Catherine Del Valle - April 17, 2009Nine years ago, my husband and I were on vacation when one morning I woke up with vertigo. I almost spun myself out of bed, it was so severe.
When we got home, I went to my medical doctor. She thought I had something floating in my inner ear canal that was temporary and would go away soon. After a couple of weeks when it didn't get better, I went back. She then thought it was something more serious and sent me to an ear, nose and throat specialist, who gave me an MRI on my brain, looking for a tumor! No results.
It had been months, and the vertigo was debilitating: I couldn't drive; my doctors recommended that I not fly (travel is a requirement of my job); and I always felt a little nauseous. I think you know how I felt.
Well, I was desperate. One of my friends suggested the vertigo might be an issue with my neck and I should see a chiropractor for an adjustment. It's not what I wanted to do, I wasn't a fan of chiropractors and I didn't like the idea, but I was willing to try anything. Luckily, my husband knew Dr. Kevin Kroes.
I went in for an adjustment. Dr. Kroes was very nice, calm, and gentle and eased my fears. After my adjustment, my vertigo immediately was gone! I couldn't believe it! Gone!
Dr. Kroes has helped me by teaching me various stretches and exercises that have made my vertigo all but disappear. His practice also has massage therapy which has helped relieve my stress and tight muscles, which, when tight, adds to vertigo symptoms.
I hope you consider visiting Dr. Kroes and his staff to treat your vertigo. They changed my life.
Sincerely - Catherine Del Valle
Dr. Kevin Kroes has been my chiropractor for many years, and I always highly recommend him to family members, friends and associates. He is very knowledgeable and professional, tailors treatments to your individual needs and really cares about the well-being of his patients. He has helped me with my sometimes overwhelming physical problems, and I have been able to keep working full-time without the use of medication, which is nothing short of a miracle in my book. I heartily recommend Dr. Kroes and his entire staff!

I met Dr. Kroes 5 years ago with a complaint of bad headaches. After a couple of adjustments and the help of Debra's massages, my headaches went away. In addition to feeling so much better, I no longer depend on any kind of pain medication.
Thanks again, Dr. Kroes and Debra, for making me feel better! - Ann Ninh
Dr. Kroes is truly incredible. After consulting many doctors, but getting no relief, he was able to help me with my debilitating neck problem.
I was in a car accident some 20 years ago -- I was misdiagnosed and suffered for many years with neck problems resulting in severe migraine-like headaches. I've seen many doctors trying to find an answer to my problem, only to be prescribed medications that masked the symptoms, but solved nothing. I was finally introduced to Dr. Kroes in 1996. He took the time to correctly diagnose my problem and treated me to correct it. With periodic adjustments and exercises, I am able to live pain free. Thanks Dr. Kroes.

I am writing this letter to Dr. Kevin Kroes as testimonial to the benefits his chiropractic treatments have had for me. I suffer from degenerative disc disease at multiple levels in my low spine and neck. Since 2001, he has been my doctor of chiropractic treatment. Dr. Kroes was referred to me by one of my co workers, a law enforcement agent, who was also a patient. My neck was in so much pain I could not turn my head to look out the side of my car window and even though I had heard “stories” about chiropractors, my co worker urged me to make and appointment.
When I met Dr. Kroes, I had an immediate bond with him because of his kindness, uplifting attitude and his good looks. He is a family man who brings a family like environment to his practice. He quickly put me at ease telling that me that a lot of people are hesitant and feel as I do, and if they just want to talk then that is all he will do. But I went for it and he adjusted my neck. To my surprise I no longer had a stiff neck or headache. I could not believe I stayed away from chiropractic treatment due to old wives tales. I continued follow up treatments as needed.
As time went by, I encountered a work injury to my lumbar spine. Back injuries are extremely painful and I was thankful Dr. Kroes took me in without an appointment and through his manipulation he eased the painful muscle spasms and eventually got me back to work. I could not have accomplished this without him. His support to my health continued through another stressful illness I encountered as I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. As everyone knows stress can cause so many tight muscles and I sought treatment from him through out my ordeal. What I enjoy most about Dr. Kroes is that he is a friend to me as well as an outstanding human being and he and his office staff gave me so much encouragement that I will be forever grateful to them.
If that wasn’t enough, several months later I had have to have an emergency spine surgery, and as soon as I was healed enough, I was back in his office getting my upper body adjusted. I had so much confidence in his understanding of how to take care my back that I did not have any reservations getting my neck and shoulders adjusted even though I had had recent lumbar spine surgery.
Dr. Kroes is active in body building, a sport that I also love. So every time I throw something out he is always available to me understanding that it is a sport I can never give up and we often talk about how keeping physically active is absolutely necessary to support the muscles of the spine. So even though my “other” doctors would be having a fit if they saw me throwing around chunks of metal in the gym, I can always count on Dr. Kroes to give me the adjustments I need so I can go back for more training.
I can not say enough about the staff in Dr. Kroes Office. We are all on first name basis, know each other like good friends and I look forward to seeing them when I know I am going in for my appointment.
It is without hesitation I recommend him to my family members and friends and even people I just meet. If you haven’t met Dr. Kroes, you need to make an appointment. Even if you are afraid to get your first adjustment, just go talk to him as he always has a warm smile on his face and a sincere willingness to help you.
