me for an MRI immediately. About 45 minutes later I was having my MRI taken. I then went back to Dr. Warkentin's clinic and he already had he results as he said on certain occasions, he would ask for a stat report. He was correct in his suspicion. I was brought back to a special decompression table and was pretty sore after. I was told that after a couple of treatments I should feel better. It has been 3 weeks and I am 90% better after months of being stubborn and i hate to admit it, but ignorant about a profession that I really knew nothing about. I am so very grateful that I took a leap of faith and ended up here. I have since referred several other police officers to this amazing place.
Pros: Like a spa and professional
Cons: I didn't get here sooner
