Had a massage by Naomi. She’s awesome and we will be regulars. Professional, kind and knowledgeable!
Everything runs smoothly. Everyone is very pleasant and professional. The facility is always very clean and it’s very nice. Shannon, the massage therapist, does an excellent job. I would recommend to everyone.
Dr. Matt and the entire staff have been GREAT! I went in for some issues I was having with my neck and back and Dr. Matt also helped me with some other issues I was having with my calf and shoulders that have made a HUGE improvement in my overall health and comfort.
I highly recommend using Dr. Matt!
Very professional and in depth consultation. These people seem to genuinely care about people’s health and progress.
My first visit with DR Matt I could not walk standing up. I literally had to walk bent over. I was in so much pain. He looked at my MRI and knew what he was dealing with. He did gentle maneuvers,,stretching and massaging. I now walk upright with no pain 😃 Thank you DR Matt for giving me back my life!!
Dr. Matthew squeezed me in on short notice and took very good care of me. He was very thorough and didn’t just adjust me and let me walk out. Amazing experience here and the receptionist is a sweetheart.
The whole staff is very kind and professional and flexible. I’m very pleased with my experience I’ve had at the clinic. They offer massages along with acupuncture and they do a great job in both. They are very accommodating and easy to talk to.
Dr. Matt has done wonders for me and I recommend him highly – I can’t say enough good things about him. Dr. Matt and staff are good people and will take great care of you.
First time getting a massage. Naomi walked me through the process and made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. I went in with a tight lower back and it is feeling amazing now.
Dr. Wilson and Dr, Alec (pt) are both top notch, and I’ve trusted my whole with Dr. Matt Wilson for the last couple years. My father was a chiropractor for over 40 years, so I knew what I was looking for, and he’s the best we’ve found in the area. He’s also on our insurance. Their approach is to get you feeling better, and not to string things out, costing you more time and money than necessary. While they have all the equipment necessary (x-ray, etc) they don’t push unneeded services or snake oils. Both are caring, competent, and compassionate. The staff is good about finding appointments when you need them, and scheduling you with multiple people in a visit whenever possible. The new building is clean, well appointed, and comfortable. Wait times are short, too. My husband has also had a therapy-based deep tissue massage from one of the two new ladies, and said it really helped!
I really love it here! They are very friendly and I feel Dr. Wilson is giving me great treatment! I also don’t feel pressured into coming back too frequently. The adjustments are great! Great office!
