Fantastic experience: Great Chiropractor, I have been seeing Dr.Dave for many years.

David Lewis Published on Google

Negative experience: Found Dr. Dave per Google reviews did an initial consultation. Advise me. I would need four days a week treatment opted to only do two days a week did sessions for two months costing $55 a session for under two minutes of treatment after two months of treatment advise still having pain That I initially came in for was advised by Dr. Dave that this is a pre-existing problem. There’s nothing he can do about. It went to see Family Doctor Family Doctor told me to stop sessions immediately I have rectified the issue with massage and physiotherapy feel like the doctor was not honest with me and was just interested in receiving the high amounts for his services. I would not recommend this chiropractic office due to dishonesty in regards to treatments very disappointed in the way I was taking advantage of.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Dave has been my Chiropractor for the better part of 5 years and without a doubt he’s the most professional, friendly and courteous chiropractic service provider in Durham. You’re not a client at Back to Balance Chiropractic…because they treat you like you’re part of the family. Thank you Dr.Dave

Fantastic experience: Dr Dave Is an Amazing chiropractor. Been seeing him for a number of years now . Wouldn’t be surviving life without up to date treatment. I have had numerous chiropractors since end of 2008 after a vaccine injury . Dr Dave is one ☝️ of my Top ones I see regularly. And I consider him and the staff almost part of my friends. See them so often and always a pleasure to have someone to chat with . Nice having someone to chat with to distract away from other life events that are stressful. Take my mind off it for a time.

Shannon B Published on Google

Negative experience: Needed my previous X-ray and just received my “medical records” from previous practice. According to Dave’s notes I guess my instincts were right about him and his former partner. Since then his Partner was involved in a “bankruptcy scandal” of the previous clinic. The notes consist of comments about how I wouldn’t shake his hand in greeting or exiting (Dec 2019) . I told him I don’t do that practice especially in cold and flu season yet he continued to question me. Upon exiting he then tried a second time pushing his hand towards me multiple times and getting way too far into my person space during our initial consultation. He came off misogynistic the first time he wouldn’t accept no and questioned me for saying no so I decided right then to find care elsewhere. He then pushed MULTIPLE times to have me sign their care recommendation contract which included how many times a week and how much in total it would cost and I refused because I knew I wasn’t going back but again saying “no” once wasn’t enough he continued to pressure me and it’s funny he even wrote in his notes how I refused to sign and was “confrontational”. What a joke!! He made a woman feel incredibly uncomfortable because he wouldn’t accept No as an answer on multiple occasions and has the gull to say that made me confrontational. Lol

Back to Balance Chiropractic and Wellness Centre

Hi Shannon, we are sorry to hear that our service did not satisfy your expectations. We always appreciate constructive feedback. However, as a professional chiropractor who has been in business for over 30+ years, I have always implemented a number of best-practice procedures, so that we can treat each patient with the highest level of care, dignity, and respect. Personal medical records should never be shared with the online public for your own privacy and ours. Our team works hard to ensure each patient feels welcomed at our Centre and they are pleased with their service. We wish we were aware of your concerns then, instead of discovering them four years after the fact. In any event, we hope you have found a practitioner you are pleased with and wish you the best of health in the future.

I can tell you about his professionalism and his remarkable staff but the greatest testament to his work is that he has done for me what other chiropractors cannot: remedy my back pain. Dr, Macaskill, if you’re reading this, I’m grateful for what you do. Thanks.

Rich Salisbury Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr. Dave for approximately 4 years. Originally visited for some nagging sciatica issues which he was able to address and thankfully it has not come back due to maintenance visits I've been doing over the years. Recently I am having issues in my lower back (unrelated to previously mentioned injury) and have been seeing a lot of improvement since going more regularly since it flared up. Dave is very personable and genuinely cares about your well being and he takes that extra time with you when required. The staff have always been very friendly and accommodating. As for the visits for adjustments, I am in and out pretty quickly due to the efficient way the clinic is run. Highly recommend.

Rich, thank you for taking the time to write these kind words. We are so thrilled we can provide relief for you and support you on your wellness journey.
