I came accross Verve from collegues of mine at the Mesa Police dept. I had heard about this ""Dr. Dave"", Dr. Warkentin from other officers and fire fighters for over a year now. I had been getting progressively worse low back pain for the past 4-6 months. I gave up and went into this clinic....if you can call it that. More like a five star hotel. Dr's Warkentin and Williamson gave me a thorough exam and x-rays. After the exam while one of the assistants was developping the x-rays, Dr. Warkentin came in to talk about varrious things and had mentioned that he had actually ridden with the police dept. in the past. He put me at ease and has incredible bedside manner. He then asked if I wore a gun belt as oppose to the vest. I was surprised to say the least that he knew what we wore on shift. Anyhow, I said the belt. The look on his face said it all. Sitting in a patrol car with this on my back for several years definately has caused some problems. The x-rays came back and confirmed what he had thought. My right hip was almost an inch higher than my left putting pressure on the nerves in that area. It has now been 2 months and a few visits along with massage therapy from one of his therapists. I switched to the vest and feel better today than before I was an officer. Thanks Doc. PS. The staff here are fantastic and always very friendly, and I rarely wait more than 5 minutes in the reception, and if I do, there is a starbucks coffee and hot chocolate machine, magazines and flat screen TV's. Again, like the ""ritz""
