Greetings All, I'm sorry, but it doesn't get any better than Dr Marc!!! I have been seeing Dr. Marc for over 20 years now and I will not see any other chiropractor but him form my adjustments, he is just a great soul. As for hugs, I love getting my adjustments and a family hug every time I go to see him. If you have been seeing Dr. Marc for a while you become family and the hugs are natural and greatly appreciated, I wish there was more of that. I have never had and issues with his schedule. Working with his incredible staff of Ricky whom I met the same time as the doc, then Mel, and Gabriela was an extra benefit and a blessing, always willing to make a schedule change if it could be, keeping in mind about the time for them to bring in new patients. I highly recommend Dr Marc to anyone that love someone that is looking out for your health and wants the best for you. I always say this about Doctor's and other extremely amazing people/physiatrist etc in this field. "While some doctors can save your life, Chiropractic Doctors and other therapies can help you live it". I have not said it enough Dr Marc. Thank You and all of your staff for what you do and will do. Well done, Sir, to you all. read more

This is a glowing review for the new chiropractor at Life Within, Dr. Saahil (pronounced "saw-hill"). He is amazing! Similar to a deep tissue massage when a practitioner is highly skilled, Dr. Saahil's adjustment was extremely thorough but never painful. I have degenerative disc disease, which gives me a constant level of pain in low back and hips around 5/10. After an acupuncture treatment, I was able to get my inflammation down so the pain was only 2/10. I thought that was as pain-free as I'd ever be, but it was my first adjustment with Dr. Saahil that took my pain even lower and had me at 0/10 where my pain was totally absent for the first time in years! I will definitely continuing seeing him on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My plan it to come in twice a week for a while until my spine is no longer slipping back out of alignment, and then coming in once every 1-2 weeks for maintenance because I can really see how beneficial it is for my body to be properly aligned. Kudos to the office for being set up to take an FSA and HSA as well, which makes the cash payment rate even more affordable. read more

i have been suffering from vestibular migraine, blurred vision and have simply not felt well for almost a year. i am SO glad that I meet with Dr Saahil and after he did a thorough new patient exam, he discoverd a C2 disc that was rotated severely. He came up with a fantastic treatment plan and after one upper neck adjustment I felt Immediate relief! To the point all of of my symptoms were gone. Than you soooo much Dr Saahil! I highly recommend him for any type of chiropractic care or simply helping you come up with a plan to better yourself. read more

Nope. No!!! it doesn't get any better then Dr G AKA Dr Marc Gottlieb!!! I do not let any chiropractor adjust me and/or manipulate my neck unless I know 100% that they know what they're doing.... My first wife, my beloved Donna E. has been seeing Dr Marc for almost 20 years and she said she trusts him with "her eyes closed" so I went to see him and lo and behold he is the best there is. I highly recommend you try him...there's Dr. G and then there's the rest! The office supporting staff from Ricky, the office manager, to the beautiful ladies who check you in. It's a five-star service... I think you can get your first visit, including x-rays for only $39.99 check them out! read more

Was always concerned about the appts with Dr. Marc being less than 5m and a refusal to answer questions beyond a "rack and crack" approach, but the work was ok, so I kept going. Was bothered by the seemingly racist and sexist comments and jokes from Dr. Marc, but kept going, thought it was me misreading things. Was especially concerned about the way Dr. Marc kisses his female patients without consent, just the females, never the males. But kept going. Now I see he's listed on Public Square, which is a site dedicated to helping conservatives find "anti-woke," pro-life (anti-choice) businesses and they've got Donald Trump Jr. on their board. Life Within had to apply to get listed on there, this is not an accident. If you value a woman's right to bodily autonomy and have liberal ideals, I would not recommend. If you would like a little smooch that you didn't ask for and less than 5-minutes of care for an $80 appt., you're going to love it here. read more

