Reviews of Core Wellness Centre (Chiropractor)

Karen Johnson

We brought our baby to see Dr. Dorken when he was just 8 weeks old. As new first time parents this was a crazy time for us, our baby also had colic and cried about 20 hours out of every 24! The Dr. is amazing with babies and worked his magic, we noticed a difference after the first visit and continued with 4 more visits. Dr. Dorken is a genius! Our baby stopped crying, sleeps better and its now a pleasure to feed him! Babies can come out fast and have blockages as a result taking them here will really help my best advice is not to wait! he performs a very gentle massage technique so its perfect for small babies.

Dr. Kirk is awesome in what he does. I enjoy my visits there. He is helpful in my treatment for a reasonable price.

I have been going to the Core Wellness Centre for 10 months now. Within my first few visits my migraines stopped and my mood was much more positive. The staff is friendly and go out of their way for you, everyone is super friendly. I have recomended this place to friends and family in person, and now I'm doing it on google+. -Rob.

Lilli Forti

I normally don't like completing reviews, just pure lazy I suppose. However there is a time when you make a decision based on your own beliefs. My name is Lilli and I have been suffering from Fibromyalgia for many years and the day was January 2nd. The day of my birthday I woke up and I had horrible pain everywhere and I had been suffering longer then I was diagnosed. So hit Fast forward and I am 50 years young. I've had several surgeries that took a long time to recover from. Then I find out the past two years that my wrist needed to have surgery because I was told I had CTS (pinch nerves in both wrist and the pain was so debilitating that I began looking for a Chiropractor that had some knowledge of patients like myself that could help me with hand manipulation so that I could get some relief and so that is how I found Dr. Kris Dorken and called to get information. I remember speaking with Connie and she made it so easy for me. During my 1st appointment Dr. Kris had a very informative explication on why he became a Chiropractor. He showed us xrays of clients he's helped and so as he spoke about how toxins and how they can get stuck in areas of the body like I was, at least that is what was showed to me on my 2nd appointment as my husband and I stared at the Xrays and I was shocked. Dr. Kris is helping me in so many ways then any doctor or surgeon has for as long as I remember. This man has a gift to help others and I cannot thank him and his staff enough....I recommend Dr. Kris for any problem or pain you deal with and if he can help you he will. He is easy to speak with and my husband and I want those of you who are suffering from pain in your back or anyplace, call TODAY and schedule your appointment now. You have nothing to lose but so much to gain.

Arnaud Baudry

I've been seeing Dr. Dorken for two years now. I originally went for a full assessment, a shoulder pain, and foot pain. I learned a lot about my own body and have strongly improved my posture (I had a bad forward head posture). Dr. Dorken and his team are very caring and really want to deliver to the best service they can.

Marta Ramada

Dr.Kris is incredible. That’s not just an understatement, since beginning adjustments with him, I’ve found that my mobility has been better and I’ve had lower levels of general back pain than I’ve had in years. Also, my posture has slowly begun to get better and that’s with the incredible work of Dr.Kris who is not only amazing at his job but is respectful beyond belief and genuinely takes the time to talk to his patients and get to know them.

Ena Torres

Courtesy and good service and good staff..

Adam Davis

Dr. Kris and his staff have been amazing! The treatment I have received over the last 6 months has been completely transformation. I have gone from having back and neck pain (to the point I couldn't workout) to now being able to workout daily.

Dr. Chris is fabulous. He is kind and great at his job. The front desk is very quick at managing your bookings. I go to Dr. Chris once every week and I am quite relieved of headaches. Look forward to 100% relief

Truly amazing service

Vergie Tabligan

Dr Kris was one of the amazing Chiro in town, i am highly recommend him if you are looking for the best service for adjustment in town. He is very friendy and caring with magical hands to help you relax your back. Staff was amazing too..10 plus Star....:)

Daniel Butterfield

Can't say enough good things about Core Wellness! Great chiropractic care and massage therapy. Office staff is friendly and organized. I've seen great improvements in my time here.

Gordon Kallio

Dr. Kris is a magician, and is clearly meant to be a practicing chiropractor! As a patient that has bounced around from different practitioners due to my travels, I can confidently say that he is one of the best I've been a patient of, and is very thorough in his assessments, which then lead to very fast and effective adjustments. If you have severe pain, limited mobility in your neck from sports (hockey, football, baseball, etc.), very tight muscles from car accident(s), and/or just pain from poor posture, I strongly suggest contacting Core Wellness Centre for the relief you need! And, it is very reasonably priced relief.

I’m a chef (33yo) and i needed to stop and take care of myself once for good. With that kind of job you just destroy your body. Went to another chiropractor before, not professional and also more expensive. Found Core Wellness Centre on groupon and gave it a try. A blast. After a month of treatment i finally went back to full motion and i can feel the energy coming back. I have a mobility on my lower back (that was my major issue) that I haven’t experienced in years. Now i get up in the morning and i feel like a want to hug dr. Kris. Excellent.

I had suffered from a terrible pain on the side of my face, head and neck since 2009. I often ended up at the ER from the pain. I got different diagnosis and "trigeminal neuralgia" was the most recent one. I had accepted he fact that I had a chronic pain condition and that my life will be like that for good. Then I came across the Core Wellness Centre by chance (not that there is anything such as "chance" in life anyways) but I was only accompanying my husband to his first adjustment. After listening to Dr. Kris explaining about how spinal subluxations affect the nervous system, something clicked and I decided I'd give it a try too. I have been going for about 3 weeks and I am so GRATEFUL for Dr Kris and the wonderful staff working here. After only 2 sessions, the numbing pain on my face had almost disappeared and now I have way much more mobility in my neck and less muscular tension in my shoulders and back, which also allows me to sleep better and therefore, be in a better mood. They have an integral approach to well-being which I think, it is a crucial aspect that makes the CoreWellness Centre a true HEALING PLACE. I love going there and I look forward to my sessions not only for the health benefits that I get but also, for the warmth, kindness and good energy that surrounds the place and the people that work there.

Alexandra Potapenko

Thanks to Dr. Dorken, my headaches have gone away, my posture has improved, my muscle tension has been released and my body feels better overall. Thanks to Connie and Cheryl, I enjoy a friendly and peaceful atmosphere every time I visit the Core Wellness Centre :)

Matthew Mason

Best Dr. around.

Subhendu Dash

Had a very bad experience with the doctor here. I was in severe lower back pain. As part of diagnosis, the doctor took x ray but never look3d at them and went to attend other patients handing me to the physio. Then doctor calls me and ask to come again to talk about the xrays as he didnt look the last time. Then why did we do it ? Do they take pleasure in asking patients who are in pain to come again. Had a very bad experience in one of the worst pains of my life. Would not recommend it to anyone

Jeanne Zulueta

I came here for my back pain treatment as a recommendation of my mom and it turns out great. Now I feel so much better Great team as well Thanks!

Katrin K

Core Wellness Centre is amazing! I have been seeing Dr. Kris for 5 months but I noticed distinct results very early in my treatment. Mainly, my back pains had alleviated and most recently I realized I don't get sick anymore! This is a breakthrough coming from someone who used to get the flu seasonally. Core Wellness Centre accommodates every single patient and you truly feel cared for by all the staff. They take the time to show you step by step exactly what you need to do to kick start your rehabilitation :) I would strongly recommend seeing Dr. Kris at Core Wellness Centre.

