Real, verified reviews from patients across the Lehigh Valley.
"When I started coming here I was in so much pain I could barely lift my arms. Dr. Alan was so nice, very informative, and explained everything he was doing. I am now pain free from my fibromyalgia flare ups and my sciatica is so much better. I would recommend this office to everyone. I trust him fully with my care."
"I was always skeptical of seeing a chiropractor, but not anymore. I had lower back, hip and knee issues when I started. After a few months of care my back and hip issues are gone and my knee is significantly better. I can even go for runs again, which I haven't been able to do in years without pain. Thank you Dr. Alan!"
"Dr. Petrilak is one of the best chiropractors I've been to. He explains what he is doing and is very intelligent. My headaches have completely gone away since going to him. He works with you and truly wants to see your symptoms improve. I highly recommend him."
"After seeing Dr. Alan for my neck, back, and arm pain from a pinched nerve, I was doubtful the treatments were working. Slow but sure the improvements outpaced the relapses, and now after 8 weeks I am ready to go on maintenance, pain free."
"Amazing results. Dr. Petrilak is knowledgeable and takes the time to explain the process. He is exceptionally compassionate. I appreciate that I had the chance to heal without surgery. I'm so grateful for the excellent care I received."
"I have been coming to Dr. Allan Petrilak since he took over Cedar Crest Chiropractic. He has done an amazing job with my hip and back problems. I'm almost at 100% in just a few months. I am very happy with him and have recommended him to my family and friends."
