Dr.Tia is an amazing physician. She has helped me tremendously in my slow recovery from being rear ended in a car accident which caused multiple problems with my physical state. Her soft spoken voice, light touch and method of treatment has made a positive impact on my recovery. I recomend those that have pain to seek Dr.Tia for help.
