I've been miserable for weeks w/ a hip issue. Painful, couldn't sleep. After one treatment w/ Dr. Kori I'm pain free. It felt great to sleep through the night. I'll continue w/ treatments to keep the tendonitis from returning. I also love the flexibility of just dropping in versus needing to schedule an appointment. read more

After being a competitive gymnast for over a decade during my childhood, my body has sure seen better days! Many years ago, I had been diagnosed with scoliosis and I suffer from persistent low back and neck pain. To make things worse, I am an operating room nurse who has to lift heavy objects and patients, while being on my feet for long hours at a time. Thanks to Yelp and my massage therapist's recommendation, I came across Dr. Kori. I conveniently made a new patient appointment/assessment online on his website and visited his downtown office on the fifth floor of the Balboa building (one door south of Banana Republic off State Street). Dr. Kori listened attentively to my questions and concerns (though he's a soft spoken guy in general), went over how chiropractic care can improve one's life (including what subluxations are), and lastly his payment options WITHOUT an awkward sales pitch. Unlike other chiropractors I have visited in the past, Dr. Kori remains very reasonable and truly believes that everyone should have access to spinal care and prevention. For that reason, he offers various affordable payment options including: pay-per-visit, pre-pay 'X' number of visits a month, pre-paid two adjustments per month package, and prepaid unlimited monthly visits. Not to mention, there are discounts for students, seniors and families. He has walk-in hours for patients which are flexible and don't require an appointment for a brief adjustment. Keep in mind, Dr. Kori is closed on Fridays and weekends, but you can always call to book an appointment if you're in need. Wellness Wednesdays are also a great option for those not wanting to commit with $40 visits for non-membership patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Kori for his demeanor, listening skills, and chiropractic skills. My headaches/migraines that lingered have gone away for the time being thanks to him! read more

See all

I have been going to see Dr Kori for a few weeks now on a regular basis and he is fantastic. I'm a former ballet dancer who recently got back into class and thought the stiffness in my back and body was just the result of my age. After a few visits with Dr Kori I noticed a big difference in my freedom of movement. Dr Kori has a great bedside manner, getting in to see him is super convenient, he has really reasonable prices and a cool office. I highly recommend him if you're looking for a good chiropractor who knows what he's doing, is gentle yet effective and also super friendly. read more

I can't recommend this chiro. No soft tissue work and the neck adjustment he did actually hurt and made my neck feel creaky. I actually went to another chiro (who did help me) the next day. Also, as strange as it sounds, I genuinely believe that he was using hypnosis techniques while speaking to me which I find creepy. He pulled out a chart and asked me to look at it while tapping his pen around and speaking in a very low and monotonous voice. You could* say that that's just him speaking and pointing at a chart but if someone is using three hypnosis techniques (lulling voice, tapping, directing your eye movement back and forth) while speaking to you, it's a little suspect. Hypnosis is the kind of thing you should consent to. If that is what he was doing (which, I think it was) it is unethical to attempt to induce someone without their permission* then go on to try and sell them weekly adjustments. read more

Dr Kori was very informative and laid back. He was also very good at listening to my needs. Afterwards he also followed up to see how I felt the next day. I would definitely refer Dr. Kori to anyone I know. read more

I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Kori. He has been my chiropractor for a couple of years and is such a Godsend. I have cerebral palsy and a short leg, which wreaks havoc on my back. He keeps me upright and pain free. I opted for the monthly plan and see him several times each week. His hours accommodate my schedule and he has even met me during off hours when I was really in pain. I can't heap enough praise on Dr. Kori. read more

I am visiting family and was in serious need of an adjustment. I called around and was only able to leave voicemails and one lady did answer and quoted me $150... i finally got to dr. Kori !!!

I live in a studio and because of quarantine, I have been working from home but don't have a lot of space available. Because of this, I've been doing a lot of work from my bed.. and because of that, my back has been hurting so badly. I woke up a few days ago with a back spasm and was lying on the floor most of the day. I finally worked up the strength to see Dr. Kori and WOW! Walking in, he made me feel very comfortable and went over everything, he took the time to understand what was going on, which was a huge plus! After the adjustment, my back felt so much relief and I slept like a baby that night. Thank you, Dr. Kori! read more

I came in on Wellness Wednesday ($30 for an adjustment on Wednesday's, totally worth it) as a first-time patient.

Dr. Kori made me feel comfortable through the whole process and showed me some membership options that are a great value. I will definitely be recommending Dr. Kori to my friends and coworkers! read more

Dr. Kori treated me three months after the birth of my daughter. He was amazing. I had been hunching over breast feeding, twisting to lift my kiddo in odd positions and so I felt pretty out of wack.

Fantastic chiropractor. read more

I went to see Dr. Kori for upper back and neck issues. With just one adjustment, I felt relief. Over the years I have been to many chiropractors.

As a woman, this is an essential aspect of treatment. ~Jada read more

I went to see Dr. Kori for the first time to get a wellness tune-up. He is knowledgeable, comfortable and so in tune with what he is doing that I knew I was in good hands.

After my adjustment, I was a new person. I would recommend Dr. Kori to anyone who is serious about staying healthy and he's great with kids, too! read more
