July 17, 2025Frank K.Verified patient
The provider had her office temp call to inform me that my gps would bring me to the wrong place. I was told that when I arrived I needed to text the office staff. I do NOT text, and do NOT wish to go and wait in an area that I am not familiar with, and that isn't even the correct location. The business owner is responsible for making any correction on google maps. This clearly never crossed her mind.

June 2, 2023Daysi H.Verified patient
I have been dealing with a condition for a long time, and I have been told by multiple doctors that I would need to live with it, and there was not much I could do about it. Then I found Dr. Florida. I am so happy that I did, because not only do I have relief, but I feel so much better and I am able to go back to my hobbies. I thought I could never do them again!

Dr. Florida is skilled, sensitive and very communicative. It is rare for someone to be as tuned in to energy changes, as well as adept at technical aspects of acupuncture. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, myself, I appreciate first class service, and the ability to bring about therapeutic change consistently and with great ease.

I am so pleased that my friend referred me to this clinic. I have been in a great deal of pain for a long time and thought I was facing surgery. Within a short time and a series of treatments, my pain was reduced significantly and I my walking is improved so much that you could not tell I had an injury.
The facility is clean, professional, modern and convenient.