I had my consult with Dr. Sean last week. I loved my previous chiropractor but she closed down her practice. I had been putting off going to someone new because I was nervous I wouldn't have as good of an experience, but after pinching my sciatic nerve, I had no choice. A family member recommended Dr. Sean and I am so glad they did. Within 36 hours my nerve pain was totally gone. I thought it was really cool that they had an x-ray machine and could go through all of my spine health with me and make sure it was in fact a nerve issue. The practice is clean and welcoming and the guy at the front desk was helpful and nice. Dr. Sean is warm and friendly and put me at ease right away. After my initial adjustment and consult I had a follow up with him to go over a care plan and pricing options. The prices for people without insurance were very competitive and I was glad to leave that appointment knowing I had a great new chiropractor. read more

Anytime I get anything going on in my body that just seems out of line I come to this Chiropractic clinic and everything is better. Dr Marc provides, tactics, techniques & procedures to maintain and improve your spine, the supporting muscles & lifestyle needs to meet the task. I've been coming here since 2009 (pretty sure November 2009). I do research from home by day and work hospitality by night. My back gets its share of challenges from posture to nutritional needs. If I didn't have such a great chiropractor I'd not be able to sustain as efficiently. Everyone here is awesome. read more

I want to give 5 stars but unfortunately I just can't. Mainly because of office hours not service. They state they are open 7:00am to 6:30pm however, they are only open 7-9am then 3:30-6:30pm these hours don't fit in my schedule I'm glad I didn't pay for the full package that I wouldn't be able to use. I'm hoping my husband can get his refunded due to these office hours. Go to Spectrum next door for more flexible hours. read more

Dr. Marc and his team are awesome. They always leave me better than when I came in. Not only is it a great place to get adjusted affordably and quickly, but Dr. Marc facilitates a great energetic, positive atmosphere. It always has a great impact on the rest of my day. If you can get there early, it's a great way to start your day. Thanks Dr. Marc! read more

I have been seeing Dr Marc for over five years now. He has greatly improved my on-going neck issues from a car accident in my 20s. He and his staff are kind-hearted, professional, and diligent. Chiropractic maintenance at Dr. Marc's office has greatly impacted my health and wellbeing. I always leave feeling energized and well-adjusted with a smile! read more

From skeptic to full believer of Chiropractics thanks to Dr.Marc's spinal rehab program. A review on how Life Within/ Dr.Marc dramatically improved my quality of life at 28 years old. I was referred to Life With from my massage therapist after working with her to try and figure out where my chronic neck and back paint we're coming from. I was also suffering from intense and sporadic back spasms that would leave me with crippling back pain for days. No amount of body work, stretching or other PT methods could help me. After my initial consultation with Dr. Marc, he quickly diagnosed the root pain cause via a X-ray from a compressed lumbar spine and hyper straightened neck. I was prescribed 2x adjustments a week for 6 months. I am an avid gym goer and body building competitor. This pain was greatly impacting my overall quality of life as well as my ability to perform at the gym and on stage. It's been 2 months since I started my rehab program and I no longer suffer from any pain in my neck/back and have had zero back spasms. I am beyond grateful for Dr.Marc for giving me my life back and being able to live it to the fullest, pain free. read more

Dr Marc has been helping me for almost 2 months. I have had major improvement. He makes sure you are comfortable with your treatment & explains everything he's doing. I have been on a pretty heavy dose of medication, with Dr Marc's help, I have been able to almost stop those meds. The office is always bright & cheerful. read more

Dr. Marc is an amazing chiropractor and I have worked with many chiropractors. I'm a massage therapist who worked primarily with chiropractors for majority of my career. I was having knee issue the first time I came and he adjusted my knees alongside the full spinal adjustment and within just one adjustment the problem fixed itself. Now I go back regularly for maintenance because of my physical job. I stopped going for a little because of financial stuff and got a really bad low back strain from overstretching. I could barely move. Went and bought another package (highly recommend for savings) and the next day it had gone down substantially. Within 3 days and two adjustments it was completely gone. Definitely recommend Dr. Marc he's a godsend. read more

Dr. Micah is great. I feel like I've worked with several chiropractors who are pretty pushy and oversell the science behind how helpful chiropractic treatment can be, but my consultation was straightforward and informative. Chantel at the front desk is super friendly and will make you feel right at home, and as I mentioned, there's not a ton of pressure to sign up for more than is going to help you. They have flexible packages to get you what you need without having to come in twice a week to make it worth your money. Once you get going, dropping in for a quick adjustment is fast and easy. I came in with a lower back complaint, did a few adjustments over the course of a month, and then just set a PR my front squat. Highly recommend based on personal touch and quality of care. read more

