chiropractic, acupuncture, MRI & eye glasses in HCM City Saigon

I have been having horrible hip problems traveling around for the last 3 months so decided to try to get some help while in Saigon HCM City.
I wanted to post this for information purposes in case anyone else is interested.
Chiropractic and Acupuncture; Dr. Wade Brackenbury is fantastic. He does both and his office is a short walk from Ben Thanh Market
webpage: www.vietnamchiropractic.com and click on the brit flag to get it in English.
Dr. Brackenbury does Korean acuptuncture as well as chiropractic. He is fantastic. The staff is friendly and I felt right at home. I was also able to get an MRI to alleviate fears about the hip bone at Nguyen Tri Phuong MRI center. (about $100-150) www.mrintp.com The tech read the MRI on the spot which was great .
If interested there is a Orthopedic Dr. at Family Medical Practice called Dr. Claudio Duek if further treatment is necessary. www.vietnammedicalpractice.com This office is located in the Diamond Plaza.

I also wanted to get a full eye exam with 'puff' test for eye pressure and was able to get this done at www.agrgroup.com.vn at 33 Nguyen Du. (corner of Nguyen Du & Ahi Ba Trung St) Most of the eye glass places don't seem to do the full test so I was happy with this and the check up with prescription was only $5. The Dr. was John R. RUIZ OD and he was great! Tip, there are glass frames on sale in the upstairs section so check it out) I got my glasses the next day.
Hope this info is helpful and all of the experiences I had at these places was great.

Yes, I need a dentist as well. I tried locating the one that several have recommended over on Minh Khai I think, but never could find it. Starlight Dental charges different than what they quote you in an email.

If only I could have my glasses made in Vietnam.....:(

I have to pay very high tax on them when they arrive from the States.

Thank goodness I didn't put tax on my canes or I would be poor by now. My last one was involved in a motorbike incident. It was brand new......
