Confederation Chiropractic Clinic: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended
Negative experience: Terrible customer service. They demanded payment for services my child never received. When I refused to pay, they removed my entire family from their service. Be careful. I do not recommend them!!!
Fantastic experience: Great place, fast and friendly service. Roger fixed my back problems in two sessions. Could not be happier!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Dean has my sincere gratitude for all he has done to keep me on my feet. He is truly amazing. And the staff is so friendly and pleasant that it is a joy to come to the office. Merry Christmas to all of you!
Fantastic experience: Been going here for decades to see Dr. Kiva. He does amazing work. The whole staff is great. Expanded now to acupuncture and massage.

Fantastic experience: Very professional. Recommended
Fantastic experience: We've had such a wonderful experience at Confederation Chiropractic Clinic in Saskatoon. Dr. Alison (Chiropractor) and Dr. Minsoo (Acupuncturist) are both incredibly skilled, compassionate, and genuinely caring practitioners. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel welcomed and at ease. Dr. Alison’s chiropractic treatments have done wonders for relieving our body pains and improving our mobility. She listens attentively and tailors each session to what we need most. Meanwhile, Dr. Minsoo’s acupuncture sessions are calming, effective, and have brought so much relief. His gentle and knowledgeable approach makes every visit a relaxing experience. We’re truly grateful to have found such a dedicated team. Highly recommended to anyone looking for quality care and lasting relief!
Fantastic experience: Dr Evan and all happy Ladies are very friendly and great at their work
Negative experience: I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Roger Kiva for back issues I was facing. He instructed me to get x-rays done in which he then instilled fear into me and said not to use my back. He proceeded to adjust one side of my body. A month in when I wasn’t seeing any results I requested the write up from my x-rays from the technician in which it stated my spine was healthy. Be careful with the doctor and very aware. Shady guy who’s money hungry.
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr.Kiva for 12 or so years on and off, amazing guy. I've also had a great experience with the other staff when Dr.Kiva's schedule is too full. I bring my 3 year old here as well to make sure everything in his development is going well.
Fantastic experience: Staff is always polite, professional and friendly. They great you with a smile every time. I see Dr Roger kiva for chiro and Wynand and Corey for massage, all are very professional and very easy to talk to.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Dean is very good, his staff are amazing. My wife and I go there for cyropractor, masage and acupuncture. Loyal customer since 1998.
Fantastic experience: Dr Allison is phenomenal! Very professional and helpful
Negative experience: I came in today with the expectation to get my back adjusted, as you'd normally expect from a chiropractic clinic. The chiropractor refused to adjust my back or ANY part of my body, but was fine with charging me $60. Go somewhere else if you want to get adjusted.
Fantastic experience: Gold!! Simply Gold. Dr. Evan is the man. Great ambience and very good treatment. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Great experience as always. Really helps my husband and son when needed.
Fantastic experience: Staff is always friendly and happy when I'm calling or when there in person. Dr.Rak is always available when he's needed by our family. All chiropractors here are amazing people. Will see anyone of them.
Fantastic experience: I began with chiropractic care from Dr. Kiva, who is skilled and fabulous. Then I added on Massage Therapy with Wynand Kemp, a friendly RMT, who always leaves me feeling relaxed after I see him. Most recently I began to have accupuncture treatments with Minsoo Kim. Minsoo is great at his work and has made a huge difference to me. I am so pleased to have the skilled people at Confederation Chiropractic keeping me healthy.
Fantastic experience: The staff at the clinic are always friendly and efficient. Dr. Kiva is highly skilled and knowledgeable. The other doctors are great as well.
Fantastic experience: Amazing Staff. Get me in on short notice when I need and extra adjustment in-between my regular schedule. Dr Dean is amazing.
Fantastic experience: Awsome experience and they are so accomodating friendly staff and Dr. Evan is awsome, fantastic and knowledgeable! will have to go back to that place absolutely! 5 Star!
