After almost 3 weeks of chiropractor and family doctor care with no relief or results for that matter. I finally received some results because x-rays were actually taken. Now I have new things to try in order to feel better. John Shepard was very thorough and explained everything in a very detailed manner. I'm so glad I made the trip there!

John Shepard was professional and informative. The treatment he prescribed has already reduced the pain in my foot within the first 24 hours of when I was seen at the clinic. John, as well as everyone who cared for me that day i.e. nurse, radiology technician and Ariana at the front desk were professional, pleasant, great communicators with positive attitudes. That is why I always find myself going back to Raleigh Ortho for my orthopedic needs. Many thanks to all of you for truly being dedicated professionals!
