Stamford Sports & Spine

Top notch staff and quick appointments. One stop shop with massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, and chiropractic care. Highly recommended.

I have been working with Dr. Q and the team at SSS for a year now. They are top notch, from front desk staff all the way to their proactive approach to sports medicine. They have immense experience in traditional physical therapy protocol as well as chiropractor, massage, and acupuncture practices. I’ve been very happy with their work and will continue to be a customer as long as they continue their commitment to excellence. I would recommend them to any and everyone who would ask.

They got me completely out of severe pain in 3 days and reduced it by half in one day. Couldn’t function without the improvement. Plenty of good equipment. I could do the muscle stimulation and undulating water bed treatments all day.

Everyone who works here is awesome! I could end the review here. But I will give you an explanation. I started coming here because I was in excruciating pain and called them because they were in the vicinity of my job and had great reviews. I was able to get a same day appointment. They have you fill out an extensive information sheet online so you do not have to do it when you get there. Michelle the office manager is very nice and accommodating with scheduling. Dr. Q, Dr. Z, and Jack are very knowledgeable and easy to talk to and ultimately fixed my issue. I will continue to come here!

I have been dealing with chronic hip pain for the last 13 months. I did PT when the pain initially started and saw only minimal improvement, learning to live with the pain. I then started seeing Dr. Z and Dr. Q and within 6 weeks was back to playing soccer.

I have had knee/​lower back for several years and over this time, I have been to several doctors — chiropractors, physical therapists, acupuncturist, … etc but no one had been able to provide sustained treatment.
I eventually visited Stamford Sports and Spine in January 2015 after having read their reviews. In general, I don’t go by reviews as it is hard to tell on the internet if the reviews are indeed genuine or otherwise. But having tried all options, I decided to visit Stamford Sports and Spine. If it didn’t help, it would just be yet another option I tried to relieve my chronic pain.
Within a week of treatment, I started noticing changes. After having visited them for some time, I can confidently say that this place is genuine and it works — for the first time in years I have received treatment that has truly benefited my conditions and helped me live pain-​free when so many other expensive and well-​known options had not worked. They have been caring, compassionate, taken my concerns to heart and provided me a genuine level of care showing that they did not just treat you as a patient from whom they will benefit monetarily but someone for whom they really care for. Stamford Sports and Spine has been a one-​stop facility — they provide a well-​rounded range of services — most of which I have availed of and includes acupuncture, physical therapy and chiropractor services. The receptionist (Michelle) always greet me by my name everyday the moment I arrive and the doctors and therapists have always been caring and nice.
I feel that I must tell others about this because I have experienced this first-​hand. I cannot say whether everyone will have the same experience, but from my personal experience and as far as my condition is concerned and the way they have treated me, I can safely say that they have been by far the most caring and effective treatment I have received and I wish I had visited this place long before.
A Happy Patient from Stamford, CT.

After many years of living in 5^th gear, I’m finally shifting into 6^th thanks to SSS. The swift, effective visits comport to any busy lifestyle and after several visits it’s clear the doctors know what they are doing.

I think Dr. Zadnick and his staff are great, except for the receptionist. He really knew what he was doing and definitely gave me a great adjustment.
Now for the bad part… they are extremely pushy about signing up to come in on a very very regular basis. I’m used to get one adjustment a month and that’s it for the past 7 years, which is more than good enough for me, and was hoping to do the same when I moved to Stamford. The first appointment was expensive and I was ok with that given it was a more of a comprehensive evaluation but the second one was not all that much cheaper. Now, the push was for me to come in as often as twice a week!!! There’s no way I can afford that much less twice a month. The receptionist was very pushy and anybody who tries to give me a hard sell on medical treatments gets a check in the red column right away! It’s ok to suggest it but to push is just not acceptable in my book.
I called to get a massage and I wasn’t able to get one for their patient price since I hadn’t been there in 4 months… the receptionist automatically tried to schedule me for a treatment before a massage appointment even without asking me. When I said I just wanted a massage, the price was $ 75 for 30 minutes. I was just in Vegas and the massage at the bellagio was going to cost me $ 150 for 50 minutes… to charge such prices in Stamford is just plain ridiculous in my book and the fact that a discount is tied to an expensive treatment is just ludicrous!

