Just started coming here last week and I already feel comfortable with the staff. Maribel, Wes and the rest of the crew are all welcoming and informative. I already starting to feel some relief from my back pain which makes me feel positive I'll be off of light duty at work sooner than planned.
Dr Maribel did an awesome job…it’s still early in the treatment but I’m already feeling the results. I climbed telephone poles for 35 years and my back is killing me….After ten months of trying to get some relief Dr Maribel is the first person to make it feel better….
