She truly cares about her patients and is very individualized with her treatment. She may ask me about diet, sleep, stress, pain, etc, any factors that may be contributing to what's going on. Her holistic approach is incredibly thorough while still efficient, and in my experience, the results speak for themselves! I am so grateful for her work and feel lucky to have such a skilled and compassionate practitioner here in North County, my village :) :) Highly recommend!

I was right about to start IVF when I learned about the benefits of doing acupuncture concurrently…read more Even though I reached out to Dr. Scarlett less than 3 weeks from when I was starting stims and also about to leave for vacation she went above and beyond to schedule a phone and in person consultation with me to discuss my needs and come up with a personalized treatment plan that worked around my busy IVF and busy work schedule. I had never done acupuncture before this and am not a big fan of needles, but Dr. Scarlett was extremely supportive and taught me a breathing exercise tip that helped me feel less anxious, that also ended up helping me while I was doing my stims at home. For the most part you barely feel the needles go in and she helped prepare me and was extra gentle for any that she thought I might feel more. The experience while the needles are in is extremely relaxing and meditative. Since IVF schedules are already overwhelming I wasn't sure if adding acupuncture appointments to the mix was going to make it more so, but it was the complete opposite. Overall, I felt that my acupuncture appointments gave me time I needed to be present and feel more grounded with my body and mind during a time when I was asking so much of it, and also gave me a positive association with needles. I responded well to the IVF stims with my only side effects being bloating (to be expected), the results of my retrieval being favorable, and my recovery being smooth. I truly believe that my IVF experience went as smoothly as it did thanks to the personalized treatment plan, tips, and encouragement Dr. Scarlett provided. I will definitely be back to Red Lotus/to work with Dr. Scarlett for all my future acupuncture wellness needs, cannot recommend her enough!

Background setup: Bruised my coccyx (butt bone), 2 months…read morelater injured myself twisting with weights + have had a persistent hip flexor low back pain combo. The result was an almost debilitating pain in my low back and sciatic nerve that demanded I take it easy and rest. Unfortunately, that's not really an option or preference for my lifestyle so I sought out professional help. Dr. Binder was the first chiropractor I had ever visited and, quite honestly, I was kinda stressed out about the whole crack it and pop it thing. I knew just a massage wasn't going to fix my injury that was a compilation of many other small injuries. Despite the vast size, the space feels immediately inviting when you walk through the doors. Dr. Binder was there to greet me right away and I was impressed with our one-on-one consultation & the comprehensive tests she used to assess what was actually going on with my back. She took the time to answer my questions while interpreting the results of my tests, calmed some fears and explained to me how the body responds to stresses, injuries & how receiving chiropractor care can help with so many ailments across the board. We moved over to the table and she told me exactly what she was going to do, what sensation I might feel & asked how I responded to each adjustment. She was thorough, strong & effective with her hands-on adjusts, yet gentle enough being it was my first time in her care. More than anything though, I could tell she was really trying to help me. She followed my adjustments up with a massage to the area, answered more of my questions for care until our next visit and I was on my way. We scheduled another appointment in a few days and within a week I felt back to normal. So it turns out taking it easy and resting is a requirement when dealing with injuries. There is no doubt in my mind though, that Dr. Binder helped accelerate my healing process, and for that, I am so grateful.

Right now, I'm 90% better. It's amazing how quickly releasing a muscle will stop the pain.

She's every bit the seasoned and knowledgeable professional. My daughter (age 13, ankle/foot issues) and I (age 52, knee/IT band/ hamstring/back issues) have been coming to Leah after both of us having less than fruitful experiences with PT prescribed from our orthopaedic doctors; cookie cutter experiences for both of us. Dr. Leah treats every patient like a VIP, listens attentively, asks leading questions, and creates a custom plan tailored for the individual. She fully focuses on helping people achieve restoration and full function rather than quick adjustments. I love the combination of hands-on work (no bone adjustments) and exercises that we can then do as "homework" each day. And if you're a dancer or former dancer, you're in luck. A former dancer herself, Dr. Leah not only "speaks the language" of dance terminology, but also can offer modifications for specific dance skills while rehabbing an injury/addressing a problem. As a dance teacher and someone with many past and current leg/hip/back issues, that's a game changer. Thank you, Dr. Leah!

Mayra is always helpful in trying to accommodate as best as possible, and offers to place me on the wait list for sooner available appointments that work better with my schedule. I've been going to Dr. Mike for over a year now, and it has been so beneficial. My initial appointment, Dr. Mike sat down with me, listened to my history and concerns and thoroughly completed his assessment. After the assessment, he made his recommendations for the areas that he would be focusing on and how frequently I should be starting out with the visits. After over a year of seeing him, with all of the techniques and tools he utilizes on my back, I have noticed great improvement in the way that I feel. I am now currently pregnant and continue to see him. At the beginning of each session, he sits down, asks how I've been feeling, and explains the changes in techniques as the pregnancy is progressing. He truly takes the time to make sure that you, as the patient, have an understanding of what he does, and ensures that you have any and all questions answered after every visit. I have also been seeing Lori, one of the massage therapists in office, and having the combination of a massage, as well as the adjustment is the best! Having both Lori and Dr. Mike work in the same office is beneficial as they work hand in hand and are able to coordinate if necessary. Lori does an amazing job; she is very intuitive, attentive and sensitive to what your body needs, offering just the right amount of pressure as needed. I highly recommend seeking adjustments with Dr. Sam or Dr. Mike, and massages at Foundation Chiropractic!

At my first appointment, Dr. Mike spent an hour on me doing a thorough assessment. His patience, kindness, and professionalism was evident from the very first day! I felt very comfortable with him from the start. I've been going in about once a week since my first visit and I have seen a gradual improvement in my spine and joints despite the continuously strenuous nature of my job. And, as of a few weeks ago, my husband who has neck and back issues has also started seeing him (he commutes from Poway). At every appointment, Dr. Mike does a combination of techniques to get the best result. Getting adjusted hasn't always been a pleasant experience, but somehow Dr. Mike makes it completely stress-free. And he never pressures me to come in more than I need to. When I called once, earlier than my weekly appointment because I felt like I had pulled something, he told me to wait and see if my body resolves itself before coming in. I feel like he genuinely cares for his patients. Mayra at the front desk is also very helpful and kind. The office is very easy to reach. I never have problems with scheduling; they are very flexible when it comes to same day appointments and switching times to accommodate your needs. The office is very clean and modern with a calming aesthetic. My hubby and I are happy with our treatments so far and thankful to have found Foundation!
