Dr McQueary is very knowledgeable when educating and explaining treatment options and plans. The facility and equipment are always immaculate. I’m early on into my treatment plan but already notice the difference, sadly over time we condition ourselves overtime to live with pain but it doesn’t have to be that way. Check out Dr McQueary, you will be surprised by how many different conditions actually improve with thoughtful insight and treatment.
I'm not one to leave reviews but I think people need to know how my visit was. I have been to other chiropractors and not a good experience and was not really expecting any difference here, but how I was wrong. First thing is the staff was ok like normal. The big thing was Dr McQueary he treated me with belief and listened. He never once rushed or did I ever feel rushed. He explained and gave the impression of someone who truly wants to help. He seemed very smart, patient, kind, and concerned which is rare these days. Yes this was my first visit but I have never felt more in the hands of a Dr that wants me better as much as I do. So I recommend everyone who needs a chiropractor to visit The Ridge-Dr. McQueary.
I spent decades of my life not believing in chiropractors. All of the stereotypes, I don't have to elaborate.
I'm athletic, I work hard in the gym, I take care of my body ... and finally, I had a distinct injury to my neck doing an intense deadlift and HSPU workout. Because of proximity to my workplace, I decided to give Ridge a chance. Over the next few months more happened and this is the list ...
1) Neck spasms and pain from weightlifting injury - Corrected
2) Spinal Curve (unknown for years) - Corrected
3) Acute Spinal disc injury (ultimate frisbee with high school kids at church) - Corrected
4) Knee Pain from heavy weightlifting - Corrected
I'm yet to come into the office with something they can't treat and for my age, I do some silly stuff athletically.
If you have aches and pains, please try this before you get on pills or start with other treatments.
I had legitimate pain and injuries that were 100% corrected through care at The Ridge Chiropractic. My issues will be addressed here before I take them anywhere else for the rest of my life. No hesitation.
Hands down Dr. Levi is the best chiropractor that I have ever been to, in my life; and I have been to some great chiropractors, but Levi is on a whole different level. Thank you so much, my back killed me for four months, and I am so grateful for you taking that pain away.
Months later, and I still am able to move, sleep, work, and do things that I have not been able to do without having pain. At "The Ridge Chiropractic," the entire staff are absolutely phenomenal. They are always friendly, smiling, and they enjoy helping others. If you haven't been there yet, I highly recommend that you go try it out.
These people are absolutely amazing all of them. Dr Levi makes you feel so welcome and so does the staff great atmosphere and he most definitely can make you pop

I had a great first experience at The Ridge Chiropractic! Dr. Levi and his staff were so warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They took the time to listen to my concerns and explain everything clearly. I came in with radiating neck and shoulder pain and started chiropractic care, decompression, and shockwave therapy. I already feel so much better! I’m very happy with my experience and would highly recommend Dr. Levi and his team!
Had an amazing experience! Dr. Levi truly goes above and beyond to make sure you are well educated on your issues. I have been dealing with numbness down my leg and was recommended decompression to help with my disc issues in my lower back along with shockwave to break up the scar tissue as well. I haven’t felt relief like this in years! 100% would not go anywhere else.
I can’t thank Dr. Levi and his staff enough for everything they have done for me! I’ve had such a great experience at this office and have seen incredible results from the combination of chiropractic adjustments, non-surgical spinal decompression, and shockwave therapy.
The decompression and adjustment combination has made a huge difference for me and has eliminated the debilitating migraines I used to experience. I’ve also noticed that regular adjustments have helped with my allergies, and I honestly feel healthier overall—I’m never sick anymore!
The shockwave therapy has been another game changer. I had an ankle injury back in high school that I never thought would get better, and thanks to the treatment, I’ve been able to get back into running, something I truly never thought I’d be able to do again.
Dr. Levi and his entire staff are caring, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping their patients. I’m incredibly grateful for everything they’ve done for me and would absolutely recommend this office to anyone looking for a great chiropractic team!
