ChiroCenter of Uptown Chiropractic

If you are looking to better your life, then this is the place for you! Great staff and location! Dr Pete is more like my doctor than my real doctor! He got me through a very bad wrist fracture! David is the best massage therapist ever! He is calm, collected, and so friendly! And last but not least patty is a scheduling genius! She always has a great attitude and a great welcoming smile! Overall I feel fortunate that I found this wonderful place!

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Pete (Polski) at ChiroCenter of Uptown Chiropractic! He’s great! I had been having tingling and numbness in my right arm and fingers for months, and nothing worked — even other chiropractors. Then I went here. He did the whole X-​ray thing, sat down with me for a consultation to explain to me in very lay terms just what was going on, what he saw in the x-​ray and what his own examination revealed. He was very thorough. He put me on a crash course of adjustments and therapy (I had to leave town in less than a month, and would be gone for 3 months, so it HAD to be taken care of). He also gave me some exercises to do at home on my own, which I did diligently. I experienced results in a day or two and in 2 – 3 weeks time, I was back to normal. No problems since!
Very friendly front-​of-​house staff, and I also took advantage of massage therapist David for four sessions.
In addition, they had a very affordable rate-​scale and several options for «packages» of chiro and message.
All in all I’d say the vibe is relaxed, professional and friendly.
I can’t recommend them highly enough.

I rarely bother to write negative reviews, and I feel pretty bad considering that this will be the first one, but here goes.
IMPORTANT: I was here on a Groupon for a massage. The massage was great, I was with Emily, no complaints there at all. Unfortunately the 10 minute «wellness exam» with the chiropractor was… kind of shocking. I hope that some people who like this guy and know him better step up to defend him because I’m sure he has got to be better than this at least some of the time.
After looking at me and telling me to turn my head and lean forward some etc, Dr. Pete informed me that I «sucked,» multiple times. My posture sucked, which sure, might be true, but like… isn’t he a doctor? He also called me BABE. Okay, point of advice to anyone willing to listen: when you are talking to someone for the first time, and you’re a DOCTOR, at your place of work, and you are talking about my body, take a tip and don’t call me «babe.»
After telling me that my posture sucked he went on to tell me «You suck for a 26 year old.» I think my most legitimate complaint here would be that he was unprofessional and telling me that I suck is not the way to my heart or the way to get me back into your office if you really want to help me so badly. There are a million different ways to tell someone that they could be healthier without putting them down.
So, I sucked. So did my range of motion and my flexibility. I’ll admit, being the most flexible person that I know, this was news to me. I mean, I can do the splits, I can reach past my toes at most any given moment, I was a gymnast for 10 years and I do yoga 3 times a week. If I suck… well I have news for the rest of the population, YOU REALLY SUCK! And I’m not disputing that I could still be more flexible, but like, seriously, new vocabulary needed.
I believe in chiropractic medicine and I do wish that I was in a financial position where I could access more chiropractic care, but Dr. Pete made me feel like shit and made me feel shittier for not seeing my regular chiropractor more often. He also managed to get a jab in on my regular chiro by saying «Oh… so their philosophy is just going in when you have a problem?» as if she wouldn’t support preventative holistic care.
Because I was just there for a wellness exam that was a part of the massage Groupon, I wasn’t even treated by Dr. Pete. This made me really hesitant to even write a review because I can’t even speak to the main part of his job… But it’s been a few days since I was in and I seriously can’t stop thinking about how ridiculous it was.
So, in conclusion, Emily the masseuse: great, would have given her 4 stars. Dr. Pete the chiro: could work on his interpersonal office skills with new patients.
