He is an amazing doctor! He makes you feel better. You just need to comeback for follow ups until you feel better. read more

Gifted, caring and a wealth of knowledge doctor of naprapathy. Also an excellent acupuncturist.

Truly a special human being. read more

Ray took care of my Dad, Bill H., for over 30 years. Dad is 92 now and sharing memories about how well he felt after all of his visits with Ray. He said Ray is the "best in the business and was an outstanding teacher for all of his students." He highly recommends Ray. And boy, Dad has very high standards! Thanks, Ray! read more

Dr. Webster is unlike any other type of practioner and delivers the results unlike any other type of therapy/treatment. Don't expect frills or a fancy office, but do expect to be helped with what ails you. I have been seeing Dr. Webster off and on for about 14 years. I was referred by a patient of mine after a skiing accident. Leg not broken, but VERY painful; had difficulty walking. I reluctantly agreed to drive "way over there". NO exaggeration here- I had pain 5.5-6/10. Leg very stiff, and limped very slowly. I called (he answers the phone as always) explained my problem, and he says "how soon can you get here?" (how's that!). I went over . He asked a few questions, felt my leg, then helped me onto the table. He did a series of manipulations of spine, legs, neck, ankles, feet and all related soft tissues. he used some electrical muscle stimulator (which was weird at first, but now I like it), and heat. In the span of 30 minutes-this is no lie folks- I got up the pain went from 5.5-6/10 to 1.5/10, I was only slightly limping, and the stiffnes was GONE. I could not believe it. I was truly amazed. Never had I experienced the level of discomfort prior to ANY kind of treatment and had that discomfort so markedly decreased as I did on that visit. I don't mean to go on and on but before the treatment "it really F------ hurt and after the pain and stiffnes had all but disappeared". I have since been back for different injuries and ailments. Every time I just know I am going to feel better. Sometimes you have to go back 2 or 3 times depending on your problem, but EVERY time you will feel better. I heart you BIG TIME Dr. Webster! . read more

He's the best!!! I've been having lower back problems for about a year. It got to the point that I sometimes couldn't even get out of bed without struggling. A year before that, I went to a chiropractor for a sore neck. That doctor automatically put me on a treatment plan and told me I would need about 12 visits with him and that I would also need work on my back. I wasn't sure about that but decided to give it a try. After about 6 visits I had enough. I felt the visit were completely unnecessary and the work he was doing felt ridiculous, so I stopped. After that, my lower back started hurting but I was afraid to go back to a chiropractor as I was convinced it was hurting because of the previous doctor. However, the pain got so severe, I couldn't even walk up the stairs. I got desperate and first went to a regular emergency care clinic at which I was prescribed a muscle relaxer. However, I believed that something needed to be fixed, so again I started searching for a doctor. I got online and found Dr. Webster. I made an appointment the following day and postponed taking my medicine. I explained the pain. During my visit with Dr. Webster, he stated that after that one visit with him I'll be fine and won't need to come back!! How contradictory to what the previous doctor told me and not to mention, much cheaper. My previous chiropractor was billing my insurance for $200 per 20 minute visit in addition to my $25 co-pay, while Dr. Webster charged me only $40 and no insurance!!! Dr. Webster did an adjustment and I felt a pop in my lower left side and I walked out of there like brand new!! No need for follow up visits. No excessive insurance billing!!! I would recommend Dr. Webster to everyone! He knows what he's doing and is not greedy!!! I will definitely return if needed. read more

I jusr referred a friend to Dr. Webster and when searching for his address came across yelp reviews related to Dr. Webster. There were only two reviews, but they echo what I experienced when I first visited him 30 years ago with a severe case of sciatica. It was like a miracle occurred. I think Dr. Webster is extremely gifted. I am sure he is doing the same sort of muscle manipulations that chiropractors and trainers use, but for some reason he seems to have the "touch." Everyone I have ever sent to him has had great things to say. If your insurance won't cover your visit, not to worry, he is inexpensive comapred to most chiropractors and doctors. I am not sure what he is charging these days, but I have never heard anyone complain. read more

I have random lower back pain. In the past I had to just deal with it until it went away because I didn't want to spend the money on expensive chiropractors who would tell me I would have to go back for multiple therapy sessions. A friend told me about Dr. Webster and I thought for that price, why not. WOW! I walked out of there upright and pain free. I've recommended him to so many people and all have had the same results and rave reviews. read more

