I would be extremely cautious about this place. I had an extremely weird feeling after I left my adjustment that I just could not shake. I was recommended this place for some prenatal care to help with a flare up of a previous injury and a breech baby (while 8 months pregnant). I went in on a Monday for an assessment, and then my follow up and adjustment later that Wednesday.
They do not bill insurance, as it is "cheaper" to just charge their patients which is extremely misleading. They do no have a billing department and only work with insurance up front if you've been in an automobile accident. The first initial appointment is $125, ($60 if you get a referral), then there is a $25 dollar fee to "release your results" and then an additional $60 dollars for the adjustment, (which means I spent $145 on just two appointments and that was with the referral) and $60 dollars each time afterwards.
Which seems reasonable enough, until I got my results. The doctor wanted me in there 3 times a week for 2 weeks, 2 times for 4 weeks, back to 3 times for 2 weeks and then once a week for 8 weeks postpartum. After my husband and I sat down and went over the care plan that I was given, the total bill for this place was 2x MORE THAN MY PRENATAL CARE BILL with my midwife.
Huge red flag to me, please tell me why I would pay more for chiropractic adjustments than my midwifery care for myself and my baby? That feels predatory. On top of that, they "REQUIRE" a "special appointment", with "NO EXCEPTIONS" on attendance (actually stated in paperwork), where you come in on a Wednesday evening to really learn more about your care plan (?).
Extremely strange to me, and it rubs me the wrong way when ANY healthcare provider states something is to be done with "NO EXCEPTIONS", as if they are talking down to you or as if they are not there being paid BY YOU to care FOR YOU. Upon my assessment, the doctor told me my pelvis was tilted which is probably why my baby didn't want to settle head down just for an ultrasound later the same day to tell me that my baby had flipped and was head down.
I've seen another review on here mentioning the masks issue, which the doctor did mention she would wear one if I was comfortable with that but even if she was wearing one, the entire remainder of the office is still uncovered and the adjustment space is SHARED. If that's your thing, cool. They state this on the outside of their office, cool. But pregnant ladies be mindful of this because they are not upfront about it until you walk into their office and you're already there. Overall bad, predatory vibes, which caused me to pull away entirely.

I absolutely love everyone here. They are so friendly and amazing with kids. Anytime I'm getting scans or something done they are so good to help watch my baby. They're also very professional and SO informative. Adjustments helped my new born with his spitting up, were a major factor in my successful VBAC homebirth with a quick 3hr labor, and have done wonders for my jaw and stress. Can't say enough good things about them. Definitely recommend, especially when your are pregnant and as part of your postpartum care! Thank you so much!

We LOVE everything about this place! The Dr.'s, the front desk, everyone and everything! My little one has had major improvement in his general wellness and happiness and I m so grateful for all the help we've been provided by this office! We discovered things like tongue and lip ties we otherwise probably wouldn't have found out about until much later in his life but we were able to get things figured out much sooner thanks to the Drs and referrals here! Thank you!

We absolutely love it here! We have been bringing our now 7 month old baby here since she was about 5 months old and it has made such a difference in her life. We have been able to start working through tension in her body and digestive issues. We also found that she had a tongue tie that needed revision which has helped so much. My husband has also started care and is already noticing small changes in his back!
All of the staff is amazing and just so sweet. We love Dr. Jasmin, she is so great with our baby! We have also had experience with Dr. Cody and Dr. Lawrence who are also both fantastic. I can't recommend this office enough! They truly focus on getting your body to optimal function and health and you can tell that they really care!

Dr Lawrence has helped me with my chronic sciatic pain I developed during my last pregnancy. I also suffer with chronic pelvic pain and I've noticed my pelvic floor has felt so much better with the combo of chiropractic care with my pelvic floor physical therapist. I've noticed parts of my body that have just felt off feel so much better! So grateful I found this place.

This is definitely the most unique chiropractor office we have ever been to, and I mean that in a great way! They have been so detailed with my daughters care (she has Lyme and a lot of issues with her spine) and they have been gentle yet so effective! We have been coming for a month now and I feel like we struck gold here. I would not hesitate to reccomend!
My teenage son also has curvature issues and we are starting his care now as well. I have seen each practitioner and they are all awesome, and we are comfortable with any of them!

We love Dr. Cody at Family First Chiropractic! We started taking our 2 month old there a few weeks ago and have seen significant improvements. He wasn't able to turn his head to the left very easily and now he will play and turn his head back and forth over and over. He also enjoys his car seat a little more because his head isn't so stuck to the right.
It's also improved bowel movements and sleep SO much! His sleep was so erratic and he wouldn't stay asleep very well and now he's almost sleeping through the night. Everyone there is so nice and knows us by name. We feel very comfortable there. Highly recommend to anyone I know!

I couldn't have loved working with Kristina more! She was very personable, and so great to work with. She helped me find answers to many questions regarding why my body was acting the way it was. She is especially knowledgeable about treating pregnant and postpartum mothers for a variety of issues that come from having children. She was an answer to many many prayers of how to fix my body after babies!

Kristina Stitcher is the chiropractor to go to while you're pregnant. Do you your hips hurt? ribs? How about your pubic bone? Not after Kristina gets her magical hands on you. I thought all my aches and pains were just the misery of pregnancy, luckily they're not! Go see her, you'll be amazed how much better you feel. I walked in her office feeling crippled and left walking with no pain what so ever. Now I'm going to her for post-partum, she's helping me put everything back where it once was. Yay! for Kristina.