Lisa Thompson

I came to Core Wellness Centre because I had a lot of back pain and lower back pain. I was finding it hard to sit at work for a long time, my back just always seemed to be in pain. It felt really uncomfortable and I couldn't ride my bike. I tried getting massages and doing exercises but the pain kept coming back. Now that I have seen Dr. Kris, after only a few weeks I feel much stronger. I can work pain free and move around much better. I'm really glad that chiropractic treatment is helping me.

Kyle Collier

Amazing, I go one a week for adjustments. Literally changed my life, all senses improved, higher energy, better sleep. Instantly fixed my back pains a few times from weight training too. I’m a lifer.

Diluke Perera

I've been coming to Core Wellness Centre for the last couple of weeks for a chronic neck and back issue that I've been dealing with. I've tried almost everything when it comes to fixing this issue but have been seeing some good results with Chris (Chiro) and Navita (RMT). I'm far from being where I was but will definitely continue coming here weekly to help treat my body. Thank you for all the help and I'll see you next week.

Mark Foullong

Great Chiropractor! Big heart. Great hands!

Alfredo Veloz Restrepo

I am so lucky to meet this team, Dr. Kris has teach how to improve my health and understand how important is a Chiropractor, Connie & Cherri, they are 2 angels that are all the time taking care of everyone, i definitely recommend Core …

Tania Stotzel

I had never been to a chiropractor or a physiotherapist before I came to Core Wellness. I have recently been trying to live a more healthy lifestyle and align body and mind. I feel like a million dollars when I leave this place!! My only regret is not coming before!!! I feel great and everyone here are very friendly and welcoming. I have my son coming now too; he’s a teenager so it’s going to be great for him and setting up healthy habits!

Kindz

I highly recommend Core wellness centre if you have any pain just like me they help me to relieve my back and neck pain I am now almost fine with the help of Dr. Kris..Thank you so much... Nerissa Calonzo

Archana Castelino

I had several physical issues and went into this clinic wary of what treatment and service I'd get. Dr Kris (chiro) and Neha (physio) patiently explained and laid out a treatment plan for me that worked with my insurance coverage. I can say my aches and pains have reduced considerably. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and it feels great just walking into the clinic. I've faced no billing or scheduling issues unlike at other clinics. Thanks to Connie and team I didn't need to contact my insurance company at all (saved from all the hassles) Also, there's always a little something cheerful while in the waiting area, from music to complimentary product to inspirational quotes on the screen. Just wanted to leave a little review to thank you guys for everything!

J. Dee

I have had terrible shoulder pains that no chiropractor, Physio therapist, massage or acupuncture doctor could figure out after a year of treatment, tests etc. Found core wellness on Groupon and decided to try it because of all the good reviews. After just 2 weeks, the pain was getting better and after a month I no longer needed meds for all I pain! This place is amazing. Now almost a year since I started coming here I am 100% pain free and just go for small adjustments here and there.

Edilson Vizotto

Dr Dorken is the best chiropractor I've ever met. With a combination of simple, but effective exercises and weekly adjustments he helped me to get rid of a scoliosis that bothered me for years. Thank you!

Elaine Williams

I started seeing Dr. Kris in my second trimester of pregnancy due to pre-existing and new back issues that developed. His treatments and take home exercises have provided me relief and prevented my back from becoming worst throughout my pregnancy. I highly recommend Dr. Kris and Core Wellness Centre. Dr. Kris and the front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. Also, the appointments always run on time which is nice.

jenny O'Meara

Dr Kris, really cares about this patients. He has taken pain from my life and helps to prevent future pain or aches through education and exercises. No question is a bad question with him and I appreciate it so much.

Lynne Brandolini

After only one appointment, I had the best sleep I've had in years. I had my first appointment last night to address years of pain and I felt instant relief after the adjustments! I'm so excited to continue with a treatment plan to live the best quality of life, rather than living with discomfort and masking it with Advil. Great environment and team also. Thank you!

Leanna L

Two years ago I started seeing Dr. Kris Dorken to improve my posture and overall health. I didn't have any major health issue - I just wanted to be healthier and find someone who could help me be my best. I felt very inspired by Dr. Dorken because he is very knowledgeable and is constantly learning to provide the best care for his patients. He uses different techniques, develops a unique treatment plan for each person and he and his staff follows up with you to make sure the plan they designed for you works well for you. He is able to answers my questions in detail. You are always greeted with a smile -the clinic is very positive and welcoming. I have experienced Dr. Dorken and his staff really care about me and the other patients. I always look forward to my appointment because I feel that I am getting the best and most updated care. Dr. Dorken really cares and wants to help you be your best. Thanks. Dr. Dorken, Connie and Cheryl l!! I feel great! Leanna

I visited this clinic after doing extensive research online to find help for the extreme pain I was feeling on my lower back. I couldn’t take it anymore and could not wait for my usual place to open (closed bc of Covid). The first visit I had I was super excited because I knew I was going to get X-rays done and an extensive exam (as per info on website) to determine the treatment I needed ($80). I was put in a room and the doctor came in, skimmed through my forms that I filled out, I mentioned FOUR times why I was there but he didn’t really follow into that and was extremely interested about other chiro’s I had visited and how they operated. Also kept he kept interupting me to ask about my job and the protocols for it ( I work loss prevention at a big department store). It wasn’t in a way of wondering if I’m on my feet all day that could lead to my back pain, it was about details about everything including if the cops come get you. What does that have to do with my back pain? He took about 6 or 7 X-rays in different positions, Then told me he wouldn’t look at them because they needed to be “studied”. I was a bit taken back because for $80 I expected at least half hour of an appointment, especially from all the info I read on their website stating its an extensive thorough exam. He told me he would adjust me ($40) and left the room without any other info. His receptionist comes in and asked me to sit in the middle of the waiting area to do exercises… I have so much anxiety and having to do that in the open in front of everyone is brutal. She was looking at a print out the whole time. Then I get called to the room for the adjustment, the doctor came in and did the most basic adjustment, did not ask me to breath in and out before doing anything which was very painful because I wasn’t in the right positions or ready. I should mention, before I went there I YouTubed and did lots of research on the Y- axis treatment. I was very excited to try it and read on his reviews that he is one of few doctors who do it. From what I experienced he did not do it properly at all. It felt very rushed, almost unsafe at how fast and careless it was. I have had extreme pain ever since and I was stupid enough to go back to get my x-ray results since he said he would “study’ them. He didn’t even remember who I was and asked me if he had already gone through the pictures with me. When I said no he looked at them for the FIRST time and only went through 2 pictures. It was very rushed and didn’t address the initial problem I went in for! My lower back pain, even after I again mentioned it multiple times. His receptionist also tried to charge me twice for my first appointment and I had to show her my receipt to prove I had already paid. She asked if she could call my insurance to ask about my coverage and when I asked her if she had gotten through to them she said no and walked away, Then I left and she called me a minute after telling me about the call… I was still going down the stairs. I told her I had just asked her upstairs and she laughed and said “I didn’t remember you hahaha”???? I am now having to get treatment for my initial problem and whatever this guy did to my neck. I hate that I used my coverage for this. I wish I would have waited. Very un professional. I really wanted this to work but I can’t continue to go somewhere with such a lack of professionalism. Also- They did not follow proper sanitation for prevention against Covid. The table you get adjusted only had the white paper changed on your face. They did not wipe down the whole thing and Doctor did not change his gloves from patient to patient. He and his staff did all wear a mask and checked my temperature but there was no social distancing at all.

