There’s no one better in the business than Summit Health Group. I’ve been going there for a few years now and have experienced so much positive change. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Give them a shot, you won’t regret it!

— Stephen L.

Carrie Sadler, PA and the entire support team at Summit Health Group are awesome. In about 3 short months since starting with them, my cholesterol and triglycerides have improved, I am current with all my routine health assessments, and I have lost 20 pounds. I feel ready to conquer my next adventure!

— Charlene A.

I suffered with debilitating pain that severely limited my mobility. Every excursion outside left me physically ill and exhausted. I happened to see a sign for Dr Shani’s office on his window one day and decided to stop in. They did a consult for me and listened to my numerous issues and their team came up with a treatment plan tailored to my complex problem set. After 4 months of seeing them I went from barely being able to make a short car trip to the mall to being able to take a 4 hour flight and walk the whole trip. My progress has been absolutely astounding.
