I went to this office when I had hip issues. All I needed was basically to have my left leg pulled. He used the drop table on me after I told him I specifically didn't want the drop table. He had me come in 4 times in 7 days. and each time it got worse. I told him on the last visit that my sciatica was down to my calf. he asked me on the way out, "Is it in your ankle yet?" I never went back. I was in horrible pain and couldn't stand up straight for 3 months from seeing him. Would never go back.

I walked into Dr. Stanford's in a considerable amount of pain and stiffness, struggling to even get out of my chair. After a thorough evaluation and an excellent explanation he proceeded to help me get back on track. After even the first session i was able to walk easier and even sleep better. If you are in any kind of discomfort or pain i can't recommend enough stopping by and getting help. Thank you for everything Dr. Stanford!

Went to see Dr Stanford for some pain I caused myself from working out too hard and too often. Most places I had been to before I didn't notice much of a difference after my visits, but I definitely notice a difference after my visits here. He's also just a great person to talk to.

I started coming here after a pretty severe car accident last summer. I was in bad shape at that time. Dr Stanford and his staff helped immensely with my recovery through adjustments and rehab exercises as I saw him frequently for the next several months. I'd give this facility my highest recommendation.