Karen Gonzalez

A very friendly and welcoming staff, I will highly recommend Dr kris and his clinic.

Bushra Helal

I learnt about Core Wellness through one of the coupon sites and I've been a regular visitor for a year since! Dr. Kris Dorken is very proficient and personable, the entire team is super friendly (especially Connie) and they really value you as a client. I have recommended them to many of my family and friends and will continue to do so.

Kyle Collier

Amazing, actually LIFE CHANGING. I’ve had more energy and all my senses are heightened! I recommend this place to everyone.

Luisa Bowen

Nothing but praise for doctor Chris & his team. Thanks to him, a lot of issues I have had, have been solved & only getting better by the day. He and the team are always there to help you out in the best way possible & the office is always filled with their positive energy.

Kole McRae

Started going recently and they are great. Quality work, professional staff and I'm feeling better every day.

Варвара Магомедова

Core wellness center is a unique place. Doctor Kris and his team work hard to get people better not only by treatment, but also providing education and showing exercises. When I first there came I had a whole bunch of problems including bad neck and shoulder pain and problems with concentration. After 2 months my pain is completely gone and concentration is much better than before! They also provided my family a great assistance with our insurance company, which is not the best company at all. From any point Core Wellness is the best place to go.

Dr Dorken and all his administration team are AMAZING!!! Just went to my first appointment today and they have helped me a lot to double check with my insurance for me and everyone was so patient and nice. Can’t say enough good words about them. Looking forward to go back for next appointment already! Thank you Dr Dorken and thank you receptionists for being amazing and for your BEST service!!! -Echo

Mike Douglas

I have had massages at Core wellness this year and have been very pleased. The office and massage room is clean and the staff are very friendly. I have found my new massage clinic

Jack Copland

Extremely friendly and accommodating staff! I hear back from them right away and they are always able to accommodate schedule changes. The adjustments are on time and incredibly effective. Dr. Kris takes the time to give you the best personally-tailored care possible. He's always available to provide suggestions, exercises and chat. He even follows up after initial adjustment and assessments. Looking forward to visiting Core Wellness for many years to come!

Perlita Felicita

I’m experiencing so much pain on my knee, neck and lower back and I was really looking for a good clinic that could help me with my health issue . A friend and co-worker recommended Core Wellness, she said that she’s been a client for many years, the staff were friendly and accommodating and the Doctor is very helpful and she’s right. After my first session with the chiropractor, PT and Massage Therapist, I was able to sleep well, the pain I had is gradually disappearing , i could feel the improvement in my body. I’m sure I would be “pain free” with the help of Dr. Dorken and his amazing staff. I started recommending the clinic to my friends and colleagues.

Jessica Delange

I had been suffering from Chronic tension headaches for about 4 months, they were so bad at one point that I spent more time calling in sick for work than actually working! Being a personal trainer and fitness instructor this was obviously not ideal! In April 2018 I decided that after months of physio, acupuncture and massages (which didn't do anything!) I would try Chiropractic treatment. I had always been a little skeptical of it but at that point I was willing to try anything to get rid of the pain! I went for an x-ray/assessment with Dr Kris. He was super helpful and informative. I went back a week later for the results and he spent a good amount of time showing me my x-rays and helping me to understand what the issues were and how we could work to fix them. My own doctor told me that my pain was coming from stiff neck muscles and he didn't care to look into it. Dr Kris on the other hand was able to pin point the exact area of my neck that was causing these problems and formulated a treatment for it! It is now August 2018 and I have had ZERO headaches! Dr Kris and the staff are always courteous and professional and I can't recommend them more highly! If you are at your wits end with neck/back pain I urge you to go to Core Wellness Centre. I would still be suffering now if it wasn't for Dr Kris! Thank you!

Beverly

Great staff, very friendly and positive results! I'm glad I found this place for my little one.

Michael Pickering

I will admit up front that I had my reservations about going to a chiropractor in general because, as a scientist myself, I had been led to believe by some of my doctors that their methods are pseudo-scientific and don't work. My current family doctor wouldn't even write a prescription to see a chiropractor so that I could get it covered by my health care plan. So I approached the situation with quite a bit of skepticism, but found quickly that these biases were completely unwarranted. I've been living with constant sciatic pain for a few years now and had tried lots of other things (e.g. physio, massage, swimming) before going to CWC, that only relived the pain temporarily. In a few weeks, Dr. Kris was able to clear up much of the pain in my lower back and I felt invigorated and healthier in general. After a couple of months of weekly adjustments, and the ten minutes of daily stretches and core strengthening exercises they teach, I feel better than I have in years. Dr. Kris has been very informative along the way, so that I feel like I really understand what the root causes of my pain are and have been able to develop habits to foster the healing process and to ensure that it does not happen again in the future. He enables patients to fully engage with the process. Dr. Kris was so good that I brought my wife, who has been suffering from chronic neck pain for years, in to see him. The results were very dramatic and she has been free of neck pain after only a few weeks. All of the people at CWC are very friendly, accommodating, and genuinely concerned about the well-being of their patients. It has been the most positive experience that I have ever had with health care in my life, and this has made a big difference in the way that I think about health in general - much more holistically. It has even improved mine and my wife's relationship as we're no longer dealing with chronic pain (cranky all the time) and are fully engaged in the healing process together. My attitude has shifted from thinking that I would just have to get used to and live with the pain throughout my life, to actually being optimistic for a change and not just realizing that the problem can be treated effectively, but that I can actually set my goals on optimizing my health overall. I'm very thankful for having found CWC online, and would highly recommend their services. Thank you, Michael Pickering

Henrique Baeta

I have been with pain in my back for several years. So, last month my wife decided to contact Core Wellness Centre in order to book the appointment for me because she couldn't see me with pain on the day of our wedding. Even though the demand from patients is high they booked me the day after my wife contacted them considering my wedding. The staff and equipment are amazing. Also, the treatment which is the most important thing for me has been showing a lot of good responses in terms of relief on my back. I'm always looking forward to the next appointment.

Azal Amer-Moussa

This place is great. I've been coming for the past few months for chiropractic adjustments, and also had a couple of massages by Navita, who's an RMT. She really does the deep tissue kind of massage that my back needs. I definitely recommend her.

PG Tondo

I am a professional boxer and I came to this place because of strained shoulders. They have helped me recover and provided me with helpful information to avoid injuries.

