Dr. McCharen and Victoria - You make a great team and genuine loving enviornment for healing. When I first was referred to you I was barely able to get out of bed to go to the bathroom, driving was frightening and painful. I was thankful you were so close in Aptos ... and even more so in immense GRATITUDE for the gentle adjustments, the almost immediate result in pain relief and now the ongoing education about my body and how to honor it. YOU ROCK. I have had many healers from a variety of massage, accupuncture, chiropractic and Physical Therapist.... but with your help I avoided neck and back surgery. I am more than willing to be one of your evangelists!Dave Dias speaks
This evening Irene and I had the distinct pleasure of dinner with Dr. Buford and Victoria McCharen at Palapas Restaurant in Seascape. Buford and Victoria own a chiropractic practice, Aptos Core Care, and Dr. McCharen is my chiropractor. When he learned of Irene’s plight several months ago, he immediately recommended a course of action. Irene is now literally being treated by Dr. McCharen with “foot baths” every Tuesday and Thursday which are designed to remove toxins from her body. The foot baths are a great complement to the Monday, Wednesday and Friday dialysis treatments.
Not only is this act of love by the McCharen’s an expression of deep regard for the journey that Irene is traveling, but Victoria graciously visits with Irene each time she comes to the office. A wonderful, growing friendship is being forged and both of our hearts are deeply moved by the way that Buford and Victoria are reaching out and loving Irene. Irene is emotionally moved each time she has the foot bath because of the way that either Victoria or Buford tenderly and lovingly wipe her feet dry. It’s an overwhelming demonstration of love.Sally Vaughn, Sally’s Galley
Patient and Aptos resident Sally Vaughn says seeing Dr. McCharen regularly keeps her pain-free despite having suffered from chronic pain related to a disc problem in her cervical (upper) spine for years before visiting Dr. McCharens office. “He’s gentle, he’s thorough, and when you have pain he focuses on that, but he also focuses on the whole body’s response to it.” She states of her chiropractor of ten years. “When there is something that’s gone wrong, like I’ve slept wrong or carried something wrong, he gets me back on track really quickly.” Vaughn suffered a bad fall two years ago and credits Dr. McCharen’s use of laser therapy with getting her on the mend very quickly. “It helped my bruising and swelling; it was amazing how fast I healed.”
Julie Chapin, new mom
Rio Del Mar resident, Julie Chapin has been a patient of Dr. McCharen’s for over two years. She came to Aptos Core Care because of severe back pain.
She states, “Dr. McCharen brought me back from horrible back injuries where I wasn’t even able to stand up. He would come in on the weekends and continue treatment rather than have me go untreated for a couple of days.”
