I've had quite a few Massage therapist in my time. One I would swear by and never leave if I had a choice.. until I met Suzanne, she has been beyond amazing in my healing process and has literally made me forget all about the otheShow morers from before. She has a deep and intense Yoga knowledge and training which makes her almost supernatural in the healing experience. At the start of every session, with little knowledge of what maybe affecting you, instantly when she touches you she can read the energy of the issue and draws right to it. Her Yoga knowledge really knows how to pin point what it is and how to suppress the pain and cramping while relaxing your negative energy. I've never and I mean never experienced anything like Suzanne and her skills before. Your team should be proud you have found a true diamond in the rough. Just amazing, hands down the best ever. Thank you for that.

He was then accepted and completed his Doctor of Physical Therapy program from Hampton University in Virginia.

The care I get from Dr Porter is excellent. I would highly recommend him.
Dr. Porter is wonderful to work with. He can almost read what your body needs to be healed. He has a natural gift working with people. I have never had a better physical therapist in my life. I would and will recommend him to everyone.
I'll be very upset when he retires, he sets a high bar for patient care. I appreciate his knowledge and the honest conversations that can be had about my health. I'll be his patient for as long as possible.
Dr. Porter was extremely patient with me and was easy to talk with and understood what I need help with. I am glad that I am happy to be working with him.
Tara definitely can work ones muscles to a new whole level. I came in with all types of knots and stresses and bulges. I mean you name I had it. I think I gave her a workout and it was the first time we met too. I left in such a positive and better mood, very relaxed and although my stress was not gone, it surely diminished a whole lot then when I had first arrived, So Good!
Very professional staff and extremely knowledgeable.

Doctor Burt took care of the pain pronto ! Kind and gentle provider. Makes this nurse able to work.
Dr. Burt was very nice and did a great job explaining what was causing some very bad shoulder pain for me. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great chiropractor.
My visit with dr Thomas provided me with solutions for my problems.
Darius is wonderful. Friendly, knowledgeable, considerate and fun to work with.
I've been going to NW Wellness for over 30 years. Over these years I've been extremely happy with Lorri Nichols. When I used to play tennis I saw Lorri frequently because of falling down or twisting the wrong way. I'm always pleased to go in with pain and coming out with no pain.
Fantastic, magic fingers!!!
Northwest Wellness has a gentle, compassionate, safe energy and atmosphere. The providers are experts in their fields and are accommodating and kind. I've been going to this clinic off and on as needed for car accident injuries as well as some chronic health issues for over two decades. I've tried other clinics at times - for chronic health issues - and I always end up coming back to Northwest Wellness. Give them a try - you'll be glad that you did!
Dr. McCrea is excellent with her manipulation of my structure. Not only does she make me feel comfortable, but I can feel the affects of her adjustment the following day in a very good way.
Dr. Burt is very knowledgeable and gives a good adjustment.
Dr Thomas has always been very professional, knowledgeable and supportive. He is a patient centered provider who is thoughtful and caring. I highly recommend him!
Dr. Thomas is very thorough and relational.
Wonderful caring attitude, Dr. listened to my concerns and acted accordingly. Will definitely recommend your provider to anyone needing PT.
Very professional
How refreshing it is to have someone take a look at my whole life vs. symptoms. I felt like Dr Thomas really had a calming energy that kept me feeling safe
Has helped relieve neck and back issues after fall. Using cold laser for neuropathy in hands. Referred to physical therapy to address strength, coordination and confidence issues for walking and navigating terrain.
Wonderful doctor, always takes care of any problems
I went In feeling fine. Just a tune up and visit. I have been going there forever and they have saved me many times. It is family to me.
Dr Heron is wonderful, kind, and caring.