Norm C

Dr. Kris is an excellent Chiropractor. My first visit was very thorough; including x-rays. His explanations are very simple and his exercise plan was not overwhelming. I have visited Dr. Kris for a month now and I feel a lot more flexible and taller. I had horrible back, shoulder and neck pains.; caused me to turtle forward in pain often. His careful adjustments has brought me back on to a path to better well being. His staff is extremely friendly and very accommodating too! Thank you Dr. Kris and to your staff! Note: Dr. Kris is the only Chiropractor in Toronto I found that utilizes the "Y" strap for decompression. Amazing!

Ritchel Baldado

I have been having back problem for a while now. Looking for a chiropractor is also a struggle as some came a bit pricey. I came across with Core Wellness and my first appointment was amazing. Dr. Chris and all the staff are friendly and very welcoming. The location is perfect! There is a close bus stop and subway station. There are coffee and food shops as well, if you are looking to grab a bite after your session. :) All the best to Core Wellness Centre!

Jem Jackson

I started seeing Dr.Kris a few months ago due to hip and pelvic issues caused by pregnancy. I was experiencing excruciating pain that I was told would just get worse as the baby grew. Now I am almost 100% pain free and my hips have stopped popping. I have been sharing my experience with everyone who will listen. I will be continuing my appointments this entire pregnancy!

Monserrat Videla

I'm so happy to have found Dr.Kris, besides treating you, he also teaches you about your back and how to take care for it. My back feels so much better! The staff members are so sweet that it is a pleasure to see them too

Fabiola Ferrusquia

I first came accross the clinic in the summer\14 via a "groupon"...right there it felt like family. I took a bit of time to actually start my regular visits and when I came back in September with a huge back and neck stiffness...well, it took to sessions for it to start getting better. Even my depression and low time was gone...or at least got better. Part of it the treatment, but I think most of it the genuine caring attitude of Dr Kris and his assistants... who are adorable too... Thank you so much for al you have done :) REALLY THANK You!!!

Gary Sarkissian

I initially started visiting Core Wellness for neck pain which has improved dramaticly, I have also seen improvements in decreased overall back pain, foot pain, and even increased flexibilty/ range of motion. The office environment is friendly and relaxed and they have a great play area if you need to bring your little ones with you. I would highly recomend the centre.

Lauren Gabrielle

Very efficient, professional service! Welcoming atmosphere! 10/10

Cameron Stewart (Cammyjay)

All of my life, I suffered from headaches on an almost daily occurrence, and migraines on a weekly. I couldn't sleep on my left side or I would have a pain shooting through my neck and into my head. The pain was so substantial that I could not go to work some days. I could barely stand. The first thing I noticed was that Dr. Dorken, and his staff were very friendly, and knowledgeable. The first session was spent teaching, and I left with more info that I came in with. While my headaches and Migraines haven't disappeared completely, they have been drastically reduced. I am sure, in time, I will not have to rely on medication at all. The last migraine I had was close to two weeks ago. Thank you Core Wellness Centre!

The best in the game!! Came here to get my back fixed. Dr Kris has fully diagnosed my issues and is giving me a method and plan to get back in action! I can't recommend Core Wellness enough!

David L

I would just like to give my sincere thanks to Dr. Kris Dorken and the Core Wellness team and offer my feedback of my experiences thus far. I had been dealing with a multitude of health problems since high school and then into my work life (warehouse then office jobs) for over a span of ~15 years. My family doctor was only able to prescribe medication which would only work for a while. I hadn't thought of chiropractic until about 2 years ago (youtube videos sparked my interest), but didn't know it could help me so much. I found Core Wellness by searching for the y-strap adjustment in Toronto, and decided to check it out as I was fed up with my health issues not improving. The consultation was thorough and included taking x-rays. Dr. Dorken and the staff made me feel welcome and comfortable so I was able to fully express all my health concerns. Costs are also very reasonable. For the first few times I visited, the staff walked me through warm up exercises before any adjustments were done, and also exercises to do at home. I'm 3 treatments in and have already noticed very significant changes to my health. My digestive issues have been greatly reduced along with a reduction in brain fog. My posture has improved. My energy levels are currently much improved as well. I can actually experience what it is like to feel normal after all the years suffering those health issues. I look forward to the rest of my treatments at Core Wellness. I'm lucky to have found this place!

Tamoor Khan

Thank you to Dr. Chris Dorken and staff. Dr. Dorken is a master of his craft. I was riddled with back and neck pain for years from my job which requires constantly sitting at a laptop and driving all day. It got to a point it felt like my neck was detached from my shoulders. With a quick and thorough examination and letting me know that was indeed what was going on figuratively in simpler terms, Dr. Dorken then did his thing and put everything back together as it should be. It felt like my nervous system was whole again and was rebooting. After my initial assessment I came in for weekly appointments to continue tackling the issue. Dr. Dorken takes a holistic and natural approach to heal your body. If you are experiencing neck and back issues that cause you headaches and migraines and you are told you need surgery, PLEASE PLEASE go see Dr. Dorken first before making that decision. Words can’t explain the pain that was lifted from my shoulders, literally. My only regret is I didn’t find him and his team sooner. God Bless you Dr. Dorken. Again, Thank You a million times.

Staff are very friendly and helpful they answered all my questions. i have been to other chiropractors and Dr.Kris's technique has undoubtedly been the most effective. i highly recommend this clinic to people who committed to there health.

Kris is truly a great chiropractor. I've seen 10+ chiropractors over the years for chronic back and neck pain a while many have provided relief, Kris is the first person who I feel is getting me moving again. I've seen the ringdinger guy and watched all the Y strap decompression on YouTube, Kris has the technique down pat and every time I go (twice a week) the adjustments just get deeper and better. Cannot say enough good things about corewellness center!

Barbara Shinton

Having lived with back pain for many years i was amazed how within a short time of coming to see Dr. Kris the pain was relieved with exerises and adjustments. Neck pain was soon relieved and balance problem soon disappeared. Also i had some weight loss that was great .Over all my quality of life is better and i look forword to my adjustments because I know each one helps in improving the quality of my life. thank u so much.

Katalin Tóth

After 1.5 months I can feel the improvement and don't need pain relief medications. Dr. Kris is a great chiropractor who listens to patients and really cares about healing your ailment. He is professional, gentle, quick and funny. His staff surely compliments him they are friendly and professional.

Dr. Kris Dorken and all the staff at Core Wellness Centre have been amazing. In late 2011, I bought a groupon voucher that entitled me to a chiropractic examination/adjustment as well as a 30 minute massage. I bought it primarily for the massage (I didn't think I really needed a chiropractic examination/adjustment). The massage was great and the chiropractic examination/adjustment went well. Dr. Kris explained Vertebral Subluxation and it's effects on the body. After showing me x-rays of my spine, it turns out that had vertebral subluxation even though I've never had any back or neck pain. After seeing Dr. Kris for about a year (2/3 times a week), my vertebral subluxation was virtually gone, the x-rays a year later show a much healthier spine and I've noticed my posture has improved greatly as well. It's been almost 3 years since I purchased that groupon voucher and I am still seeing Dr. Kris regularly for chiropractic adjustments. My wife and daughter have also started seeing Dr. Kris for chiropractic adjustments. I would highly recommend Core Wellness Centre for anyone with any sort of back/neck/posture issues or even just for someone that wants optimal health in all aspects of life, Dr. Kris can help.

