“I have known Dr. Janet Maendel for years and I can say without any hesitation that she is a very professional, hard working and caring individual who pushes the “envelope” to get great results for her patients. She is well known by many and she makes every effort to gain further current knowledge by attending numerous medical conferences led by many well known experts from across North America.”
Our family has been seeing Janet for over a year now and hold fast to our belief that, without her, our day to day overall health would not be what it is now. We believe that her services have provided us not only physical health, but it also affects our mental health (ability to control anxiety), and immune health.
Not only are we blessed to have her as our practitioner, she is also a lovely person who cares for us, body, mind and soul. Her advice is knowledgeable, and always served up with compassion for the situation.
Thank you, Janet, for helping us in the ability to be the best humans we can be!!
Janet not only has much knowledge of how the body works but is also compassionate and sees you as an individual person with specific issues.
Janet is a conscientious and caring practitioner and will always take the necessary time to understand my case. Her diligent work is nothing short of pure excellence.
