“Dawn is amazing! Incredibly professional, knowledgeable, detail oriented, and perceptive. I am blessed to have her guidance and advice.”
Matthew Bennett · Facebook · 10 Apr 2019
“I came in hopping on one foot (knee problem) and came out walking normally again. Dawn certainly knows her stuff and how to get the old Meniscus back into place. Although I still require additional visits to help strengthen the area to avoid future occurrences, I look forward to the process of full recovery. I would recommend this clinic to anyone having joint/muscle problems. Also there's a bowl of Werther's Originals at the front counter which makes the experience a little more sweeter :) 10/10 🦵”Read moreShow less
