Went in to get a neck pillow. Office staff is exceptionally nice. I personally do go to a chiropractor in SE Lincoln due to where I live, however I appreciate that Penny specifically asked what inspired me to inquire about chiropractic care.
Julie Maier • Apr 21, 2026
I am a new patient of Dr. Kepler and couldn't be happier with him and his staff! He is so professional, caring, and determined to help me with my problems with my neck and lower back. I had my first adjustment this week and felt better the next day.
