Sebastian G.

I have been coming here for about 4 years on and off and have been recieving the best care possible. Yakov is wonderful and caring and so is the staff. On days that I’m in the most pain they always do as much as they can do and to add to that he even takes the time to call me at home to check on my condition

Cher Beauchamp

I am very impressed with the help that I service at Determination. They actually remember the clients names, stick by your side the entire time and make sure that you receive the proper treatment. Every time that I leave this place I feel 100 times better. Highly recommended.
