What patients say about Rancho Bernardo
Michael knows his stuff....he can explain why things work the way they do and is way more interested in why you have what you have not that you do. What is the root cause... He is patient and kind and wants to help you most of all.
Michele J.Google · Rancho Bernardo: read all Google reviews (opens in a new tab) An ongoing shoulder issue brought me to Makari. The first visit was very informative. I have a better understanding of the injury and looking forward to exercises, rehab, and acupuncture. Michael was extremely sympathetic and encouraging.

TammyYelp · Rancho Bernardo: read all Yelp reviews (opens in a new tab) ART & Dry Needling took my injury recovery and rehab to the next level. I was able to complete a half marathon 2 years after injury with a faster time than the previous 4 years. The services are not just for rehab, but a great resource for maintenance check ups for athletes at all levels.