While I've not yet been 'fixed,' I had been seeing a different naprapath, then saw Dr. Webster's reviews here and thought I'd give it a try. A severely painful shoulder issue that's been around and getting worse for 10 months now, really getting bad in the last few, is about 70% gone in one visit. While visits to the other naprapath made my shoulder feel a smidge better after each of my 3 visits, the effects have not been lasting. Dr. Webster's treatment has it way way less painful after one visit. I can't wait to go back! He works a bunch of different therapies, and asks you to test your pain after each one to see how they're all working, which I loved. He's awesome, and my visit to his place has me wondering if I could be a naprapath (am considering a career change at present) and if I were to do that, I'd try my damnedest to try to train with this guy, I suspect there is some magic in him. read more

I have known Dr. Webster for some time - since his daughter and I were friends wayyy back in the 80's :) I threw my back out few years ago and I decided to call him since I knew he was good at what he did - from parents at school back in the day commenting on his work, etc. So I walk in - we catch up on how everyone is doing and he goes to work. After a few minutes of work and manipulation I felt 100% better. For less than $50!!??? NO chiropractor I visited prior, charged this amount, nor were they as prompt, available and assuring as Dr. Webster. I had sciatica last year -- called Dr. Webster up - was at his office within the hour and after his treatment I was no longer in pain and I could walk comfortably. No doubt --- great at what he does. Any friend/family member that needs back treatment etc - I always tell them about Dr. Webster. He definitely does NOT disappoint. read more

Dr. Webster is the best! He does what is needed to know and make sure that you are also well informed. Every adjustments that I've ever had was treated 2x the most - unlike some chiropractors or doctors who keep on making you do office visits until you either say stop it's not working or going to another for a different treatment. Listen I think you should give him a try, he is very good and is very inexpensive. Do yourself a favor and go see him at least once. I recommended him to my friends and they all have nice things to say about him but the best part is that he has fixed whatever was troubling them. That should say it all. read more

Really pleasant guy. Over the phone. But he IS retiring and not taking new clients. I was sooo looking forward to having him work on me but I understand his situation. He was kind and honest and hey. He's retiring. So just letting everyone know so they don't waste time. read more

I called Dr. Raymond Webster today, he told me he's not accepting new patients and he's retiring- he then slammed the phone and hung up on me. Whether this is the truth or not, unacceptable phone mannerism to a client who was about to pay top dollar for consistent services. read more

Dr. Webster is awesome he really knows what he is doing. I been there 3 times for different reason and every time I go he fixes my problems, from pelvic pain to hip pain. I'm definitely going back. read more

I have visited Dr. Webster on 2 occasions after having seen all the reviews and in need of relief myself and I must say, I throw my lot in with the others. Dr. webster provided a thorough, relaxed, informative and, most importantly, healing experience for me which I felt immediately. My first visit came after I experienced severe stiffness and pain in my neck/upper back. I had gone to an acupuncture therapist in my neighbourhood on two occasions before deciding that the price-point to relief ratio was not worth another visit. So after some searching I found Dr. Webster on Yelp. The reviews all raved about his abilities, except for that one wet rag who seems more focused on aesthetics than pain relief. So I called, told him I was a new patient and he replied, "Okay how about an hour from now?" I replied that an hour would be perfect. I arrived, entered the store front office and he greeted me by name asking me to fill out a form while he finished up with his current patient. I completed the form, he completed the patient, he reviewed said form and then asked me to follow him so we could get to work. Every step of his treatment was explained in a thorough and understandable way along with some anecdotal conversation to keep things comfortable. After the treatment he gave me some exercises to do to aid in the relief which he said I would feel some right away (I did) but everything would take a short amount of time to feel "normal" (it did). Fast forward a few months and my back inextricably goes out. Lower back is so stiff and causing sharp pain that walking, standing, sitting all cause pain. I couldn't stand up straight as that would send me into orbit with shooting pain. I called Dr. Webster we scheduled the visit for a couple of hours later and when I hobbled in he said, "Ah, you have quadracytis." (yes, I probably butchered the spelling). I slowly made my way to the table, laid down and he went to work. Once again explaining what he was doing, why and what causes this (a very functional problem that can happen to anyone and usually takes effect in the morning). After he finished the treatment he asked me to walk up and down the hall and to my great joy I was able to do so upright with my pain decreased from 100% to 40%. He told me that it would take 72 hours for everything that he had done to really settle my back into place and in the mean time I should soak in epsom salt baths, "as hot as you can stand" and take it easy. I did as he recommended and sure enough 72 hours later all was back to normal. No pain, no discomfort and I could resume work. If something ails you look up what a naprapath is/does and visit Dr. Webster and he'll surely give you relief. Oh and if you have issues with dated, small offices that aren't pristine in appearance and have flat screen televisions displaying infomercials for some drug company touting their latest pill which will relieve your ailment but cause 5 others as side-effects...then don't bother coming here. At Dr. Webster's office you will receive pain relief, not ergonomic chairs in the waiting room from Ethan Allen. read more

