“I’ve been seeing Dr. Levin for numerous problems. Extreme hip and leg pain brought me to the office. Besides that, I had problems with my right hand, both feet and lower back. Dr. Levin treated me for all areas.
I have never had a healthcare provider who spent so much time with me. Dr. Levin not only treated me in the office, but sent exercises home with me, called several times between appointments to see how I was doing, and researched my symptoms for possible cause. I truly felt better after just the first appointment, but have booked several since because it took me years to get in the bad shape I was. I didn’t expect miracles after one treatment. That said, Drs. Levin and Chellen’s philosophy is that they want their patients to not need their services in the future. Levin and Chellen Chiropractic is the most personal, respectful, and helpful clinic I’ve ever been connected with and recommend the doctors highly.”

“It can be difficult to find a Health Care Provider that actually listens to you. Dr. Chellen is kind, extremely knowledgeable, and profoundly helpful. I never feel rushed, and always leave feeling well taken care of. I had a complicated Worker’s Comp/Personal Insurance situation that they handled with ease. Attentive care in warm, inviting offices – would recommend to anyone. In fact, I sent the rest of my family there!”