Fantastic experience: The first time I saw Dr. Rak , I had many issues with my back. I was unable to sit, stand and walk without pain. I was sent for xrays before any treatment. The next day we decided on a treatment plan for my back and psoas( who knew). We knew it would take months if not years to feel better. With Dr. Rak's patience and time, I made gains, he set me up with stretching and strengthening programs. It took time with alot of patience and persistence with Dr. Rak's knowledge and caring. I am and have been on the maintenance program for quite a while. Thank you for being there for me. Linda B
Negative experience: Very Unprofessional approach towards patient, receptionist non cooperative, non courteous, wasted patient’s valuable time
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and everyone's been great to deal with
Fantastic experience: My first experience was really great, and I'm a patient ever since.
Fantastic experience: The level of care that I have recieved from Dr. Briere has been beyond excellent. The first time I showed up to the clinic I could barely stand up straight let a lone walk without being in pain. They sent me for x-rays so they could better understand what was going before they made any adjustments. This is the first time a Chiropractor has even done this for me, I have been to plenty of different ones when I lived in Calgary and I have to say that Dr. Briere blows them all out of the water with how much she cares and the level of care she takes when making adjustments to your body. Dr. Briere takes the time to make sure that I understand what my body is doing and how we go about correcting it, she makes sure that I am comfortable with any adjustment before she does it. She takes the time to follow up and always has a plan. I have never seen a doctor treat their patients like this and I would recommend anyone in the Saskatoon area consider using her as your Chiropractor. I have also been seeing Minsoo Kim for acupuncture at the same clinic and his level of care is amazing as well. The combination of both Dr. Briere and Minsoo is one of the best one-two punches I have had when it comes to getting my body healed and me back to living a pain free life. Confederation Chiropractic clinic is one of the best I have been to in my life and all of the staff are friendly and amazing.
Fantastic experience: My whole family goes to the Chiropractor and massage therapist at this clinic. They are fenomenal! Including my 13 y old and 6 year old. Yeah I trust them that much! The ladies at the front are on top of schedules, booking, reminders and such. Beautiful, modern and clean atmosphere. Always go back.
Negative experience: High tech with low quality service. They issue customers a fob to sign in when you arrive and scan when you enter a treatment room, which will automatically bring up your file. Convenient for them, but the chiropractor spends as little time as possible with you. They will always recommend that you require a number of treatments at $50 for 5 min or less. I feel ripped off when I leave. I have found a new Chiropractor.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service , back alignment or adjustment in the body for injuries like car accidents, recommended for all , my Dr. Dean Potapinski can help you in every need you have !!!
Fantastic experience: Minsoo Kim... acupuncture is the only treatment for my condition. Massage, chiro, and physio did little to correct the issue, but Minsoo's knowledge allowed him to quickly diagnose and begin a course of progressive therapy. There has been significant improvement in just 2 treatments. I was referred, and would refer him to all.
Fantastic experience: Doc Dean Potapinski, always keeps me healthy and kicking, even after my weekend warrior escapdes and injuries. The staff are super friendly, helpful and pleasant. Fantastic office manager Charmaine. Healthy wealthy and wise? Then get your charismatic health at the right place. Confed chiropractic. Thanks Deano!
Fantastic experience: Front desk has very quick and friendly service. My chiropractor was very knowledgeable and helpful as well
Fantastic experience: Dr. Briere is awesome! The front staff are also super nice and helpful!
Fantastic experience: Dr Dean and the ladies are great. Highly recommend this place! They do massages there as well and acupuncture!
Positive experience: Took my friend to his appointment there for his accident claim! Very organized & friendly staff lots of people going in & out of there daily!
Negative experience: I was a client here with Dr.Dean for 15+ years. He has helped me with lots over the years and I had never been to any other chiropractor and would always recommend him to everyone. But in the last couple years that has changed. This place has lost its way. It has become all about squeezing out every dollar possible. Trying to get you done as quick as possible resulting in them only doing half the work on you. Feels like he doesn’t actually listen to what’s bothering you but rather just try’s to do the same cracks every time and moves onto the next person as quick as possible. He hurt my mom not once but TWICE in his last appointments with her after she told him not to crack a certain area. He proceeded to do it anyways at both appointments!! Never felt like I was getting worked on completely every time I went. Finally decided to give a different chiropractor a try (Stonebridge Chiro) and got a much better experience, actually feeling satisfied after my appointment which is something I haven’t felt in years since. I recommend Stonebridge Chiropractic instead much better there.
