Hands down the best Chiropractor and Chiropractic office I've ever visited. Dr. Lisa truly care's about your health and takes a holistic approach to your treatments. I've been to many chiropractors over the year, all who have ensured their treatment will work but never does, if anything I felt worse. I love Lisa's approach as it's unique and different from the traditional way of chiropractic care. I finally have found someone who I trust with my Chiropractic care. I have had ONE treatment thus far and already feel an immense difference. I'll be a client for life!

Very different from any other Chiropractor I've been to. Initial questionnaire covers a thorough medical/life experience list. Assessment informative. Treatment gentle, so gentle almost feeling nothing is being done, but for the first time I have hope that the apparent carpal tunnel syndrome from which I have suffered for almost 6 months will soon disappear.

Dr Lisa is very personable and kind. She helped my boyfriend go from almost immobile to walking and sitting and driving in just a couple weeks. He has two badly slipped discs and he is doing very very well with regular visits. It was almost a miracle !

The atmosphere in the office is worth a first visit alone. Dr Lisa and Cindy have create a truly welcoming environment. Their care and support for their patients is obvious in each interaction.
Dr Lisa also follows up with relevant care tips as your progress through treatment. Her suggestions are reasonable and “do-able”. She is up on new research and always sharpening her skills. It’s nice to know she is keeping her knowledge and skills up to date.
My small daughter is welcomed for treatment and supervised while I have my own treatment. It’s hard to put into words exactly why it is so

Essence was my first place to go to regarding chiropractic services. Reading these reviews were no doubt helpful in helping me decide on the place to make my first appointment to, and I was definitely not disappointed. From the moment you step in, you're immersed in a calm and safe atmosphere where you feel welcomed and valued. Dr. Lisa and Cindy have been extremely accommodating to my needs and concerns. For the several weeks I visited for my appointments, I honestly cannot think of anything other than positive experiences. This is an easy place to recommend to anyone who seeks a chiropractor

I have had a history of back problems and 3 spinal surgeries prior to coming to see Dr. Lisa in April of 2015. I have tried traditional chiropractic treatments (manual adjustments) as a way to manage pain and my condition but they were all met with negative results. Since seeing Dr. Lisa and having this type of treatment I have had greater sustainability and have seen vast improvements since I've been under her care.
Not only has Dr. Lisa been integral to my ongoing recovery, Cindy has been fantastic with arranging and accommodating my varying work schedule. Cindy is always understanding and her

Dr. Lisa and her staff has been providing me with amazing chiropractic care for over 10 years. My immune system is stronger than ever and after every entrainment (adjustment), my spine, back, shoulders, and neck are quickly restored to ideal flexibility. I travel over a 1/2 hour each way because I can't justify seeking chiropractic care from anyone else.
