All Went well for my first visit
Dr Brown is great and Avery personable doc to work with. I do wish he used one of the electric back massager wands before adjusting, that would help relax the muscle more. A different chiropractor I used to see used those for about 45 seconds to a minute before adjusting.
Great experience
Always a good experience for me and helpful information.
I like how I wasn't rushed out. Took the time to ask about medical history and understand what's been done to date. Described the process well and treatment instructions were clear
I really appreciate getting in today for an urgent issue. Staff were awesome! Dr Brown was perfect with my son, made him feel comfortable and gave him relief. Thanks!!
Always a great experience and great care.
