“Excellent first experience with this doctor. Will continue to see in the future. Took the time to listen and try to get to the root cause of my pain. Much more than just a chiropractor ”
Thomas F.June 2, 2025
“Dr. Handler is truly exceptional. He’s easily the best chiropractor I’ve ever visited. My appointment was seamless—I was seen promptly, and it’s always a pleasure chatting with him and his staff. Most importantly, I leave feeling so much better each time. While he doesn’t take my insurance, the out-of-pocket expense is absolutely worth it for the quality of care I receive.”

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Stephen Handler at Repair Recover Restore. After my first two appointments, I left feeling remarkably better with zero back pain. Dr. Handler and his receptionist create a warm and welcoming environment, treating you like a person rather than just a customer. Their friendliness and professionalism made my visits truly enjoyable. I'm impressed and will definitely be scheduling another appointment soon.

Excellent experience. Dr Handler is incredibly knowledgeable in both chiropractics and muscular issues. It was awesome to meet a doctor that seemed to actually care about my issue rather than getting me in and out to see the next patient.

This is the BEST chiropractor I have ever been to - I have had back issues for 25 years and he has treated them and made me feel a million times better. My masseuse even noticed a huge difference in how loose my back was after my second visit.
April 20, 2022James Q.Verified patient
I'm in my mid-30s and had never been to a chiropractor. After years of waiting to take care of my body, I finally decided to search online for a provider - Dr. Handler had great recommendations, their location was nearby, and the photos of their office looked clean and inviting. I booked - and I'm glad I did. The staff was very friendly, I didn't wait to be seen, the explanations of everything were clear and concise, and he took his time acclimating to any problem areas I described. Absolutely recommend, and going back next week!

Dr. Stephen was very welcoming on my initial visit. He was very attentive to my questions and has applied a few techniques I am not familiar with from my prior chiropractic visits. I felt immediately better after the appointment. However, I still have some issues that may require subsequent visits.
