Why Choose Us?

Some doctors' offices treat you like a number or the next "case." We treat you like a person because you are unique - and we love that about you!

You're Greeted By Name, Not By Your Insurance Card

We Don't Have a Waiting Room - We Have a "Reception Area"

Want a healthy snack, bottled water, or a cup of coffee? We've got you! A smile? We've got plenty! And we believe you didn't come to us to sit waiting 30, or 45 minutes, only to be ushered to another room where you sit and wait some more. We'll respect your time. Expect your first visit to be an hour or less, and future visits to be about 15 minutes—always efficient, never hurried. If you're ever in a rush yourself, just let us know, and we'll expedite your care and help you get on with your day.

Minimal Paperwork, Maximum Care

Forget the iPad full of forms or stacks of paperwork. You can expect one page (two at most), and then we'll gather additional information through conversation. We want to understand your concerns, hopes, needs, and dreams so we can not only treat the case, but also respect and connect with you as a unique person.

Dr. Daniel Shaye

Dr. Shaye grew up around his uncle and father, both chiropractors. He didn't have to worry if he had a headache or injury; his father would just adjust him, and get him back to work, play, or recreation. As a college athlete (cross country/track) the stress on his body was great, but his dad was always there to help him heal naturally. Dr. Shaye's interest in the human body and serving others led him to follow the family tradition and become a chiropractor.