Dr. Micah is amazing! I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Micah when I was in town for the week. I had gotten adjusted before, but Dr. Micah is BY FAR the best chiropractor I have ever seen. I came in with a pinch in neck and right shoulder, but I left PAIN FREE! Dr. Micah was welcoming, knowledgeable, and quick but attentive. I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Micah after just one visit, and I would recommend him to anyone. I will definitely be back next time I am in town! read more

I became acquainted with the Life Within Chiropractic office through a health fair my employer held two years ago; however, I never made the decision to go. A couple of weeks ago, I started experiencing a sharp pain running down my right leg, and I decided to give the office a call to make an appointment and met with Dr. Marc Gottlieb. I was warmly greeted by the office team and was met with wonderful customer service. Dr. Marc Gottlieb and the Life Within Team were very informative and caring as they covered their process and procedures. Turns out I had a bit more issues going on that I thought and the team was very helpful in getting me started down the path of physical improvement. After just two adjustments, I started noticing the pain in my right wrist, which I believed to be the early stages of carpal tunnel, had all but disappeared! What?!? I didn't go in for my wrist pain, but I was now realizing how much my misalignment was affecting other areas of my body. Not only was I now experiencing relief in my wrist, but I started noticing that I was falling asleep a lot quicker and waking up feeling rested, which I thought was wonderful since I usually take melatonin to help me sleep, not anymore! I'm now three weeks into my chiropractic sessions, and I can definitely feel the difference in my body from mobility to wellness! After every session I feel a surge of energy and alertness as if I had a couple of shots of espresso. I'm not much of a runner, but I feel like I could tackle a run! The changes in my physical health are absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to see where I'll be in 5 months. I'm very excited to also learn more about health and wellness through their upcoming health meeting. I would definitely recommend Dr. Marc Gottlieb and the Life Within Chiropractic office. Treating the root of the cause of pain and physical issues is much better than treating the symptoms. Thank you Dr. Marc Gottlieb and the Life Within team! read more

Very sad to say that I will not return here for these reasons: PSA I went in for hip and low back pain about a year ago, did the X-ray and never found the time to return with my work schedule until the stay at home orders this year. Went in and the doctor explained the X-ray results from a year ago- lot can change in a year, very surprised that the doctor did not recommend doing new xrays. I would have happily paid for them. First session I was charged for a full month, $350, when I thought I was being charged for 1 session. The receptionist charged my card and then I saw the amount on the receipt afterward. I was rushed into paying before he would adjust me so i just let it go because I had to get to work. After expressing concern of feeling rushed in the 3 minute session I received, I was told to request a private room for the next one. I did and received a full 5 minute session. Even though I asked doctor Mark not to twist my back because it gave me pain in the past he did it anyway and caused me pain. When I returned after my first adjustment I told the doctor i had new neck pain that I didn't have before and that it felt like whiplash. He said that was normal and adjusted my neck again. The next time I returned i told the doctor i had a burning sensation down my legs that I hadn't experienced in over 6 months and he said as long as it's not a new feeling it's all good and adjusted me again. I have never had neck issues and now I have hip, low back AND neck pain, i went to 6 sessions total and left in more pain than when I started. This practice will continue to get bad reviews because the doctor only cares about money and not about his patients. He wants to get people in and out of there as fast as possible instead of really finding out how he can help them. When he changes his business model to be patient centric he will start to see better reviews. I do not recommend this chiro and I have been to many chiro's in many different countries and cities. I hope they can see this as a genuine review not to harm the business but to help it improve for other people. read more

Watch out for Taryn at the front desk :( Ricky is brilliant! Good physicians,however Taryn is challenged to communicate and provide receipts for FSA reimbursement. Taryn cause me to walk out the door with her lack of customer service. read more

Dr Marc is the BEST Chiropractor out there! He has been treating my children and I for over 15 years and we have always had the best care. He is passionate about what he does and continues to learn as well as educate me and my family on all things chiropractic. I have always highly recommended him to all my family and friends over the years, who all have also had the best care with him. Everyone at the office is extremely kind and helpful as well! We love Life Within! read more

