“Dr. Joo has advanced certification in Chiropractic BioPhysics, a technique to restore proper spine alignment to reduce pain and improve function.
During a consultation (free for new patients), Dr. Joo reviewed X-rays (results were much more complex than I expected) and proposed a treatment plan. Every three months, he updated the X-rays and the plan.
Three treatments a week for almost a year were a wise investment in my future health.
During this time, Dr. Joo showed consistent professionalism with patients (including babies and children) from different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. He was always positive, efficient, reassuring, respectful, and helpful.
I am very satisfied with the superb care that Dr. Joo provided, My quality of life has greatly improved.
His treatments are in one large room. There is ample parking and easy access from MD-355 and I-270.
For a trustworthy and skillful chiropractor who relies on scientific evidence, I encourage you to see Dr. Joo.
