Welcome 

Here we will guide you through our 4-step process of becoming a new patient at Copley Square Chiropractic. Please feel free to reference this section, or our entire website, at any time throughout your new patient process.

Step

Step 1

We strive to make your first visit to our office a comfortable experience. One of our office managers, either Lianna or Amanda, will welcome you and ask you to complete our required forms. These forms will give us important information about you and your condition.  She will then walk you back to one of our exam rooms where one of our chiropractors will spend some time asking specific questions about your condition to determine if chiropractic care is right for you. If chiropractic care is not the answer, we can help refer you to another doctor.

Step 2

After listening to the history of your condition and how it is altering your lifestyle, the doctor will give you a thorough chiropractic examination, such as testing your ability to turn and bend, your reflexes, and other standard postural, neurological, orthopedic, and physical examinations. This important information will allow us to have a better understanding of your condition and how chiropractic care can help you. If your condition is severe enough, we may need to order more advanced testing such as X-rays or an MRI.

Step 3

After all exams, forms, and any advanced testing are complete, we will discuss all the findings and what course of treatment will work for your condition.  Most pain issues do not start over night, so they take time to fix.  Some courses of treatment are as short as 3 days, while some are as long as 3 months, with the majority of treatments falling in the 3-5 week range.  Unfortunately, getting rid of pain isn't as easy as "putting a bone back in place."  It took time for the body to start to feel the pain, and it will take some time for us to help the body heal enough to stop experiencing that pain.  You will recieve our best recommendation about a course of care for your specific condition.

Step 4

If we both agree that you are a good canditate for care in our office, then we will start treating you that same day.  We understand that your time is valuable, so we would never make you come back the following day to start treatment.  We get started right away.  A typical office visit will last 10-15 minutes, during which time we will find what changes need to be made on that particular day and make the appropriate adjustments.

I saw Dr. Lauren Doscher for several months to be treated for frequent headaches. Before seeing her, I suffered from headaches on a daily basis. I essentially lived with headaches every single hour of every single day. With Dr. Doscher's help, I am now headache free! Any time I start to feel one coming on I just make an appointment with her and it goes away immediately! I am so thankful to her, because I am no longer taking pain medication every day and can live my life worry and pain free.

Dr. Lauren Doscher is the best chiropractor I have ever been to! I received treatment from her and have been asymptomatic and pain free ever since! She even gave me exercises to do at home to maintain my back health. I've been to other chiropractors before, but the pain always seemed to come back.

Dr. Doscher is really good at explaining things to you, listening to you and customizing your treatment. She is very personable, detail oriented and thorough. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Doscher. She's got your back!

Dr. Lauren Doscher has worked miracles with my back. It bothered me for over twenty years and nothing seemed to help long-term. Through one of Dr. Lauren's community outreach presentations, I was fortunate enough to hear her speak. I later visited her office and she began to help me work through my back issues. Her care is second-to-none and holistic in nature. Each visit was personalized to my current needs whether it was tight hamstrings, lower back pain, or sciatica pain in my legs. Within a month of care, my twenty year pain was gone! I never felt better!

The best part of Dr. Lauren's treatment is her genuine care for the patient. She is not a chiropractic robot repeating the same treatment on every patient. She tailors her treatments to the patient's needs. I once came in for my treatment on crutches due to a badly sprained ankle. She immediately recognized and provided me with a 30 minute ankle treatment which probably saved me $100's of dollars at the doctor and helped my ankle heal in half the time.

I recommend Dr. Lauren with absolutely no hesitation. She is the best because she truly cares!

Best in Boston!

I've been seeing Dr. Doscher for about 3 years for sporadic lumbar pain and other mobility issues. Her knowledge of the profession and holistic approach to solving my weak points has worked wonders. I'm 5'11 190lb highly active muscular build male, and despite her size has had no problem adjusting me during our visits. Throughout our time she has impressed upon me the importance of full body care through stretching and strengthening my weak points which has greatly improved my day to day in and out of the office and gym. Her holistic approach to musculoskeletal health and friendly demeanor is why I continue to return to Copley Chiropractic. I recommend a visit if you have questions (from the conversations I've had and overheard all of the doctors are highly knowledgable and very friendly) or are looking for a change. Oh! and the office is conveniently located and comfortable.

I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Doscher. I've had a full year of hip pain (hip rotation) that has severely limited my ability to work and do everyday activities, and a different chiropractor and several physical therapists weren't able to do much for me. Dr. Doscher's combination of adjustments and deep muscle work have made an enormous difference. She clearly has excellent knowledge of the interactions between muscle groups and skeletal alignment, and her bedside manner is great.

She takes her time to make sure I understand exactly what she is doing, and really works with me to come up with the best plan. Though I had never had manual adjustments before, I feel completely safe working with her. She always tells me exactly what she is going to do, and asks for feedback to make sure her massage is not more intense than I can handle. I've also found it very easy to get an appointment with her.

