ExcellentBased on 323 reviewsAmy ShirleyJuly 22, 2024One thing I like about Dr. Graeme is the value you get out of each appointment. He does multiple things each time, and you always feel much better when you leave. I also really like the web booking option. It's great for people with irregular schedules.Soroush KhazraeiJune 27, 2024I've been seeing Liz for massages since 2016, and even when I moved to Edmonton for a few years for work, I kept driving to Calgary to see her. Highly recommend her services, and the clinic staff are also very professional and accommodating.Ryan MackenzieJune 7, 2024Great experience.

Thank you.Jun YoonMay 14, 2024I receieved Chiropractic treatment from Dr. Graeme for my low back pain. The pain was severe, so I wasn't able to do basic moves. After several treatment, I felt much better. Then now, after another several visit to the clinic, I believe that I almost recovered the best condition of my back. Dr. Graeme and every staff there are exceptionally empathic and professional. I didn't have to worry about how to express my symptom. They know what treatment and process I need to heal.Leanne GlassMay 9, 2024My experience seeing Dr. Schnell was awesome!