Doctor Z was very helpful in treating my back pain, explaining the cause to me, and explaining how to prevent future injury.

Went to see the Chiropractors after being in pain from my right leg for years. Started feeling better from my 1^st session. Very polite and professional doctors and staff who are always willing to accommodate me and gave me important tips to help me at home. I am very impressed and happy with their service. I will definitely keep up with their recommendations and keep up with my appointments so my leg pain does not return.

The doctors here are great guys — they can help you out with any type of injury and also help you understand your complicated insurance coverage.
The offices are clean and the receptionist is always friendly and helpful. They also offer professional massage therapy on site.

I have been going to Stamford Sports and Spine for the past 3 months and I love them! They are super professional and very caring to make sure they accommodate the patients needs. Every time I walk in everyone greets me with beautiful smiles and they treat me as family! My back pain has decrease a lot since I first started going here. I recommend them highly to everyone including my friends and family! They treat you with respect and make sure you leave home feeling a lot better then when you first come in! Thanks treating me this great Dr. Z and everyone else! You guys are the best!

I went to these guys when I could barely walk and they helped me immediately. They are always friendly and nice, and very professional. I’ve been going back for almost three years now, whenever I need an adjustment. They also provide acupuncture and massage when needed. Always a good experience.

Went for the first time yesterday. The gals at the front desk were SO nice and helpful, they schedule me right away. I left feeling better already and can’t wait to go back!

I wish I could give this place 0 out of 5 stars, because I have never dealt with a ruder receptionist. Normally, most establishments want as much business as they can get, especially when people pay ahead of time (via Groupon) and expect to have services performed. Now, I ended up moving to Manhattan so I never got the chance to ever use my groupon, however, I already paid for two massages. I wanted to use the funds that I already fronted ($ 69) towards a half hour massage, which is basically ¼th of the services I would have gotten initially, and I would have still had to pay $ 6. Instead the receptionist warns me that I cannot longer use my groupon once its expired. I tried to explain to her that that’s not Groupon policy and that those funds, once paid, can be used for any services at that estalishment no matter what. And I quote directly from Groupon:
«Did you forget to use this? Never fear! You can still redeem your Groupon at Stamford Sports & Spine the $ 69.00 you paid, from now to eternity. All other terms still apply.»
and again:
«traditional Groupon vouchers, the promotional value will EXPIRE on the date specified in the offer, unless prohibited by law. The amount paid WILL NEVER EXPIRE and must continue to be honored by the merchant after the promotional value expires. The amount paid may be applied toward any goods or services offered by the merchant if the original goods or services specified on the voucher are no longer available. Promotional value can’t be combined with other offers. Doesn’t cover tax or gratuity. Not reloadable. Fully transferable.»
At first the receptionist insisted that once the Groupon expired, I cant do anything else with those funds. I read the two statements above to her and THEN she finally goes back to ask, I am assuming the person who is responding to all the shitty reviews below, what can be done. «Finally! — I’m thinkin’ — Some progress here!» But NO, his resolve was just as proposterous as the receptionist. He said that I can ONLY utilize the funds for the same services that I purchased it for. Now, I dont know about you, mister man and little lady reading this review, but I am NOT made of money. I do not have $ 120 to spend for A ONE HOUR MASSAGE, and they told me that I had to pay for two full hour massages, and they would be able to discount the $ 69 I already paid. I tried to plead with them and tell them that I dont have that kind of money, which is why I went on groupon in the first place. But they didn’t even care. I come from the hospitality industry where we happily cater to anyone’s need, especially when clients pay ahead of time! I kept referring back to the policy, and it didn’t even matter. It was literally like dealing with a broken record. I told them that I would just call Groupon and have them deal with this, because as a merchant, they werent gonna do ANYTHING. I get that this place isnt a spa or massage parlour by any means, but there’s absolutely no need to turn away someone who has already fronted money, and is only asking for a 30 minute massage.
So I called groupon, who apologized on Stamford Sport and Spine’s behalf and they refunded me the money.
Please, dont even bother replying with a «I’m sorry for your inconveniece» email, because no one on your staff gave a rat’s ass about helping or trying to resolve the sitaution in an effective and polite way. You’re in the business of helping people feel better, there’s other ways to do that not just through massages. So dont even bother saying sorry, because you’re not. If I had the money to buy 2 $ 120 hour long massages, I wouldn’t have called to plead for your establishment to allow me to use the funds I already paid.
I hope you realize you are awful at dealing with people, and I truly and honestly wish that you take this review as an opportunity to reflect and rectify the way you handle your customers or potential customers. Because I guarantee you that if you did, you would have stellar reviews on here, and not shitty ones like this one.
Cheers!

