How do we end up seeing the entire family? First, new patients want to share how
great they feel with their family. Second, family will see how great our patients feel and
want to try it for themselves. When a husband sees that his wife, who’s nine months
pregnant, is now free of low back pain, he realizes that Dr. Gerken can probably help
with his aches and pains from weekend sports. Third, parents will see the benefits to
their children and want to maximize their child’s development while actively working
towards their own health. And although many parents will ask us to adjust their child’s
“cranky bone” we have yet to find one. We just think it’s hard for kids to behave when
they are in pain or discomfort.
How can I afford the entire family? We offer a variety of family plans and payment options so care is affordable and easy. It’s always more affordable to be under continual care then just coming in when things flare-up which requires a new exam each time. This is why our “pay in advance” plans are so popular. Although you are welcome to pay as you go with each visit, most patients choose to save time and money with “pay in advance” plans.
Why do people travel so far to see Dr. Gerken? Dr. Gerken has a 360 hour diplomat in pediatrics, is a certified CranioSacral therapist and has completed numerous other courses in nutrition, prenatal and postnatal care. In addition, Dr. Gerken is trained in numerous adjustive techniques for patients of all ages, from newborn to elderly. This makes him the perfect choice for families. Dr. Gerken focuses on each patient as a person and what are his or her individual needs. Consequently, he might use a different adjustive technique for each member of the family.
