Services
At Corbin Chiropractic Clinic you will find a caring environment, dedicated to the needs of individual patients. Our job is to help you; whether you're searching for symptom relief, recovering from an accident, wanting to maintain or improve your spinal health. Services we provide include gentle, effective chiropractic care, massage therapy and spinal strengthening exercises / stretches. Our doctor is skilled at using a variety of adjusting techniques, determined by individual patient requirements and toleration levels.
When we experience trauma or significant life stressors, it is not uncommon to feel that life is unraveling. My most significant goal is to help patients reclaim some control of their lives by improving their mobility, health and quality of life. I assist their body in its innate healing process without the use of medication.
The chiropractic profession was founded in 1895 by a man named D. D. Palmer who began to develop a concept that the body has an internal power to heal itself. By choice chiropractors choose not to use drugs or surgery, and utilize natural approaches to allow the body to heal. Chiropractors work primarily with the spine and its attachments to restore function and health.
Compared to other health care procedures, which include medication and surgery, chiropractic is by far the safest. It is estimated that 140,000 people in the USA die each year from drug-related reactions and nearly 100,000 people die as result of medical errors. Insurance companies who evaluate the risks of all professions, and charge a premium based on the risk the profession poses.

I have felt intense pain for 16 years from a low back injury. I was on pain meds for years. I went and saw Dr Kim and wow. I don't need pain meds to live comfortably anymore. She has made my quality of life so much better in the 6 months I have been seeing her. I still have a ways go go with the damage I have in my body but I have come a long way and even better than what Dr Kim had hoped for or even expected.
When my insurance was being a pain they still worked with me and my insurance so that I didnt have to worry about money only to heal my body. I wish I would have found her years ago. I can never thank her enough.

I have visited at least 10 different chiropractors in the Renton Bellevue areas for my back problems. Dr. Kim by far is the best! You can tell she is experienced and know what she is doing the way she treated me. I asked a lot of questions and she made me felt I am in good hands. She doesn't just treat symptoms but she goes to the bottom of the course.
Not only my pain improved, my posture also gradually straighten up! She isn't like other chiropractor trying to sell your products but wants you to do your due diligence for your own health. my husband hasn't heard from me about my back after a couple of weeks with Dr. Kim he's going to her too.

Finding a massage therapist in the area that takes insurance that is also accepting new patients is incredibly difficult. I was THRILLED when I heard that Corbin Chiro had a massage therapist that was accepting new patients. First bummer, which I was expecting, was I had to wait a full month before I could get an appointment. No biggie, it is what it is, everyone is busy.
Second bummer was when I showed up the day of, they had switched the masseuse without telling me. Whatever, I could care less, I just really wanted a massage. The woman that did my massage did a great job - but this review is not about her, it is about the Chiropractic Clinic. I am not a stickler when it comes to paying for things. If I owe money for something, I will pay it.
I also like to know ahead of time what I am going to be responsible for, so that I don't have any surprises later. Well Sandy, their office person, had me fill out forms, she also included one saying that all I would be responsible for would be my co-payment. She expressed that she had checked and that was the only amount I would have to pay.
Not THAT DAY, specifically, but in general. Yes, that was my understanding as well. Well, fast forward a week after service, I am being billed $160 for the massage from my insurance and they are saying that I am responsible for it. That is because of two reasons. Not only did they switch my massage therapist on me, to someone that was not covered by insurance, but they incorrectly billed my insurance.
I called and told them of this error and they apologized and said they'd fix it. I still planned to go in for my follow up visit because I have back pain and need massage therapy for it. Due to COVID-19 - I decided to call a few days prior to my massage to see if they were still open, and they told me that my massage therapist wouldn't be working for a few weeks. I'm sorry, but shouldn't they have called me and cancelled my appointment? Anyway, I told them I wouldn't be rescheduling at this time because of the unknown.
A day before my massage, they decided to call and tell me that my appointment was cancelled. WTF, yes, I know it's cancelled because I cancelled it. Clearly the left hand was not talking to the right hand. Then, the cherry that lead me to posting this review, the bill I received in the mail from Corbin Chiro telling me that I had to pay another $40, on top of my $30 co-pay, when Sandy ASSURED me that I would only have to pay the co-pay. Again, whatever, it's $40.
If it's my responsibility, I will pay it, but I'm so upset by all of the crap that I had to deal with. When I called to find out why I was billed, I was talked to like I was stupid. I didn't yell, I didn't take my frustration out on the person that I was speaking with, but I vented and explained my situation and I feel like I got a big F- you from her. Well - back attcha. Take your $40 and enjoy being condescending.

