“The team here was amazing. Everyone here is friendly, professional, and efficient. Victoria, the Licensed Physiotherapist who worked with me weekly, was exceptional in creating a plan for my rehabilitation. Her assessments were always helpful, and she answered every question and concern I had with the calmness that comes with experience. The rest of the staff were equally exceptional, particularly Kyle, who typically worked me through my exercises and was always quick to go above and beyond, even catching up with me at the door on my way out to offer more tips and advice that came to his mind with his signature smile.

BL McKee has said:

“Experienced, compassionate, thorough, encouraging, caring, welcoming, and on and on. Ghaith and Courtney have gone above and beyond. Forty years of spine & hip issues had me in acute breath-robbing pain (to the point that I could no longer even turn over in bed without crying out). After six physio visits with Ghaith and sticking to the very simple – but so worth it exercises he showed me to do at home – I started to mend.

He encouraged me to try just one Chiropractic appointment with Courtney to see if she could help me improve my mobility. I had been long advised by other doctors never to see a Chiropractor and had a preconceived idea that the twisting and wrenching would only make things worse. Courtney was amazing. Her gentle, soothing nature calmed me, she walked me through everything she was going to do, listened and acted when any move or action caused me pain; there were no snaps, crackles or pops – just gentle massage-like motions, my fears were put to rest. “
