Why Choose Shery Fong, DC

Choosing Dr. Fong means working with a practitioner who understands that weight loss is rarely just about food and exercise. Her unique combination of chiropractic and nutritional expertise allows her to identify and address hidden barriers to weight loss that other providers might miss. She takes time to understand your complete health picture rather than focusing solely on calorie counting.

Patients consistently report not just weight loss but improved energy, better sleep, reduced pain, and enhanced overall well-being. Her holistic approach means you're investing in comprehensive health improvement, not just a number on the scale. Dr. Fong's gentle, patient-centered approach creates a supportive environment where you feel heard and understood. Her extensive experience with complex cases means she's equipped to help even when other approaches have failed.

Insurance & Pricing

Many insurance plans cover chiropractic services, and Dr. Fong's office will verify your benefits for covered treatments. Nutritional counseling may be covered under certain plans, particularly when medically necessary for diagnosed conditions. She accepts various insurance providers and can provide documentation for flexible spending accounts (FSA) and health savings accounts (HSA).

For services not covered by insurance, Dr. Fong offers transparent pricing and payment plans to make care accessible.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come prepared to discuss your complete health history, including any injuries, chronic pain, digestive issues, and previous weight loss attempts. Dr. Fong needs to understand your full picture to develop the most effective treatment plan. Be honest about your pain levels, energy patterns, and any foods that seem to affect how you feel.

Expect your first visit to be thorough, involving both physical examination and detailed nutritional discussion. Initial improvements in energy and pain levels often occur before significant weight loss begins. Be patient with the process, as addressing underlying issues may take time but leads to more sustainable results. Follow through with both chiropractic treatments and nutritional recommendations for best outcomes. Most importantly, communicate about any concerns or changes you experience during treatment.