Negative experience: I'VE BEEN A CLIENT TO THIS COMPANY FOR 12 YEARS AND EVERYONE IS VERY APPROACHABLE. DR. RAK HAS BEEN SO AMAZING AND EASY TO TALK WITH. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE UP UNTIL NOW TO THIS COMPANY IS IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT TO MAKE CLAIMS BECAUSE THEY DON'T AUTO-CLAIM UP FRONT. CUSTOMERS HAVE TO ASK A RECEIPT AND GO ONLINE TO MAKE CLAIMS. OTHER SMALLER COMPANIES LOOK AFTER FOR THEIR COSTUMERS IN REGARDS TO THEIR CLAIMS. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS BECAUSE THIS IS TOO HASSLE FOR US COSTUMERS IN CLAIMING ONLINE.SOMETIMES WE LOOSE OUR RECEIPTS OR EVEN FORGET TO MAKE A CLAIM. IT'S AS IF, " WE ALREADY GOT YOUR MONEY ANYWAYS, WHY BOTHER ON YOUR PART"! THEY ARE JUST TOO LAZY TO DO EXTRA WORK FOR THEIR CLIENTS! THAT IS WHY IT'S A 2 STAR FOR ME.
Fantastic experience: The staff at the clinic is extremely helpful and pleasant. They make me feel so welcome. The care and the discussion the doctors and the massage therapists provide is awesome and helpful. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone who is seeking chiropractic care, massages, orthodics and accupuncture. This will be a positive experience for you health care. Harriet
Thank you Harriet for the great review!
Fantastic experience: I've been going here for almost 10 years. My Chiropractor Dr. Dean is renowned throughout Saskatoon and most caregivers (me including) will only go to him and no one else.
Positive experience: I have been going to confed chiro for about 15yrs. The one thing that is pulling me away from giving a better rating is that they do not do direct billing. I have since followed an acupuncturist an massage therapist elsewhere because of this. I've been asked about where I go for chiro (Dr. Rak is great) and 95% of the people I tried to send confed chiros way have not gone there due to NO DIRECT BILLING!
Fantastic experience: The best place to be, very friendly and you leave feeling 100% relief
Fantastic experience: Dr. Dean and Dr. Kiva are great at their craft. Each explain what they are doing, put you at ease, and provide relief for sore back, legs, wrists, shoulders, etc. Some days it seems they perform miracles. Their staff are also awesome. My family also use them and have same experience.
Fantastic experience: Been going there for awhile staff is very friendly doc's are great also this place makes you feel welcome
Fantastic experience: Courtious and friendly staff. Knowledgeable and rarely make you wait. Your time is respected and you get in on your appointment time.
Fantastic experience: Great clinic! I started attending during the pandemic & felt both safe & listened too. The front desk is efficient and a friendly group of administrators. You eventually get a Fob key to make sure that things move quickly. I see Dr. B and I have nothing but good words to say about her. I haven’t seen anyone else yet, but am looking forward to booking a massage. My negatives are that they don’t direct bull to your insurance, but that’s not the end of the world. It’s on the far Westside, and I honestly don’t mind driving from the Eastside, once you get to Circle it’s just a matter of minutes till your there.
Fantastic experience: I've been going here for years, the staff is great, they always greet you by name when you walk in, massage and chiropractic services here are excellent!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Kiva is awesome. Ladies at the front are super friendly.
Fantastic experience: Dr Dean and his staff are amazing. Helped me with my lower back and neck problems. Clinc is very will run and the staff are great!
Negative experience: Honestly waist of time, no one should be paying 50$ with a 10 to 20 min session, with just little done. And tell you to come back each time and have just one thing done, like crack your toes, okay that’s it for today come back tomorrow will crack you neck next, like…. With all do respect did not like the experience one bit
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff 10/10. Ive been dealing with DR Kiva is very knowledgeable about his profession and he is great personality.
Fantastic experience: Been a client for almost 10 years now. It has helped me be mobile. The dr's are very knowledgable and will help you feel better. The reception staff are very kind and friendly.
