"For the first time in years I feel hopeful about my ability to be helped with my pain. I’ve seen many practitioners in many fields and none were as thorough and explicit about what their part is in my recovery and supportive of what my part is. Their motto is “expect miracles” and I’m beginning to believe it’s true!"
- June L.
"The genuine warmth and smiles of the staff, Dr. Cameron and Dr. Paterna made me feel great without anything else. After Dr. Paterna adjusted me I felt even better! I could tell he and Dr. Cameron were genuinely listening to me and they didn’t make me feel rushed. Instead, they made me feel heard and that impressed me. Definitely coming back!"
- Genise S.
"Great “bedside manner”. I walked in with low expectations because of the duration of injuries I’ve sustained but I left with high hopes. I also feel confident that the treatment plan will help a great deal. Never felt rushed and the environment was calm. I usually dislike going to doctor’s appointments because they’re usually stressful but this visit was not. 10/10 would recommend."
- Alexus M.
"Dr. Paterna and his associates are gracious and professional and provide exceptional chiropractic care. Dr. Paterna spent a lot of time with me in the consultation/assessment/x-ray appointment and was very informative about the practice. He addressed all of my questions and concerns and carefully walked me through the results of my nerve scan on a computer. He then explained in detail how he could help me with my neck and back issues. After the first adjustment, I felt so much better and my symptoms decreased considerably. I am scheduled for my third adjustment and feel improvements physically and feel sharper mentally. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a practitioner."
- Helen M.

"I’ve seen several chiropractor’s and Dr. Paterna was the only one to explain in detail everything that was going on.
He explained why he performed specific tests, and took X-rays and also explained what I was looking at when he showed me my x rays. The staff was courteous and welcoming and thorough in explaining any paperwork that needed to be completed. Dr. Paterna’s professionalism and dedication to his practice are evident as soon as he welcomes you into the office. I would recommend him to anyone in search of chiropractic care."
