Comprehensive Wellness Center - Chiropractor San Marcos at a glance
Customers frequently praise the center for punctual appointments, clean facilities, and staff who communicate thoroughly during chiropractic, acupuncture, and massage services. Many patients report significant relief from chronic pain and post-surgical stiffness, noting that practitioners take time to explain treatments and adjust care plans. One low-rated review alleged dishonest business practices and poor management, though this criticism stands alone among the predominantly positive feedback regarding professional care and patient comfort.

I love going to Dr Reich because I know he sincerely cares about every one of his patients. I have been in many of uncomfortable and painful situations from a rib misplaced, sciatica, tmj and more. I am grateful to have chiropractic care! I feel very comfortable referring my friends to Comprehensive Health & Chiropractic.

Dr. Al-Ashi has been amazing! He is very professional and welcoming. He takes your care and wellness seriously which comes across in very visit. He was the only one to provide me with serious relief from Vertigo and worked with me until it was completely resolved. He has helped my posture and a hurt back that three rounds of PT did not touch. The office is clean and the receptionist is a delight! Highly recommend.

Comprehensive Health & Chiropractic is a great place! They have two wonderful chiropractors with different methods that both work amazingly. And the massage therapist is truly gifted! I thought I would live my entire life in pain until I started coming here. And my husband who works all day in a labor intensive job has been completely healed from regular visits. Thank you, Dr. Doug, Dr. Alashi, & Judy!