Seeing chiropractors my whole life and had high expectations. Very pleased with Dr. Q.

This place is great! I received an amazing Groupon massage that was followed by a consult with Dr Z and a treatment plan that aligned with my goals and needs. I am now driving 45 min each way to receive services and am happy to do so based on the professionalism of the staff and quality of the care I’m receiving.

My Groupon was for two massages. First was brilliant. Second one never happened. They had the appt for 11am, but I had it for 1pm. (I made it in person and believe I’d verified it carefully at the time.) Just before the appointment, when downstairs from their office, I called to say who I was, that I had an appointment now, and was almost there. They said okay. I show up, run into the massage therapist at reception, and she says I was very late. I spoke to two other staff as well. Instead of trying to deal with the fact that there was a discrepancy, they took the position that I missed my appointment. When I took them to task for not calling me when I didn’t show up at 11, they said they don’t call Groupon customers who miss their appointments. They seemed to have a very dismissive attitude toward Groupon holders, and I didn’t care for how they dealt with me. I wasn’t willing to go back so I got a partial refund from Groupon instead.
FOLLOW UP after merchant’s comment to initial review…
Thanks for proving my point! You’re assuming YOU had the appointment entered correctly. And, if you really didn’t have my phone number, how would you have contacted me to cancel if your therapist couldn’t show? Also, post facts, not fiction — I didn’t raise my voice, and I walked out calmly, saying I’d decide later whether to reschedule or ask for a refund from Groupon. They gave me back most of the money.
You so completely miss the point it’s laughable.

Stamford Sports and Spine is a great place for those who have back problems. The whole staff is friendly, fun to talk to, and they always are willing to help you. Both Doctor Zomick and Queiros are professional. They are the type of doctors who will help get you on the right track in anything that you need. All my questions were answered, I feel a big change and relief. Best doctors that I have been too in a very long time and it’s hard to find a great doctor in this day in age. They also have a range of services including massages and acupuncture which are just as amazing.

Not how you gain /​retain new customers.
I bought an online deal for a massage and consultation. For a 10:00am appointment, I arrived at 9:40. I was made to fill out insurance paperwork, provide my card, and sign a document saying I would pay whatever my insurance didn’t cover (for a massage!!!) before anyone would talk to me. Then, I waited for half an hour. At 10:30, it was finally time for my 10:00 massage.
The massage was pleasant, no complaints there. Though this is clearly a medical office, not a spa. After the massage, I was taken back, given a tutorial on the value of chiropractics, received x-​rays I didn’t ask for, and told I needed a follow-​up appointment, which I made for one week later.
The follow-​up: 10:00am appointment, I arrived at 9:55 and signed in. At 10:30, 35 minutes after arrival, I was sent to another room to sit and wait. Five minutes after that, a new doctor came back and said, I needed to go to another waiting room, while he worked with some other patients, and got a chance to look at my charts and x-​rays.
At this point, I excused myself saying that a business that pressures extra services, and more importantly keeps me waiting a combined 90 minutes for a 60 minute service scheduled in advance, is not one where I wish to be a client. Further, x-​rays take a few hours to develop. So, I would expect them to have been reviewed in the 7 days between appointments before I arrived, or at a minimum in the 35 minutes I was kept waiting past my scheduled appointment time.
I left, but not without the doctor following me out to insist that my issues were not his fault or responsibility.
Perhaps enough of this company’s business comes from people that have significant medical need, and don’t have the option to complain about service, so there is no need for good service. I for one, will not be back.
