    I’m still going to therapy here, seeing some improvement for my back. It’s a marathon not a sprint as I was told. The staff is very good, welcoming, knowledgeable and wants you to succeed in your treatment. I would highly recommend Dr Shoemaker and her team of professionals to treat your problem. They are too notch. I’m very happy I sought their help.

    My experience here was exceptional! I had 3 bulging discs and one was pinching my spine causing pins, needles,numbness & a lot of pain for an entire year. Just when I thought I was never going to get better, I had a consultation with Dr Karen, she reviewed my MRI with me. Then explained everything so I could understand the process, and then she got me on track for the healing process! The staff is friendly & knowledgeable. Thank you Dr. Karen, Dr. Alex, Dr. Eric, Samantha, Shelly & Kelly! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