So far, I enjoy to going there every week for quick fix. Very reasonable pricing, amazing RMT, well equipped one stop chiropractic clinic.

Excellent service with great customer service.

Core Wellness is a friendly and welcoming space. Dr. Dorken and his staff have been very helpful in aiding my path back to good health. I was very fortunate to find Core Wellness at a difficult time when I was in need of help.

Rich Ali

Initially I was skeptical. I had been in a very serious car accident which resulted in quite intense lower back pain, especially when sitting. At first I did not think that the treatments were providing any relief whatsoever. But slowly, as I continued the treatments and followed the recommeneded exercise program, I began feeling less discomfort when sitting and standing for longer and longer periods of time. One day, several months later, I had come to the realiziation that I was not feeling any more discomfort. I would highly recommend Core Wellness Centre to anyone experiencing similiar discomfort. Dr. Kris along with Cheryl and Connie have helped me get back to enjoying life again through their efforts. For this I am eternally grateful. Thank you Core Wellness Centre!!!

Dr. Dorken has helped get back on track on my guitar playing!!! I had pain in my arms and neck for over 2 years so I went to see a neurologist, he said that everything was fine??? I also went to various clinics for deep tissue massages and the effects lasted only a couple of days and they came back. When I found the clinic and started the adjustments, I noticed that the changes had a longer effect, and progressively I started playing guitar for longer hours. Now I have a better posture, the headaches are almost gone and better sleep. I highly recommend this treatment to anybody that is looking for ways to have a healthy lifestyle.

Amazing services and staff

Kassandra Aires

I originally made my appointment through groupon. I've always been sceptical of chiropractic work BUT Dr. Kris Dorken has changed that and is fantastic. He explained everything in a way anyone would be able to understand and is very respectful when actually doing the adjustment (BIG plus for me). I had a back injury and since visiting the core wellness centre I've seen improvements on my capabilities and movements. Also, the space is very clean and it is very easy to book and cancel appointments.

Raouf Seyam

Dr. Kris and his team are some of the best healthcare practitioners I have ever interacted with in my life.

Tracy Xu

Dr Kris is very knowledgeable and helpful! I have been to two different chriopractors in New York but no one really helps me like Dr Kris does. I have 5+years chronic neck and lower back pain and all the doctors that provided me in the States was heat pad and countless trigger point injection, which cause me even more muscle problems in a long run. Dr Kris purely only use physical adjustments on me. No painkiller, no heat pad, no injection, no BS. Now I feel way better and no more weekly massage because all my muscle knots around my neck and shoulder are gone just after couple months of treatment. The strength of my neck has been tremendously restored thanks to Dr Kris. I highly recommend anyone to give Core Wellness Center a try!

Mel Morlidge

I was gifted a massage and chiropractic assessment at the Core Wellness Centre, and have since been a regular patient. I had issues with my posture and lingering sports injuries that I've been working on with Dr. Kris and the phenomenal physio team. Technically, I've learned more about what's going wrong with my body in the last 2 months than I have in years of performance sports. My energy levels are up and my posture is improving. The team consists of a wonderful group of people, who make going in for treatments not so bad.

Yza bel

Before I had a metacarpal pain every morning and monthly menstrual cramps, since I have my chiro care at Core Wellness Centre things change. I feel light and better. The right place to visit. :) Highly recommended.

Brian Dunseith

Polite and friendly staff

Laura Cheng

I have been going to see Dr. Kris for the last four months with my 3 1/2 year old and 9 month old daughters. My 3 year old had regularly complained of neck pain and always finds relief after visiting Dr. Kris. I have a history of whip lash with residual back and neck pain. Dr. Kris has really helped reduce that pain despite dealing with the daily strain of carrying and nursing a young baby. The team at Core Wellness is amazing.

Adam Lancia

So happy that I came across Dr Kris Dorken as he fully fixed my lower back issues. I had developed over the years very bad chronic back pain and mobility issues that even the smallest task would be so hard to do. I tried other chiropractors over the years and while I would get temporary relief, there was never a permanent positive result. What I really enjoyed from Dr Dorken was right at the start he took X-Rays to fully assess and pinpoint what was going on with my spine. Once he found and showed me the problems he got to work with his adjustments. Also on top of adjusting my spine and neck to their proper positions, I was given multiple stretching and strengthening exercises to do. Within 9 months of at least going 2 to 3 times a month for adjustments and then doing the exercises shown to me 3 to 4 times a week at home, I'm so happy to say that I have no more back pain. Dr Dorken's attentiveness and level of care, along with committing to getting adjusted regularly and doing his strengthening exercises fully fixed me and I am so grateful for that. Highly recommend Core Wellness Centre. 5/5

Rebecca Lee

Dr. Chris really knows what he’s doing. I’m in and out in 5 minutes on Monday evenings. The staff is really friendly and they accommodate to your scheduling and financial needs. Definitely would recommend! They also have a Groupon deal right now.

J C

Dr. Kris is the best chiropractor, who listens to patients and cares about healing your ailment, I’ve been consistently coming here for the past 3 months and have nothing but good things to say about this center, I would just like to give my sincere thanks to Dr. Kris and the Core Wellness team Sincerely Juan Carlos Campos

Paul Tichonczuk

I was suffering terribly from a herniated disc and my regular physio therapist was just not cutting it. A co-worker suggested I try spinal decompression therapy. Using google maps, I looked for a place close to me that had good reviews. I ended up here. The improvement was almost instant compared to the previous clinic I was attending. Several months later and I'm getting around, sleeping well and completely off of pain medication. My only criticism is that the rooms are really small and cramped.

billy nuqui

Great!

allison high

No headaches anymore!

J. T. Sousa

I found Core Wellness after doing a web search to find a nearby chiropractor. When I arrived for my first appointment I could barely move my right arm and I was in debilitating upper back pain. Within two sessions the pain vanished and I had almost full mobility of my right arm again. After two months of care I've also realized that the recurrent hip and leg pain I've had for years has also vanished! Through the care at Core I also feel that I am continuing to learn more about my body and how it works. Thanks Dr. Dorken!

marlon dionisio

As a person who lives an active lifestyle, eat the right foods but at the same time i felt off physically and mentally with irregular heartbeat, gastrointestinal reflux and back pain. WHY???, I follow all the necessary steps and yet i still feel I'm not myself. Until i met Dr. Kris Dorken and the friendly staff at Core Wellness Centre. After my first adjustment I noticed and felt calmness & stillness for the very first time since i was in my early 20's. I'm now in my late 40's and I feel amazing! My back, spine and nerve system is a work in progress, I looking forward and can't wait for my next adjustment. Thank you Dr. Kris Dorken.

mofohare

I have been referred to Core Wellness by a good friend. After long years of lower back pain and discomfort i gave them a try. I never looked back since. Dr. Dorken is a wonderful doctor who puts His patients needs first. His support stuff at the office is second to none. A wonderful environment to start on the journey of healing. Do give them a try, You will not regret it!

