Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My experience at Bend Chiropractic was not good. I have been to many chiropractors over the years and this was near or at the bottom. I had a dozen approved visit from my insurance. The first couple of adjustments were thorough, unhurried and effective, though I was charged $199 for initial exam/x-rays, and hustled to buy a yearly plan. Indeed it was over an hour of a sales pitch before I got my first adjustment. When I declined the plan things went downhill from there until the adjustments lasted 3 or 4 minutes at best and offered no relief. I get that insurance companies don't pay much (they were billed for several 15 treatments each visit), but that's no excuse for not doing much (if that). In fact I stopped going because it was a complete waste of time. Again I have 40 plus years as a chiropractic patient. Dr. Bend certainly knows her craft and is a well reviewed doctor, but not in my experience there.
