Appointments with Dr. Jandial are timely, easy and thorough. I know that he will stop at nothing to make sure he has done everything he can to help. For instance, during my last appointment I had something out of place in my back that was not wanting to go back into place. Dr. Jandial tried several different adjustments until one finally worked to get it back into place. I rely on his care to keep my body functioning properly, and would recommend his services to anyone looking for a great and experienced chiropractor.
