    In 2006 i went to Russel Oneill a failed chiropractor that got me worse with snapping ribs, snapping hip joints, my pelvic was getting unaligned all the time my neck was hyper mobile.

    Dr Hauser told me about overadjustement syndrome, when idiot chiro think that adjusting a patient from year on end will fix is problem.

    Prolotherapy saved my life, yes it took a lot of time to correct what the other idiot ONeill did to me, but int he end it was worth it.

    Of course the price is expensive but my neck is now solid, my ribs do not snap anymore, my pelvic is also solid does not get out of alignment anymore. I also got PRP treatments.

    I like Dr. Ross Hauser and all his staff at Caring Medical. They are kind, compassionate and caring. I'd recommend them to everyone. We went there to diagnose and treat cervical neck instability. The knowledge they have in this field is spectacular.

    I saw Hauser several years ago. My life has never been the same since. As a direct result of his injections I suffered permanent, life-altering issues, including an autoimmune disorder.

    If I had to place a bet, I'd say my life expectancy is now cut in half from what it would have been had I not seen Hauser. I can say this because of the sheer amount of physical and emotional stress, pain, insomnia, loss of movement, hormone issues, etc that I have experienced from Hauser's injections.

    Every doctor/specialist I have been to since, when I describe the events that transpired both during (the injections themselves) and after Hauser's treatments, all say virtually the same thing: egregious medical malpractice.

    Every non-medical professional acquaintance I have showed Hauser's videos to, all say virtually the same thing: creepy vibes.

    I would question the validity of such positive reviews like the one just a couple reviews below mine. I can understand a detailed review, including opinions about Hauser's character, when a negative experience occurs, but such detail for a positive one... I do wonder if Hauser himself is writing them.

    After some Googling, it is apparent that Hauser has essentially crippled many other patients. And that review in question seems to be acting as a point-by-point rebuttal of many of the issues that several negative reviews are mentioning about Hauser's medical negligence and character (or lack thereof).

    My point in mentioning this is because I don't want people to be lured in by the deceptions of this man like I was. He is seriously hurting people and getting away with it.

    Unfortunately, I did not see the reviews prior to my visits, and was deceived by his videos providing solutions and cure where no other physician seemed to have answers.

    I recommend everyone look around at the reviews from injured patients before desperately going to see Hauser. It just might save your life.

    Please find another doctor. There is nothing to be gained here except wasting a lot of time and money.

    I have hEDS and my C1-C3 cervical instability case was extremely complicated. Post neuro decompression surgery, Dr. Hauser was the 23 doctor I came to. My next step was moving into a wheelchair with full head support. I spent the better part of two years in bed and it took 7 years to find some sense of normalcy again.

    I could not tolerate holding the weight of my own head. My life as I had know it was long gone and traditional medicine was killing me through the VAST pharmacological approach. I was maxed out on the recommended daily dose of gabapentin and Lyrica, (of which barely touched the nerve pain). I was also on a bp medication that was making my lips blue, anti-seizure meds, very expensive topical compound creams that were photo sensitive (I lived in FL at the time) plus, anti nausea meds, plus prescription anti-inflammatory +++ I was losing word recall and the medication was creating side effects no one had answers for. GI issues, heart palpitations, panic attacks, ringing in my hears, random one eye blindness, the list goes on, but you get the idea. Every traditional doctor was quick to pull the script pad, to throw their hat in the ring (so to speak) with no clue how this new concoction of chemicals were going to interact with what was already on board in conjunction with my physiology. It's sheer madness, but I tried again and again. I even had a world renowned neurologist order TRACTION on my severely unstable head. It made sense at the time, the traditional, static images of my MRI, CT and XRays all showed sever spasm and kyphotic cervical spine. So my husband and I agreed that I should try traction, of which I tried, two times, only to end each session in cyclical vomiting spells that provided compounding issues!

    Enter Dr. Hauser. He was the first and ONLY doctor to listen to my very frail delivery of complaints. He was my Hail-Mary, because I was done. I had ZERO fight left in me. I wanted to quit. He was patient, knowledgeable and compassionate. 1st order was a DMX. Digital Motion Xray. Low & behold, my C-curve was reversed and the instability illustrated at the skull-spine connection was enough to qualify me for a cervical fusion. Because of my EDS, I already knew, that wasn't an option for me. Through my own research, I learned about how nearly ALL professional athletes use PRP for rapid healing and injury turnaround, as well as how most orthopedic surgeons use it now at close of a surgery, I decided to do the same.

    I also understand why there is no insurance coverage for this medicine, and that is because there is NO PHARMACEUTICAL GAIN in this medicine. Meaning, big Pharma pay for their studies, that provide outcomes that favor their medicines regardless of the real findings. If you don't believe me, you have not done your homework.

    I started treatments with Dr. Hauser in January of 2015, they were expensive, very painful, as I cannot tolerate pain management, and in the beginning, they were very frequent. By year two, my treatments were quarterly and my gains were/are undeniable! I've had my entire C spine, both shoulders and my jaw treated. He has done EVERY cervical treatment of mine under fluoroscopy (x-ray guidance) and he even tried some ultrasound techniques, which I was open to try - (hydro-dissection -worked once, the second time it didn't) . Dr. Hauser has never pulled a fast one on me, I always knew what each treatment was going to cost before they started. They are expensive... but so were the 23 other doctors that said they could help, took both insurance reimbursement and out-of-pocket expenses with no benefit or in most cases, created worsening, adverse effects.

