I moved to the area April of 2021 and was fortunate enough to find Dr Kriss. I really liked his adjustment style. He helped me a lot. I am sad he retired.

I'm disappointed with the ideal protein rep. I've tried multiple times to reach her and she has not returned my messages. I'm going to a different Ideal Protein provider.

I am 60 years old have always been active and continue to lead a very active lifestyle. I ride off-road motorcycles and do labor-intensive commercial electric. Kris and his staff have always been able to help me with their ability to do x-rays and professional advice to help me get through multiple injuries and long-term maintenance! Even now through this pandemic environment we are in today they were able to see me same day and help me through a new injury Thank you everybody at Kris Chiropractic! You're awesome!

Went here 2 years ago and never went back because the vibes felt off, I couldn't explain it but I had a feeling something sketchy was going on. Fast forward to right now, I just got a bill in the mail for $175 for a service preformed 2 years ago. I looked up the claim with my insurance and they had paid them. They are trying to scam me out of money and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Please don't go here

I have been seen by Dr. Kriss for many years. He is knowledgeable and uses a technique that works well for my past injuries. I always feel significantly better after my adjustment. I would recommend Kriss Chiropractic to anyone looking for an excellent Chiropractor.

Kriss chiropractic is the best and knows exactly what to do to fix me up! I would recommend them to everyone on the planet. Knowledgeable, personable, and all around wondertful! And available in these uncertain times. You can be certain you will get the best treatment and feel better if you do what Dr. Kriss and his staff recommend!

Full disclosure I used to work here as a chiropractor. Dr. Kriss is an excellent chiropractor and health care provider. The first visit may take a little longer, like 35 mins to an hour. But an effective chiropractic adjustment only takes about 2-7 minutes on average depending on the person. I understand how if you're not familiar with chiropractic it might seem like a bad thing that it is a relatively quick procedure.

In my opinion, if it is an optimal adjustment it is better if it takes less time. What you get with Dr. Kriss is an honest, straight-shooter. If your spine is in bad shape he will tell you. If it's in good shape he will tell you that too. If it is in bad shape, it may require more care than someone who is in good shape. It is totally up to you what you want to do with that information.

Been go to Dr. Kriss for over a year. He has put an end to my neck and lower back pain.

I've suffered with migraines and muscle tension for a good 22 years. Dr. Kriss was referred to me by my significant other. After a few quick visits I was pain free without a migraine in the last 5 months. I ended up getting rear ended after leaving one treatment and ended up worse then I was. Now I'm good as new! I wouldn't go anywhere else! Very friendly staff! Pick Dr. Kriss you won't be sorry!

Came in with back pain probably caused by my job and mixed martial arts practice. Phil was able to see me the day I called and got me in for some x rays, after a couple sessions the pain receded and after a couple more I don't even feel pressure in my back any more. It's a 10/10 for me!

Do not go here. Dr Kriss is lazy and just a needle device to punch a few areas and set you off and charge you $200. I am use to chiropractors massaging the areas and actually manipulating my body parts so I can get better. Don't waste your money!

Dr. Kriss is great! I had some whiplash that he was able to find, correct and manage. Very helpful and knowledgeable! I also get massages done by Tina along with my adjustment and she is amazing! I've had a lot of massages done in my life and hers is by far the best I've received! She's really intuitive and seriously knows what she's doing. With both the adjustment from Dr. Kriss and the massage from Tina I leave feeling like a million bucks!

Kriss / Hill have been fantastic for me. Been coming here for years as needed for various neck and lower back issues. Staff has always pleasant. Recommend Kriss Chiropractic.

I went in the other day and saw dr hill, for they're advertised "complimentary" exam after waking up with some serious back and neck pain. Needless to say it was not complimentary, extreme false advertising here. Also he did not adjust me at all, or anything for my pain. So I walked away with less money in my pocket and still in pain. I am 24, and healthy but when he looked at my xrays it's as if it was the worst X-ray he had seen in quite a while- but I work for doctors and I could tell his "wow, this is bad, it's gonna take some time but I can fix you" routine was him setting me up for when I would see the big bill and treatment plan at next visit.

My guy instincts were screaming at me that this just felt wrong, and as soon as I got in the car called my chiropractor from a few years ago and boy, when I saw him the next day, the experience was night and day!

I saw dr hill, and he actually made my pain worse; I should have read all the reviews before I chose this place. He contradicted himself, when I asked questions and he wasn't very clear when I asked him questions. I don't recommend this place.