Anthony Carreira

I hadn’t been to a chiropractor in over 4 years, but I had been experiencing recurring neck and back tightness. I visited Core Wellness for an assessment and have since had chiropractic, massage and physiotherapy treatments. Just in the month I’ve been going, I feel noticeably better and have much improved mobility. The staff is very friendly and I would encourage anyone to give them a try and see for yourself.

Jennifer Kim

I cannot shut up about how great the qualify of my life has become ever since I stepped into the core wellness centre. I suffered from severe, nasty, immobilizing migraines almost daily but with each chiro visit, I have experienced less and less migraines (actually, this sound dramatic but they decreased 97% within the first 3 visits). The x-ray result I saw in the office showed that I have no natural curve in my neck (my neck was a wreck), which explained the intense tightness in the neck and shoulder area, the neck pressure and pain and the migraines. Going to chiro was the greatest thing I did last year - I am rarely in pain from my immobilizing migraines and I learned many stretches and exercises to take care of myself (on top of the chiro treatment). If you suffer from constant migraines and feel pain in the neck area, the Core Wellness Centre is really worth the visit. Dr.Kris is really chill and he really saved me from painful migraines. Also, I really appreciate the receptionist team - every visit I go in and leave with a smile thanks to how understanding, professional and friendly every one is! I am living proof that chiro works and chiro helps solve issues that are caused by poor posture/unhealthy spinal structures. All credits to Dr.Kris/chiro.

Kate Riley

So glad I found Dr. Kris after having my first child. I could hardly move or sleep with back pain, and after the first session I felt improvement. Now am pain-free. I had been nervous about chiropractic adjustments, but Dr. Kris is great and you will feel better after every visit.

Ilja Plats

Before I took my four weeks old son to see Dr. Kris Dorken for a newborn adjustment, I did research, whom I could trust my precious son! Dr. Dorken's gentle, simple and painless adjustment did miracle to my baby; symptoms of acid reflex …

Ahbab Abdullah

I’ve been consistently coming here for the past 2 months and have nothing but good things to say about this centre. They’ve helped me tremendously and my results speak for themselves. Thanks Dr. Kris ✊????????

Sarah A

Dr. Kris at the Core Wellness Centre has been amazing and life changing. I have been suffering with a back injury for over 5 years and nothing seemed to help. He was the first doctor to sit down and inform me about my injury, do xrays and developed a plan to progress and improve my back injury. I have been with him for a short period of time and have been HUGEEEEEEE improvements. In a short 6 months, my back is starting to curve, my posture and my health have improved drastically. I couldn't be any more thankful and would recommend Dr. Kris Dorken to every and anyone who seeks chiropractic care. Thank you Dr. Kris and all your staff at Core Wellness Centre for being the stepping stone to my recovery :)

Michael Delong

I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Kris and the staff at Core Wellness Centre. He and his staff are professional and accommodating, making each visit a pleasant one. Dr. Kris' treatment was very effective...after years of dealing with chronic back/neck pain and posture issues, I finally found relief after a year of adjustments and other treatments. Highly recommend!

문슬기

Really good! Everyone is kind so i feel comfortable. And location is good too I’m satisfied if you have back and neck pain i recommend this office.

Jason Bickerton

Fantastic chiropractor!

Sean Winston

Great staff, service, location & hours

Nicole C

Dr. Kris has been amazing with my 3 month old daughter. I went to see him for troubles with colic, dietary sensitivities and latching issues which have all improved after only a few treatments. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming, and booking appointments is quick and easy!

Sarah D

We were looking for a chiropractor that could see our baby that was having issues with colic and reflux. Dr. Kris is one of very few chiropractor’s in the city that is trained specifically to see babies and he was able to see him right away. The team is very friendly and efficient with checking in and out to ensure a smooth visit. We were able get relief with our babies colic after only a couple visits which is a huge relief after we had tried everything! I would recommend him if you are having the same issues with your baby.

Mahsa Mir

Professional, caring, and very knowledgeable. My entire family have been seeing Dr. Kris since 2017. He's treated everything from neck issues to back pain, and foot problems. There is no one I trust more with my family's health!

Andri Leutskaan

really happy with my experiences here over time. have to admit the office is laid back and all the staff are great at providing a comfortable and relaxing experience. i will definitely try to stay up to date and come more often.

Phil Snider

I started seeing Dr. Kris in order to keep my lower back tuned up, which he has done a great job on. At the same time, one of my goals has been to lose weight. We were discussing this and he supplied me with a diet plan, which I didn't follow precisely, but it inspired me to create my own system. At 40 lbs down and counting, it seems to be working. I would recommend Dr. Kris and the Core Wellness team to anyone seeking chiropractic care.

Nancy Jeronimo

I am so thankful for Dr. Kris! He has been able to help with my neck & back pain. He is always accommodating. I am so grateful for his help & support! His staff is also friendly & accommodating. Highly recommend Core Wellness.

Tayri Castro

Professional and very good therapists and nice enviroment, you feel like family group when you there

Shahriar Imran

Very courteous, kind, and considerate staff. Thank you, Dr. Kris, Connie, and Neha for all your help.

L Kanigsberg

I always feel welcome and comfortable at Core Wellness Centre. The massage that I received was amazing - the therapist adjusted her pressure according to my feedback and was very attentive. I felt like I was in good hands:) The front staff are always friendly and professional! Thank you!!!

Mariko Takemi

I have been seeing Dr. Kris about 5 years. Dr.Kris is the best chiropractor I have ever been to and he is not only a great chiropractor, knowledgeable, caring and kind. He is also a wonderful human being. His front desk staff Conie, Bomi and Marlene are absolutes best they always make me feel home and try to meet my request with bookings. I also love his RMTs, Navita and Lisa knows how to relax people in and out. I am very glad that I found Dr. Kris and his team. Highly recommended!

Shannon Kim

I was a little skeptical about chiro at first but Dr Kris changed my entire perspective. After having lower back pain for almost a month he was able to relieve the pain after a few sessions. I always feel amazing after seeing him and would highly recommend him to anybody!

Emmanuel Atienza

Dr. Chris is very professional. His treatment helps me sleep at night. I have difficulty sleeping comfortably at night I think its due to sitting all day cause of my work. The adjustments help alot !! Thank you Dr. D!!!

Dragan Panic

Only after I filled in the 3 page form they let me know "O, just to let you know there is a $80 first time consultation charge." This charge doesn't include treatment. I wish they posted this on their website, or let me know in advance before filling the form. I found this unfair and left the office.

Charisse Alcaraz

Dr. Kris and the staff are very professional and friendly. I had my spine x-rayed and Dr. Kris showed me the difference between mine and a normal one. Because of that, I learned the reason for my bad posture. They also educated me on the exercises for the spine. I had been going to this clinic for adjustments on my spine, and each time feels so relaxing after, because the tightness on my back disappears. I believe this has helped lessen my lower back pain. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who wants to boost his or her overall health.

ruby del mundo

I have been a client in this establishment for over 4 years now and they never dissappoint. From the front desk ladies to the proffessional health practitioners, I always get good care and advice. Thank you, Dr. Kris.

Alyssa Buada

The new location is super clean and spacious. Right as I entered I was welcomed by the kind front desk staff. Jessica, the RMT, was fabulous. She applied enough pressure to the sore areas in my body and made sure I was okay throughout my massage. What made my experience even better was that she's a great conversationalist, she really made me feel comfortable. I can't wait for my next appointment!

