After using up all my automobile Insurance/PIP med pay $10,000 plus they just told me I was done when I was still having severe symptoms from the car accident I was in and just like that told me today would be my last day. When I started talking to the other patients that where also being treated in the clinic they all told me the same thing. The routine is the same, they get you coming every day for the first week or two, you see their medical doctors that rotate through their offices as well as a chiropractors. When you see the MD's they try to push injections and other diagnostic testing. They refer you to their own MRI facility (from what I understand is Illegal). Give you lumbar support belts but don't tell you they charge $2482 (for a belt/can you believe this) to the Insurance company's. I'm not saying all the doctors where terrible but most were there to maximize the billing end of the business and use up the money and than just tossed me aside.
From what I understand doing some research STATEFARM just sued them for a couple of millions dollars in regards to not paying them cause they stated the billing was all fraud.

Gary Brown, et al., No. 16-80793, S.D. Fla., 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 57019).
(Order available. Document #20-170428-026R).
