It was great. But I booked with a woman and was seen by a man. I was okay with it this time but sometimes it makes me feel uncomfy. They did a great job though.

thank the LORD for science and the professionals in the health, wellness and rehab field. My PT Hazel was a delight and very knowledgeable. She explained everything to me in detail and made recommendations for other disciplines based on my symptoms and her thorough assessment. She was patient, kind and supportive. The chiropractor was amazing. She explained how my jaw pain is connected to my neck and shoulders. She was kind, patient and knowledgeable. Everyone in this practice was kind. I look forward to greeting the front desk workers again as they gave me a warm welcome and made everything super easy. The facility itself is clean, beautiful, modern and above all - CALM. I’m excited to start my recovery process here!
