I made an appointment with Dr. John Convey as a last ditch attempt to avoid having to return to a daily regimen of antibiotics. I went in with an open mind but no expectations. As soon as I walked into Evolve, however, I knew I had made the right decision. The treatment was fantastic. Dr. Convey possesses the two qualities I'd been looking for in an ideal physician but haven't found until now: top-notch expertise and genuine concern. Just a few minutes speaking with him about my condition revealed the depth of his knowledge and training. And though he's an expert, I always felt that he was speaking with me, not down to me. Instead, I felt like I was with a doctor who knew his role was to help and inform me, not dictate a specific course of action. That makes a world of difference. The one quality that truly sets John apart from other doctors is the care he exhibits the moment he steps into the room. Having a doctor who's concerned with the entire person and not just the symptoms that brought him in are critical. It's why I trusted him immediately. His genuine concern for my overall well-being was authentic and was evident throughout the entire treatment. Since that initial treatment, I'm happy to say that I've been able to stay healthy without daily antibiotics! As a bonus, I've now found in John a trusted partner in maintaining my health. I feel comfortable seeing him for nagging injuries in a timely manner instead of aggravating them into major health issues, a practice I was guilty of with other physicians because my lack of comfort with them made me avoid them. Not so with John. I put my body through the paces in my daily workouts, and getting a treatment is not only a "tune-up" that allows me to continue going hard at the gym week after week but also a nurturing, relaxing reward I happily allow myself to indulge in on a regular basis. I highly recommend John to anyone looking for a partner to improve or maintain their health and well-being.

I went in with a twisted knee.......in pain.................and in a bad mood!! I came out with barely a limp,and feeling like I had taken a vacation. I saw Dr. Convey,and cannot sing his praises enough.Empathectic and knowledgeable,he immediatly put me at ease,and with the soft music and sounds of the outdoor fountain......I could finally relax! Apart from a painless treatment,I was surprised to find that Dr.Convey included the soothing practice of Reiki............mmmmmm! But most importantly,my swollen painful knee, was a memory!!! It might not be 100%-but in 1 treatment,I was amazed!! A big thumbs up to Dr Convey and his awesome office staff...................these are the kinds of secret places that make this city such an awesome place to live.

As entering Evolve Wellness you start to feel the positive, thriving energy of the clinic...Gretchen welcomes you with a smile and escorts you to a treatment room. The interior of the room is warm and inviting...even a heated bed! However, Russell Brown is the driving force behind what I experienced to be one of the best, comprehensive and relaxing treatments I have ever had. I have been receiving treatments for the last 15 years from a variety of different providers. Russell truly is gifted with hands that heal. I was experiencing a severe episode with a chronic herniated disc condition I have. I was having trouble walking or standing without pain. After my first session with Russell, I walked out of the clinic with 80% of the pain gone! He had me come back in two days for a follow-up and treatment. Knocked-out the pain completely...I now see him every week and am still feeling great. He's one of the best acupuncturist out there! Check him out.

Pros: Parking in back...Russell Brown LAc....takes insurance!

Cons: Haven't experienced any : )

I have tried numerous chiropractors to solve my neck pain but it never went away. My friend told me to try acupuncture and my neck stopped hurting. Go see John and you'll never feel better.

Pros: Professional, Pain Free
