I’ve done 3 treatments with Dr.Hess and my back has improved significantly! He’s very kind and welcoming and his hands are like magic I always have the best night sleep after my adjustments! I look forward to booking more appointments with him! Also the office is very cozy and staff is friendly!

Great experience from the time you walk through the front door until you walk out. Dr. Hess is extremely knowledgeable, he listens to you and treats you from head to toe. My adjustments are always spot on for what I need. Dr. Hess goes above and beyond just doing an adjustment he will offer advice if you ask for it. His office is a calm space with positive energy.

He is a great Dr. I have seen many chiropractors for lower back pain and upper neck pain. I couldn't stand straight after sitting for 10 to 20 steps after sitting anywhere. It has been years of this pain. I have been to many Chiropractors over the years. Some would give me temporary relief. He has seen me for a few years. I was very tight. Many chiropropractors could not get me to move at all. I got some relief right away. He did fix my lower back . I ve no pain at this time. It has been a few months. I didn't see him as often as I should but I never thought I would get total relief. Now my neck doesn't hurt either. I guess when you get the bottom fixed the top falls in place. Even if you tried other Dr's I would give this one a try for sure.

I have been to many chiropractors in the last 40 years with a somewhat problematic lower back issue. I have been seeing Dr Hess at least the last five or six years, there is no question he is the best ever. My lower back, knees, hips, all are better now than they have been in years.

This man is literally amazing.

As COO of the largest private psychiatric hospital in Maryland I was also responsible for managing several outpatient offices. Dr. Hess office and his staff are competent, courteous, and caring professionals. Dr. Hess has created an environment which is welcoming and his staff are extremely well trained.( Due to my experience as a hospital administrator this is rare rather than the norm ). The front desk staff, Moncerrat Precido and Emma Rosselle, are always kind and accommodating. Dr. Hess skills are exceptional, and just as important is his willingness to listen , sense of humor and the compassion he demonstrates for his patients and their families . My case has been complicated and Dr. Hess is doing everything he can to resolve the issue. I highly recommend Dr. Hess !

I met Dr. Hess at Elite Fitness when he had his office there in 2013-2014. He was, hands down, the best DC I'd ever been to. I have since moved back to my home state of Wisconsin and haven't had the pleasure of visiting his practice in at least 6 years, but I'll tell you what- I still talk about this guy. Any time chiropractic comes up I go on about, "the best (expletive) chiropractor I've ever seen." I had an adjustment with a new doc today and it reminded me of how helpful Dr. Hess was. Since it doesn't do any good to brag about him to people who live 1,200 miles away, I thought I'd drop by and leave a review. Dr. Hess, you made a lasting impact on my health. I could never thank you enough, and hope you are well my friend. I met Dr. Hess at Elite Fitness when he had his office there in 2013-2014. He was, hands down, the best DC I'd ever been to.

More interested in billing claims than actual patient care

I really enjoyed working with Dr. Scienski. He was friendly and helped with my issues in just one session. However, the receptionist is so incredibly rude and dismissive, I will be finding a new chiropractor. She over-charged my copay and I know it’s going to be a nightmare trying to get that money back even though the insurance company is backing me up. There were also two people in the office not wearing masks. I work at a hospital and it’s wild right now that a medical practice isn’t enforcing masks. I really enjoyed working with Dr. Scienski.

One of a kind, Vero Beach is better (and healthier) as a result ????

Amazing team they helped me avoid surgery and get my back feeling better

Scienski and Hess the best. #!#% the rest For someone to give them a 1 star rating has to be a idiot

I’ve been going to Indian River Health center for about 2 months now and feel great! I went to my appointment yesterday and part of my treatment is the decompression chair. The room lighting is always so brightly lit. But, they changed the lighting in the room and it was so much better. Good move with the lighting. Thanks!

Indian River Health Center and Dr. Scienski specifically has been able to help me with a pulled muscle in my back to alleviate the pain. First visit ever to a chiropractor after over 60 on earth. I was originally skeptical (ignorant) but willing under the circumstances. Within one week (3 visits) I am pain free and moving almost as freely as prior to the muscle issue. Friendly and professional staff - bar none. No fuss, no hassle just great service and great results.

In 2018 I was sent to Physical Therapy for Sciatica on my right side. After 3 months in NY (I live upstate NY) I came to Vero Beach (snow bird) and went to 3 more months of therapy. I still had severe pain so... I went to see Dr Hess, within 3 weeks my pain was gone.. Yes gone! For 2 years no problem. In 2021 Sciatica was back, I couldn't even walk, pain level 10.. Luckily I was in VB so I called Dr Hess, I we able to see Dr Scienski .... with in a few weeks I was pain free again.. I Found both excellent, Dr Hess is Ruff and Tuff (in a very good way)..

