My experience at Summit Health Group, from the front desk to the PT staff, has surpassed any previous experiences in a medical setting. Not only has my back improved significantly since my injury, but the camaraderie and support of the staff make each visit a pleasure. Overall, my time at Summit Health Group has been exceptional, thanks to the expertise of Dr. Shani and his amazing team.

I’ve been coming here for a couple years based on a co-worker’s recommendation for primary and chiropractic care. They were able to see me as a new patient within 2 days after being hospitalized with COVID when no one else would call me back (not even my own GP)- I was in tears- Carrie Sadler spent over 1hr with me on that first visit, which I am so grateful. I’ve also had recurring chiropractic care over last 2 yrs with Dr. Shani for neck and back pain but feeling great now. I’m so grateful I found this place!

My experience over the past several years with the Summit Health Group has been exceptional. The combination of a welcoming environment, friendly staff, and patient and knowledgeable doctors has kept me coming back. Dr. Wilkes and Dr. Shani are the very best. I would highly recommend this doctor’s office to anyone seeking quality healthcare and a positive experience.
