You walk in and you instantly know you are at a proper clinic. From the front desk staff, to the cleanliness of the treatment rooms/areas and the bedside manners are above standard. The group of individuals working here clearly care about taking care of you and ensuring you are feeling better from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave.
I have been coming here for several weeks now. It’s always clean, staff are incredibly pleasant and helpful, and most of all it is helping me. I have had lower back pain since my teens, and it is finally improving a bit at a time. Dr. Cregg is excellent, and so is Manish – these are the two I’ve been seeing and I’m sure the others are just as good.
Dr. Camastra and her team are the best! In the past 18 months, she has helped me with persistent head and neck aches through acupuncture, and rehabilitated a herniated disc in my back. If you are serious about your health and well being and want a trusted professional, go see Dr. Camastra and the lovely folks at Oshawa Chiropractic & Physiotherapy Wellness Centre.
