Chiropractic care is like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully.

I am a retired Army Combat vet who sustained significant injuries in Iraq, 2005. I have been going to chiropractors since 2005 and Bakke Chiropractic Clinic, Dr. Michael Done, and even the amazing secretary have been the best I have seen thus far. They are professional, efficient, effective for my pain relief and restoration, and very kind.

I will not recommended this place, solely on the basis of their receptionist. When I had called to see if they could take me on as an L&i patient, she became flustered and treated me as if it was not likely. She then called me back, leaving a voicemail the next day to say that, yes I can come in, and she had me down for a morning appointment. Ok, but I was at work, first of all, and I wasn't asked when I could go in to be seen.

So the next time I did have free time to go back, I was hoping to establish me as a new patient. Upon arrival, the (same) receptionist was on the phone, gossiping. Completely disregarded me, didn't even acknowledge my presence. After 5 minutes, she asked me what I needed. After giving her my name, she looks at some notes and tells me that I was a "no show ", And was very rude about it.

She then scolded me on how she'd now have to ask the Dr if I could still be seen, being that I was a no show. I should of told her that to be a no show, I'd have to be an established patient, and secondly, she didn't ask me when I could come in, she TOLD me when to come in. That doesn't constitute as an appointment. When I asked her (because they offer this service) what other chiropractors offer the cold laser therapy, she told me, "I don't know, I'm not familiar with any.

You can drive up and down Pacific and see a lot of chiropractors, I know I see them around all the time". Nice. But I'm asking about a specific service, not a chiropractor. Needless to say, no one has called me back, and for this reason is I suspect she never asked the Dr at all. Completely unprofessional office assistant.

Dr. Bakke and staff are great. I always leave better than when I arrived. Dr. Danan will take the time needed to be sure he has addressed each area and discomfort before I leave. Very accommodating with appointments and any time I need to come for sudden vertigo or fall, etc

Dr. Danan has been my chiropractor for well over 15 years. He has helped me and my family stay healthy. When I first came to Bakke Chiropractic my back was very bad. His adjustments and health recommendations have help me tremendously.

Dr Danan Bakke took his time doing my adjustments and was gentle. He did kinesiology (muscle testing) after my adjustments in order to make sure that everything was in. I felt so much better after being treated, and highly recommend him as a chiropractor.

I've been with Dr. Danan Bakke in Tacoma wa. For 11 years. He and his wonderful crew are helpful and caring. I had had terrible debilitating back pain for over 20 years when my own wonderful chiropractor Dr. John McEachron, in Olympia, sent me to Dr Bakke to try his DRX 9000 Decompression Disc Care machine. Doctor Bakke has Greatly improved my Mobility and Lowered my pain levels to manageable. I have a life again. Yahoo!

I'm fortunate to find Bakke Chiropractic Clinic and many thanks to Dr. Michael Done who patiently works and adjusted me from my work related injury. Also, to Jennifer who patiently does a wonderful job for my back massage. Also to Jamie who always greeted me with a smile and always very sweet on the phone. I highly recommend this place.

I had a broken rib that was put back in place several years ago and my husband had multiple issues lately with his neck, collar bone and jaw, (from a fall) which caused unrelenting hiccups and ear clicking. He is free from all. Dr. Danan Bakke is the best chiropractor of several I have tried.

Disappointed to say the least. Apparently they have no concern over covid-19, as no staff members are wearing masks, and i witnessed the receptionist discouraging someone from wearing one (with an added eye roll). This was days after our state governor had issued a mandatory use of masks, and i expected a bit of prevention in a medical office. They take temperatures, staggered appointments and require masks at all other businesses I have been to, and they are actually not in contact with people's bodies as they in this establishment.

This is in no way a political statement, it is just a disbelief over how a medical trained staff could laugh at and eye roll at safety measures that were put in by the Center for Disease Control. It's pretty simple, and there are lots of other chiropractic offices being mindful about others during a global pandemic, and that's where i will go. Thank you for reading up to this line!

I had a progressive upper back, rib, and chest pain issue for 4+ months. About 4 visits with Dr. Lee cleared it right up! Thanks!

Dr. Lee is fantastic! I have never had any Healthcare provider take as much time, as he does, to make sure that I completely understand my issues and the treatment he is providing. I went here after a rather severe car accident. The day I walked in, I couldn't even reach down a bowl from a high cupboard. Dr. Lee has done a great job of helping me to get my normal life back. Dr. Lee does have a heavy Korean accent, which can make understanding him a challenge, at times, but he more than makes up for that with his sincere friendliness and excellent bedside manner.

Effective & Sympathetic Treatment I came under Dr. Lee's care a year ago. His thougtful care has given me full mobility after 2.5 years and 3 previous physicians had failed to accomplish that. Thank you. I feel a debt of gratitude.