Dr. Kriss is great, very skilled and always got the adjustment right (my mother went to), unfortunately I only ever got the initial adjustment from him (maybe one other but I can't remember) and was treated by the other two doctors. The first 6-7 times it was great and I saw improvement. The next (and last) 4-5 times I went in they told me they couldn't get the adjustment, so I just went home with more discomfort in my neck than when I got there.

So I stretched my next out several times between visits like they told me because they said that's how they would get it next time, they never did so there was no point in going and spending more money. Not a 1 star because the staff and Dr. Kriss were very friendly and helpful.

Dr. Hill is WONDERFUL! The staff show you the costs upfront and give you payment plans and discounts if you can pay upfront (the same way orthodontists and physical therapists do). I drive all the way from Tacoma because of how great Dr. Hill is.

I was extremely nervous about seeing a chiropractor and actually struggled with the decision to see one over the last two years. Finally, after being in discomfort and nothing fixing it, I broke down and went to see Dr. Kriss who was highly recommended by several people I know. As soon as I arrived, I felt more at ease. The environment was clean, calm, and the front desk gal was extremely nice and helpful.

When I saw Dr. Kriss for the initial exam, he helped make me feel more comfortable and at ease but I was still nervous for my adjustment which would take place the following visit. When I went back the following week to discuss the findings (xrays) and the treatment plan, I felt totally at ease and he explained everything extremely well. I also had my first adjustment this day and he explained everything before he did anything and it wasn't bad at all!

Much less scary and intimidating than I thought it would be. Also, the gal who works on insurance/billing was extremely nice and friendly as well. I look forward to continue working with him and his staff! I don't know why I waited so long!

If you have excellent health insurance then this is your place. I went in for a free consultation and then they said come back the next day and we will treat you since I have been in so much pain! I went in, they made me watch a video explaining how the spine works which was interesting, but then they showed me a piece of paper for my treatment plan aka let's use up all your insurance and then make you pay $1500 out of pocket.

I was like, you haven't even treated me yet, I don't even know if it will work!? So I'm not signing up for your $160/month treatment plan. I thought I was going in to get worked on and relieve some pain, but it was like they didn't care at all about my pain and just wanted my money. So if your rich, you can probably afford this place! But if you're not, they don't really care about your pain level.

After moving into the area a few years ago, I searched long and hard to find quality chiropractic care as well as a skilled masseuse. From the first moment that I went to Kriss Chiropractic I knew immediately that I had found both! The staff are always welcoming and friendly, I never have any problem making appointments that accommodate my busy schedule, and the level of care is superb.

Each and every time I get an adjustment, it is centered around my current needs, and not simply a generic adjustment unlike other places I have been. That, accompanied by the massage staff, well its an unbeatable duo. I see Natallia on a regular basis and am always impressed by her. She is a very professional and caring person, which most definitely is seen throughout her work.

My sessions are always focused on what I need, the ambiance is very peaceful, allowing you to fully relax, and you are never rushed. Natallia is very skilled in massage therapy and is overall a delightful person to be around. If you are in search for Chiropractic, Massage, or BOTH.come check this place out.

I would not recommend. They tried the same adjustment 7 visits and told me to be patient. I discussed no results with the doctors after 4 visits. I totally had the vibe of let's run out your insurance. Despite reading other reviews the girls in the office were very nice is my only good comment. The doctors were polite but I felt like my pain wasn't being addressed in a productive way, or just say you may need to see a md doctor. I have had better results from other chiropractors within a week. And being asked to pay all your co payments upfront made me in uneasy.

I recommended a friend here after some severe back damage caused by an accident because this place was much closer to his home. Despite being seen by previous doctors who rated his trauma as severe, this fine institution insisted he would be fine to go back to work fully injured. Do NOT go here, they will play games with your insurance, they do not care about your health or your family.

They should be doing anything and everything to help you heal, not tell you severe nerve damage will heal itself overtime and you'll be alright and pressure you to go back to work while doing NOTHING to maintain or fix pain. This place deserves a 0.

I do a very hard Job which makes my back hurt on occasion. With a little time of making my appointments dr kriss gets me realigned and feeling great again. I will keep using dr kriss as long as I have back problems. I forgot to mention my shoulder was hurt for a a couple of years, I thought it was my rotator but dr kriss proved me other wise and also re aligned it. Feeling great again! Thanks dr kriss and your wonderful staff

Dr Kriss is the best! Started going here with hip and nerve pain in my leg, and within a couple weeks of treatment, it was all gone! I go once a month for maintenance, and recently seeing him once a week for rib pain on left side due to scoliosis and one leg slightly shorter than the other. He fixed me right up with a heel lift and I'm back to normal! I recommend him to anyone who asks me who I see!

