PATIENT REVIEWS
See what our patients have to say about the care they have received in our office.
At Advanced Collective, we believe healthcare should be built on relationships, not just appointments. Rooted in an integrative, family-centered approach, our team partners with you to understand your health history, your goals, and what “well” actually looks like for you — not just your symptoms on any given day.
Chiropractic care is a foundational part of that approach. Dr. Gareth and Dr. Cassie work with families throughout Urbandale and Waukee to support the body’s natural ability to heal and function well, addressing the root causes behind pain and dysfunction rather than just managing symptoms as they arise. Alongside chiropractic care, Rebecca Valadao, ARNP, FNP-C, brings precision, personalized medical care to our Waukee patients — from newborn wellness visits through adult and family practice care — so that every stage of life is supported under one roof.
We know that true wellness isn’t a single visit — it’s an ongoing partnership. That’s why our care is designed to evolve with you and your family, whether you’re managing an old injury, supporting your child’s development, navigating a hormone transition, or simply investing in long-term, proactive health. Every visit is an opportunity to identify patterns early, build healthy routines, and feel genuinely supported, not just seen.
If you’re looking for a healthcare partner who takes the time to know your whole story, we’d love to meet you and your family.
Led by Rebecca Valadao, ARNP, FNP-C, Advanced Family Health brings relationship-based medical care to families in Waukee at every stage of life. From newborn wellness visits through childhood, the teen years, and into adulthood, care is built around ongoing partnership rather than one-off sick visits — with time to understand your history, your goals, and what long-term health actually looks like for you.
Through our Wellness Pathways, families receive proactive, individualized care covering everything from developmental milestones and nutrition to hormone health, metabolic wellness, and preventive screening. It’s healthcare designed to catch patterns early, build healthy routines, and keep you and your family genuinely supported.
Led by Dr. Gareth and Dr. Cassie, Advanced Chiropractic serves families throughout Urbandale and Waukee with a non-invasive, drug-free approach to pain relief and long-term wellness. Chiropractic care focuses on supporting proper spinal alignment and nervous system function, helping to relieve back and neck pain, reduce headaches and migraines, and address the underlying causes of joint and muscle discomfort.
Because chiropractic care is one of the safest, least invasive treatment options available, it’s often a preferred first step for patients looking to avoid unnecessary medication or surgery, while supporting the body’s natural ability to heal and function well.
