Reviews frequently mention that the staff is attentive, caring, and thorough, avoiding rushed appointments and ensuring that every option is explained clearly. This supportive environment helps patients feel truly heard and cared for, rather than just another number.

Many testimonials speak to the effectiveness of the treatments in alleviating chronic pain and aiding recovery. Patients have reported significant improvements in back pain, knee issues, wrist pain, and headaches, often regaining the ability to perform activities they had to pause due to discomfort.

Fantastic experience: I felt so much better after my visit.
Fantastic experience: Really great staff and program to helped me rehabilitate my injuries through soft tissue treatments and some physical therapy work.
Fantastic experience: I went into the clinic with debilitating lower back pain coupled with knee pain. Dr. Piper and Dr. Moreau along with their team of student doctors have completely got rid of my back pain and have decreased my knee pain severity by 90%. I can now get back to the activities that I had to put on hold for a while because of these issues I had with my body. PLEASE come here! Everyone from the front to the back are also very personable, sweet, caring, attentive, detailed, and really makes you feel taken care of instead of having rushed. 10/10 for the months that I have received my treatments.
Fantastic experience: Great people and place to get your back adjusted. Walk out feeling like a new person
Fantastic experience: Great therapy
Negative experience: Will never go back. This place charges more than any other office in Portland and take 3x the length of time. The interns have to ask for permission to do anything and their “boss” is always disappearing on them. Go see a chiropractor who will get you 20 minutes of treatment during your 20 minute appointment instead of 3 minutes of treatment in 60 minutes.
We apologize for the poor experience you had in a recent visit. We strive for excellent patient experience, and would like to investigate to provide a solution for you. Our leadership team would like to connect with you directly. Please email us at [email protected].
Fantastic experience: Great service. They take time to get to know you and provide the necessary relief for you. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Muy buen servicio
Fantastic experience: Wonderful Doctors and interns here. They helped my wrist pain and headaches. I don’t think I ever really experienced what chiropractic was until I came here. They are so thorough, they look at you as whole person, look into your family health history, your daily habits everything to help you improve your symptoms and your life. They ask what your goals are for treatment, they never pressure you into a specific treatment and they tell you all of your options for treatment before getting started. The front desk is also so professional, kind and friendly.

Fantastic experience: What an awesome staff and team of care givers. Amazing energy.
Fantastic experience: I was recommended to this facility, specifically Dr. Bergstrom, for their sliding scale chiropractic clinical care. Since starting in the doctor, students, and staff have been unfailingly professional, pleasant, and well-trained. The facility itself, while slightly tight on parking, is adjacent to a beautiful campus and is well maintained. X-rays were done on-site, everything was very quick and the equipment seemed well cared for and fairly new. Highly recommended for anyone in need of chiropractic care and currently lacking insurance or employment.
Positive experience: Very thorough....
Fantastic experience: Takes the time to assess your needs, friendly and helpful, and reasonably priced on a sliding scale.

Fantastic experience: Best care in pdx
Positive experience: Always a great experience with friendly faces and helpful knowledge
Fantastic experience: See Dr. Ondick, best patient care I've ever experienced. Also, very knowledgeable about holistic conservative health-care
Fantastic experience: In my opinion this is the top chiropractic school in the U.S. It's chiropractic program and masters degrees are challenging. They produce passionate, well educated, top tier doctors. The facilities are old but well kept and cared for. If looking for a good chiropractor or to be trained to become one, choose this place.
Fantastic experience: I've been going here for many years to get my chiropractic needs met. I think they are awesome.
Fantastic experience: Sure, you're a guinea pig for students to try out their training on a real body, but they are friendly, professional, and surprisingly non-aggressive when it comes to dealing with painful back problems. I expected the whole contort the body until it cracks scenario, but instead they worked to relax the muscles until the real treatment began. They use means-based payments, which means even if you don't make a great deal of money or have insurance, they may find a way to treat you that you can afford.
Fantastic experience: I love this place. Not only is it vital to helping shape the next generation of chiropractors, I have honestly never met people more compassionate at what they do. Everyone is genuinely nice, loves what they do and helps you understand any/all of your issues while they set up a treatment plan! I have being going for months now for shoulder pain and now SI joint problems and I feel immensely better after every session (especially if I keep up with the easy at-home exercises!)
Positive experience: Student named Justin did a great job. His exam was thorough. He was professional and the adjustment provided a lot of pain relief.
Positive experience: Very kind staff and friendly
Fantastic experience: Chiropractic and massage