Over ten years ago, I met Dr. Webster. I had a minor motorcycle accident and did not even fall off. I ended up only being able to stand for 30 seconds at a time because the pain was so high. I spent about 10k in insurance money but the doctors did not know why I was in pain. They suggested that I have surgery. A friend suggested I see Dr Webster. I walked in and he knew what was wrong immediately. He said that in less than 20 min I would no longer be in pain and that in 48 hours the feeling in my toes would come back. He explained that my hip bone had shifted onto a nerve during the accident. He painlessly moved it back into place. He was right and 30 minutes later I walked out with no pain and for less than 50 dollars I was back to normal. Now I see him three to four times a year when I feel something is out of place. He has taught me to tell when I am out of alignment before It becomes painful. He is a very gifted healer and a very nice man that truly cares about the people that come into his office. read more

Not sure why all the 5-star reviews. I have been to many different chiropractors and some accumpuncturists. Never a naprapath. Here is what I experienced... Immediately when I walked in, the smell of cigarette smoke was overwhelming. Almost to the point of leaving. But since he got 5 stars from so many people I thought I would tough it out. Not sure is he is the smoker, but it is nasty!!! There is no reception area or front desk. The waiting room is more like chairs and some junk laying around with magazines thrown on top of the junk. Dr. Webster came out and told me to go to a room. I can hear him talking to another patient. Dr. Webster was not what I had pictured. He is old and has a slight dowagers hump. Very nice man but definetely past retirement age. As I lay down on the very small and uncomfortable table, I can clearly hear the conversation with the patient next to me. If you hold HIPPA laws to a high standard, this place is not for you. The walls are not complete to the top and the Dr. does not close the doors. So he put the muscle stim on me and went back to the other patient. Then he came back to me and did some manipulation, which, honestly, I couldn't feel anything that he was doing. Then he went back to the other patient. Then he came back, now starting to sweat, and did some more manipulation on me. Some of it painless and some was aggrevating my injury. Then he went back to the other patient. Then he came back to me for a final time for one more "maneuver" All in all, I would not go back. He is a nice man but I felt slightly worse that day and the next. He never asked anything about a medical history so in my mind he should not just start manipulating my body without knowing what the issues are. I found the experience strange. If you decide to use Dr. Webster, don't say I didn't warn you. read more

Went to Dr. Webster for chronic headache/sinus problems. He listened to me blabbering on about every detail and kept the answers simple. Did accupuncture, and offered some advice on my diet. It has been about 6 weeks and I have been much better. His office is the opposite of fancy or even proper but does that really matter if he can actually help people? How many doctors offices have you been to that are state of the art, with receptionists and a huge fish tank but left with no results? Go with an open mind and a relaxed attitude and you will enjoy an affordable, helpful doctors visit for once. read more

Dr. Webster is absolutely amazing. His regular saying is that he is here to help people, and I am one of the lucky ones he's helped.

This man is magic! He fixed my back in one visit. He relieved my tendonitis. A friend had called his office on a Sunday while she was on vacation and, not only did he answer the phone himself, he was able to find her a Naprapath to see her that day in the area she was vacationing. He is a great practitioner and goes above and beyond the call of duty! read more

Amazing, knowledgeable and kind man. I went when I thought I had carpal tunnel and he fixed my wrist in one visit. When something hurts he is the man to see. read more

I love Dr. Webster. Over the past few years Ive seen him for back pain and hip pain. He works wonders! His office is no frills and he is more affordable than other naprapaths in town. I love his positive attitude. My visits usually started with a talk about my aches and pains. Then he'll put me on the electric stim machine to loosed up the muscles. After the is the manual manipulation. All in all I'd say the appointment is about 30-40 minutes. I've been having a chronic stiff neck lately so Ill be visiting you soon Dr. Webster! read more

this man is terrific. office is no frills, or maybe even a little less. BUT... he has strong hands and and uncanny knack for "connective tissue." :-) He is also a genuinely nice fellow. very confident in his skills, healing, alternative medicine. read more

