What a great team! Dr. Shara and Dr. Kate are both exceptional practitioners and adapted their adjustments based on my ever changing symptoms while pregnant. Felicia did more for me with one massage than three months of physical therapy and Dr Joanie did excellent acupuncture work ahead of delivery. I highly recommend for mamas while pregnant and for baby after delivery. Dr. Shara works absolute magic with newborns. I would travel across multiple state lines just to have her adjust me and my baby again!

Dr. Shara Posner is a wonderful chiropractor. Her demeanor is professional and friendly! She's thorough yet efficient with time and is never running behind. Second review is for Andrew, one of the massage therapists at this same location. He is also thorough and professional. I appreciate and respect them both so much! They are both great people to chat with and get to know better as well. Insurance claims have been easy. Parking is not a problem.

I had developed a nerve impingement while exercising and Dr. Shara took care of it in just a single visit. Relief was immediate! Highly recommend!

I previously wrote a negative review and Dr Posner personally called me and cleared up the misunderstanding. THIS meant sooo much to me. It shows how much she cares about her business. My husband and children, 8 and 4, have visited and they came home with rave reviews. Even the little one said he enjoyed his massage. Dr Posner also gave recommendations for picky eating and inattentive behaviors for my children. Dr Posner and her staff are extremely professional. I'm going to make an appointment for myself.

I got my first acupuncture ever with Dr. Joannie and the customer service was excellent! I felt valued and cared for as a customer, she looked out for my needs and asked relevant questions. Even though the acupuncture was 3 weeks ago, Im still feeling the positive effects. I look forward to going back again and recommending to my friends and family.