Real Solutions; Real Sympathy Dr. Lee was my 4th Chiropractor after a rear-end collision 2.5 years prior. He was the only one to believe full healing was possible and he took the time to locate the 2 specific problems. Dr. Lee gave me stretches and exercises as the primary treatment. After a couple of months progress was noticeable. One year later I have most of my original mobility back and have not had any setbacks in several months.

I am close to 100%- thankfully, as I had lost hope with other physicians. Dr. Lee has been about healing. I am very greatful. I have a much more full life to prove his effectiveness.

When I arrived for my appointment I was not in pain, just stiff in my neck and mid-back. When I left, I was in severe pain and had bruises! I have been receiving regular chiropractic adjustments ever since an auto accident 18 years ago. When my regular chiropractor moved his office, I needed to find a new one. I decided to give Bakke a try since they were close to my house.

I was told my appointment would take an hour and a half. It took two and half. Dr. Lee kept leaving the treatment room to see other clients while in the middle of my appointment. I told him specifically not to adjust my lower back as I was being treated by another medical doctor for other issues. I only wanted him to adjust my neck and mid-back. He adjusted my lower back anyway leaving me in severe pain. Additionally, he pushed down very hard on my abdomen to "access the muscle connected to my pelvic bone" leaving me with bruises on my stomach.

He did not adjust my neck in the typical chiropractic fashion, but instead poked his fingers hard into my muscles leaving my neck stiffer than when I arrived. I now also had pain in my neck and a migraine. And, if the physical torture weren't enough, they blared Christian music through the intercom into every room. If you are not a Christian, this can be very off-putting.

This is not only the worst chiropractic clinic I've been to, it is the worst medical office of any kind that I've been to. Unless you like bruises and crippling pain, I would avoid this clinic.

I have been seeing Dr. Bakke for almost 17 years. They have a warm, caring staff that feels like family. I always get right in without much of a wait and Dr. Bakke takes the time to address all of my problem areas. He also gives great advice about vitamins and supplements and even dietary questions. They will gladly handle any insurance and billing issues. I drive nearly an hour for my appointments because I am so satisfied with my service over the years, that I refuse to ever see another chiropractor.

I was in a motor vehicle accident and experienced a whiplash injury. As a result I felt radiating neck pain into the right shoulder, arm, and hand. During my treatment plan Dr. Danan Bakke played an intricate part in recommending I see a hand specialist. Thanks to him doctors found a small fracture in the hand. I had a successful surgery and feel SOOOO much better. He's helped my neck and shoulder.

Over a year ago, I came in for Chiropractic care because of low back pain. I had a back injury so severe I could not stand up straight and was in constant pain. So fortunate to find Bakke Chiropractic, after going through numerous physical therapy which nothing seemed to help. Not only do I now consider Dr. Kenneth Bakke to be a miracle worker but also a friend. I would like to thank Dr. Bakke and his staff for helping me able to pursue my career that I am today! Thank You so much!

When I was helping a friend change a flat tire, I pulled the tire off and realized I couldn't stand up. I had this shooting pain in my lower back. The next day, I managed to get to my family doctor, all he could do for me was writing a prescription for painkillers. These did not help me and I ended up missing a week of work. A friend told me to. look for a chiropractor and in my search, I found Bakke Chiropractic Clinic, which I discovered voted among top chiropractors here in Tacoma.

I did not think twice and set an appointment with one of its doctors, Dr. Danan Bakke. I've been so impressed and happy with my experience, Dr. Bakke and staffs have made my chiropractic experience productive and relaxing. So thankful, I've made the right choice!

On several occasions I have been adjusted by Dr. Bakke. My visits are always anticipated and enjoyable. I am always greeted with warm smiles, professional and friendly faces from the front door all the way to the treatment room. Not only are the results phenomenal but the visit is professional and personal. Dr. Kenneth always takes time to make me. feel comfortable and informed.

He has a kind and gentle touch, his sense of humor is only a bonus. It is so much more than spine care; it really is full body care. I have never felt better and can now sit without hurting.

Dr. Danan of Bakke Chiropractic Clinic is very easy to talk to. He takes time to explain everything. He is very thorough. He is a miracle worker and he changed my views on chiropractic treatments. Thanks to him I can continue dancing professionally at the age of 45.

One morning I woke up and was unable to move my neck. It was so difficult turning my head from left to right. It was the worst pain I have ever felt. Dr. Danan Bakke has worked wonders with my neck problems. Throughout my first few weeks I noticed significant improvement. Dr. Danan then suggested that we include massage therapy with the chiropractic adjustments and I am still amazed by the changes in my body. His adjustments have also given me more energy. Thanks to Dr. Danan and his office staff for assisting me to a higher quality of life!

I had meniscus surgery in September and have run a few marathons since then but I have had consistent pain. I even finally got to the point where I couldn't run without excruciating pain! I went to Dr, Jongmin Lee, DC, a doctor that practices Active Release Technique ART and can't believe the results after just a visit. Now I am already able to run better than I have been in the last 8 months.