Negative experience: Went to Dr. Roger Kiva for a lower back problem. I honestly feel like I was treated like cash flow and not a patient here.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to this clinic for about a little over a year now and after every visit I'm always feeling better than when I first go in for my chiropractic appointments. Service with Dr. Brier has always been a great experience, always polite, friendly and will accomodate treatments to suit your needs and will do a little extra when you ask if it is doable. The clinic itself is very atmospheric, and has an interesting system where you sign in with cards or keychains which stores your personal info so you can actually see all the notes on your treatment right on screen. If you lose them though it will cost you, same with late appoint. ments or not rescheduling within 24 hours. Would I reccomend this place? Abso freaking loutely. Although if you're terrible with having things come up last minute or have a crazy schedule I would be mindful about setting you appointments up as this can be costly.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Taguen Rak (chiropractor) and Brad Chalmers (massage) always look after me. Ladies at the front reception are always friendly and greet people as they step into the building. There's more I'd like to add but can't find the right words at the moment.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to see Dr. Dean Potapinski at Confederation Chiropractic for over 17 years! He's seen me through high school, car accidents, a few pregnancies and everything in between! My whole family goes to him for our chiropractic care and we always leave feeling better than when we came in. The office is clean and the other staff are amazing too!
Fantastic experience: This is an amazing place to go, they are all friendly, they are more then willing to help you get back to doing what you need to or enjoy to do. They are will to help you find ways to live life to its fullest. They listen to what what you say and they explain what it is you don't understand.
Fantastic experience: I (and my entire family) have been clients at confederation chiro (Dr. Dean Potapinski) for 20 years. I can't say enough about the care that Dr. Dean and the staff have given to myself and my family. Approx 10 years ago my son Dylan got sick. 2 different medi clinics and emergency misdiagnosed him. Dr. Dean encouraged us to take him back to the hospital (different one). Turned out he had pneumonia that required emergency surgery (they drained 4 liters of fluid from his lung). I truly believe Dr. Dean saved his life. Then 5 years ago I had a rare spinal stroke (that's always been fatal). I went from paralysis from the neck down to paralysis from my chest to my hips. My nerve pain is unbearable some days. Dr. Dean always gets me in immediately and always goes above and beyond. He and his staff are truly caring people. My family is incredibly grateful. ❤❤❤
Fantastic experience: The Confederation Chiropractor Team are lovely and very pleasant. I've been getting chiropractic treatments from Dr.Kiva ,massage therapy, and Acupuncture treatments....All my treatments I am very pleasantly pleased....Thankyou Team and Staff
Thank you Pam for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: Great place, Great staff! I have been using their services for years and could not be any happier! Regular adjustments has allowed me to live my life pretty much pain free. Thank you for all that you do.
Fantastic experience: Dr Dean and the other chiropractors have been helping my family stay healthy for years. I took my boys in as newborns and now they know that every physical injury comes with a trip to the chiropractor. We’re so grateful for our chiropractor.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Kiva and his staff are great...super professional and a great example of how a business should be ran.
Fantastic experience: Everyone is friendly and professional, and the chiropractor and massage therapist I went too are very knowledgeable. Will definitely go there again.
Fantastic experience: Great place with great staff I am happy with how good I feel after leaving body and mind
Fantastic experience: I went to see Rhoda, one of the massage therapists there. She made me feel comfortable and open to receive treatment . She wore protective gear and worked on me all the while talking with me ways to improve my pain management for my nerve issues. She also is super friendly, and has a great caring vibe!
Fantastic experience: I am always very happy with Dr Rak and all of the staff at Confederation Chiropractic. They are super friendly and always accommodating.
Fantastic experience: Everything here runs like a well oilled machine. I've never had to wait more than ten minutes for an appointment. The girls at the front desk are all very friendly and explain exactly what needs to be done before or after you see a chiropractor. The actual doctor I see is great. During my first visit he listened to everything I had to say and checked out all the areas I had problems with. He sent me to get tests done right away so we could confirm together what was wrong. I've only been there for about a month but I'm already constantly feeling much better day to day.
Fantastic experience: This is an amazing group of people! I am always welcomed with smiles and they are so accommodating for scheduling. Dr. Dean pays attention to my concerns and asks questions, which shows a genuine interest in my well-being. Always feel so much better when I have my sessions and get on with my day! Thanks to everyone for all you do!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to this clinic since it opened. Dr. Kiva is wonderful. The staff is always super friendly. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Great place. They also have a card you can use to check your self in which is helpful.