I went to Corbin for relief from a migraine after a consultation I was offered a cervical spinal adjustment. I was hesitant because I was already in pain and was fearful it would exacerbate the symptoms but the doctor insisted it would not so I let him. It did in fact give me a terrible increase in pain enough to keep me from wanting to return. A year after I visited Corbin for treatment for that migraine I recieved a post card advertising a free consultation and adjustment for my birthday. Having just suffered an injury that forced me to call out for a day of work I decided to give them another chance so I could get a note of absence. Made an appointment showed up 15 minutes early only to wait 45 minutes before seeing a new doctor.
This time I only had an evaluation and refused the adjustment. When leaving I was told to hold on to the postcard since I didn't get an adjustment they told me I could use it next time. To me this ment there was no charge for the 15 minutes evaluation but instead I recieved a bill for $135. I call to get an explanation and I'm told I'll receive a call back later that day but do not.
I wait a week and call again only to be told I'll receive a call back later that day but again do not. The next day, today I get that call back and get some conjectured response about insurance billing and fine print on the free visit postcard. NEVER AGAIN!

I'm beginning my journey with chiropractic care and so far I am extremely pleased with Dr. Kim. She diagnosed my problem, was 100% supportive when I went for a second opinion and welcomed me back when I decided that her treatment was what I felt best suited me. Dr. Kim is thorough in her diagnosis, she is patient with all of my questions and concerns and she is making me feel better! I am confident in her ability as a healer.

Very friendly, informative and effictive. I was impressed by their new patient chiropractic exam and how data driven it was. They used several imperical methods of measuring my muscle tension and range of motion which helped me visualize what things I needed to work on to improve my own muscle and nervous system health. 5/5 would recommend! And they were open on Saturday!

Dr. Kim is fantastic. She goes out of her way to provide the best care. She has been so helpful in answering all and any questions I've had about my treatment plan. Scheduling my new patient appointment was a breeze, and their schedule is really flexible for follow up appointments. Luckily, when I'm needing a tune up, I am able to drop by for a quick adjustment! Everyone is so friendly, and I will continue to recommend this office to family and friends.

I started coming to DR Kim over 10 years ago when I moved to Renton and I love her and Dr Jubis and all the staff. I have chronic back issues and I see them quite regularly. They will call me when I am overdue for an adjustment or if I forget an appointment.and then they get me right in as soon as possible. They are open until 7pm so people don't even have to miss work for treatment.

Best chiropractor I've ever been to. The staff is very attentive and professional. When I started coming here my back was about to give out due to my work as a ironworker. With there extensive knowledge of the human body what can I say I'm gonna get another 30 years out of my job. The best part is I'm in and out but never rushed.

Outstanding results. Some chiropractors are good technicians, but Dr. Kim Corbin and Dr. E. Jubis are amazing healers. You will receive a careful interview and assessment, followed by flexible and productive treatment. And Ms. Taylor, the licensed massage therapist brings experience with professional sports team and wholistic wisdom to your therapy. Worth the effort to visit this clinic.

