Dr. Ernest L Squatrito, DO

I told him I had restrictions a the base of my skull where muscles were cut for surgery from a long time ago and that there was a palpable C1 rotation and I had considerable pain at the left base of my skull. In the initial visit he said he would examine the area ( C1 and C)but he did not, spending the entire visit adjusting my pelvis. He confidently said that I would not need to be seen for several weeks after his treatment. Pains at the base of my skull ( and headaches) did not improve at all and I clearly said so at e second visit. He started working on my feet and said that people heal form the ground up. again did not palpate or address the atlas(C1) in any way. One of his lower neck corrections was very rough and irritated the base of my skull. shortly after i left I began to feel worse . I decided to cancel all visits since he was not paying attention to my feedback and adjusting his treatments. Thought of telling him again that I had left cranial base pain but if he ignored me twice already why would a third time make any difference? Unfortunately I had to retire earlier than expected fallof 2018. Headaches and upper neck pain too severe to continue working at a computer. This doctor needs to show more flexibilitya nd reassessa patient if they are not responding as predicted, in my case I did not feel this was happening.
