My girlfriend bought me an exam and adjustment package since I have back stiffness and pain, but have never been to a chiropractor before. I was wary. I went to my first appointment after filling out the necessary forms online, which saved me 15 minutes in the waiting room. Then Clifford the intake person described the process, showed me how to log in at the lobby computer, and rank my current pain levels, which they do for each visit, so they can chart your progress over time. The first visit with with Dr. Huma Pierce, very educational, and informal before my range of motion tests and x-rays. We also got in some chat about business, self improvement and writing. On my second visit today, I had my first adjustment after Dr. Pierce laid out a treatment regiment for my various misalignment and weight pulling issues. Very useful information, and the explanation on the X-rays was useful to see. I am still considering the path of treatment I want. It is too bad this office is out of network for my health insurance, but I already feel comfortable with these two care-givers...and I dont know if I would trust others to make adjustments like I did with Dr. Christopher Pierce. After the treatment plan briefing, I was introduced to Dr. Christopher, and he made some quick adjustments...snap, crackle, pop. Moment of pain, then warmth and relaxing ease. I appreciate those, and I cant wait to have my next session. We then got to chatting about martial arts, and his experience with energy, range of motion and how the joints fit together, as well as weight in motion. Very knowledgeable expert in multiple fields. We talked for at least another 20 minutes, luckily I dont think anyone was waiting. I enjoyed my chat, and was not rushed out or made to feel like I was in the way. Maybe all chiropractors are like this...I hope so, but why take the chance?

I wish there were NEGATIVE stars to rate with!! Dont be fooled by their slick technology and apparent care for you..it is all just a scam to suck up as much of your PIP as possible!! I was in a bad car accident and I started going to them first. They impressed me with their knowledge and made me believe that I could get better with their treatments. Thats what I get for trusting Google results!! What I didnt know that it was all a ruse to charge as much as possible to insurance through excessive charges and unnecessary treatment. During my intake they let me use an ice pack for my neck while I was there for an intake appt..later I saw that they tried to bill the insurance $120 for cold/heat therapy - for a plastic ice bag that I had on for 10 minutes and then gave back. Also they insisted that I come in 5 times a week for adjustments. Ive spoken to many doctors and chiropractors afterward and found out that getting adjustments that often does nothing but keep you in pain and further damage your recovery. All of this came at a great financial cost, which used up all of my insurance PIP fund leaving me stuck with the bill for REAL treatment from good doctors to fix the problems that they had inflicted. The main reason for their failure had to have been when the male dr over adjusted me causing me to regress back into extreme pain. I had pain, swelling, stiffness. It slowed my recovery by months, I should sue the jerks!! Also, when I wanted to stop going to them but still see their massage therapist, I was told I couldnt because I wasnt seeking the chiropractic treatment from them..even though they appear to be two separate businesses.

I was referred by a friend to seek care at Chiropractic First. I am 100% satisfied with the choice I made. I scheduled a visit and was blown away by their service; I was immediately greeted by the reception staff, checked in, and given a tour of the practice. The check-in system is electronic (very quick and efficient) and allows you to document your symptoms, pain, etc., based on the problem area(s) of your body. I absolutely love Dr. Huma, my first consultation experience with her was great and continues to be. She is kind, humorous, knowledgeable, and extremely passionate about what she does and who she cares for. Dr. Chris is also amazing, he knows exactly what he is doing. Both are incredibly experienced and knowledgeable not only in their area of expertise but health in general; they are able to thoroughly answer any questions I have for them. They are genuinely caring and able to provide care specific to the individuals needs. One thing I especially like about this practice that my previous one did not offer is the in house equipment for different strengthening exercises, etc. that they gradually have you complete during each visit. Their care is much more comprehensive, effective and thorough. I am so thankful for them and the corrective therapy they do! Just to prove how great they are, I began an intensive approach for care visiting 3 times a week for four weeks, driving 45 minutes one way from SE Portland/Gresham area! =)

My 17 year old daughter was suffering from chronic migraines. She had been seeing a neurologist since she was 14. The migraines worsened at age 16 and my once vibrant, athletic, high achieving girl was pretty much bedridden for 4 months. We had been to two neurologists, had MRI, CAT scan, countless medications, accupuncture, massage, Naturepath, diet changes, sleep study and still --- no results. We went to a different chiropractor with no results .......... and then we heard about Dr. Pierce who I now will refer to as a miracle worker. He literally has changed my daughters life and the gratitude I feel are beyond words. It didnt happen overnight but little by little she got there and is now virtually headahce free. I even got my husband to go to him (the worlds biggest skeptic) to help with his hip pain and toe numbness. He had been suffering for several weeks and within a few visits, he noticed his pain was less and less. He now too is pain free. Now it is my turn -- to help with my shoulder pain from years of walking my dogs and getting yanked. Today I had my first appt. and Dr. Chris was able to increase my range of motion considerably so I have no doubt I am on my way to getting relief along with the rest of the family. Thank you Dr. Chris Pierce & Dr. Huma Pierce. I am forever grateful and I will be recommending you to all my friends and family with my highest praises. You are amazing!

Ive spent the better part of four years just hacking away, coughing to the point that I couldnt do anything. During all that time I have never been diagnosed with any particular allergies or asthma and any time ive visited the doctor theyve sent me home with some pills. This has been especially true when winter hits and my coughing is compounded by sickness and life is pretty much unbearable. Since the time I walked into Chiropractic First, its be a relief to know there is light at the end of the tunnel. My symptoms have alleviated to the point where my wife has regained some her sanity because im not hacking up a storm. More importantly they have help me regain trust in doctors who know their stuff! All my previous visits to other physicians have ended with obvious statements like, "Youve got a pretty decent cough" and a prescription for some drugs but these are the first Doctors who have explained what has been happening. These guys care about you regaining your optimum health and it shows in how they treat you like a member of their family.
