 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been seeing Dr. Waugh monthly for an entire year now as a health maintenance routine and it's been very helpful. She has a great knowledge in her field and I especially like how she uses muscle testing as feedback.  Her activator adjustments are spot on and I feel balanced and refreshed when I leave the appointment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with Dr. Waugh for about five years now And I can truly not say enough for how much she has helped me! I have had some very serious injuries such as a broken neck and traumatic brain injuries from sports, and so I have worked through so many different types of doctors and chiropractors over the years and she really balances me out and gets me set straight on every single visit! She’s my angel, I highly recommend you check her out! She’s helped me get over black mold, she is helped me with nutrition and spinal stability and overall really just does what I need! Thank you so much, Dr. Waugh!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I moved to Florida 4 years ago with back and knee issues.  They became much worse after the move.  Dr. Waugh has created miracles because I am able to function normally with only occasional issues now.  Highly recommend her for treatment!
