This isn't a day spa, so know what you're walking into. This is an older office building, entrance is around back. Parking is easy. My first issue: no working restroom. Before an hour long "relaxing" treatment it's hard to relax if I didn't have a restroom. Staff had no recourse. I was told I'd need to drive to the local grocery store! My husband got a massage, and had pretty tepid review (fine, not great).

I got a facial, which was new for me. I didn't find it relaxing (constant ticking timer going off, foul smelling creams). I don't think I'll be back to this facility. I'm told they are best for chiropractics. Staff was perfectly friendly and kind, but ambiance and facilities weren't what I hoped for.

I had been looking for a new chiropractor in the area who took my insurance and had gone to a couple of places and had horrible experiences. Once I saw Dr Sarah McKay I knew I had found my new chiropractor! She is amazing at getting me unstuck, and I trust her to adjust my kids as well! The front staff are so nice, and the massage therapists are amazing as well.

Everyone at Sage Health are so nice & friendly. They know me by name which is a nice personal touch and I always get greeted right when I walk in. I've been to all the chiropractors in the office and they are all great and listen to your needs and help you get to the root of your pain issue. The massage are fantastic, I highly recommend Vanessa! I love having my monthly membership.

Sage Health is amazing! From the front desk staff to the chiropractors, massage therapists, and acupuncturists. I cannot say enough positive things. Very friendly and welcoming and so knowledgeable and experienced. Not to mention that my area of concern for over 2 years has been relieved in just over a month at Sage Health while little difference noted at another facility!

Ah, Dr. Sage and her team changed my life. Two years ago, I started having severe headaches, never having a history of such. My doctor pointed out the obvious: stress, and told me that I could reduce the causes of stress, but. I held so much stress bound in my skeletal-muscular system that I could not release that stress by myself. I would need deep tissue massage. Knowing that my insurance covered chiropractic and some associated therapies I searched for a group that included deep tissue massage. Sage Health looked good and close by. Dr. Sage patiently explained how chiropractic, massage, and other therapies worked.

Although new to me, it made enough sense to move forward. I felt the progress build: immediate muscle relief, better relaxion, sleep, and gradually lessened episodes of the headaches. Over a few months, I realized that I was a new person much better equipped for the stressful job (executive chef in a large hospital system) to which I was committed. I continue monthly maintenance appointments and am grateful for the deep connection with Dr. Sage and her team and the value they bring me in the quality of my life.
