Office had no staff. Dr. Churchill is very nice but I've been doing chiropractic for over 30 years and was A CA. He was extremely rough I left with more pain Than I arrived with. My husband had same experience. Will not be returning, and no one followed up why 2 new patients weren't returning

Dr. Churchill is amazing. After getting me aligned and helping me find some relief in my pained areas, he even helped me outside in the heat when my car wouldn't start! You're appreciated Dr. Churchill!

I believe in Chiropractic medicine, I have always been helped. Today I found out that I need to take a more active part in my recovery. Cool, I'm all in, so identifying the problem was the first step. Now we stretch and heat and fix it. Dr Julie is very good and she listens. I recommend this office on 103rd to all. The office staff is also very efficient. Thanks guys

Dr Julie is amazing! In my line of work we're always lifting and pulling something. When something snaps or pops out of place, it's nice to know Dr Julie has got our backs!

Dr. Julie is what everyone is looking for in the medical world! Wonderful at what she does, magic hands and all the knowledge. But what may be even better, is that if chiropractic is not what you need she will be honest with you and send you elsewhere. When it is what you need she is fast, accurate and affordable. There are a lot of people in this profession that could learn from her. Always a 5 star event.

Dr Julie Stubrud at Downtown Chiropractic is #Amazing! I have had chronic neck pain and the headaches that go with it from an accident several years ago, but I was hesitant to let someone fool with my neck. Pain was on an almost daily basis. After a few vists to Dr Julie, I have not had any trouble in weeks, and no more headaches! I have been to other Chiropractors in the past (for my back) but Dr Julie is the best! I will be back to see her, for preventative measures.
