Dr. Ammitai W

What a great experience. I went from agony to comfortable in just 3 visits. Dr. McGee is one if the most personable and professional care providers that I have ever met. If you have back pain, come see Dr. McGee.

About a year back, I reached out to Dr. McGee when I was going through a tough time. I had a hip reconstruction two years earlier, but it had again degraded and developed new arthritic spurs and significant impingement. I was working towards getting a hip replacement surgery, but the doctors were hesitant because I was under 40. What I really admire about Dr. McGee is his straightforward yet compassionate honesty. He was clear that he couldn’t magically cure my chronic pain, but he could help me deal with the compensatory issues I was having because of my limp, poor sleep, and sedentary lifestyle that the chronic pain was causing. I completely understood and agreed with everything he said — it was the reason why I was there! I had weekly and bi-weekly appointments until my surgery. While he couldn’t fix everything, he made sure I could still maintain a normal lifestyle and helped balance my body amidst the chronic pain. What was even more important was that he truly acted as a life coach, helping me stay positive and realistic about my journey. It felt more like a therapy session some weeks than just a chiropractic adjustment. After my surgery, we reduced the appointments to once a month, and he’s been incredibly helpful in getting me back on track and rebalancing my body as it adjusts to a life without pain. IN SUMMARY: Dr. McGee is honest, doesn’t book unnecessary appointments, and has an empathetic and realistic approach to care. PS: Right when all of this was happening I ended up adopting a border collie pup. Between her inability to eat food, separation anxiety and general neurosis as she was settling in I couldn’t leave her home alone — not a problem usually because I am usually right there on the farm with her! But it meant I had to bring her in the car for appointments. Dr. McGee not only welcomed her into the clinic but insisted I bring her along. A year later she’s doing great and while I don’t HAVE to bring her, I often do as the clinic is near the dog park and en route to a lot of my errands. It is one of Pippa’s “happy places” and Dr. McGee is one of her favorite people. You can tell a lot about a human by how a neurotic border collie responds to them! She gives him a 5-star review too!

I’ve been to several chiropractors over the years in other states where I previously lived, and I recently decided it was time to find one here. I had a shoulder that had “slipped” out of place, which was very painful, and I knew from past experience that a chiropractor could adjust it back into alignment. I called and spoke with Dr. McGee, explained my situation, and he was very accommodating—he got me in right away. He resolved the issue and was very thorough, taking the time to talk with me about my history with doctors and the various conditions that led me to seek chiropractic care (car accidents, a motorcycle accident, and flat feet). He also suggested strengthening exercises and followed up with me on how I was feeling at my next visit. I’m relieved to have a great chiropractor back in my routine to help keep my back, hips, shoulders, and neck in line.

Since becoming a patient at Sea Change Family Chiropractic almost three years ago, I have experienced exceptionally positive, informative, and supportive care. Dr. Ammitai works carefully and listens closely, offering feedback, thoughts, and suggestions that help me make small but impactful lifestyle changes. The office staff are extremely helpful and flexible, and were understanding when I needed to make changes to my appointments at the last minute. I enjoy attending my visits and learning about how to improve my condition, and would recommend Sea Change to anyone who is seeking thoughtful and personalized chiropractic care!

The care that my family and I have received at Sea Change has been outstanding! Not only has our health improved dramatically, but we are always given warm, personal attention from Dr. Ammitai and his wonderful staff. He has helped me heal from some long-standing back issues that I thought would never heal enough for me to do all the things I love to do. In addition, Dr. Ammitai is very active in our community in promoting healthy living, literacy and education, and has even traveled to New Orleans to deliver free chiropractic care to survivors of Hurricane Katrina! There are many reasons to love Sea Change, and I can't recommend it highly enough to anyone looking to make improvements in their health.
