Testimonials
Your Success Stories, Our Passion
So far I have been very happy with the regiment that Clint has setup for me. I have a knot which has been causing me enormous pain for almost 2 years. I have tried a LOT of different things, but the work we have put in is making a difference. It's a complicated problem with pain moving around my entire body, and each time I get adjusted, and new exercises it slowly decreases how often I feel it. Which is worth every dollar.
Matt H.
Chronic Pain Conqueror
My life simply wouldn't be the same without Dr. Serafino! Combine his knowledge with his level of caring and you get an experience that is unmatched. Although all my physical problems aren't 100% fixable, Clint has helped me understand that there are ways to manage my pain and still live a healthy and active lifestyle. He truly cares for his patients and their well being.
Joshua J.
Empowered Health Manager
When dealing with my shoulder and low back pain I sought out Clint after a few experiences with doctors and other PTs telling me to take it easy and use it less. I am extremely active and maintain that lifestyle for mental health more than physical health. Clint took the time to understand my goals and helped me to not only recover but to become stronger in the process.
Daniel W.
Active Lifestyle Maintainer
Clint is worth the investment. I have been to chiropractors and they take my money and I still have pain.
After I saw Clint 6 visits, I can swing my hammer, I can carry materials at work, and I don't have anymore pain.
Rene G.
Clint assessed my 16year old sons overall physical health to determine what caused the pinching pain he'd been experiencing. He gave him at home exercises that solved the problem as well as options for a more extensive work out regimen addressing proper form & efficiency.
Kristen S.
Clint is extremely knowledgeable about a wide range of treatment modalities and applies that expertise with kindness, compassion and patience. I have never worked with another therapist who is as dedicated to finding solutions as Clint is.
