Why We Are Different

One-on-one care every session

You’ll work directly with Dr. Rakestraw, not passed off to an aide or assistant.

Unrushed appointments

We take the time to listen, assess, and treat without the pressure of back-to-back scheduling.

Individualized treatment plans

Your care is customized to your unique body, goals, and recovery timeline.

Whole-person approach

We look beyond just symptoms to understand and treat the root of the issue.

Continuity of care

You’ll see the same provider each visit, so nothing gets lost in translation.
