With Dr. Kris Dorken I could see an improvement in my well-being from the 1st day and noticeable good results in few sessions. The girls at the front desk are quick, friendly, and efficient and the overall pricing is convenient. After the first frequent adjustments, there's only ongoing, less frequent maintenance. Chiropractic care is crucial for a good health and most dramatic results can only be appreciated in the long run, so I'll continue being their client. read more

I started seeing Dr. Kris in my second trimester of pregnancy due to pre-existing and new back issues that developed. His treatments and take home exercises have provided me relief and prevented my back from becoming worst throughout my pregnancy. I highly recommend Dr. Kris and Core Wellness Centre. Dr. Kris and the front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. Also, the appointments always run on time which is nice. read more

I decided to give Core Wellness Centre a try after I was looking at their favourable Google reviews. I am suffering from chronic migraines and Dr. Kris Dorken said that the alignment of my neck was likely the reason for these migraines. He also said that it might make sense to attend physiotherapy in their clinic to stretch out my neck muscles. Despite going there for at least 7 months my symptoms never improved. When I asked Dr. Kris what he thought was causing my migraines, he admitted that he didn't really know. What's also concerning is the high turnover of the physiotherapists in the clinic. I'm not really sure what's going on here, but over the 7 month period that I attended the clinic I had 4 different physiotherapists. I think that Core Wellness Centre is underpaying these physiotherapists, as the receptionists offered me a 50% discount on physiotherapy services right from the beginning. Perhaps the physiotherapists are not being paid properly and leave the clinic to pursue better opportunities. Nonetheless, I do not recommend Core Wellness Centre. I tried to leave a Google review for this business but was unable to do so. I know that it's difficult to prove but I think this business is paying people to post 5-star Google reviews. read more

I'm so happy to have found Dr.Kris, besides treating you, he also teaches you about your back and how to take care for it. My back feels so much better! The staff members are so sweet that it is a pleasure to see them too. read more

Amazing staff and DR Chris is a miracle worker! Always on schedule and super accommodating always.

I started seeing Dr.Kris a few months ago due to hip and pelvic issues caused by pregnancy. I was experiencing excruciating pain that I was told would just get worse as the baby grew. Now I am almost 100% pain free and my hips have stopped popping. I have been sharing my experience with everyone who will listen. I will be continuing my appointments this entire pregnancy! read more

I can not express my gratitude enough for Core Wellness Center. My doctor could only prescribe pain medication for my lower back pain, which helped a bit but the issue persisted. Then I found Core Wellness Center and within a week I began to see results, and now I am pain free! The care I received at Core Wellness was the best I could have expected. I highly suggest you call them first. read more

Dr. Kris is a magician, and is clearly meant to be a practicing chiropractor! As a patient that has bounced around from different practitioners due to my travels, I can confidently say that he is one of the best I've been a patient of, and is very thorough in his assessments, which then lead to very fast and effective adjustments. If you have severe pain, limited mobility in your neck from sports (hockey, football, baseball, etc.), very tight muscles from car accident(s), and/or just pain from poor posture, I strongly suggest contacting Core Wellness Centre for the relief you need! And, it is very reasonably priced relief. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Kris Dorken for the past few months after dealing with acute on chronic neck pain. I was a little hesitant at first, but the neck pain was unbearable. I couldn't believe the difference his treatment provided. Within days, my neck pain was almost completely gone. Better yet his office is great at scheduling last minute emergency appointments and they do direct insurance billing. I am truly grateful for the level of care he and his team provides. I highly recommend you give him a try if you're suffering from back pain. Thanks again Dr. Kris! read more

I came in looking for acupuncture for an acute migraine. I was in a lot of pain and was pressured to get a chiropractic adjustment. Not only did this not reduce my pain, my spine went numb overnight and then I had to remain home from work for an additional day because I had extreme pain in my mid-back. Dr Kris said he would call me the night of my appointment to check in, which he never did. I called early the next morning when I woke up in pain to cancel my follow-up appointments and THEN he called me back. I would never recommend this clinic or chiropractor. read more

Dr.kris is a very kind,dedicated,warm person he helps me to lessen the pain that I have for how many years, I can sleep better, before i always visit him every saturday but since they dont have weekends anymore he makes sure that I can still visit the clinic atleast once every second Saturday of the month, but too bad I can't make it sometimes , definitely I will recommend him to anyone and his staffs are very warm and welcoming too. read more

I was in a lot of discomfort due to my desk job and bad habits. I went here with a Groupon for a 30 minute massage and chiropractic adjustment and assessment. I felt so tight with a permanent kink I'm my neck and sore arms.I felt better immediately and every day I'm able to stretch more. my arms don't ache and I can turn my head. Great team. Dr Dorken is very friendly and very professional. Excellent chiropractor. I have been back to see him and would highly recommend his clinic. read more