I experienced the same issues many have listed. I had a wonderful Doctor, but he was there for a short period of time. When I noticed that they had taken an extra payment out of my checking account (they should have taken last payment in August) I asked the girl at the front desk and she told me she didn't know if I was overcharged because she didn't have my account up. Really?

I decided to check the insurance charges and found a varied amount charged. I was not aware that adding symptoms to their iPad meant I was being charged for each one! Some charges are 65.00 while others are over 200.00. My deductible remains 15.00 no matter the charge so I had no idea until I checked the insurance records. Did I miss that part when we signed up? Update: they still owe me over 500.00 which, in my opinion, should have been caught long ago.

I cancelled my debit card so no more monthly installments would be automatically deducted. Last week they said the money would be credited to my account in two days. That was Monday. It's Saturday and I'm still waiting. I've noticed that since I've stopped going, my neck nerve issue is gone. Interestingly, it started when I went there and stopped a few weeks after I stopped. Coincidence? Just be careful when you select a chiropractic professional. I certainly will not be so trusting.

Worst customer service by the receptionists. These two girls sitting in the front are angry and rude. I have been to this business and have been their customer for nearly a year but the girls in the front desk are horrendous. I'm a person with customer service background and I will never hire them for half of minimum wage.

For a couple of years now, I have had pain in my hips, headaches, numbness in my arm and fingers, most recent are pain in hand and foot. I did not seek any help from any doctor because I did not know I had problem. My husband had this severe pain in his shoulder. The cardiologist and family doctor checked out and there were no problem in those area. Finally, he came to Dr. Kriss.

He made an appointment for me also. We both have seen Dr. Kriss and his associates for 7 weeks now. Both of us are on the mends. All the symptoms are disappearing. There are no more of agoney pain now. We highly recommend Dr. Kriss and his assocites' skill, knowledge about people's body. To us, it is miracles - no more pain pills!

New patient and loving it so far! I am pregnant and been experiencing terrible lower back pain. I'm already getting relief! Front staff and all doctors are really friendly also. Highly recommend!

Lots of poor reviews are not a fair review of the clinic. If you're looking for a in and out adjustment this is not the place. If you're looking for a longer management of issues this might be the place. I like the atmosphere and attention to longer term health.

My experiences here were over 4 years ago and awful. Recently a co-worker visited this practice and has the same experience. While the front office was very friendly (and no longer there) as well as the associate (again gone) everything else was horrible. My first visit (with the associate) was all collecting diagnostic information, i.e. x rays, flexibility, etc.

My second visit was to review the findings. I was placed in an office space to watch a generic video and left to wait, and wait, and wait. When Dr. Kriss finally went through his findings I was told it would cost several thousand (with insurance). When I told him I wasn't prepared to pay that much and could we work around my situation I was told it was "all or nothing" and in a indirect way, "there's the door." Dr. Kriss did seem very educated and knowledgeable; and he knows it and wants everyone else too.

Nice smiles and friendly service isn't all that's needed for a business to succeed. What I found here was a nice office, friendly front desk. But on my first visit I I wasn't adjusted and there was way way to much talking about money and setting me up for a prolonged "program" for treatment. On my second visit I spent most my time talking to a Korean guy which I understood very little from, and my adjustment was less than one minute (no loosening me up, not much of anything) and the whole setup around more and more visits and money, I also got x-rays that were very poor.

I'm going to have to find someone else again. :( I've been to many chiropractors and I don't think this office is doing it's service correctly. Follow up: I went to Jay Pearson in Kent and what a difference! I'm going there for my care from now on. I also understand that others have moved to Pearson's office because of the same complaints.

Everyone at Kriss Chiropractic is friendly and very professional. When you walk through the door you know you will be taken care of. All of the chiropractors on staff are very knowledgeable and good at what they do. I've never felt pressured to purchase something or "keep coming back" like other chiropractors. Although they always recommend maintaining the correction they've provided, there's no pressure to continue on and on.

Their on-staff massage therapist, Corina Morser has magic fingers! She always seems to know exactly where I'm hurting and how to make the pain disappear. She is also very knowledgeable and puts you right at ease. I will continue to see Dr. Kriss and his staff for my future chiropractic and massage needs!
