1. I first met Dr. Jared Leon two weeks after my third major abdominal surgery. My past recoveries had been very difficult and it was suggested that I see Dr. Leon to help my recovery. I was hesitant at first especially since there was no way I could lie on my stomach to be adjusted. I did however meet with Dr. Leon and he was able to adjust me on one of his special tables. He focused not only on my back pain, which resulted mostly from having to sleep in a chair for 8 weeks, but also worked to stimulate my neurological system. He focused on the right side of my brain as I exhibited left-sided body weakness.
In addition to starting a program whereby I had treatments three times a week, Dr. Leon also got me started on The Dream Protein, Greens First and Red Alert drinks to help my body recover from trauma and to boost my immune system. As I am not or never have been a lover of vegetables, the Greens First drink is especially helpful for me. These drinks are amazing and I still take them everyday. In fact, if I miss a day, I certainly notice the difference. I have since recommended this drink to all of family and friends for overall health.
Dr. Leon also helped me get on a Metagenics vitamin program which I continue to benefit from everyday. It is often difficult to take 15-20 pills twice a day but I cannot express how much better I feel when taking them.
I write this testimonial to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Leon and in the hopes that more people can benefit from Dr. Leon’s treatment, especially those patients who have just undergone any type of surgery.
As I was only on Long Island to be home with family during my recovery, I have since returned to Boston where I live. I have searched for a new chiropractor in Boston and have found that there is no one to compare to Dr. Leon. He is by far the most knowledgeable and most effective chiropractor I have worked with. I was visiting family on a recent holiday weekend and was able to see Dr. Leon for a treatment. I felt wonderful afterwards and will look forward to seeing him whenever I am in the area.

After a hysterectomy in 1993, I was put on Premarin 0.625 mg, which is prescribed for the treatment of menopausal symptoms. In 2004, I was put on a lower dosage, Premarin 0.3 mg, after which I started getting hot flashes. I have an arrhythmia and take Verapamil 120 mg twice a day to control it. I suddenly had two episodes with the arrhythmia. In March 2005, I stopped taking the Premarin on my own. My cardiologist took tests and reassured me that the Verapamil was doing its job, and that something else must be going on. Then I saw my gynecologist and told him that I took myself off the Premarin. His reply was that I could have a heart attack, stroke or blood clots within 6 months. I asked if I should go back on the medication and he said that since I had gone off it, he would see me in a year. Needless to say I was a wreck. The hot flashes came back stronger plus I became very anxious. I could not eat and lost weight. I then saw my regular doctor and he was shocked to see how bad I was; a 75 year old woman with all the systems of a 50 year woman going through the changes. He prescribed Lexapro for depression and put me back on Premarin 0.3 mg, and also told me to take Xanax when I was anxious. After taking one of each, I ended up in the Emergency Room – my feet and hands were feeling numb. After checking me out, they sent me home with a prescription to take Xanax twice a day and a recommendation to see a psychiatrist. That’s when my daughter, Leslie Rossi, called Dr. Leon. He was my life saver. He assured me within 3 weeks that he’d be able to help me. Right away I started feeling better. I stopped taking the Xanax and Lexapro and started taking Cenitol, FolaPro and Protrypsin plus Estro Factors. He also showed me how to breathe properly when I felt anxiety. The nervous stomach stopped and I was able to eat. He also gave me books to read which taught me how to deal with my insecurities and fears. In addition to all that – he told me about proper diet – make sure to eat lots of protein, veggies, fruits and drink plent of water! Dr. Leon’s encouragement and enthusiasm is infections!! All the adjustments he did for me! Without Dr. Leon’s help and advice, I don’t know where I would be today. He is the best chiropractor with a big heart!! I was and still am so grateful how caring he was to me and still is. He’s the best!

6. Patient Letter
The other day when I had to run to the chiropractor to get my back adjusted, I ran a red light, raced through the pouring rain, without even blinking an eyelash, and left both of my children with their father, just to get an adjustment. Dr. Jared must be a miracle worker or else I am totally addicted to adjustments.( Or perhaps it’s both!)
Once I got there, I had to wait. I thought that I was at the movie theatre with all of the people sitting there. The only thing that I was missing was some hot buttered popcorn and a medium soda. Boy, this doctor must be a magician!
The funny part about the entire experience was that the patients appeared excited to visit their doctor. And plus the conversations that took place in the office were quite entertaining as well. The man next to me was talking about his next life, and the squirrel soup that his neighbor made. I learned a few things about the man and his likes and dislikes. Then, I overheard him mention some facts about a dog that must not be very bright. Remind me not to get one of those, please.
I knew that Dr. Jared had some colorful patients. But this was shocking. Even though I tried to remain engrossed in the parents magazine, this conversation was quite illuminating. Then the sound of the doctor’s voice startled me. But I jumped out of my seat eagerly. He always asks are you ready? I was more than ready today. I’ve come through rain, traffic lights, and even listened to odd stories about squirrel soup. Yes, here I am doctor Jared.
I got up eagerly and raced over to the office. The table that I lay upon was calling my name. And the smile that always greeted me was there too. It sounds strange, but coming to the doctor is actually something that I look forward to these days.
I know that I am in good hands and totally trust Dr. Jared. He is very knowledgeable. And sometimes I have to wonder what he is thinking, as his patients flip upside down with their faces looking down at his floor.
Today my back is having a spasm. That is the word that the doctor uses to describe this problem. A spasm. Okay, but what exactly does that mean? Well, I had to ask. Then the doctor proceeded to describe the problem by using twenty letter words. Okay, now I learned why he just calls it a spasm.
We always talk about something odd while I am lying there like a noodle. Yes a noodle. This time it was my other half, and his deteriorating body. Well, was I glad that I was me for a change. Whoever knew that an adjustment had such an effect upon one’s mental health. Okay, the session was coming to an end and we had a good chat. I was going to be lowered onto the floor to feel the new me. I was ready. I landed on my two feet and stood up. Nice. The back felt some relief and I was ready to go on with my day. But there was one last thing that I had to do. Dr. Jared had to have a hug. He has got to be the best doctor that I have ever met.
And as I floated out of the office to face the rain, the traffic lights, and once again my day, I was thinking that going out in any kind of weather would be well worth it. Have you ever met Dr. Jared. If you haven’t , what are you waiting for? Get adjusted!