I cannot fully express in this review how excited we are to be taking our son to Dr. Katie. The whole staff is amazing. Ricky holds it all together up front & Dr. Katie & Dr. Mark provide our son (living with Autism) with exceptional care. The staff and fellow patients feel like family to us. The lobby is not a dull place. Ricky keeps everyone smiling & gifts my son with some rad stickers every time he is there for adjustments. I am big on service and honesty. They have exceeded my expectations & we look forward to many years of healing under their care. Thank you! read more

Thank you so much Dr.Bo for adjusting my legs and hips. I like that you are very friendly and that your personality is very warm that you can make any person feel at ease. read more

I have been coming to Dr. Marc for 8 years and oh my goodness has he changed my life! I had been to many chiropractors before and no one was able to adjust me the way he did. My life changed after just a few short months. I went from daily migraines, not being able to think straight and constant pain, to playing sports and being active and feeling alive again! I've even referred several friends who still go to him. Don't waste your time going anywhere else! Taryn and Ricky are amazing as well! read more

I had a great first visit with Dr. Micah! From the front office, to Dr. Micah himself, everyone was very professional and made me feel welcomed. I received some great information for my health, and would highly recommend you see Dr. Micah. I will definitely be coming back for my future chiropractic treatment. read more

Dr Marc and his staff are very friendly. They like to hug. Be prepared. Before coming here I suffered 3 injuries in car accident at age 18. At that time I was told surgery was my only option. Not wanting to do that, I endured daily pain and limited mobility for the next 18 years. Until I met Dr. Marc. After under going a special treatment plan of 3 sessions a week for 6 months, I am all but cured. Only every now and again do I have pain and it's usually from overdoing it or waiting too long for a maintenance adjustment. Dr Marc and team have literally changed my life. I'm still not really into hugging, but I'm eternally grateful for the care and attention I receive here. You won't regret it. read more

Dr Marc is excellent at what he does! I've seen him multiple times for pinched nerves and he is so great at treating the area that hurts. He listens well to concern and I always feel a huge improvement after an adjustment. read more

I LOVE Dr. Bo and Dr. Marc! Both are excellent Chiropractors. I initially got started with Dr. Bo due to sciatica and lower back pain. What I love about this practice, is that if you sign up with one Doctor and its their day off, you can see the other Doctor. I have been going to them for over a year now and I am happy to report, that I no longer suffer from lower back pain and Sciatica. Chiropractic is not a one time fix all, it takes time for our bodies to heal and adjust, so I always purchased the packages. I would say it took 7 visits to finally feel relief. Now, I go to maintain the improvement. Not only are they both great at what they do, this entire office makes me feel like I am part of the family. Ricky, Taryn and Gabbi are at the front desk and I am always so UPLIFTED when I interact with them. Not only do the doctors care about your physical health, but also your mental health and they are very engaging and loving. Thank you both for all you have done!!!! read more

I literally recommend this office to anyone that even hints to me that their back/neck hurts- my life has completely transformed since I agreed to take my health seriously & invest in MYSELF with LifeWithin chiropractic care. The entire staff is wonderful- every one of them is pleasant, supportive, uplifting, understanding, caring and loving. I love seeing their faces and connecting with them when I visit the office every week. I leave with a higher vibration & a knowing that I am cared for by the best chiropractic team around. There's no comparison. I played sports for years when I was younger & grew up with chiropractors and physical therapists...truly, nothing compares to the care I've gotten over the last 8 months at LifeWithin. I believe it's because LifeWithin looks at the entire well-being of each person who walks through their door. They have free educational meetings for their patients & they're constantly asking questions that provoke health conscious thinking. They empower their patients to live as their best Self. I am all about their philosophy & the fact that they call their care "love"- Dr. Marc always asks, "you ready for your love today?" before he adjusts me. And that's what this care is... Love. What care in the world is possibly BETTER than THAT?!!!!! read more

