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.

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

I had a successful back surgery 2 months ago. After going home and off the Meds, a Pudendal nerve decided to show up, in the most excruciating pain I have ever experienced! it was like someone tazed me from the back to the front for 10-12 minuets at a time. it put me back in the hospital for 3 1/2 days with no diagnosis. After a hip injection, I went home still experiencing the pain. a week later and experiencing numbness in the area, my surgeon called Dr. Rita Hancock. He relayed the symptoms over the phone, she identified the suspect nerve. Agreed to see me and confirmed the nerve issue. She suggested a Dr. to block the nerve if need be. Then she examined continued to examine me using Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine and Trigger points. her healing hands for many of my out of line ribs, vertebra and muscle knots. I was stooped over when I went in that day and went out walking as straight up! The nerve pain dramatically subsided with NO nerve block, just her touch! I'll be back soon

I came to Dr. Hancock for two reasons. First, she was able to relieve the tremendous amount of pain my wife was having! And based on that, the second reason I came to her was for increasingly severe, non-migraine, headaches I was experiencing. I thought if she could help my wife, then perhaps she could help me. After the first visit my headaches because less severe, AND less frequent! Dr. Hancock also helped me with other back issues I was having. She will also continue to work on you as long as her treatments are helping you. If she feels she has gone as far as she can, she will tell you! I appreciate her skill and dedication to her profession! I would highly recommend her. Thank you Dr. Hancock! God has given you a wonderful gift!

Dr.Hancock doesn't like fat people.I had one visit where things seemed pretty positive.I don't want to be on pills for mobility issues associated with arthritis.She said she would try to help me.I made another appointment and all of the sudden there's a sign at the reception desk.The sign states that their tables have a 400lb. limit.I don't weigh that much but they sure did try!She makes you wear a gown like a jacket so that she doesn't even have to touch your clothes.She wants to give off this vibe about being Christian.Well, I'm here to tell you that she's the kind that gives real Christians a bad name.Her excuse for letting me go as a patient ON MY 2ND VISIT is that the first treatment didn't hold. She even threatened that the insurance wouldn't pay and then they would come to me just to further discourage me from coming back.The treatment consists of her "laying hands"on your back.No actual adjustment is being made so it is not a suprise that it didn't work. What a scammer,beware.

Too fat to be your patient – Mar 20, 2021

I'm grateful and appreciative for Dr. Hancock's skill in dealing with nerve pain, both down my arm and into my hand from taut muscles in my shoulder and neck, and alleviating the nerve pain down my leg from misalignment. She is the best! She understands what is going on and she is skillful in dealing with it. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends.

After years of chronic back problems, CT scans, MRIs, ultra sounds and epidurals I was referred to Dr Hancock. I could tell a difference after my first visit but in 2 months I am finally a normal functioning adult again. She is so amazing at the methods she used on me that I really couldn’t believe it was working. If you have problems with pain that doesn’t go away you really need to try her. She does not disappoint and you will be amazed too. She’s the most talented dr I’ve been to

I've seen Dr. Hancock for a chronic pain issue for years. She is incredibly in tune with her patients, and brings the latest techniques and care to bear. She stays up on current trends, and therapies and has significantly reduced my pain and kept it down for several years. I have had TPI for over 20 yrs to help me with a long time injury, she is excellent at pinpointing the trigger and eliminating the pain.

I suffer with RA, which leaves me miserable during times of flare ups. I have never had a doctor perform manual manipulation on me effectively in the way Rita did. She has wonderful bedside manner and I truly believe she was put on this earth to heal people inside and out.

Having had EMG in the distant past I had forgotten how painful they can be since the practioner is dealing with nerve paths and nerve bundles. I was referred to Dr. Hancock in May 2010 and unlike other Pain Management physicians that perform EMG's Dr. Hancock was caring, careful, good listener, and very thorough. She took the time to answer all of my questions, very professional. Although this type of testing is usually unpleasant, her caring attitude made the whole situation much easier.
