Debbie is a thoughtful and caring clinical who looks at all aspects of health to determine the best course of treatment. She is knowledgeable and explains the processes and decisions she makes to inform you of the care you're receiving. My chronic conditions are more manageable after seeing her regularly and I highly recommend her to everyone I know!!

Debbie is amazing in so many ways!! I initially saw her when I threw my back and nothing was helping after I tried everything. After 1 visit I finally had some hope for relief and if you have had back pain you know how tough that can be. She put me on a schedule and I felt back to normal in no time. I now see Debbie for regular maintenance and I’m so happy I found her!

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for coming across Deb. She exceeds my expectations each visit. She addressed musculoskeletal aches, gastrointestinal issues, and my overall well-being. She also scrapes (gua-sha) and cups me! I look forward to my appointments! Super knowledgeable and has a multi-disciplinary approach to help solve your problem!!

I have seen my good friend, Dr Debby for a number of issues that have all been resolved in the past year, including rashes, insomnia and lowering blood pressure. Today I had my first facial rejuvenation treatment and I feel and look refreshed! Thank you, Debby!
