Dr John Grassam is the best. He is extremely knowledgeable and skilled chiropractor. He takes time to talk, diagnose. He listens and ad answers your questions. He explains the treatment alternatives without pressure and makes you feel comfortable. As he does the procedure he explains what he is doing. I'm 100% satisfied with my treatment. thank you.
