Agape Chiropractic - Dr Luis Arriaza ripoff tricks you in for "free consultation" then pressures you for x-rays and fraudulently bills also pays off attornies Baldwin Park California
This doctor is a BIG FRAUD! He came to my son's school and gave a lecture. He then invited us for a "free consultation," and really pumped the "consulta gratis" to the spanish speakers. He said there was no obligation for treatment.
When we went in, the consult was a joke. he barely checked us out. Then he pressured us for x-rays and said they were really important to see if we had arthritis or scoliosis. He would not hardly let us leave.
I don't know how but he talked us into the xray for $25. Then he showed it to us and said if we did not get treatment that we could end up with cancer or arthritis or other major illnesses because we were subluxated.
He then wanted to sign us up to some plan that was $600, and each time we said no, he changed the price or offered other payment installments. He would not let us leave! Finally we did, though and never came back.
Other parents who went had the same thing happen. Those who signed up for treatment said he spent less than 1 minute with them, did not check them out, and just cracked them really fast. If they tried to ask him questions, he just ran out of the room and said he would see them next time.
Another parent had insurance and said he overbilled and billed for things he never did. He had been in a car accident and got sent to him by an attorny, who he found out later was getting paid kickbacks for sending patients to him.
Stay away, all he cares about is money! We have reported him to the school district and also for insurance fraud. Hopefully he will get shut down soon!

My comment is how does Ronnie know your prices for x-rays if he has never been to your office. I have a feeling that Ronnie has indeed been to your office, and you treated him like it was a used car lot. Alan

This Is Funny

This is funny! The funniest aspect of this comment written by "Ronnie", is the FACT that Agape Chiropractic has no, absolutely NO record of a "Ronnie" ever coming into this office. This notice was written in May and according to our STRICT records there was never a "Ronnie" in our office even for a "consult and exam at no charge." Secondly, myself, nor any other doctor affiliated with Agape Chiropractic has done a screening at a school in over 3 years. I am sure a disgruntled parent will not wait 3 years to make a complaint if there would even be basis for one. Thirdly, many, if not all Chiropractors offer consultations and exams at no charge. This is normal for a practice that services a community that is not very affluent, and even in affluent areas, patients are always looking for some type of discount. We know the importance of Chiropractic and overall health, so we allow the opportunity for everyone to come in and see if they are candidates for Chiropractic health care. Next, I haven't been in private practice for over 4 1/2 years...so this is hilarious, how I, Dr. Arriaza, could have seen a patient this year, or for that fact, within the last four years and "not let them leave." Next, $25.00 for an x-ray is very, very reasonable. Most doctors charge anywhere from $40.00-$80.00 for an x-ray, so THANK YOU for promoting my reasonable prices! I could continue, but I have to run to do something a bit more important that write things about people that have absolutely no basis and no TRUTH. I know who is writing this. I know the level of envy and jeolousy that makes this one indivual do things so nasty and bad as these. I know that this individual also wrote the other one. How? Because they were written with in minutes of one another. It is o.k. As J. Krishnamurti once said, "false never lives and truth never dies." O.M....leave it alone. Go on with your life. Me and my family will pray for you and yours so you can continues with your life and move on to happiness and feeling good about yourself. "you never know how far reaching what you may say, think, or do, today, will affect the lives of millions tomorrow. It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness, get the BIG IDEA and all else will follow." O.M....IT IS BETTER TO LIGHT ONE CANDLE THAN TO CURSE THE DARKNESS.
