“My first experience was awesome!
Dr. Jazz had great bedside manners.
I thought I was stuck with the pain in my shoulder and hip forever. After one session with Dr. Jazz, I am pain-free! I highly recommend Dr. Jazz for all your aches and pains!”
“I have been amazed by Dr. Jazz and the extent of her knowledge about sports injuries.
She has already helped a number of our members at II XCL, and she continues to be a tremendous asset to us. We are proud to be partnered with her, and I personally will continue to see her for my training-related issues. She is professional, extremely capable, and very relatable. I definitely recommend her services.”
"I was so nervous, but Dr. Jazz made me feel comfortable the moment she greeted me.
She thoroughly explained everything, which was very helpful since dry needling was new to me.
She followed up with me, and I appreciate that. I had actually forgotten about the procedure because I haven’t felt the discomfort since!”