I was a patient of Dr. Hess several years ago, and was extremely impressed with his professionalism and especially the positive results I received from his chiropractic talents. Recently, I decided I needed some chiropractic work and made an appointment with Indian River Health Center at their new location. When I arrived at my appointment, I was surprised (and a little disappointed) that I was going to be worked on by Dr. Scienski, Dr. Hess's partner. Well, my disappointment quickly turned to gratefulness after Dr. Scienski only worked on me for a few minutes. Besides being a very friendly and personable man, he is an amazing chiropractor! I have suffered from very painful foot and heel pain for many years and 2 podiatrists did very little to help. Dr. Scienski has relieved this debilitating foot pain by 75% in only a few visits. I have now visited IRHC four times and seen both Dr. Hess and Dr. Scienski. I have felt wonderfully positive results in both my foot issues and lower back problems. They are both EXCELLENT chiropractors and I feel blessed to be the recipient of their healing hands. I also want to mention that the office and exam/work rooms are VERY clean and calming. Lastly, I want to praise the office staff...they could not be nicer, friendlier or professional. In other words, you could not find two better chiropractors on the Treasure Coast. I would highly recommend this practice to all of my friends and family. Thanks docs!!!

I have a significant amount of shoulder, back, and neck pain due to my profession, and this is my first experience with a chiropractor. Dr. Scienski is phenomenal! Not only did he address all of my concerns, but he takes time to explain what he is doing, and more importantly, why. He also educates me every visit on how to improve my habits and posture to prevent further damage. He is very intentional in his adjustments and I feel so much relief after an appointment.

Dr. Hess is amazing. Just when you think you had been to the best chiropractor in your life.....and then you go to Dr. Hess. By far the best adjustment I have ever had. In the past with prior chiropractors, I would go get an adjustment and typically my adjustment doesn’t last. Seriously, I have been to other offices and my back is out before I have even left the parking lot. Dr. Hess manipulates your muscles for this exact reason. I am someone who needed 2-3 adjustments a week. When Dr. Hess fixes my back/neck I can go 2-3 months now in between adjustments. Dr. Hess truly cares about your well being not just a simple fix for a subluxation that is surely to pop back out in no time. If you want to feel good, want longevity from and adjustment, or frankly want to sneeze and cough without fear of your back going out.....Go see Dr. Hess! Staff is welcoming and courteous too!

I have been to both DR Hess and DR Scienski for treatment over the last 3 years. They are both excellent Chiropractors. I have chronic lower back pain and have always been able to get relief by going to IR Health Center. The office staff is very pleasant and helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this chiropractic office !!

Very helpful, very professional. 5 stars.

Great atmosphere, caring and knowledgeable staff, updated technology.

I was able to sleep, and the 3rd day my body didn't hurt as bad.

Dr. Hess is great, welcoming, & knows what he's talking about. A+

Dr. Hess is always very professional and takes the time to address his patients problems in detail.

Wonderful! Very down to earth and knowledgeable! Looking forward to working through these headaches and back pain with dr. Hess’ help!

These guys are the best in town. Dr. Hess is awesome. He was able to stop my pain when others could not. I highly recommend.

I had terrible left hip and lower back issues also on the left side and right shoulder pain was bothering me for past 8 months with upper back pain I saw Dr. Hess and felt much better in 3 visits.

Doctor and staff are very personable. They make you feel comfortable. The doctor is very knowledgeable and explains everything. Treatment technique is varied and effective. A definite go recommendation.

When every other chiropractor couldn’t get it right he did within three visits I felt so much better end not to mention he has a massage therapist in his practice as well and they work hand-in-hand and they are very affordable I highly recommend this practice

I had a great experience at this office. The staff is friendly and super accommodating. No pushy sales people! Most important, my back is SO much better after three treatments. I’m going to make it a regular part of my routine!

I've only had 1 appointment so far, but Dr. Hess had great bedside manner, very informative, makes you feel at ease, very professional. I felt like I was in safe hands and 10 times better just being informed. Thanks man, I'm sore with a whole bunch of bad bad words to say but I can't wait to go back!

When I came to Dr. Hess I could no longer even take walks. After being active and working out my entire life I had back injuries and surgeries that ended up causing so much pain. Dr. Hess is the most knowledgeable Chiropracter I have ever met. Because of him in a short time I am now swimming laps for 30 minutes a day. I never dreamed this day would come and I can’t tell you how grateful I am to Dr. Hess and his staff. They are the kindest people I’ve ever met and they love what they do.

This was my best Chiropractor experience. It was easy to schedule an appointment and understand the cost. Dr. Hess spent time to understand my pain and to uncover areas I did not realize were affecting me. The adjustment process involved a head to toe work up that left me both cringing and laughing but all for the greater good. He didn't hold back or make me feel like I would need to see him over and over again. He just got the job done to make me feel better in our session. I am sure he knows that I will be back.

Awesome Adjustment. Great staff. Dr. Hess really knows his profession and is so much more than a chiropractor. Would recommend him to anyone.

Ryan is the best he goes out of his way to get you in .

Total Chiropractic care. Professional, knowledgeable and excellent customer service.

Dr. Hess is an amazing chiropractor he treated both me and my daughter.. he is amazing we will definitely use him again in the future when needed.