Yes! Yes! Yes! Definitely must share this recommendation after procrastinating with pain took my husband to see the great wizard of naprapath, I had been here in the past literally crawled in & walked out. I was amazed so I told my husband dealing with pain like a pinched nerve & under shoulder blade you must go we called got in same day Saturday a PLUS!! & after waiting so long the doctor snapped him into place also did a lil acupuncture & lit up some tiny lil cones that smelled like incense (explains previous review about cigarette smell it's not cigarette but what he burns & puts on you, I'll add a pic) my husband was pleased & wonder why after ER visit & doctor visit we didn't come here 1st. $40 & he was half way better then when he waked in. So DO come in you won't regret it. (Regret ER room they did nothing but bill us. This Dr gets better over time knows his stuff. Truly gifted, his calling. Now make yours!! read more

See all

Dr. Webster is the BEST!!!! I've been a patient of his since the the late 80's. He's treated me for various aches and pain and usually in just one visit. There have been a couple of times when I could barley get out of the car let alone on his treatment table, but I always leave better than I came in. My treatments usually start out with electric stimulation (tens) and my favorite the moist heat, most times with just one visit. I have recommended Dr. Webster to friends and co-workers and they hesitate, choosing rather staying with their traditional treatment methods. When they do finally give him a try (after not getting relief) they ALWAYS say the same thing......."Why did I wait so long?" I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Webster as my Naprapath!!!! read more

Any other probems he will be my first stop! read more

Dr. Webster is a truly skilled man! My sister-in-law recommended him to me when I had lots of pain from doing legal secretary work and court reporting. He is very professional and so patient and knows his stuff!. He may not have the most modern office or even a receptionist to handle all his calls and payments, but he definitely has lots of love for his work. I have sent lots of people for adjustments and work and they love him too! Give him a try if you are in any pain. read more

I have been visiting Dr. Webster for over 30 years. This man is truly a healer. When he lays his hands on you, you will get relief. He will tell you it my not be immediate, you will feel better the next day. I thank the lord he had his wine and Wheaties. When I leave his office I'm good for 100,000 miles. If you have back or muscle pain, he probably will help. Thank you Dr. Webster for being you. read more

Dr. Webster is God sent! He believes in natural healing and will do all he can to relieve your pain/symptoms. Take Home advice.

I had the wonderful chance to meet Dr. Webster and experience his gift yesterday. I was having some back pain and thanks to yelp, I looked up chiropractor in my area, and his name with 5 stars and 15 reviews popped up. After reading each review, even the complainer that gave 2 stars (always a sour apple in a bunch) , I was convinced. I called him and he was able to give me a time to see him that day. All I have to say is what a lovely, lovely man. His spirit/energy is so beautiful. He explained everything he did and what the significance of it was. I highly recommend him to everyone. Just realize though he is not labeled a chiropractor, he is even better- he's a naprapathy dr. (very similar to chiropractor but look it up if you want more details) Very intelligent man who clearly knows what he is doing. I will absolutely be going back if I ever experience pain in the b/c the healed whatever was going on. Words can't describe how amazing he is at not only what he does, but who he is as a human being- a true angel. read more

Dr. Webster is a miracle worker. I used to have to go to a chiropractor 2 or 3 times a week for recurrent neck pain. I know go to Dr. Webster once every 2 months or so once my neck starts aching. I leave his office feeling like a new person. Highly recommend. read more

I've been going to Dr. Webster for years. He adjusted my back after two accidents and never have back problems anymore. He also does cupping and acupuncture. I recommend anyone with back problems to go to him for a visit. read more

After recommendations from various friends and family i went to see Dr. Webster after having upper back pain from sitting at a computer 8 hrs per day. Dr. Webster did an adjustment and some massage to the area. He describes what he does, why he does it, and how its supposed to help you. He also recommended some exercises that I should do to keep the problem from coming back. As a bonus he is a nice guy and isn't an uptight doctor just waiting to get rid of you so that next patient can come in. read more

