Chet was an excellent therapist to work with. He listened very attentively as I described the assistance I needed. He was a very down to earth guy and easy to talk to. Unlike most of the doctors I’ve worked with in the past, Chet actually LISTENED. At the end of the session he made some suggestions that I immediately went home and used which should be very helpful in resolving my issue.