Ovidiu Rus

I came for few weeks visit home (Toronto) from my work place in Japan. I arrived with a back pain on the left side most likely caused by the long hours spent in front in my computer ...and age. Doctor Kris accommodated his clinic schedule to provide an intense chiropractic treatment. After 2 weeks and 6 sessions, my back pain disappeared and I have now only a small discomfort when I walk. I am amazed by the results into a such short period of time taking in account that the treatment oversea provided only a small improvement after 2 months. I strongly recommend Dr. Kris practice.

Dr Dorken and his staff are so friendly and helpful! Very flexible when my partner and I have to change our appointment for work, and we definitely notice a positive change since coming to them.

Daniel Negrello

Very satisfied with the service, staff is very helpful and friendly, Doctor is awesome and really patient with whi know nothing about chiropractic. Callback after treatment every time i visit and suport all my needs. Thanks alot for core wellness and i highly recomend this place for everyone who need to get better on back, neck pain.

Jennifer

TL;DR review: Dr. Dorken knows what he's doing and will help relieve your pain/treat your spine + the team is a delight :) Detailed: - Severe pain in neck and shoulders + numbness in arms and legs subsided after first 2 visits - Dr. Dorken tailors treatment based on the condition of your spine - He is non-dismissive (he answers Qs + helps you to understand the situation) - The team is so friendly, sensible, and accommodating - I feel safe because people's temps is taken and everyone wears a mask * - The new facility is spacious, clean, and well kept - Lots of free parking nearby - Quick fix, but not rushed! (no time is wasted)

Louis Floras

The best chiropractor in the city. Dr Kris is not only an excellent chiropractor but a fantastic human being and his staff is equally as wonderful. I have gotten tremendous results and look forward to more sessions.

Aleksandra Drozd

My experience at core wellness has been great for both me and my daughter... Dr. Dorken has been an incredible asset on my journey to health and wellness, and his adjustments for my 1 year old daughter have been very helpful for her growing and developing little body.

Corrie Boersma

Dr.Dorken has relieved me of my lower back pain and is also working to improve my overall spinal health. Kris has demonstrated sensitivity, vast knowledge and experience during my time at the clinic. The admin staff are always efficient and welcoming. I'm confident I am in great care. Thank you to the entire Core Wellness Centre team!

jose mujar

Best place to get help for pains. Dr Kris Is a Great doctor, their massage therapist are excellent. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. I Highly recommend Core Wellness Centre.

Baharul Hoque

You may find a good doctor but a good doctor having the quality of a good human being is few and far between. Dr Kris Dorken, a chiropractor (a practitioner of the system of integrative medicine) is such a doctor who possesses all the qualities of a very good human being. He is knowledgeable and very much efficient. His loving manner and caring attitude make his patients always hopeful and very happy. Now Core Wellness Centre is a very big name among the integrated health care centers of the city and this is due to Dr.Kris Dorken. However, the receptionists of the Centre are also professional, friendly, and accommodating.

Cat Lee

I originally sought out Mr. Dorkin because he is one of very few chiropractors I found who can help with TMJ release. And have stayed, plus referred my boyfriend to this clinic, because the adjustments/treatments are really helping me in the long term with my posture, TMJ release and neck tension release. I feel a difference when doing this over time, with noticeable shifts and sensations felt in my body. All staff here are nice, friendly, accommodating, and pricing is very reasonable. Overall it's been a hugely beneficial program for me and is the perfect complimentary to my fitness regime. Mr. Dorkin listens to your particular needs and makes custom adjustments based on them.

salina eldon

I was very skeptical about Chiropractic care prior to seeing Dr. Kris. I have now completely changed my view. My chronic lower back and hip pain is significantly reduced. I highly recommend Dr. Kris!

Irina Mirazizyan

Dr. Dorken is great! Our 2 month old baby was having a hard time coordinating pooping and after a few sessions with Dr. Dorken, he is doing so much better! He only does gentle massage and no adjustments, so don't hesitate bringing your little one to him! Thanks again, Dr. Dorken!

R.S.G Interiors Group

January 21/2021 This is by far to be a very genuine and super honest experience/review. 7 months from today I was diagnosed with a lumbar SEVERE herniated disc L5/S1 severe compression to L5 nerve root. With not being able to walk or move, I researched clinics all over Toronto and ended up at Core wellness. From the moment I walked in it felt so right.. Dr.Kris and the team were very warm and compassionate. With my initial xrays (he does on site) to my first adjustment. Dr. kris to my surprise called me the same night to see how I was feeling, which doctor does that nowadays.. none.! From the Physiotherapist to the massage therapist going through his routine has brought me right back to 90% healed. I am quite sure with the results I have now I will be fully healed after a year rehabilitation. A far way from thinking my only option was surgery. I urge people who are in excruciating pain to visit Dr Kris and his beautiful team of professionals follow the routines set forth, give it time and patience.. I personally will be always be getting my tune up from core wellness forever... God bless your souls,

jeniffernobre

Got an appointment the same day I called , everyone there is so professional and friendly. I went there with neck and shoulder pain left there feeling like a million dollars. I would definitely recommend!

Paige

Such an amazing staff, super nice and accommodating. Delivering great results and treating each condition with the most care

Jody Lastman

I came in with high blood pressure that I had been suffering from for years, after a period of time, my blood pressure stabilized, and I went off my medications. I really enjoy the staff, and seeing all the patients. I really enjoy seeing all the patients talking with each other and sharing their experiences. I highly recommend this office to people who want to get better.

Olivia Oulton

I've had a wonderful experience at Core Wellness Centre. They are extremely professional, polite and caring. They have accommodated my extremely busy work schedule and made sure I was able to come in for my appointments. I've had a lot of neck pain and stiffness probably stemming from poor posture and snowboarding wipe outs. I was also getting frequent headaches and migraines. I have been feeling much better and haven't had a headache or migraine in months! I look forward to my weekly visit because I know it's helping improve my health. I really like how the goal isn't just to fix one problem but they care about improving your overall health. This is an excellent place to check out!

Frank Willams

After my car accident I had so much trouble resuming my daily life and when working I was in consistent back pain. Dr. Kris changed all of that! I am able to work with no pain, I can pickup my kids again. The treatment has been absolutely amazing! I would recommend Dr. Kris to anyone!

Frank Veri

I can not express my gratitude enough for Core Wellness Center. My doctor could only prescribe pain medication for my lower back pain, which helped a bit but the issue persisted. Then I found Core Wellness Center and within a week I began to see results, and now I am pain free! The care I received at Core Wellness was the best I could have expected. I highly suggest you call them first.

Jun Castaneto

Very modern office with friendly staff.Diagnosis and scheduling were done really fast and accurate.Dr Kris and his staff provided me with multiple exercise trainings that help me in the improvent of my health. When it comes to billing, Dr Kris was FAIR enough and doesn’t OVERCHARGE. He even offer great deals depends on your financial status. I am extremely GRATEFUL to Dr KRIS AND HIS staff for thei high level of knowledge and very EXCELLENT service.

