"I met Dr. Nick after he helped my infant daughter and decided to go in for an appointment myself... My adjustments worked wonders and I hope to continue the progress with the help of Dr. Nick."

Expecting moms, newborns, toddlers, teens: Dr. Lauren Mayes adapts every exam and every adjustment to the age on the table. Bring the stroller. Bring the questions. This office was built for both.
About Prenatal & Pediatric CareArriving With Pain or Numbness?

What to Bring With You.
A photo ID, and your insurance card if you would like us to verify benefits.

A quick mental list of what you have already tried, what helped, and what did not.
Comfortable clothing you can move in.
Insurance & payment: We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your benefits before your first adjustment, though the specific carriers accepted are best confirmed with our office directly since coverage varies by plan. What patients do consistently confirm in their reviews: Karyn, our care coordinator, explains insurance benefits and charges clearly before treatment starts, so there are no surprises. Call (330) 954-8155 with your insurance information and we will verify your benefits before your visit.

First-Visit Questions
The Things Everyone Wonders.
Plan for more time than a routine adjustment takes. The first visit includes a real conversation about your history, a thorough exam, and any imaging your case calls for. We never rush the listening step, because everything that follows is built on it.
That depends on what your exam shows. Dr. Toumazos and Dr. Mayes review your findings before recommending care, so treatment starts when the picture is clear, not before. If your case calls for evaluation beyond our scope, we will say so plainly.
Yes, that is half of what this practice was built for. Dr. Mayes completed Life University's full advanced pediatric coursework track and provides gentle care for children from newborns through adolescents, along with pregnancy-safe prenatal chiropractic adapted to every trimester.
You are in good company: some patients arrive after a rough experience with a more forceful style of adjusting elsewhere. Here, the default is the gentle, instrument-assisted Torque Release Technique, no twisting or cracking, and the doctors explain each step before they take it.
Coverage varies by plan, so the honest answer is: let us check for you. Karyn, our care coordinator, is praised by patients for explaining insurance benefits and charges clearly before treatment starts. Call (330) 954-8155 with your insurance information and we will verify your benefits before you arrive.
