Report
Dr. Robert Shortell is an AMAZING Chiropractor. He has worked on my neck and knee for years. Dr. Shortell is very professional, always strives for the best care for his patients, and has an extremely courteous staff. Very convenient hours for those who work, easy access right on/off the highway in Cromwell, and is super easy to get an appointment with. Dr. Shortell also is AMAZING with children. My daughter was limping for a few months, I mentioned it to Dr. Shortell, and he had her in the next day for a foot scan. Discovered her issues, put her in a shoe insert and she is walking again normally

Dr. Shortell was able to correct all of my many back and neck positional issues. The staff is always warm and welcoming and the experience is top notch. Dr. Shortell is actually trying to make you better not just pop you and schedule you for the next appointment like I remember my mom's chiropractor, oh so many years ago.
