I woke up this morning thinking, I wish I could see Dr. Reuter. There is only one problem. I am in New Hampshire and haven’t been treated by Dr. Reuter since 1994. (I returned to NH in 1992 after having been in Atlanta for many years. I actually made a visit with him one of my “must dos” when I was in Atlanta for a visit in ’94). Since getting a treatment from Dr. Larry isn’t about to happen anytime soon … I thought … I still want folks to know that he is one of the finest chiropractic practitioners there is … anywhere. FYI, This is also my very first and only Yelp review.A bit of history. I first met Dr. Reuter after having been involved in an auto accident in Atlanta in 1983. He treated me throughout my course of recovery from it and continued to be my primary “ace in the hole” provider for the next ten years. He fixed me when I was hurting and kept me well when I wasn’t. It wasn’t like I was a regular after the crisis was over, but Dr. Larry was always ready and waiting with open arms when I would stumble out of the car and in the door with no appointment. Dr. Reuter’s chiropractic style is best described as cutting edge (in his use of complementary modalities and therapies), gentle, compassionate, and, most importantly, confident. To this day, having encountered chiropractors who have “half-adjusted” me (and if you’ve had it happen to you, you know what I mean) and I do have a wonderful osteopath who has kept me out of surgery numerous times, there are times when I just want a “good, confident, get the job done, yet gentle” adjustment. (Importantly, he never forces an adjustment …. never adjusts until the muscles have been relaxed to the point where the adjustment will hold.) And for that – there is still no better in my book than Dr. Reuter.There are practitioners and then there are those who have been blessed with the gift of healing. Dr. Reuter fits in the latter category. I actually called him a few years back to try and get him to describe his method or see if he knew of someone up here in the north to whom I could go. He did describe his anterior adjustment method. I’m still looking. And when I’m in terrible discomfort (thanks to some more traumatic injuries and just plain old age), I still think, “Dr. Reuter.” Just as I did this a.m.I also give this review as someone who is now into her 50s and had her first chiropractic adjustment at 5 years of age and who was also, at one time, a member of the traditional healthcare delivery system (the US Public Health Service). If you live in the Atlanta area, you are indeed fortunate to have the opportunity to benefit from Dr. Reuter’s chiropractic skills. To anyone looking for the best in chiropractic care, to my mind, Dr. Larry Reuter is at the top of the list.Thanks Dr. Larry – if I could get there today, I would.
