I'm really grateful to Alex for having helped me during one of the worst pains of my life!
I've had a lot of problems with my teeth and jaw joint the last few months.
Alex and his magic hands stopped my pains each time.
The clinic is really pleasant and brand new.
I would recommend Alex to anybody who needs the best osteopath in the area.
