In addition, Dr. Sklar’s compassionate and knowledgeable bedside manner always puts patients at ease. He is an invaluable member of the multidisciplinary oncologic care team.”

Our team has noticed very positive areas of feedback from our patients on their chiropractic experiences. Of particular note there has been significant improvement in symptoms from neuropathy of all degrees of severity. Several patients have noticed an improvement after the first treatment. The other major area has been in lessening chronic pain. Some of our patients have commented that they were so relieved to note another method to combat pain which is very effective. Keep up the terrific work!
