Fantastic experience: I have been going to Seeleys Bay Chiropractic regularily for years. Dr. Dodie is always able to fix the issues causing me pain so I can move comfortably again. Dr. Dodie and Pam both take the time to get to know their patients and make them feel at ease in the office. It's a kid friendly environment and I love that I can go to the same clinic for my young daughter's adjustments as well. Highly recommend!
Thank you Katie, we love families!

Fantastic experience: Became a client after having my first baby. Pam and Dodie are exceptional and offer wonderful support. Dr. Dodie has helped with my knee and back discomfort with regular adjustments. The office has also been supportive with providing accommodations with my scheduled appointments.
Thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: I have been treated by a chiropractor for over 40 years. I have been coming to this office for the past 7+ years. Dr. Dodie is a very good clinician and a fabulous person! Regular visits keep my aging body in the best shape possible. She has even treated me after a few accidents (fall in a grocery store, off my bike and after long trips of sitting too much). I’m thankful for Dr. Dodie and Pam (office adm) who keep me well adjusted!
Thank you Joan, you are a great advocate for chiropractic care!

My treatments have helped me to function better in everyday life. If more treatments are needed Dr Elkins accommodates you in the schedule. Helpful hints for body care is given. Extremely professional, educational and knowledgeable in the office. Pam is always cheerful, you are always treated with a warm smile.
Thank you Robin :)

Dr. Elkins listens and varies adjustments accordingly. They allow me to actively participate in life. I am very grateful to Pam as well. She is warm, welcoming, organized and shares her extensive knowledge on local businesses and persons of interest . They are an amazing team and I enjoy visiting office. The atmosphere is healing as well.
Thank you Linda!

