I feel guilty being the first to give a bad review. For the sake of every over weight patient I have to. First, the massage was great. I would give her five stars. She was incredibly understanding and she did great work. As far as my back evaluation. I have scoliosis. I was hoping that I could get some exercise recommendations. First he was half an hour late which I would have excused if I had been treated better. Any way. I was expecting him to comment on my weight. He should because it impacts my back. However I had suddenly pile on weight and had missed a period. At the time I questioned if I was pregnant. Which I had told him. After looking at my back he almost immediately launched into my weight which I agreed with. However he gave off a condescending feeling that a lot of doctors give to their over weight patients. Then he recommended a sugar free diet and almost chuckled as he said, "I bet youve never tried a sugar free diet." Actually I have. However I am hypoclyemic and I kept passing out. (He suggested I was hypoclyemic because I eat sugar all of the time. Actually no. I was raised by health nut parents. Nice try.) I also could not lose weight on a sugar free diet. I started reintroducing sugar and I started taking off weight. He also immediately recommended diet products. I dont believe in plastic wrapped foods if I dont half to. I believe in fruits, veggies, and lean meats. Studies show that diet programs are not as affective long term. I felt it was really unprofessional. I am on my own natural but not sugar free diet and have worked with my doctor concerning my hormones being all messed up. That has made a lot of difference. I have lost 7.5 pounds. I understand I need to loose weight and the weight is important to my health. What I didnt like was all of his assumptions about me just because I am over weight. I have pcos and other health conditions that were not taken into consideration. It would have been nice to be treated better and given some specific exercises for my back.

After much deliberation, months to cool off, and reading others reviews (including one similar to my experience), Ive decided to write a review. At first Dr. Betsill was great. He then started asking about my eating habits; fair enough (I eat clean/Paleo), exercise habits (CrossFit), but then spared no time in asking how I felt about my "hight to weight ratio"...incredibly rude and inappropriate, especially because I had already disclosed I had an autoimmune thyroid disorder that caused me to gain weight, which I am incredibly self-cousious about, and was already actively working to get off. He then tried to sell me on his MLM pyramid scheme Ideal Protein program to help me lose weight...WHICH I DID NOT ASK FOR. How insulting. Its incredibly expensive and its not real food. I walked out and WILL NEVER return. I am beyond floored at the audacity. Also, they overcharge for everything. Including using an ice pack at the facility...when you have to pay out of pocket, that adds up quick.

Very disappointed with the massage work provided by Audrey Kolb at Aspire Chiropractic Clinic after my auto injury. My last appointment she showed up 15-minutes late, and neither her nor the staff informed me a head of time that she was running late. Furthermore, after an auto accident you need a person who is genuinely compassionate towards your needs for recovery. Aubrey, while charging my insurance company $170 a session, not only shorted my massage time on the table each visit by 10-minutes, but was only willing to provide a 60-minute massage appointment, rather than 90-minutes. While the benefits of having chiropractic treatment and medical massage are certainly well documented, but only if those providing the care are proficient in their abilities to treat auto injury patients. There are massage therapist willing to provide 90-minutes of deep tissue work at the same cost to the insurance company, with much more compassion and care for your overall well being.

Dr. Betsill and his staff are hands down THE BEST team I have ever seen. My overall heath has improved as a result of therapeutic massage and chiropractic alignment. Dr. Betsill made adjustments during my pregnancy that dramatically improved the sciatic pain from how I carried my baby. Audrey and Megan have been instrumental in therapeutic and relaxation massage - personal favorites (and I consider myself choosey). Judy is also a pillar of this staff. She held my hand through over 55lbs of weight loss through her Ideal Protein Clinic. She is the real deal; an inspiration of a coach. Let me not leave out Brenda. Brenda has been the glue that holds this office together. Attentive, prompt and accurate are understatements to describe Brenda. Aspire Chiropractic would not be the same without her! Overall my entire wellbeing would not be what it is today without the treatment and relationships I have built with Aspire. Its all in their name.

My family vacationed in the Portland area this past summer for a month and a half. I receive chiropractic care in AZ about once every week to two weeks. Needed someone while in OR. I called two other places. The first, the doctor was on vacation. The second was more concerned about payment than my care, and didnt get back to me until a week later. Ms. Brenda took my insurance information, booked an appointment for the next day, and called back promptly with conformation of insurance coverage. She greeted me with a warm smile every time I came in. She also gave me great recommendations of what to see and do in the area. Dr. Betsill also was very welcoming and took great care of my back. He is very personable and cares about his patients. He also recommended great hikes to go on. Would see them again while in the area.

Aspire Chiropractic has an incredibly comfortable environment to receive care in. Dr. Betsill and Audrey were instrumental in getting me back to being active after an auto injury. And for months I had been experiencing a pain in my elbow that wouldnt go away, I thought the worst. On October 18th Dr. Betsill made an adjustment to my arm, I couldnt believe it, he literally fixed it right there. Pain was gone. Megan is amazing, she has been so great with providing therapeutic massage. Such Great People! If you have any questions about my experience there feel free to leave me a comment.

I started coming to Dr. Betsill after years of back pain following several knee injuries. He is a miracle worker. Because of him, along with the angel hands of the massage therapist, I now have pain free days and feel comfortable sitting in cars for long trips or after being on my feet all day at work. I highly recommend Dr. Betsill and the services he offers. The office is warm and inviting and they remember you by name and always friendly asking me about my recent travel adventures. If you are looking for a chiropractor in the Gresham or East County areas, Dr. Betsill is your man!

I am a new full time RVer so I was far from my usual chiropractor when I required a low back adjustment. I searched on Google and Aspire Chiropractic & Massage seemed like they would fit my needs. My appointment was timely and the registration experience was smooth. The receptionist is very capable and friendly. Dr Betzill is great. My back / hip pain is nearly gone and the treatment was efficient and gentle. I highly recommend Dr B and will see him next time I travel to the Gresham area!
