Centeno-Schultz

If you like to pay hundreds of dollars now just to schedule to see a doctor several months from now, this is the place for you! Never heard of that from a “doctor”, ever. I was recommended to see this guy by Dr Scott Rosa, but the way the patient rep gives you the runaround and bait and switches appointment times after I was already scheduled, it’s a shameful practice from the get-go. I’d steer clear, it’s a money trap of alluring YouTube videos exploiting desperate patients who are suffering.

I reached out to Dr. Centeno after 10 years of suffering after a gnarly car accident. I worked with a physical therapist who strongly suspected CCI, but none of the doctors I went to (including with her paperwork, a letter etc) were interested in ruling it out. At the prime of my life i was getting days or weeks of intolerable pain, alarming neurological symptoms, and no relief. I was honestly really skeptical, but desperate, so I made an appointment with Dr. Centeno. I appreciated his explanations as he showed me on my imaging where his concerns lie, and the same was the case during our in person appointment. My fiance and I traveled here from out of state, and they let us rest in one of the spare rooms they had until my procedure. Their exam was thorough, and they looked at the functioning in my cranial nerves - something no neurologist had ever done (frustratingly). After my procedure I woke up for the first time in YEARS without occipital pain, and I have yet to get a flare up of my CCI (often worsened by many of the things we encountered in traveling there). They also injected a very hypermobile shoulder of mine which has long caused me problems and is no longer grinding/seems to be getting a bit more stable each day. The rest period has been challenging for me, but honestly i'm just thrilled to be feeling better. I was beginning to think that I'd have to live the rest of my life in a neck brace (the only thing that previously brought me relief), or in pain. So I am very grateful for what Dr. Centeno has done for me, and I will be back to the clinic in the future should similar problems arise. I wish it was a little cheaper as being a person with many complex medical issues, it was hard for me to dish out the money for posterior cervical PRP. However, it's been life changing for me so far and 100% worth every penny.

I just came in for my second CCJ procedure. I have an unstable upper cervical secondary to a concussion and whiplash injury. My life, for about a year, was miserable. I would get up in the morning and would feel headachy, have neck pain, and high very slight loss of balance. My C2 vertebra would always be out of alignment no matter how often I got it adjusted. I performed testing with Dr Scott Rosa in NY, a world famous chiropractor who both diagnoses and fixes Atlas (C1) misalignments. He identified my misalignment, but due to injuries to both my Alar and Transverse ligament that support the C1/Atlas, I kept going out of alignment. This is where Dr Christopher Centeno and Dr Shultz come into the picture. Getting in took a while between my work schedule and their patient schedule, but I met all the criteria and last July went in to have my CCJ (Cranio cervical junction). Using Stem cells obtained from my bone marrow, they performed this novel procedure and after the first month, I noticed my C2 vertebra (which goes out of alignment when the C1 doesn't hold position) was staying in alignment. I noticed my neck pain and headaches start to subside month by month. Dr Centeno created this procedure and just performed the second one on me yesterday. His staff, his knowledge, and his dedication to furthering innovative and highly effective modalities in helping patients like myself is something I am very grateful for. Further to that, Dr Centeno and ALL his staff have a passion for what they do -- I have entrusted my health with them because they have proven to me that their stuff "works".