    Dr. Hauser is a believer in Jesus Christ. He does not cower in his beliefs regardless of his audience, obviously by this thread, it strikes a 'nerve'... see what I did there. ;)~ I sincerely believe he is heavily attacked primarily because of his faith.

    Bottom line for me is, he helped me when no one else could. I am FINALLY back to work after 7 years of suffering. It's not perfect, but I can hold my own head up, enjoy my family, sit unsupported and earn a paycheck! My last treatment was January of 2020, and I am due for some maintenance... which I am not looking forward to, but at least now, I know how to manage my condition.

    I would not be alive today if it wasn't for Dr. Hauser. He is bright in intelligence and in apparel, as yellow is his color of choice. Perhaps he's not everyone's cup of tea, but I will forever be thankful for him and his staff. They are a class act. Stating that I am BEYOND THANKFUL is an understatement.

    I'm waiting for Hauser's debut on a show like Dr. Death. In short, Hauser is a menace to society. The first rule of medicine: do no harm. Yet Hauser continually does harm to patients and does not seem to care. It's apparently money and/or delusions of grandeur over ethics with him.

    If you're going to see Hauser, it might be for the same reason I did: because no one else seems to have the answer to your problem(s) but Hauser. This should be your first red flag; when no one else in mainstream medicine (or anyone else for that matter) seems to have the ability to treat your issue...yet Hauser does.

    He advertises his prolotherapy injections as the treatment to seemingly hundreds of uniquely complex conditions (sports injuries, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, cervical instability, disc issues, back issues, dizziness, heart palpitation, etc, etc, etc). And every complex condition is treated in the same way: by injecting your body with prolotherapy solution(s). In other words, Hauser pitches prolotherapy as the magical elixir to every problem someone can have. Look at his website or YouTube to verify what I'm saying - prolotherapy, according to him, can treat virtually everything. Think about it...there is a reason why no other doctor or even other prolotherapists have the answer to your problems.

    He's like the medical quacks that pitch cancer curing treatments - oh wait, he actually used to claim that he could reverse cancer too, back when he ran his cancer curing clinic, which you won't find mention of nowadays.

    I've looked into the science behind prolotherapy that Hauser likes to invoke when luring in new patients. Most of it is done by him; most of it is single-subject studies; all of its conclusions could be chalked up as nothing more than placebo... and, all of prolotherapy, by way in which it "heals", isn't understood, and is therefore conjecture. As mentioned, Hauser's research is done by him, a physician and not a researcher (meaning without a team that will hold one accountable to protocol), with cherry-picked data. He then uses that "research" to make claims to facilitate his advertising about prolotherapy, to then sell it to patients -- can anyone say bias?

    Apart from myself there are many others that have suffered irreversible damage at his hands. Yet knowing this, Hauser continues along as if we do not exist. In fact, Hauser claims that he hasn't "experienced dangerous results" from his prolotherapy injections. Meanwhile, dozens of reviews of injured patients are on the internet. Heck, there is even a group of injured Hauser patients I've recently found (on this site) which are encouraging people to contact them. Meanwhile, you're led to believe the worst that could happen is something like a punctured lung from human error. Oh and did I forget mention that Hauser has been sued at least (which I could find) 7 (seven) times for medical malpractice?

    Hauser is no scientist or doctor. He is a dangerous charlatan that's hurting and experimenting on people. It would seem that all he cares about is money, his own ego, delusions of grandeur, and/or perhaps sociopathy, as no honest or ethical medical practitioner continues their operation after so many patients' health and lives have been destroyed without taking a step back to seriously re-evaluate things. By signing his disclaimer, you sign your rights away and Hauser can keep hurting people without recourse.

    I am someone who does not become irate easily and am often too forgiving...yet I would not piss on Hauser if he were on fire. Save yourself from this criminal and put any other doctor that you want to see in front of him. Due you due diligence and research him: you'll start to see what I'm saying is verifiable by other sources. You have been warned.

    I had one treatment here in May 2019 to my "slipping ribs." Went in for diagnostic imaging and nutritional support as possibly a treatment that is so agressive it almost killed me. Turned on inflammation to the max and turned on autoimmune disease in my body. Its been quite a journey helaing from prolotherapy and finding the real root cause of my chronic pain. Now I have severe PTSD and neurological damage from all the inflammation from 100 shots of dextrose being stabbed into my bilateral thoracic spine. I fought for my life after prolotherapy from this facility. They had no answers to help me but give more sugar. Then they release me as a paitient left in the dark and told no one had reached like you. I find them incompetent, unprofessional, uneducated, greedy, and never getting to your root cause. Marketing to the vulnerable and the people in chronic pain. GREAT MARKETING, BAD DOCTOR, PEOPLE.

    Biography

    I am a Board Certified Physiatrist (aka: Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Specialist). I completed my residency training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Loyola Medical Center in Chicago; obtained my MD from the University of Illinois, Chicago; and my Bachelor of Science undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I am most well-known for my expertise as a Prolotherapy doctor. Prolotherapy is the medical procedure that stimulates the body to repair painful, injured areas. I was blessed to have trained under the respected Prolotherapy doctor Gustav Hemwall, MD. He is considered the grandfather of Prolotherapy and I was truly blessed to be his apprentice at his office in Oak Park, Illinois (more on that below). Dr. Hemwall was trained by George Hackett, MD who developed and coined the term "Prolotherapy." My wonderful team and I run two state-of-the-art Prolotherapy and motion diagnostic buildings, Caring Medical Florida and the Hauser Neck Center, located in sunny Fort Myers, Florida. My practice at the neck center is currently focused on C1-C2 instability-related conditions and complicated neurological cases, as well as full-body and complex cases, such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
