I love being seen by Dr. Marlissa. It’s like catching up with an old friend. I came in for pelvic pain I have been experiencing for about a month now.

My first visit was with Dr Jess, she was amazing. I finally had a restful nights sleep and the ability to move without feeling pain.

Was a great experience was nervous about my first chiropractor visit but after talking to the doctor and them explaining everything clearly and professionally I was at ease. The doctor listened to my concerns and took them into consideration during my assessment. Every procedure was explained to me before done and the doctor checked up on me to make sure I was alright. After my first visit I’m already feeling better and excited to continue getting better with the help of this office. ??
Not only was the service 10 out of 10, the doctor was very personable and made me feel extremely comfortable as this was my first time visiting a chiropractor office. ?

First time I ever had a chiropractor do soft tissue work before adjusting! Previous places I’ve been to have gone quick to adjustments and usually the same moves each time. I felt Dr. Fondechene listened to my complaints and really took their time with our appointment. Can’t wait for my next appointment.

Dr. Jess + Dr. Marlissa are simply amazing! They truly treat their patients in any way they need + always do an outstanding for me. As a triathlete I don't know where my body would be without them.
I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THE FRIENDLY YET PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE OF REPAIR RECOVER RESTORE. THE PRACTITIONERS I HAVE SEEN ALL TOOK THEIR TIME TO EXPLAIN MY ISSUES...AND ALSO TOOK THEIR TIME TO TREAT ME PROPERLY. I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT IN THEIR EXPERTISE AND COMPLETELY HOPEFUL THAT FURTHER HEALING WILL TAKE PLACE. THE OFFICE IS WELL RUN, APPOINTMENTS ARE TIMELY, AND I CONSEQUENTLY FEEL THAT I HAVE ARRIVED AT THE RIGHT PLACE TO TREAT MY STRUCTURAL ISSUES. I RECOMMEND THIS PRACTICE UNCONDITIONALLY.

Verified patient
I absolutely love Dr. Marlissa! She is amazing, from bedside manner to communicating with me and listening to my concerns, I feel so happy that I found her. My pain is concentrated most in my lower back and shoulders and she knows the areas to focus on because she listens and pays close attention. She encourages patients being vocal so she can provide the best care possible, and that makes me feel so confident in expressing myself to her because I know that I can trust her to help me in my journey of healing - this is important to me because it allows me to be less tense, knowing I can feel safe here, which provides additional benefits to my health. I 1000% recommend Dr. Marlissa!
Verified patient
I had read great reviews about Dr. Marlissa on ZocDoc but she exceeded my HIGH expectations. I can't say enough wonderful things about her care. I took my 17 year-old daughter to be seen for back discomfort. Dr. Marlissa was super thorough; extremely knowledgeable; listened carefully; communicated everything she was doing/observing in real time - and had so many awesome tools. I, myself, had last been to a chiropractor 20 years ago, and my visits consisted solely of a back adjustment. Dr. Marlissa used an array of methodology to address my daughter's issues. The whole office was super friendly and very welcoming. It was really a fantastic experience- and Dr. Marlissa followed up with us the very next day. My daughter can't wait to go back! I will be referring all of my peeps to this practice.

I feel better already, even after one visit!
I was experiencing back pain and was happy to find a chiropractor who looked like me. I was seen right away, check in was simple and quick, and Dr. Marlissa's bedside manner was top notch. She listened intently to my concerns and identified the issue while explaining everything to me throughout my appointment. She adjusted me and also showed me exercises I could do at home and encouraged me to reach out to her iff needed. I'd highly recommend her. Also, the office was very clean and inviting which is important to me especially right now.