Positive experience: Have never had a bad experience. Staff are always friendly and all the specialists are excellent. I would give it 4 stars but they don’t have direct billing to benefits. Have recommended to friends and they always say ‘great and do the have direct billing to benefits’?
Positive experience: DO NOT SEE DR. RAK. I could have sued for malpractice for adjusting me with a fractured rib and improper orthopedic testing. Also, I am an RMT and refer my clients to Dr. Dean. The front staff have been booking my clients with Dr. Rak and my patients are complaining to me and getting angry about it because the front staff doesn't listen to patients and book them in with Dr. Rak anyway.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff with great service. Have been a regular for along time. Would Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: It's nice to come into a place when greeted with a smile and very pleasant people no matter what time of the day.. They are very welcoming and helpful and the service they provide is over and above. A truly recommended place!!!
Fantastic experience: A great way to start my day or end the day, the office hours are convenient. The staff are very friendly and helpful .The atmosphere in is upbeat and professional... would highly recommend staff and doctors
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Confederation Chiropractic. The front reception staff is always very friendly and cheerful. Dr Julie Darchuk is amazing. She is very professional and genuinely cares about your health & well being. She is very through and her treatments have immediate results. I always feel better after an adjustment by Dr Julie.
Fantastic experience: After a long period of back pain, shoulder and arm pain I decided to see my wifes' chiropractor Dr. Kiva. In about 3 weeks I could feel things coming around. I am now once a month for maintenance and feel a million times better. I highly recommend Dr. Kiva.
Fantastic experience: I've never had a bad experience at this place. I've been going here for years. The staff is always friendly and has this great positive vibe going. The chiropractors there are great. Personally Dr. Kiva is my chiropractor and I've recommended him to my friends and family. He's helped me out so much with my back pain and maintenance. Check it out they are a great business!!
Fantastic experience: I can not say enough about this clinic, from the moment I walk in the great staff always with a smile Dr Kiva is great on adjusting my back. And Maria is the best massage therapist I ever met. Great place strongly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Great clinic I have been coming here for over 6 year and have no plans on changing providers

Fantastic experience: Great staff, very friendly. Wait times are minimal, if any. The doctors are knowledgeable and very helpful.
Fantastic experience: We cannot say enough about this clinic and the amazing staff. Our family has been experiencing the benefits of Dr.Dean's adjustments for over a decade (almost 2). His professionalism and genuine caring is second to none. He is invested in our children and listens intently to ALL their stories! We highly recommend Dr. Dean and his entire team for all your health needs. The Wiggins crew thanks you all from the bottom of our hearts!
Fantastic experience: The best place to be when you have aches and pains! Friendly staff and well worth the cost of admission! One big happy family!
Fantastic experience: We have been patients at Confederation Chiropractic Clinic for over 15 years and we cannot say enough good things about the clinic and Dr. Kiva. The front line staff are terrific- very helpful and friendly. Appointments are always on time, rarely do we have to wait. Dr Kiva really listens to his patients and the course of treatment that he prescribes is always bang on. We will always recommend the clinic without any hesitation.
Fantastic experience: Been going for 10 years. Great service and have seen great results. Bring both my kids.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Roger Kiva is fabulous! I have had regular monthly adjustments for years and I am sure these have helped me maintain my regular fitness regime, even dealing with the challenges of MS.
Positive experience: I have been going to this clinic for a number of years for regular Massage and Chiropractic care, both Dr. Kiva and Brad are excellent and between them both they keep me moving. The staff are extremely friendly and help with whatever you need. I would recommend these guys to everyone!!
Fantastic experience: I have seen other chiropractors at different clinics but they don’t even come close to how good Dr Dean has been with my back issues. I always walk out of there feeling better, not only from my adjustment but also the positive energy in the entire office. Love going here!!
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, knowledgable staff and caring chiropractors. Nice to have so many services in one building.
Fantastic experience: Fast and friendly receptionists. Very seldom a long wait. Dr. Kiva and masseuses and acupuncturist are very knowledgeable. Thanks for the great treatments.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Kiva has been one of things that have kept me mobile for over 10yrs, he knows his patients, makes sure they get what is needed, and goes beyond chiropractic help, one of the best chiropractors i have ever been too..I would see no-one else...
Fantastic experience: best chiro clinic in the city! friendly staff, I love going for my monthly adjustments :)
