Testimonials from All Walks of Life
For about 20 years I have suffered from chronic pain, primarily in my left buttocks/hip area. After many years, many doctors, many tests, and many treatments, Jo Terrell, my physical therapist, discovered that I had a stuck left ankle bone – probably from birth. She recommended Dr. D to me about 10 years ago. As I had previous experience with another chiropractor who cracked, forced, and bent my body in numerous painful ways, I was skeptical about going to another chiropractor.
What I found really surprised me! Dr. D’s techniques are gentle and effective. She has aligned, strengthened, and massaged my joints, tendons, and bones. Not only has she treated me for the hip pain, but also she has treated me for radiation effects from breast cancer, a vertebral fracture, several rear-end auto accidents, and accidental falls. Through it all, she has been supportive, loving, and patient as I continue to heal. Happily, I am feeling less pain (even pain-free periods), my body is stronger, and I am able to be more active and participate in activities I love. Needless to say, she has increased my quality of life.
Because I am so satisfied with her care and treatment, I have recommended Dr. D to others, including my husband, and will continue to do so – with no reservations. Those who come to her office are just as pleased as I and recommend her too. I keep her business card in my purse so that I can give it out – and I do frequently!
With much thanks and love to you all,

I have been coming to “Dr. D” for 13 years, a minimum of 1 time a week. Sometimes I come two times a week. As a high-level athlete and someone committed to health, I feel truly blessed to “play-work-get-treated” by Dr. D.
She is so unique. She has a feel for the body that is unmatched. She is like no other chiropractor-bodyworker I have ever worked with, and she is one of the greatest blessings in my life. I would, and have, recommended her to my father, sister, and closest loved ones and friends. I would recommend her to my enemies too, because if they came to her the world would be a better place. - Steve Gittleson I found Dr. D through my boss and friend. She raved about Dr. D and said she changed her life, both physically and emotionally. When I first went to Dr. D I was very impressed. She is very calming, gentle, caring and extremely intuitive. Even upon first meeting her, you feel like she has known you for a long time. I have gained much insight into issues I have and found new ways to cope and manage life’s ups and downs with Dr. D’s help. It is always a pleasure to take a break midday to see her. I would recommend Dr. D to anyone looking for guidance spiritually or emotionally, or even just someone interested in exploring themselves on a deeper level.
- Liza Malnik I’ve only been to one other Chiropractor, which was a long time ago. I was not impressed by the services of that doctor. A friend recommended Dr. D and she has been my Chiropractor ever since.
I come in to see Dr. D with lots of pain from chronic back issues. I am treated very professionally and am rid of the pain in usually 3-4 weeks. Despite chronic back problems, the chiropractic care I receive allows me to live a normal, active life. All of my loved ones use this practice – my husband, my son, and my daughter-in-law. I’ve told them how much it helps me, and it helps them too. - Betsy Gross |
I was wary about going to a chiropractor. I was worried about someone doing damage or making it so that I would have to see a chiropractor for the rest of my life. Dr. D has been wonderful. She has a knack for accurately determining what is out of alignment and gently adjusting the misalignments. I always look forward to my appointments with Dr. D. She has a great sense of humor and I always feel more relaxed and in better shape at the end of each session. Dr. D has a great demeanor and is a very gifted healer. I would recommend Dr. D to anyone.
The office administrator, Elizabeth, is warm and puts everyone at ease. It is a pleasure scheduling appointments and making payments. She is very accommodating. Late Monday and Thursday nights fit well into my schedule. - Marquette A. Dr. Shinkle's heartfelt wisdom and skillful treatment have helped me enormously. She is down-to-earth, gentle, and efficient. I trust her integrity. The staff is courteous, friendly, professional, and willing to help in any way, always working with the schedule to fit patients in when they need to come. The rates are quite reasonable. The office is cheerful, extremely clean and tidy, filled
with interesting books and art and comfortable chairs, and parking is easy and free. - Karen S. I have been receiving treatment from Dr. Shinkle on and off for 18 years. She has supported me through numerous life changes and the physical and emotional pain that often accompanies such change. She also provides excellent care for my three active children during periods of injury and for emotional stress. I have referred many friends to her for care and recommend her unreservedly.
- Erica H. I found out about Dr. Shinkle through my family and am very satisfied with the work she has done. Everything she does works! She is a lovely lady and I will recommend her to anybody, including my younger sister and elderly parents. Thanks Dr. Shinkle

Dr. D was recommended to me by a friend many years ago. I liked Dr. D’s style of chiropractic care and continued to see her for a while. She is friendly and checks to see how one is doing. Eventually work dictated my time and I stopped seeing Dr. D.
A few years later I decided to see someone closer to my home. This doctor practiced much differently. I went a few times and realized I did not like the approach. It made me feel worse.
Then about four years ago I was in a car accident and went back to Dr. D. Again she was great, both gentle and thorough. Dr. D is positive and shares encouraging stories. I have recommended Dr. D to many people. I tell them Dr. D is open and caring & she uses a different technique than many chiropractors. She does not start out “cracking your bones,” but uses a type of pressure tool (the activator), to assists moving the bones back in place.
