I love Dr. Mendez! She is very in tune to my needs. The cupping needling she does has been a great help.

Dr Pare has been a favorite for years! He is so knowledgeable and helpful in not only adjusting but sharing overall well being tips to keep me healthy and my body working at peak levels.

My provider, Dr. Parr, listens to me and willingly work with me. He has been very helpful to remedy my pains and aches. Highly recommend him.

I was already very happy with this place, but they have gone above and beyond to help me overcome my injury (Dr. Pare and Dr. Mendez in particular). I appreciate that they use a holistic model and take the time to make sure you're getting what you need. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, collaboration between providers to help address my injury from all angles (needling, PT, massage), easy to schedule, clean office

Lakeside Wellness is the best wellness facility I have been to in years. Dr. Kiper is a miracle worker and the massage I got was transformative.

Roman Lahr has helped me out tremendously. He is not your typical, crack you back several times and send you on your way chiropractor. He makes a game plan on your needs and recovery. The goal for Roman is to make you better and not keep you coming back. What I do love about the office is there are individual rooms so you're not exposed to dozens of people walking around while your'e getting treatment.

The Dr. Pare and the Team at Lakeside are truly world class. From prompt scheduling to really thoughtful follow up, the team has really made what seemed to be an agonizing AC joint separation recovery- a smooth, painless and speedy one. High recommend and can't say enough praises about Dr. Pare! The relatable, down to other, and direct patient care is exactly what everyone needs in a doc!

Really nice experience. I went in after a couple of years of neck and back pain and Dr. Roman helped me get much better. Now I know what to do to prevent it and what type of exercises I can do to ease the pain when it gets back. I will definitely recommend Lakeside Spine and I will be coming back in the future.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Dr. Pare, he was incredibly informative and patient! I would definitely love to work with him again! The whole staff at Lakeside is very sweet, and always helpful to the fullest degree! Thank you all so much for the incredible experience!

They really helped! I was in excruciating pain in April. I was given a clear plan with goals that I focused on throughout the 6 weeks I went here. I continue to do exercises and premtive care to ensure the pain doesn't return. The Lakeside team really cares about their customers and would highly recommend anyone who is looking to improve their pain to go here!

I decided to come to this location based off of pure reviews and I was very happy that I did. I came in with shoulder pain which caused me the inability to turn my head to the left or right without pain. The doctors listen to me, provided me exercises to do at home as well as the usual adjustments. Happy to have exercises provided so that I can do my own maintenance in between sessions. I was also recommended to see their massage therapist which I was also a stellar experience and I almost fell asleep on the table.

After my suggested regime with the office I can now say that I am pain-free and they were also able to help me through some of my discomfort not only with my shoulder and neck but also I came to discover some discomfort in my hips and my wrist and I'm happy to say I no longer have pain in those areas either. Of all the chiropractors I've seen in my life as well as massage therapist I can't recommend this location enough, The team here is stellar not only the doctors, the therapists, but also the reception team everyone is extremely nice and courteous.

TL;DR: stop reading reviews and make an appointment already, you won't have any regrets. Went to Lakeside after I complained (few times) to my trainer (Hi QHB!) about IT band pain and she recommended them. During my first appointment and within 15 minutes, Dr. Pare decided that my leg pain was due to something wrong with my lower back/spine. I thought he was crazy. MY BACK ISN'T THE PROBLEM SIR! Five minutes later he had me do a stretch targeting my lower back and *magic*. the pain subsided significantly.

From that day forward, I've nicknamed him the wizard. In the following weeks, he helped me establish better form and breathing practices while focusing on healing my spine. I cannot compliment his professionalism, humility, knowledge and care, enough. At some point I thought I tore a muscle during a workout and sent him a note. Within a short time he replied with questions to learn more to better understand what happened and how to solve for it (and it wasn't even part of why I was going to Lakeside!).

Eight weeks later, I can confidently say that I not only healed my lower back but gained great knowledge on how to proactively ensure that it doesn't happen again. Aside from Dr Pare, every staff member went above and beyond to help with any questions I had: Catherine and Clay helped me sort out billing issues, scheduling, etc. and Ken made sure that he connected with Dr Pare (and me) before any massages so that he's working on the right part of the body. Can't sing enough praises to Dr. Pare and rest of Lakeside team. Thank you!