Let me start by saying, I have suffered from severe back pain for over 20 years. I started a new job were I sit all day which made the pain almost unbearable. I was told surgery would be the only solution which had no guarantee and there would be a chance the pain would get worst. A co-worker suggested I go to a chiropractor. I have been a afraid for years because of what I saw and heard.
The cracking sound really freaked me out! Being the back pain started to out weight the fear I had. I called for an appointment. My decision was based off of the years they were in business. The lady that answered the phone was pleasant and so helpful. On arrival, I heard a banging that almost made me run out the door. The lady at the front desk looked at me and must have seen the look of fear in my face and began to explain what was going on.
The Dr understood my fears and used a technique that didn't require any "cracking". Long story short after 3 weeks of treatment. The pain is barely noticeable. The Dr. is amazing. Very helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable. 5 minutes every other day for 3 weeks have made all the difference in the world. The cost of going to the chiropractor vs surgery, I saved thousands.
No recovery time. From time to time I ice the area for 20 minutes while I'm watching tv because of a little irritation but that expected because your body is readjusting. No biggie! I wish I can give 10 stars! So happy that I went!

I really like this place. They are friendly and fleixible. The masseuse works magic, the staff is pleasant and my back has shown major improvements since coming here 2 months ago. Appts are so easy and fast. Dr. Corbin is both personable and professional. Small close knit staff feels like family. Highly recommend this place.

I really wanted to like this place and gave it multiple opportunities and left disappointed each and every time. The front desk staff are clueless, rude, and have no idea what they're doing so they give incorrect information and book things incorrectly. The massage therapist is wonderful, but talks the entire massage (I just want to relax) and gossips about how none of the staff is on the same page and how things are being done incorrectly and unethically--not relaxing at all.
At least 2 of my 50 minute massages were only a max of 35-40 minutes due to front desk miscommunication and error in scheduling. I've never had an adjustment from Dr. Corbin herself but she has a male chiropractor on staff that I had to stop seeing because he was making my back pain worse, not better. The office manager seemed eager to make changes and talk with staff, but nothing changed. I've now wasted my annual insurance visits on this place and due to the office manager submitting paperwork instead of the massage therapist (which I was told during my last massage and was told that's illegal) my paperwork was submitted incorrectly so they will not authorize future massage appointments. This place is a joke.

Unfortunately, I never got a chance to walk into this clinic because I could not get past the reception desk. I am not that client that expects to be treated like royalty because I'm a paying customer (I understand everyone has a bad day) however the receptionist was rude and condescending and couldn't wait to get rid of me. The last straw was when she insisted that I cannot schedule the appointment without coming in days prior to my appointment to fill out the paperwork. Paperwork cannot be mailed or emailed, really?! Is this office stuck in the 20th century? When I said I need to find another place that will work with me she quickly wished me a good day and hung up. Horrible, horrible service.

I began suffering from lower back pain, and have been visiting Corbin Chiropractic Clinic since March 2016. The doctors and office staff were very professional, personable, and efficient, and went to great lengths to ensure they provided me with proper treatment. My back is currently feeling a lot better, and I would highly recommend Corbin Chiropractic!

Dr. Kim is awesome! I have been using this clinic for about 3 years now, stopping in when I need an adjustment. I love how personable they are and friendly and willing to work with you in regards to billing. They definitely helped "straighten" me up when I needed it. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for good service. They have a massage therapist too. :

I started visiting this clinic 20 years ago. I've been in and out of their office since. What I am frustrated with is they will always try to run an entirely new exam with x-ray's and a lengthy consult. It makes me feel that they prioritize their business making money rather than treating a customer. All I asked for was a quick adjustment, the same one they've done for 20 years. This has happened to me over the course of 3 -4 times. I like the people, but I'm tired of the up-sale they try on their patients.

Nice people the the front office is asleep at the wheel. I visited them several times last year. The Drs are nice. I kept offering to pay for the treatment as I have a flexible spending account along with my health insurance for co-payments. They kept smiling and telling me "no need, we will just bill your insurance" After the first of the new year I get a bill for a couple hundred dollars.
When I called about it the receptionist said she would take care of it. I asked her to call me back to confirm. I never heard back. I called back the following week to follow up and the same receptionist said it was all taken care of. The next month I get the same bill so I call again. I don't mind having a co-pay, I used to it and is why I have a flexible spending account.
This is the first time a Drs office has refused payment of the co-pay repeatedly during my visit. To get the bill the next year after my flexible spending has run out is absurd. I won't return to Corbin. I like thing neat and orderly especially when talking about finances. I can't imagine how they stay in business with the practices I experienced.
