I visited this location as a new patient and left after waiting an hour and twenty minutes for the…read morechiropractor. He kept seeing existing walk-in patients before me even though I had an appointment, I never did see him because at the hour and twenty minute mark I could hear he was deep in conversation with a patient and I felt I couldn't wait any longer for a non essential appt. I had taken time off work for the appointment was and never seen, the receptionist was nice and said that he runs late on appointments. So I cannot review his chiropractic services but found his scheduling unacceptable. As a professional that bills hourly, I was very tempted to bill him for my wasted time. Let's do better... be kind and respect each other's time!

I don't usually write reviews, but this experience absolutely deserves one. (Dr John Manning)…read more After dealing with chiropractors in the past who felt rushed, salesy, or just not transparent, finding this place was a huge relief. From the very first visit, it was clear that this chiropractor genuinely cares about patients and isn't just trying to push unnecessary treatments or packages. What really stood out to me is the attention to detail. He took the time to thoroughly understand my issues, asked thoughtful questions, and actually listened instead of jumping straight into adjustments. Everything was clearly explained--what was going on, what the plan was, and why--so I never felt left in the dark or pressured into anything. He's also incredibly attentive during each session. You can tell he's fully focused on you, not rushing to get to the next patient. On top of that, he's willing to go the extra mile--whether that's spending extra time to make sure something is right, offering helpful advice for at-home care, or adjusting the treatment based on how you're feeling that day. Most importantly, this is NOT one of those "scammy" chiropractic offices. No gimmicks, no upselling, just honest, high-quality care. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, transparent, and truly invested in your well-being, I highly recommend giving this chiropractor a visit.

After a rear-end car…read moreaccident left me with constant pain in my head/neck/shoulders, Dr. Gary was instrumental in my full recovery. He took great care in listening and assessing my situation so that he could create a treatment plan that I felt comfortable with. He took x-rays, explained his process to me thoroughly, and was even very clear upfront about confirming that my visits would be covered by the amount I had available through insurance -- no surprises or extra costs along the way. I experienced almost immediate pain relief, and after just a few months have regained full strength and mobility. I can't thank him enough!!! As someone who was new to chiropractic care, I would recommend Dr. Gary to anyone who is hesitant or unfamiliar with it. Cindy and Kay who work in the office are so sweet and really take care of everyone who comes in! They made scheduling & billing so easy for me, set up text/email reminders, and just made me feel welcome & comfortable every visit. Now that my injury is behind me I'm looking forward to some wellness visits with Dr. Gary in the future to keep me feeling strong and pain-free! Thanks again, McDowell Family Chiropractic!! :)

I currently see him for general health maintenance. I'm a mom of 2 kiddos who love to play hard & occasionally be carried, so my alignment is often off. Dr. James is the most thorough chiropractor I've met. He's very kind & a great listener. He always makes sure to address any areas of concern & I leave feeling better. As for Essential Chiropractic, I appreciate how the natural light compliments the atmosphere & how I'm greeted by the scent of essential oils as I enter. It is truly a relaxing place & I highly recommend Dr. James.

He adjusted one of our kids after they were born and took him from a low APGAR score to a perfect APGAR score.

Now that we have moved states, we still come see Dr Amonette when we visit, because he is that GIFTED at what he does. We literally spend vacation time on seeing him! He surrounds himself with detailed and caring staff as well. I highly recommend this place! (Oh, and he treats three generations of my family now!)

Just need my ankle treated. Everything is promoting "awesome"which reminds of of the mocking in Mean Girls about the awesome party awesome drinks and awesome music. There is a free massage chair for your use before or after appointments for 15 minutes. That's a plus. No hand sanitizer in site in the treatment room but one small bottle in the lobby. If you can get past all the awesome overkill, Dr. Marshall is great! He had specific knowledge on my injury and how to treat the rest of my body also. Four stars.

Looking forward to our next visit!
