“Dr Mael is always friendly and attentive. He listens and asks related questions to ensure the treatment is appropriate and if follow-up is needed.”
Loughton F.September 5, 2025
“Knowledgeable, passionate (so fun to learn the science behind all the things), and I felt very comfortable as a female-bodied person. I'm sharing this because I know some women prefer a female chiropractor. He made me feel very at ease, the office environment was comfortable, and I'm thrilled that I found him.

Amazing professional
October 23, 2024Hamdi A.Verified patient
Mr Mael was truly wonderful. It was my first time seeing a chiropractor and I didn’t know what to expect. He took time to listen to me and ask questions and I didn’t feel rush to explain things. We went into a lot of details together. He was very friendly and a clear communicator. He explain everything in a way I could understand and was courteous and professional when doing the manipulations I needed. I’m feeling better for having found someone so knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and who made me feel like I was in excellent hands. I would recommend 100%!

Dr. Mael is very nice. He listened to the issues I was experiencing very patiently and made me understand what was wrong and how he will fix it.