On my first visit, because I'd already seen so many specialists, she made sure to set a time frame in which we'd expect to see progress, and planned to help me figure out the next steps for care if her technique wasn't helping me. I'm doing well working with her, so that hasn't been necessary, but the fact that she anticipated that concern of mine spoke volumes about her commitment to care and her sensitivity for her patients.

(I noticed one review saying that she isn't strong enough to do adjustments because she has a small frame. That's totally untrue. She's completely capable of performing manual adjustments.)

Dr. Piretti is wonderful -- professional and reliable, he genuinely cares about your needs. It's so nice to have a physician that's sensitive to your schedule! I have had experienced a few PTs/Chiropractors in the past, but Dr. Piretti is by far the best care I've received. Highly recommend his practice to those in need!

Amanda

I had a very good and positive experience with Dr. Piretti. He is very knowledgeable, informative and professional and I would recommend to any of my friends and colleagues.

Peter

I found both Dr. Piretti and Laura to be extremely helpful, supportive, and responsive to my needs. I had absolutely no waiting time and was welcomed into a very warm, receptive environment. Dr. Piretti is attentive and proficient, relieving me immediately of my neck pain. I highly recommend!

Dr. Piretti has been an essential resource for me, mentally and physically, as I started training for and competing in triathlons a year ago. My endeavor to complete a sprint-length triathlon was made especially challenging due to my prior lack of experience with sports and the stresses the body endures while training and competing.

From day one, I've been able to rely on Dr. Piretti to answer questions about unfamiliar training-related aches and pains and to provide appropriate chiropractic treatment that allowed me to safely train at high intensity levels. In fact, I felt so good midway through the season that I decided to do a half-Ironman distance triathlon. I don't believe I'd have been able to cross the finish line without Dr. Piretti's expertise.

Dr. Piretti and Laura have always been welcoming and professional. I highly recommend Copley Square Chiropractic to anyone seeking preventive or therapeutic chiropractic treatment for any reason. As evidenced by the other Yelp reviews, Dr. Piretti is clearly knowledgeable about a wide range of health care issues for patients of all types, not just athletes and sports-related treatment.

I've generally been skeptical of chiropractors after I went to a few where I live. One tried to charge me for treatments that would basically elongate my back (??) at $60 per session... four times a month. I've also gone to one that wanted to take up my Saturdays with "wellness seminars" that he swore were "part of the healing process for the spine". My spine prefers to sleep in on Saturdays.

Dr. Piretti was a breath of fresh air compared to those other guys. I travel a lot and have a weird curve in my back so at times it can get painful. On an extended stay in Boston, I went to Dr. P after reading the great reviews on this fine website and was blown away. He did a great job and didn't try to up-sell me on weird treatments that didn't make sense. He's also very easy to talk to and he explained things in way that I could understand them.

I highly recommend him to anyone in Boston or who is just passing through.

Jon

Dr. Piretti's adjustments to my neck and spine have been gentle yet effective in relieving my TMJ symptoms.
Short yet effective appointments, and he even takes my insurance.
Dr. Piretti and the front desk staff have been friendly, caring and helpful.
What more can I ask?

Sarah

Everyone's review is right on par. I've been going here for about a month now and my experience here has been incredible. They're really flexible with times and scheduling and not to mention the incredible staff. The receptionist is so nice and always has a smile on her face. It's a great environment to be in, and super close to the Back bay/Copley station.

Dr. Piretti really understood my back issues and reassured me that I would be okay. He's super friendly and extremely professional.
I've been to my fair share of chiropractors and he really helped me out the most.
They also take insurance, I have Blue Cross and only pay a 25$ co-pay when I come in.

I highly recommend this place.

Christine

This was my first visit with any chiropractor. This office has exactly what I like at any medical location; streamlined history and intake forms, polite staff, and prompt appointment time. The doctor/Luke is also very personable. In terms, of expertise, he answered all of my questions and even left me with some new questions to think about. I had an excellent experience, but most importantly, my back is feeling better every day.

Doug

I've been going to Luke now since January...he's great! Not only did he help with my backpain, but has given me some great advice on improving my overall health and living a healthier lifestyle. He's personable and laid-back, his staff is also lovely, and it's usually pretty easy to get a last minute appointment. I would definitely recommend him!

Kate

I saw a great chiropractor years ago in California after a car accident and haven't been to one since although I think they are great. Lately my neck has been in pain, hurting when I turn it to the left and leaving me with headaches. Meeting Luke, after finding him through my insurance, was a surprise, he's young, hip and full of energy but he knows his stuff. His staff is extremely sweet and accommodating, working to get me a last minute appointment. He explained what was wrong and the treatment it would take. No up-sells and he is working his magic on my neck. The headaches are gone and I am more aware of my bad practices that got me to this point. See Luke, he won't disappoint.