Thanks Dr Dodie!
Thank you! We love helping our community!
Fantastic experience: I have been attending the clinic for almost three years and cannot rate it high enough. Dr Dodie is very caring and always concerned about one’s well being. Also Pam, who welcomes you as you enter the office making you feel very welcome and relaxed. One leaves the office feeling very well cared for.
Thank you Karen for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: When I started seeing Dr. Dodie Elkins I was experiencing severe pain every day in my left hip.I could not bend down to put on my slippers without having to throw myself flat on my bed. With a very modern approach to chiropractic treatment, I am very pleased to say that I am pain free, and it only took a few months to get to this point. Dr. Elkins is extremely knowledgeable, very warm and very capable. I never have to wait any longer than a few seconds to be seen. I cannot forget to mention Pam, who run the clinic. Pam is always there to greet you with a warm smile, and make sure that everything runs smoothly. I would definitely recommend Dr. Elkins for any kind of chiropractic pain relief you my need.
Thank you! We are so happy your life has improved!
Fantastic experience: What a Team!!! Dr.Dodie Elkins and Pam ( Admin) offer EXCELLENCE in chiropractic healthcare. Very kind, caring approach, knowledgeable in so many areas and they always greet you with a friendly, positive outlook. You are so well treated at this clinic and without my regular adjustments, I certainly wouldn’t be doing as well as I am. I have been with Dr. Dodie for all my chiropractic needs for years. As my third chiropractor in all of my time with chiropractors, .. she has been the very best in treating my previous back and neck injuries which resulted in permanent spinal issues. Literally, once her hands are on me, she knows exactly what I have been up to! Your recommended exercises are always taken to practice. Both gentle in treatment, and a wizard in diagnosis of what adjustments are due. THANK YOU Dr. Dodie. Pam, you absolutely rock it on bookings and invoicing. Thank you for your continued patience and prompt response when I need times or dates changed. You’re the best!
Thank you so much Carol!
Fantastic experience: The staff here is great, they provide services that work best for you and your schedule. Would recommend anyone with chiropractic needs to go there!
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Such a great experience every time I visit! The whole team is friendly, welcoming, and truly makes you feel at ease. My chiropractor is not only skilled but also genuinely caring, she takes the time to explain everything. I always leave feeling better physically and mentally. Highly recommend!
Thank you Miko!
Fantastic experience: From the moment you walk in, you are welcomed. Dr. Dodie and Pam are wonderful, and the environment exudes holistic, happy, and positive vibes. It is a treat to visit every 2 weeks for my adjustment and I look forward to those visits. The ladies are great and us clients enjoy our chats. You feel like you’ve known each other for years and then we all leave and go on our merry way. Dr. Dodie as a chiropractor is second to none. When I first visited in late 2022, I was in a great deal of pain and constant discomfort. That has all changed, the pain is not there and the adjustments keep me feeling good. I feel I still haven’t quite captured how wonderful the ladies are and how the visit is well...one of my happy places! Thank you for all you do! Kat
Thank you Kathaleen!
Fantastic experience: Very nice people and professional. I would recommend them to anyone.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Elkins and Pam are both fabulous people. You can tell they genuinely care - I can appreciate their conversations and giving tips to further my individual health when things are noticed. I've been able to get out of bed in the morning without severe back pain and I have regained full range of my shoulder/rotator cuff. I am grateful they are so close and I finally started to prioritize my health.
Thank you Lena, so happy we are able to help!
Fantastic experience: Seeley’s Bay Family is the BEST chiropractic office I have ever been to! Dr. Elkins’ treatment plan has helped me tremendously. Pam is the friendliest and most organized person. I highly recommend them for everyone needing to deal with pain and improve their overall health!
Thank you Medea for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: My body was angry at me. My pain level was very unpleasant. My back and hip were on fire. My friend referred me to Dr. Elkins and I was able to be seen quickly. I had xrays done and she made a plan based on my needs. I had been hit head-on at 80km an hour in 1988 by a drunk driver and it's catching up to me. We started with 3 times a week to 2 times a week to one time a week in about 5 or 6 weeks. Now I no longer eat Tylenol. The pain is gone mostly. My energy is way up. My mood is improved. My sleep is improved. And tonight I strode, not little steps, a nice comfortable stride. Thank you so much. I feel more ready to get on with enjoying my life.
We are happy to be a part of your health card team! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I had been suffering with back pain off and on for 9 years. In April of this year I had a consult with Dr. Dodie Elkins and after X-rays and a few tests she was able to create a personalized care plan for me. After my very first adjustment I have yet to have any pain return! I went twice a week for 2 months and at my review my symptoms and nervous system all showed signs of major improvement! I highly recommend Dr. Dodie Elkins!
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: UPDATE-It’s been 7 years now and I literally can’t survive with them. I have a desk job and after my car accident in 2014 I’ve had trouble with my back and ankle. This is the very best chiropractic clinic I’ve been too! These ladies actually care and want you to get better. I am so happy I found you :)
Thank you Jenn for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: So thorough and gets a full picture of what approach should be taken! Helped my teenager puzzle the pieces to a chronic back pain challenge, while also making us both feel supported and heard. Can’t thank her enough!
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Elkins is exceptional at what she does. Although visits are quick, she is very thorough and you will benefit from her expansive knowledge
Thank you Graeme!
Fantastic experience: What a compassionate place. When you do not feel good, these two ladies can really give you encouragement. I arrived nearly in tears and left with a smile. What a relief. I will from now on see Dr.Dodie once a month. So I can keep in shape. Thank you.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Dodie Elkins and Pam are wonderful and very understanding. I booked my first appointment terrified from a past experience. Dr. Elkins is patient and works with my fears and manages to get me relief from my back and neck pain. I am now, no longer terrified and look forward to my appointments and the quality of life I now have! Many thanks to this team!
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Both Pam and Dr. Dodie are kind and most welcoming! After starting a care routine with Dr. Dodie I feel so much more balanced and my neck pain has minimized. I am so grateful!!
Thank you Tori!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Dodie Elkins and Pam are both very professional and kind and have helped me tremendously with the fractures in my spine and am now starting to live a more normal life with their help and kind support. I highly recommend their services to anyone with back pain.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Had my first adjustment and it was glorious!
We are so glad!
Fantastic experience: A 35 minute drive for me but well worth it! I’ve never been to an office so welcoming and comforting. Every time I get an adjustment not only do I feel relieved and relaxed, I also feel refreshed. These ladies are so easy to talk to and so selfless, you’re amazing!!
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough how much I feel welcomed, comfortable and taken care of here. Dr.Dodie and Pam are amazing and accommodating. If you're looking for a clinic this one is the best one :)
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Upon returning to the Kingston area an in need of a Chiropractor I finally found Dr. Dodie Elkins. Having been to about 3 other clinics I decided to give her a try after hearing "word of mouth" from people whom I spoke with giving her high recommendations. I have never looked back. She has been treating myself for over 3 years now, and treated my elderly mother while she was capable to attend appointments. Dr. Dodie is extremely knowledgeable and has addressed the structural issues with my body to ease my chronic pain. Her office assistant Pam and Dr. Dodie make a great team. They are always informative and make every visit a pleasure to attend. I am very happy with Seeley's Bay Family Chiropractic care facility for my personal care "fully recommendable"!
Thank you for your kind words Cathy!
Fantastic experience: I had horrible neck pain and was not able to look side to side.I have been visiting since October and am happy to report my neck pain is gone :)
We are happy to help! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I went from hardly being able to move to walking without pain after just a couple of treatments.
Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked in the office and was greeted with a handshake and a warm welcome from Pam the Office Administration I felt at home. Dr. Dodie Elkins treats the whole you! Body, mind and spirit, her team goes the extra mile! Insight scans, information videos, educational sessions, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and Complementary Assessments for family/friends referrals, just to name a few. We have just moved to the Seeley's Bay area from Simcoe County and I have been so impressed by the care I have been receiving from this amazing team! Thank You!!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr. Dodie for adjustments now for several years. I was so impressed with her technique that I even talked my husband into going for regular adjustments. We are always greeted with a warm smile and Pam always finds a way to fit us in when we need another appointment. We are fortunate to have this level of care in our community!
Cindy you are amazing! Thank you....it is people like you the inspire me to be a better chiropractor.

