The only doctor you'll see here.

Dr. Sara examines, treats and re-checks every patient in this clinic herself. If she saw you the week of your accident, she is the one adjusting you six weeks later — and she remembers what your neck did on day one.

In her words

Why chiropractic

My journey into healthcare started with a simple curiosity about how the human body works. Growing up, I always knew I wanted a career dedicated to helping people feel their best, but it wasn’t until high school that everything clicked. During that time, I had the opportunity to job shadow several healthcare professionals to see what a day in their lives looked like.

When I shadowed a chiropractor, I immediately saw something different. It wasn’t just about treating symptoms; it was a completely unique, hands-on approach to wellness that felt incredibly cool and forward-thinking. Witnessing how chiropractic care could naturally unlock the body’s potential completely changed my perspective on healthcare. That defining moment sparked my passion, and I knew right then that I wanted to spend my life helping patients discover this dynamic, hands-on path to vibrant health.

“I have always known that I wanted to help people. As a chiropractor and acupuncturist, I have the ability to help people with a variety of conditions. I hope that everyone feels like they are part of our family here. I love to take care of patients of all ages and backgrounds. I have additional education in animal chiropractic, nutrition and a personal trainer.”

Crash injuries are both medically real and legally contested, which is why the work here is deliberately methodical: measure it, write it down, re-check it. Patients get the benefit of that either way — nobody guesses whether you are better.
