I just finished my first appointment with Dr Michael. His diagnosis of my hip made a lot of sense. I am quite confident that his treatment plan is going to work and I'll be able to return to playing my sport with pain and discomfort. I have already noticed a progression in the right direction after one treatment.- Mark is an effective practitioner and a great person. Very easy to deal with and very calm bedside manner.
- Dr. Mikayla is the most amazing person, and I think everyone in the world should see her.
- I left confident and truly impressed on the quality of service and care. Keep up the good work.
- An amazing experience with both massage and chiropractic care. Looking forward to continued visits and improved health!
- I did not realize how badly I need a good massage and Sarah was not only up to the task but did an over whelming job. I did not realize how many knots were in my muscles or how many of my muscles were overly tight, but Sarah massaged and got them all to relax. I feel absolutely great as a result, better than I felt in months. I will definitely be back for follow ups.

- I had my first chiropractor's appointment 40 years ago as I had migraines at the time. The migraines have not come back but I have had appointments regularly ever since. I have seen numerous chiropractors at that time but they have never been as thorough as Dr. Sherra's team. I was blown away by this and how caring and kind everyone was. I was looking for a similar caring chiropractor as my previous, one who moved away about a year ago and I have found her!! Thank you so much!
- First visit to a chiropractic clinic was amazing and given me confidence that I am going to be a better person and live normal life.
- Very friendly staff at front desk as well as the massage therapist!
- Dr. Schmolke was amazing with our kids and made them feel at ease.
- I could not have been happier with the help I received from Michael. I've seen other chiropractors in the past and this was by far the best experience i have had, with the pain level being eliminated after the first session. I'll definitely be coming back (next appointment is scheduled) and I would recommend Michael without hesitation.
- Staff was extremely friendly and professional. The clinic atmosphere is very comfortable and welcoming. I came in for a massage (for my back - desk job) and left a very satisfied client; my massage therapist was very knowledgeable, knew what she was doing/talking about, which instilled confidence in me to trust her.