You are very welcome!! Chiropractic can work in such amazing ways! Happy to help :)
Fantastic experience: My husband and I see Dr.Dodie on a regular basis and we love to challenge her with all kinds of health and wellness questions. Don't think you are only getting an adjustment, you are actually gaining a Wellness Coach. And you will leave with a smile on your face, Pam and Dr.Dodie are so friendly, it doesn't feel like a dry "don't have time for you" medical appointment.
I love the energy and questions you bring to the office!! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Since July 2013, my life has not been the same, thanks to Dr. Dodie and Pam, the wonderful administrator who takes care of us with so much joy. I never realized how much chiropractors can help us. Thank you form the bottom of my heart. May Blessings abound!
Thank you for such a warm loving review! Chiropractic can help in so many ways!
Fantastic experience: I can not say enough about the excellent care given at the clinic. Very professional and knowledgeable. Dr. Dodie offers the best in family Chiropractic and I would recommend her services to everyone.
Thank you Doris!
Fantastic experience: I first received adjustments from Dr Dodie about 8 years ago and really liked my experience. Unfortunately she sold the clinic and I didn't follow her. For the past several years, I have been having severe pains in my hip, knee, arm and lower back. I was told that I was looking at a hip and knee replacement but I wasn't ready for that and I believed that it wasn't necessary. So I called and made an appointment with Dr. Dodie Elkins and my experience was amazing. Dr Dodie has been kind and caring and so sympathetic to my pain and discomfort. I don't leave the clinic in pain nor do I have to return day after day. I am treated, leaving me reasonably pain free, before leaving the clinic. I do have an adjustment every week but that is my choice because I need to correct a lot of years of neglect. Pam Carkner is the other half of the clinic and so friendly and caring. She makes my appointments easily fit my schedule and sometimes that isn't easy but she always does it. I owe both these ladies a seriously big thank you for looking after me so well. THANK YOU!!
Thank you!! We enjoy taking good care of you!
Fantastic experience: Excellent and thoughtful service, a welcoming environment and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this clinic for both athletes and people wanting to improve their day to day health.
Thank you for the wonderful review! I enjoy helping people and my mission is to provide the community with the highest quality chiropractic care and inspire people to live in optimal health and wellness. Thank you for choosing chiropractic care as part of your health care team.
Fantastic experience: I have been under chiropractic care from Dodie for over 15yrs. I am always greeted with a warm smile care and compasion from both Dodie and her assistant Pam. My husband was quiet ill 2yrs ago. Dodie came to our home once a week to ajust him and help him get back on his feet. She is full of life, compassion and importance of family.This makes her a wonderful person in my world.
Thank your for your kind words. I am happy to help where I can. :)
