She is absolutely brilliant and through my several moves (10) around the country I have never found anyone who can tune into an individuals needs as clearly as she does. Frankly I'm stunned by some of the other reviews here. I have found her to be an excellent listener as well as an amazing diagnostician. I recommend her without reservation!

I first went to Dr. Nikander earlier this year to get a better handle on my health. She was…read morevery thorough in my first interview with her and for those that said she doesn't have the best bedside manner, it's because she's a bit quirky and wants to focus on the best care for you and asks a lot of questions. It's best you let her ask questions then you can ask questions when she's done. She recommended a test to check how my liver was functioning and was spot on with her recommendation of a few supplements. I started feeling better after that. She's a super smart lady and appreciates people who take an interest in their health and also take time to take notes and keep health journals. My second visit with her went better and her bedside manner improved but I also realized it's best to prepare ahead of time then ask your questions when she's done with the interview. Communication is key to getting good care. My third visit was even better with her and on before my next visit, I'll request that she either email me or print off my lab results so I can have in front of me while she explains it all. She isn't great about responding to emails so I'd make a list and ask in person and don't send an email.

After 4 sessions I was no better than when I first started seeing the Chiro. I was referred to Dr. Julie Barter by a friend and so I made an appointment. She adjusted me in ways I've never been adjusted before. It was the most thorough adjustment I've ever had. She even adjusted my cranial sutures. Awesome! She uses muscle testing and your meridians to let her know what's going on where and what needs to be adjusted. It was an amazing experience and an extremely valuable one. I feel aligned and functional again! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! During my second appointment with her she really helped clarify some "untruths" I've been told about a supposed health issue that I thought I had but, it turns out it's not an issue at all. She gave me some very valuable nutrition information that I've been following ever since. I'm excited because I get to eat foods I thought I'd never eat again and I'm feeling great!
