I had an excellent experience. I received much more care than expected. Dr Jackson was great at breaking down information and offered multiple suggestions to help with better posture, strength imbalances and overall back health. He's the type of Doc that I never want to see often, however I'm so thankful for his expertise, when needed. I wish all Doctors were as knowledgeable as Dr Jackson.

Dr Jackson is amazing. There was a lady at front desk who told me he only deals with Spine issues. But Dr Jackson truly cares about the whole person! I have seen him off and on since 2004. He has a terrific Team led by Sarah who has been at FOI 20+ years as has Dr Jackson.
