Is my chiropractor a creep?

[Anonymous]

I need some outside help. My mom and girlfriends believe he is ; but I’d like strangers opinion’s before I make a decision.

I was mauled by a dog and my lawyer told me to get a consistent physical therapist/chiropractor. So I did. Found this good practice with two doctors. I preferred Dr. M instead of Dr. B so I decided to stay with Dr. M for my treatment.

I sometimes would see Dr. B who I wasn’t fond of because he would shout random questions at me such as , are you single, how many people are you dating, do you have a lot of money, I love that your toenails and nails are always polished, would you want to be a housewife, are you monogamous- and this just kept continuing so I made sure to stay with Dr. M and never gave to see Dr. B.

long story short I showed up for my appointment this weekend and my doctor was out sick so Dr. B was filling in. He told me I looked awful and that Dr. M wasn’t doing a great job, that my neck looked stiff and lopsided and proceeded to yank me down the table roughly and pulled my back. I left the office crying. I did a background check on him and he’s been trespassed from a property and has a gun. I also feel he was out of line. Thoughts? I obviously in the correct way have to bring this up to my doctor when I see him. This was absolutely awful.

His questions to you were highly inappropriate, and so was his criticism of the other doctor. Then to treat you roughly was over the top.

Having a gun isn't unusual. But what does trespassing from a property mean?

I doubt if reporting him to the police would do much good. But you should tell the other doctor. And find out from him or the front desk who you can report him to. Is the practice part of a corporation? Is there a state chiropractic board or association you could report him to.

It sounds like your chiropractor, Dr. B, was behaving in an unprofessional and inappropriate way. The comments he made were not appropriate for a patient/doctor interaction and were irrelevant to the purpose of your appointment. He also performed a rough and forceful maneuver on your body without your consent which is unacceptable.

I agree that it is important to bring this up with Dr. M as soon as possible to make sure it is documented. It may also be helpful to report Dr. B to the medical board or other relevant authority to ensure he faces the necessary consequences for his actions.

I wouldn't just mention it to your doctor, I'd fully report that guy

Agreed. I spent the last week thinking about my interaction and also the weekend because the crazy stuff happened on Friday. I can’t quite remember having any conversation with him that would result in these types of questions and behavior. I would totally understand if we were having a conversation inappropriate in nature. Because I don’t believe in blaming somebody. But I literally cannot figure out why he behaves in this manner and it really creeps me out. Thank you for answering.