Dr. Hess been very accommodating and sympathetic. So far I show marked improvement in motion of my arm and neck. He takes time to explain medical conditions to me so I fully understand. I am glad his practice is here in Vero Beach and close to my home.

Though I have not visited this office, I was a patient of Dr. Hess' for a long time at another practice and must say that he helped every issue I was having during that time. With chronic pain for years, and having been a chiropractic patient of several other DCs, I was so amazed by the technique of Dr. Hess and his ability to adjust in places that never had before, to make the pain go away!

Dr. Hess is the best chiropractor I have been to! He really has been making great progress on many back, hips and neck! His help has greatly decreased my pain and discomfort levels. I highly recommend him.

I just had my first appointment with Dr. Ryan. First the office is very clean and modern. The ambiance is very calm. They have some music playing. Nothing with a ton of bass just fun songs. Dr. Ryan focuses on all aspects of your health. He discusses what other aspects of your life and how it can affect your overall health and chiropractic care. I appreciated the good conversation about his motorcycle and all his adventures. He was incredibly knowledgeable and understanding. I made a weird face during the manual adjustment and we had a good laugh on how I'm expecting something painful when in fact he's very gentle. I can't wait for my next visit!

Most unprofessional office I have ever had to deal with. Either they do not know how to bill insurance or they are running a scam. I was over charged per their contracted allowed amount. They billed my insurance for services I didn't receive. I had to demand a receipt after 5 visits and was told it would be mailed and it never was. I took my EOB's to the office and was given the runaround. I was told they would refund the over payment, I was given a reciept and told it would be mailed. When I said I would wait they came up with some theory that I owed them. My insurance is now sending them letters and I am contacting my Lawyers. Luckily I have legal insurance.

This office is the least professional Chiropractic office that I have ever attended. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY. They will prey on your ignorance. I have received Chiropractic care for years (and even worked for one), so I am quite familiar with the techniques, care, and pricing. Quite early into the experience, I knew that they were trying to sell me a load of malarkey. The reasons I recommend not using them are as follows: 1. The doctor's wife, Mindy, is the patient educator on staff. She is a school teacher by trade and has ZERO medical training. She actually made me read the IRC brochures aloud to her (like a student) to "educate' me about Chiropractic Care. She was well aware of my familiarity, so I'm still unclear what the purpose of this assignment was. I can only guess this is how the grooming process starts for a person who is new to Chiropractic, and will be taken advantage of here. In the two hours I wasted in this location, I did not see the doctor, and was not adjusted. That is unheard of in a legitimate office. This office has no respect for your time. 2. Instead of having the doctor perform an X-ray to look at my vertebral bones (or even perform a palpation), the patient educator took photos of me with her iPhone to then be analyzed by an app. Chiropractors do use these apps at health fairs, but not in office when an X-Ray machine is available. She also measured my left/right cervical turning radius and told me I was significantly restricted. This was the first time I have ever heard this in my entire life, despite seeing many doctors. Of course, my assessment should have been performed by Dr. Schiermyer. This office does not care about your peace of mind. 3. In my final 15 minutes in the office, the patient educator came to tell me the bad news. I was basically falling apart according to her husband (who was too busy to meet with me directly), and it was a miracle that I was not in chronic pain. The only way to get me properly aligned was if I came in 3 times a week for treatment for several months on end. The bill for all this service was $6000 and it would all need to be paid up front (she assured me that this makes it easier). I literally laughed in her face and told her that is NOT how Chiropractic care works. You co-pay until you hit your deductible, and then you do not pay anymore. I am lucky to have a great plan and would have paid hardly anything out of pocket, but this arrangement would have ripped my insurance company off. Places like this are the reason that health insurance is so expensive in our country. This office does not care about your finances, and in fact, will aggressively try to separate you from them. In conclusion, all I can say is find another Chiropractor. There are many other offices in Vero Beach that offer quality care. You will see that Indian River Chiropractic constantly runs deals and groupons to get you in the door, but that is all a ploy. I have consulted with other Chiropractors, it is likely that they are using a paid management service to augment their business. Use your common sense, and find an office worthy of your hard-earned money. P.S. I'm sure you are wondering how every other review for this business is 5 stars, which is an incredible feat for any business to accomplish (let alone this one). If you look closely at the names, you might just notice a Melinda Schiermyer. She is the doctor's wife and the on-site patient educator. Would a legitimate office have their employees perform their own Google reviews? I think not. There are also reviews by people with the same last names, who have only reviewed IRC in their account history. None of this surprises me; be very wary of these folks. I honestly wonder how they sleep at night. This office is the least professional Chiropractic office that I have ever attended. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY.

Best in town i have been going to mat over a year and feel much better

Couldn't ask for a better adjustment anywhere in the area. Ive been to a lot of chiropractors in IRC and this was by far the most effective adjustment I have ever had. Five stars from this guy.

The office has very experienced staff. The chiropractor is absolutely wonderful. He spends time to explain what is wrong. He has up to date technology and equipment. I would recommend them to anyone.
