HML Chiropractic & Functional Care

Dr. Alex and Dr. Lauren at HML have been wonderful to work with. They are extremely knowledgeable and truly care about their patients. We loved our time with them through our sons intensive and look forward to continue working with them as a part of our son's team.

Dr. Alex and Dr. Lauren were able to help with the healing of my little one's g.i. issues. So thankful that we have found them. Only wish we did sooner!

I can’t say enough good things about Alex and Lauren and their team. I’m so grateful for the care my son has received here. The work they’ve done with him has made a noticeable difference in his development, and I’ve seen real improvement in how he interacts socially with other kids. The team is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in helping each child thrive. We’ve finished the program, but we still come in once or twice a month for maintenance and continued support. My son truly loves his visits and is always asking when we’re going back, which says so much about the positive environment they’ve created. I highly recommend them to any parent looking for supportive, professional care.

We began working with Dr. Alex and Dr. Lauren almost a year ago while seeking alternative treatment for our son’s severe GI issues caused by chronic stool withholding. He had previously been hospitalized under the care of a local children’s hospital and outpatient clinic. At the time, he would cry while holding his bowels, would only stand to have a bowel movement, and had been prescribed up to six capfuls of Miralax daily. This significantly impacted his daycare experience and emotional well-being, and we were only able to see his providers in person every six months. What we were doing simply wasn’t working. We started with twice-weekly Functional Neurology and Chiropractic appointments, and we saw improvements almost immediately. Our son stopped crying during bowel movements, we were able to eliminate the excessive Miralax, he began sitting on the toilet, and eventually no longer needed pull-ups. As he continued to progress, we gradually reduced visits to once weekly and then to maintenance care. During our visits, I began noticing the wide range of children being helped and learned more about their additional services. As a therapist myself, I was especially impressed by the support they provide for children with ADHD and behavioral concerns. Later, our older son experienced a traumatic brain injury affecting his frontal lobe. While we followed all recommendations from his neurology and behavioral health teams, including medication management, we felt there was more we could do. We decided to have him work with Dr. Alex and Dr. Lauren as well, and we quickly noticed improvements in his mood, impulsivity, and emotional reactivity—especially during times when his medication would previously wear off. I highly recommend HML Functional Care to any family looking to support their child in a more proactive, whole-child way than the traditional healthcare system often allows. Dr. Alex and Dr. Lauren are incredibly kind and knowledgeable, the facility is clean and welcoming, and scheduling is easy. We are grateful to them.

This place is truly a gift from above to us. If it weren’t for the incredible work of Dr. Alex & Dr. Lauren, we wouldn’t have the hope and knowledge we do for our severely disabled child. We fly out from California every year to spend a week with them and I leave wishing it could be longer. They have changed our son’s quality of life for the better in so many ways and given him such joy. When other healthcare professionals tell you there is no more to be done, Dr. Alex & Dr. Lauren gives you tools and treatments that will change that narrative. They did the most thorough neuro exam on our son that has ever been done (even after seeing many many MDs & therapists) and describe his development in the most articulate manner we have ever heard. We feel honored to have them work with our son and we are forever grateful for the work they do.
