Reynoldsburg sits in Columbus Metro, driven by financial services, insurance, healthcare, and the new wave of tech investment around the Intel campus and the Columbus Region Logistics Council corridor.

one of the largest Somali populations in the United States outside Minneapolis, with growing Bhutanese, Burmese, and Latino communities — and Reynoldsburg, with a population near 39,204, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
The 9-mile drive from Reynoldsburg (~18 min) is short enough for a midweek appointment but far enough that we always plan to finish core packet work in one sitting. We also serve families across the rest of Columbus Metro, where many of our Reynoldsburg clients have relatives, coworkers, and shared community ties.