If you are skeptical about chiropractic care... DONT BE. Life Within goes above and beyond on so many levels. For starters their customer service is excellent! From the front desk (Taryn and Ricky) to the Doctors! I've been working with Dr. Katie for a couple months now and you can tell that she truly loves what she does. She has a killer memory, calls you to check in on her off time, and HELLO can you say AFFORDABLE CARE. They are not pushy here at Life Within they truly are just watching your back for ya! I have been skeptical for many years about chiropractic care. But after a car accident I booked a last minute appointment 8pm, and she saw me he next morning. I now go 2-3 times a week. Let me tell you... My sleep has never been better! I have a stronger immune system. Most importantly I can recognize where some of my pain is coming from and learn how to work it out with the help of Dr. Katie's tips. And her hands! I am truly thankful for all of the crew at Life Within Chiropractic, you will be too! read more

After my twins were born a sharp and chronic pain developed down the back of my right leg and I was desperate to get some relief. I stumbled on Life Within in my research and am so grateful for Dr. Marc and his team as after several months of treatments the pain went away completely. Ideally I would have kept up some level of treatments but ... life. Anyway, the pain in my leg returned and now I am back and it's already so much better! Don't live in pain! Go get treated at this wonderful place. I can't recommend it enough! read more

I have been very skeptical about going to a chiropractor for quite some time, but I would over hear members at my work talk about how they felt whole again after chiropractic work. I am on the Kings basketball team as a dancer who has had pain in my knee since August, and I saw them crediting Dr. Katie Schlein. I reached out to her and she gave me fully detailed answers to my questions so I gave it a shot. My knee felt weird at first with the adjustment and then all of a sudden, since Wednesday my knee feels like it is a part of my body again. I look forward to seeing where this goes and as a hard hitting dancer in her 30's, this so far feels like the right path. Thank you Dr.Katie! read more

This is my first experience with Chiropractic. Dr. Marc was referred by a friend. I have been seeing him for the past four months and he has made a significant impact on my life. He found the source of my pain and was soon able to relieve my discomfort. I continue to see him on a regular basis for maintenance. The staff in the office is very friendly and helpful. Thank you for the great service you provide. read more

Life within is life! I cannot say enough good things about this practice and Dr. Boris Cicak!

On gratitude Thursday I wanted to thank you for changing my life. In gratitude Patrick Haggerty

I have been visiting Dr. Marc for the past five or so years - I travel extensively, and suffer from airplane seat and driving fatigue............ Dr. Marc is the absolute best! And the staff is wonderful, as are all the new docs who have joined. I cannot say enough about the relief I have gotten since visiting this practice - it's awesome! Thank you all for improving my day, and my health...:) read more

Doctor Marc exudes confidence and skill to his patients. Just going to the office make you stand up straighter and feeling like a new person. Their holistic approach teaches you to think positively and always take care of yourself. I am a long term patient with a bad back whose well being is dependent on my weekly visits. I cannot believe how little the sessions cost weighed against the benefits one receives. read more

I love me some Lifewithin chiro. I admit i was a little curious about the style of this office. my past experiences with Chiro was more exclusive with 1 doctor and a small room and a table and lots of charts and lots of adjustments. this office has a new style i was not familiar with. I now bring myself and the rest of the family as much as my busy schedule can handle. its not for everyone in the sense that some people like lots of attention and will pay extra for that. to me , this is perfect , great combination of its not only affordable but it doesnt take 1 hour per visit. Also If you have some injuries or something special you need extra attention they make that available no problem. anyway , alas i digress. This is a great office , check it out. read more

I get it, you're on the fence. You've been experiencing some type of pain or discomfort and someone somewhere suggested seeing a chiropractor, but you're hesitant. You're probably thinking that you can crack your own back, that you don't want to hear a bunch of bullshit blah blah blah, and wondering what a chiro could possibly do to fix you. Listen, check this place out. Dr. Katie has been a step above awesome and it's pretty apparent that she's passionate about what she does and your health and wellness. You come in for an adjustment but what you're really getting is some preventive maintenance with a care team. Look, Yelp isn't going to help you find the answer to your problems, what is going to help you is getting assessed and cared for by Dr. Katie. You already wasted time reading this review, so go on, make the call and set up that appointment. read more
