What 78756 patients say
“Skeptical at first - I'd tried two other chiropractors for trigger point. Dr. Stubbs actually explained what was wrong and gave me a timeline. He was right.”
“When I moved to Austin I was sure no chiropractor could compare to my DC. Dr. Stubbs filled the void and then some - quality trigger point care plus stretches and rehab for weak areas. He always makes time and calls to check up. I'd recommend him to anyone in 78756.”
“My whole family drives from 78756 - about 18 minutes - because we trust Dr. Stubbs. He remembers our names and our histories.”