InApril 2015, I was diagnosed with a left shoulder impingement. I went thru 6 week of PT and it wasn't getting much better. My chiropractor told me that if my pain didn't go away my only alternative was surgery! I really didn't want that so I went to see Dr. Webster after he was recommended to me by a co-worker. I met Dr Webster and discussed my symptoms with him. After a short but comprehensive discussion, he brought me back to a treatment room. Dr Webster was able to pinpoint the origin of my pain in a matter of minutes! He did a treatment called "cupping" on my shoulders ( which is an experience in itself if you have never had it done). He also had these tiny metal squares that he placed on my shoulders/arms and lite the ends on fire. Believe me at this point I really didn't know what to think but I figured that since I tried everything else up to then I might as well keep going. After a few minutes the metal squares went out (they got a little warm but nothing to bad). Dr Webster came back into the room, removed the metal squares and told me that over the next few days I should start to feel better. I did have some relief from the pain right away but nothing major. I figured it was worth a try! Well let me tell you, it's been 8 months since I saw Dr Webster and my shoulder feels great!! Like he said it did take about 5 days after the treatment to feel completed normal in my shoulder again but it was well worth it. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars! Dr Webster is fantastic and I would (and have) recommend him to anyone in a second! read more

I would have to agree with all of these reviews. I went to see Dr Webster after searching desperately for help online. My back recently "went out", I never knew what this meant until it happened to me for the first time. I was in unbearable pain, I thought I should just go to the ER. I came in to see him because of the reviews, and he made time for me the same morning I called. He was pleasant, genuinely concerned and a compassionate person; An honest man. He told me exactly what to expect and mentioned I wouldn't feel total relief for 72 hours. He told me to expect soreness the next morning and he was right, I was even a little skeptical that I wouldn't improve. He called me the next day to check up on me, and I am starting to feel so much better. I trust by tomorrow I will be okay to go back to work. I have never experienced that kind of pain before and I was pretty scared, the initial relief had me shed tears of happiness. His primary concern is to help people and it shows. Because all the reviews have influenced my visit, I felt obliged to add my own! read more

Doc Webster treated my neck, shoulder and back pain from a fall on a store escalator where I tried to catch myself. After 8 weeks of pills, message and my back board, my Zumba teacher recomended Doc. I did read all the reviews and went to see him. He told me he could fix me up in one session, and he did! My sister went 2 weeks later after straining her back so badly she could not straighten up. He told her he would make her 90% better in one visit, and he did! So I sent my sister from Idaho who had post-herpatic neuralgia for 6 years after having shingles in her ear. He performed accupuncture and it was over 50% better. She is calling him back this week from Idaho with the name and number of an accupuncturist from Idaho that Doc will give the protocol to for her next treatment. He believes that if she has one more treatment she will be nearly cured of her intense pain. She has been taking 4 Rx pain meds every day for 6 years! He also told her to order some mushroom-based meds off the Internet for her pain management. My other sister is an RN and none of us had ever heard of this natural medicine. Doctor Webster truly is a miracle worker. He told me he has kept thousands of people out of surgery, and I believe him! And his appointments were only $40! I've spent that on pain meds! read more

The good doctor was recommended to me by my daughter. She has seen him twice for two different issues and was very happy with the results both times. I am pretty healthy and just thought I would keep in the back of my mind if I ever needed a Naprapath. Five months later I was in so much pain with my hip that I had a constant limp and was getting pretty uncomfortable. I own my own business and can not afford to take a day off just because I am in pain. I went to see Dr. Webster and yes it is true that the office is far from fancy or modern but I did not go to sit in a nice waiting room. I went because I was in pain and when I left I was not in pain. I was still a little sore for a few days after my visit but that improved everyday and now I am pain free and able to work my 8 and 12 hour days without having to keep a large bottle of Aleve close by. He is reasonable priced and I hope he will not be retiring any time soon. read more

Dr. Webster is awesome. I was involved in an auto accident almost 7 years ago which left my right side weak and painful. The MD's told me this was all they could do, they kept offering me pain meds, which I did not what. I am in my 30's and I was not able to go up or down steps with out supporting myself on the rail and dragging my right leg. I was in pain all the time, I was taking ibuprofens, naproxen, and Tylenol all the time... I have been to Dr. Webster twice, he is sent from heaven.... On the first visit I was able to walk, immediately after the adjustment. I was walking not dragging my leg, but walking, I skipped out of the office. I felt normal again and about 10 years younger. It lasted a few month and then I need to go back because started to get some pain again. I was healed! Again! How do you spell relief R-A-M-O-N-D--W-E-B-S-T-E-R! By the way I am on NO pain meds what so ever!!!!! read more
