Ayesha Akoodie
I have been going to Dr Taylor since 2016. Nothing but professional service and I have referred many people to him, all of whom have given positive feedback. His years of experience as a chiro is obvious and I always leave his practice feeling relief! No wild adjustments, no gimmicks and he is cautious, which always puts me at ease. Highly recommend.

Took my dad (76 years old) to Dr Taylor for his lower back issues, and once the treatment was done, he was a new person. Thank you Gabby and Dr Taylor for your amazing service! 😊
