Brayden & Aurora, Office Helpers

From time to time you'll see these little cuties in our office.

Brayden loves being here to help Mom  with "making patients feel better." He's always offering hugs, smiles, and if you're lucky his own special adjustment (and these are free of charge!) 

Aurora runs the office when she is here and is always willing to give you a hug and toddler adjustment. She will make sure she's the one who takes you into the adjusting room and will demand you lay down on the table. ​

If you ask Brayden who is the boss at the office, he'll tell you it's Marlene, and Dr. Ali agrees. This amazing woman runs the show and the behind the scenes. She's the friendly voice on the phone, she manages the busy schedule, and answers all those questions you may have. She really keeps us all in line and always has a smile that is contagious. She is a mother, wife, and our office wouldn't be complete without her.
