i LOVE this place! all the staff is so friendly and kind, and so personable! not to mention the care! they are all so amazing, and i have noticed my pain decreasing tremendously! highly recommend!!!!
I was always nervous about going to a Chiropractor when my Primary doctor referred me year after until there was an issue that made me go. I chose Dr Carpenter from a friend referral. I have never regretted the choice! My issue is resolved and I was able to get another weight loss issue resolved also! I have continued my journey with them! If you are one to be skeptical about a Chiropractor, give this office a chance. You will not regret it. This office is now like family, always looking out for me! Many Thanks to their team!
Dr. Carpenter and his staff saved me from extreme low back discomfort. It wasn't overnight but they had me feeling better quickly. I appreciate that they listen and respond to my needs and help me find ways to stay comfortable and pain free!
The staff are all friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Dr. Carpenter is great at explaining your treatment options and what to expect. Its always a good experience and I can see and feel the results of my treatments for cervical pain.
They have a genuinely kind staff who care about the issue that brings you in. I like that it isn't just a crack and go chiropractor. I went in have a pain in my low back, they took x-rays, posture pictures, and used that to decide the best treatment for me. Yes there is adjusting but they also have machines that decompress my back and offer stem treatment to relax the muscles. Happy to have been coming here and encourage anyone reading to give it a try
Great experience here! The entire staff is welcoming, professional, and truly cares about making you feel comfortable. They explain everything clearly, and never make the appointment feel rushed. I’ve noticed a difference since I started coming, and I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. Recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and trustworthy chiropractor!
