Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

HORRIBLE MAN. Dishonest
Wants all women to remove clothes underneath, he is a perve and I know he has had his license pulled at least once

Dr. DeFranco took care of my bad back and leg pain. I had gotten to the point I needed help just getting out of bed. He took the time to listen to me, examined my back and got me out of pain and back at golf course in a short period of time. Up front and professional and would certainly recommend.

Helped me tremendously with my low back problem. I walked in so slow and awkward the need a wheel chair to get to his office. He was able to get me out of pain in a short period of time to where I am back to riding bikes again. Just don't tell the doc!

Was in a bad auto collision whereby I injured my low back. Medication given at the ER just was not helping and back seem to get worse as the days went on. I finally decided to called Dr. DeFranco's office. His staff got me in to see him the day I called. Without missing any work and over a couple of visits he got me out of pain. Certainly got me back to my normal self.

Dr. DeFranco got me out of bad low back and leg pain. None of the doctors medication was working and I had to use a crutch to walk. I thought I was going to be crippled or have to get back surgery. He worked really good with my medical doctor and got me out of pain and back to work in a short time. His staff is sweet as sugar.

Hueytown Chiropractic is a wonderful place for your chiropractic needs. I went to Dr. DeFranco, who is a very knowledgeable doctor when I needed adjustments done and have a problem with my neck pain and stiffness. He has always been attentive to my issues. His staff are always professional and pleasant. I do recommend them highly.

I was very impressed with Dr. DeFranco new laser machine…its like a magic wand. Very impressive!! It help to immediately reduce the pain in my bad right baseball elbow. It’s the best my elbow has felt in years. He seems to know his profession really good and is always gentle and kind. I have seen him on and off for over 10 year and he has always helped me .

I injured my back on the job years ago. Workers compensation doctors just sent me back to work in pain only to get fired. Thirteen years of back pain was wearing me down. I was getting stomach ulcers from the pills. I didn’t want surgery because no one could promise me it would reduce my pain. Honestly, I was afraid and didn’t know what to do. Finally my wife made me an appointment to see Dr. DeFranco. After talking to me and checking my back out he made no promises other than he would do his be

I have been to other chiropractors in the past and no one compares to Dr. DeFranco. His office is up to date and professional. When I have managed to injure my back, he takes the time to find my problem first before starting treatment. He is not just a back cracker. I like the fact he is through in his approach to my specific problem.

Injured my hip playing soft ball. Got really stiff and back started to burn all the time. Medication was not helping so at the recommendation of family members, I went to Dr. DeFranco’s office. Very nice doctor and clinic. I was out of pain in less than a week. I’m a happy camper.

Excellent service! My family and I have been going to Dr. DeFranco since he started the practice 30 years ago. He's always very accommodating, and he always takes care of my needs. I always feel a thousand times better after I've gone there. He's very knowledgeable, and always gets my neck and back kinks out. I call him the “back whisper”.

I have been suffering with daily headaches for the past 8 years that started every morning in the back of my head. I had all kinds of tests including CAT scans, diabetes and eyes exams. Went to a headache neurologist but none of the medication helped. Went to see Dr. DeFranco at the request of my niece. He seem to focus on my upper neck. After three weeks of treatments I was out of pain and have been headache free for five months. I feel like a new woman and I am very appreciative.
