They put me on a metal table and beat my spine with hammers. All in all 10/10. Best chiropractic experience I ever had

From the time I walked in the door and met with Dr. Alisha & Dr. Chris…I realized I came to the right place. Dr. Alisha made me feel comfortable and was genuinely concerned about my well-being. She immediately ordered x-rays of my back and they revealed other issues regarding my health. Dr. Alicia addressed everything with me thoroughly and then set up a treatment plan. I have also met with Dr. Chris, who is very knowledgeable and will be helping me to get well and live a better life. Thank you for providing such excellent customer/patient service… including Karina, who sets up all the appointments and the reminders. I appreciate you all and will be happy to refer you to all my friends and family.

I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Zander, Alicia, and Karina. Over the past month, following a slipped disc in my back, their care and support have truly been life-changing. When I was in excruciating pain and barely able to move around my apartment, I called the office, and Dr. Z was quick to offer immediate assistance. His compassion, understanding, and expertise were evident from the start. Dr. Zander developed a thoughtful, incremental plan to help my body relax and heal, and his approach has been a game-changer for my health. His personal experience and professional knowledge allow him to deeply relate to the discomfort you’re in, and I have come to trust him completely. Alicia, the Chiropractor intern, and Karina, the patient care coordinator, have been equally amazing. They are warm, attentive, and always make sure I am taken care of. Together, this team went above and beyond during one of the most challenging experiences of my life. I’m incredibly grateful for their dedication, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Dr. Zander is absolutely amazing! I've been dealing with neck and shoulder pain for years and nothing seemed to help until I started coming here. I'm actually updating this now because I developed TMJ about 6 months ago and (after way to many calls to other places) found out Dr. Zander treats TMJ!! Thanks to the team I went from eating nothing but soft foods to living my life like usual. Cannot recommend this place enough!