I had what was supposed to be a RMT massage at Core Wellness and it was the worst massage I've ever had and one of the most terrible experiences. I was not properly draped (only a small towel that covered 1/3 of my body), the therapist used a machine on my back straight away that hurt and when I protested, she ignored me. It was, quite simply, not a massage. She spent a lot of time tickling instead of massaging, she put on latex gloves to massage my feet and when I asked for more covers because I was cold, she ignored me. I asked again, and she grudgingly obliged, only to have the 2nd towel fall and she never retrieved it. The therapist was 15 minutes late starting my appointment but finished on time. The experience wasn't relaxing or tranquil; I could hear clearly the radio blaring from the other room and the therapist was obviously untrained and putting in as little effort as possible. It's been the only experience I've had where I was ready to get up and walk out on the massage. I've had joint and musculature issues so I've had lots of massage therapy and I can't believe that the therapist who massaged me had any certification. They are passing this off as legitimate, but it isn't. I felt scammed. read more

The quality of care here is beyond anything I've experienced. Their practices are very effective.

After $2,000 in Chiro, Physiotherapy and massage therapy, I was still in great pain due to an unknown neck injury. Meds and steroid shots were not favoured so I tried this Chiro randomly and now after a year of pain I am 200% back to normal after 6 weeks! Hours are great, workers are knowledgeable and they are reasonable to anyone in any financial situation. read more

I have been having knee pain and went in for laser therapy . It has worked wonders on my knee pain and minimized it to a bearable level . Dr Kris is amazing and kudos to him for running such an amazing clinic ! Would definitely recommend ! read more

I had 2 slipped discs in my neck about 6 years ago and was spending a small fortune on physiotherapists and osteopaths. After only 4 visits in 2 weeks at Core Wellness it felt like I was finally improving in my mobility, my range of motion and of course the reduction in pain. I am so pleased. I rarely have to wait much more than 5 minutes when I go so it is quick and I can get on with my day. Highly recommended! read more

The most important thing about Core Wellness (specifically Dr. Kris and his staff) is that they REALLY care about you. I don't feel like a piggy bank when I go in there, I feel like a real person. That is actually really hard to find these days. The adjustments and treatment I have recieved have been amazing. Unlike many other practitioners I have been to, they actually teach you about your problem and figure out a plan that suits your needs. A plan that not only relieves pain but gives you a positive attitude about your health and well being. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kris and his team to everyone and anyone. read more

i have been seeing Dr. Kris since last winter. When I started with him, my back was so messed up it took me 5 minutes to get out of bed in the morning. During my assessment appointment, I had trouble sitting down and getting back up out of a chair. During the follow-up appointment, Dr. Kris gave a small group presentation to myself and 4 or 5 other new patients. I have never had any other chiropractor explain things the way he did about spine health and sample case studies of before and after x-rays of patients going through his care. The results were impressive, as was the education he provided in that half hour. That really was amazing! I began with treatments 2X per week and within a couple of weeks I could get out of bed and walk around pain free. I went from 2 appointments/ week, to 1 per week and now I go twice per month. It has been like night and day thankfully. At age 57, I was certainly heading for a downward spiral had I not had Dr. Kris's well laid out program and on-going care. Dr. Kris's staff provided me with a very reasonable payment plan with my commitment to the program over a period of months. I am so glad they did this, as I truly believe that because of the consistency of regular appointments I have had, together we have reversed and greatly improved my back and spine issues. Further proof of this was evidenced by the follow-up x-rays Dr. Kris took of my spine. My only regret is not going sooner! Great staff and a warm and caring place, which I highly recommend! read more

Very nice staff,and the massage service was good. I relaxed after I have my treatment.

Dr. Dorken and his friendly office staff will remember you by name and will make you feel right at home in their office. Dr. Dorken is caring and knowledgable in his practice. He uses state of the art equipment and makes himself available by phone or by email in case something comes up. He wants to go the extra mile with his clinic and it shows in every detail. Highly recommend this place! read more

Two years ago I started seeing Dr. Kris Dorken to improve my posture and overall health. I didn't have any major health issue - I just wanted to be healthier and find someone who could help me be my best. I felt very inspired by Dr. Dorken because he is very knowledgeable and is constantly learning to provide the best care for his patients. He uses different techniques, develops a unique treatment plan for each person and he and his staff follows up with you to make sure the plan they designed for you works well for you. He is able to answers my questions in detail. You are always greeted with a smile -the clinic is very positive and welcoming. X-rays are done on-site. They have updated equipment. They are very efficient and at they same time you don't feel rushed. I have experienced Dr. Dorken and his staff really care about me and the other patients. I always look forward to my appointment because I feel that I am getting the best and most updated care I hope that more people who have not experience Chiropractic care a chance and hang it there if there is a slight discomfort at the beginning that may or may not happen. At first my body was slightly sore while it was getting use to it but this was only a couple of sessions. It is like going to the gym and being slightly sore the next day but you feel great otherwise and each day you feel better and better. Dr. Dorken really cares and wants to help you be your best. Thanks. Dr. Dorken, Connie and Cheryl!! I feel great! Anna read more