Aamir Gujjar

It's RIPP off with fake review . Don't waste your time and money

Leticia Greve

I had a lower back injury that only got worse with my pregnancy. Thanks to Dr. Kris I am no longer in debilitating pain. I am almost fully recovered and the end of my pregnancy is not being too bad thanks to him.

Charles Albert Elsenique

Thank you very much! Before I had a very bad back pain before I went there that I cant barely move or stand but now im in great condition, no more back pain and i feel im in good posture. And our whole family are having our chiropractic treatment here at Core Wellness. KUDOS to Everyone! All are friendly and caring the staffs and especially Dr.Kris Dorken. I am very thankful you are in this area to care for us. Charles Elsenique

Alida Thomas

I really cannot recommend this place enough, they essentially gave me my life back in terms of being able to get back to the normal activities I love so much after a bit of a crazy accident I had two years ago. For two years since I had had almost daily headaches, nausea, upper back pain and essentially the feeling that there was a golfball stuck in my upper neck. It effected my work, relationship, confidence and energy levels hugely. By coming in to get regular treatments for about 4 months straight I cannot believe the change! I am able to get back to rock climbing, running, hiking and expeditions which I haven't been able to do in two years without having to take a bunch of painkillers. So much is possible in my life again and so much has changed. I really cannot thank or recommend Dr. Kris and his amazing crew enough:)! Go, you won't regret it!

Alexei Gokhman

I was not able to walk and sit due to acute sciatica when Dr. Kris Dorken and the physiotherapist Neha Katyal started treating me. My previous chiropractors (very good ones) were not able to help much. After about 4-5 weeks at the Core Wellness Centre I returned to normal life. Now I see Kris and Neha once in two weeks and do special exercises recommended by them every day, and it is enough to be able to carry full load at work and at home.

E E

I have been going to Core Wellness for over 4 years for chiropractic care and some physiotherapy. At first I needed very frequent treatment for chronic headaches, neck, shoulder and back pain. I was a mess. But after seeing Dr. Chris for a while, I began to feel much better and am now keeping up a maintenance regime of adjustments twice monthly. If my neck or back feels out of whack and I start having headaches, I call for a last minute adjustment and am always kindly squeezed in by the generous Dr. Chris and his office staff. Many thanks to you all.

Victoria Coronell

Great care and understanding is given to treatment and approach. Everyone needs to live life with having a healthy back!! Get yours accessed and reap the benefits.

Ritchel Baldado

I have been having back problem for a while now. Looking for a chiropractor is also a struggle as some came a bit pricey. I came across with Core Wellness and my first appointment was amazing. Dr. Chris and all the staff are friendly and very welcoming. The location is perfect! There is a close bus stop and subway station. There are coffee and food shops as well, if you are looking to grab a bite after your session. :) All the best to Core Wellness Centre!

Anitta Carr

Dr. Kris has helped me so much with the neck pain I was having. I can now turn my head way back to the left where I had such restricted movement before. Thanks Dr. Kris!

Kyron Rider

Now, usually when anybody rates a service, they would say "i liked the service i've received, or I appreciated the treatment that was given to me.", but for myself, it did not feel like a chiropractic clinic. It felt like going back to a family doctor's clinic for 5 years straight (even though i've been getting treated here for 2 months). Kris Dorken, not only did he educate all potential clients before his assessments personally, he continues to do so outside the clinic by giving fitness sheets with both chart and an exercise regimen to follow through. Now to mention the staff: I've personally met one of the two massage therapists, but my 60 minute massage made me feel 5 years younger. She told me which parts were lax or tight, and what stretches i can do to prevent stiffness. Both receptionists are caring and actually remember each individuals name that walks through their doors. Not only are they willing to give you assistance you need, they can also compromise a proper payment plan FOR ANYONE! Sounds too good to be true? Ask anyone, including myself, who regularly attends the Core Wellness Centre.

Aaron Chan

Dr. Kris and his team offer an incredible and professional experience. Thanks to Dr. Kris, I’ve successfully worked though pain and injuries. My overall health would not be the same without the help of Core Wellness.

Christina Kang

I went here for back pain, and after a couple of months the pain was gone completely. I saw great progress through x-rays to back up my lack of pain. The staff are great, and Dr. Kris Dorken very clearly cares greatly for all of his patients. Even after I left the country, Dr. Kris followed up to make sure that I was still doing well. Would definitely recommend.

Eyeru Selmon

This clinic is amazing. From the friendly front desk staff to Dr Kris. My husband had severe back pain which was preventing his mobility and when we started seeing Dr Kris, he was able to find relief and see total reversal of his symptoms. The clinic is clean and well organized. The doctor is extremely detail oriented and dedicated to his patients wellbeing. The clinic is busy and at times there is a little waiting time in between appointments. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who is in pain and needs a good doctor.

Ahmed Alqardani

I just had my first appointment went very good the doctor explained to me the problems I'm having did around three x-rays did some few adjustments people in the comments looking for relief form the first appointment witch is not gonna happen with any clinic because chiropractors needs to look at the x-rays and study them and start working on the problems but very nice doctor very nice team Also I can not really determine if it's really worth it because this is my first appointment I need to follow up in order to tell because it's not going to show anything from first appointment as I said .

Belle L

In just a short amount of time Dr. Kris and Core Wellness Center have been able to take an extreme misaligned TMJ and nurse it back to normal, something I didn't even think was possible. I have seen a few different Chiropractors over the past few years but Dr. Kris has by far given me my best results. The staff are extremely kind and accommodating, I highly recommend!

I found Core Wellness through Google when I was at my wits end, desperate for help with my lower back and neck pain. I went from walking 5-10k a day to not being able to walk at all because of the pain I was in. I could barely make it around the corner of my house to walk my dog, the pain was so severe. Simply lifting up some dishes left me gasping for air. The cramping in my legs and arms got to the point where I couldnt sleep without heating pads all over my body. One day cramping was so extreme on my left arm and chest that it led to a visit to the ER. Due to another medical issue I am unable to take traditional painkillers so I was in agony to say the least. After the ER scare I decided to do what I could and check off all my boxes to find out what was wrong. Thats when I found Core Wellness. I met Dr. Kris and in his initial assessment was able to tell me what was wrong and gave me hope for the first time in months thats things could get better. I’ve been going to see him twice a week plus Dr Puja for decompression treatments for 3 weeks now and today for the first time in months I was able to walk my dog again and walk to my appointment! I cannot express the gratitude and joy enough. Thank-you so much to all the staff for being so kind. I wish them endless blessings.

I’m a 6 years breast cancer survival. I am suffering from a long list of side effects of anticancer treatment, and muscle spasms, back and neck pain are among them. During my first visit to Core Wellness Centre I could not even lie on my front without discomfort and pain. After 2 months of regular chiropractic care of Dr. Kris Dorken and physio sessions performed by Dr. Neha Katyal, I feel way better; my posture is improving, heel, neck and back pain are receding. It takes time, but now I believe that my health can be restored by non-medicine comparatively affordable treatment and without very invasive procedures. Also, I am very thankful to receptionists of the centre. They are very helpful and friendly.

I have been seeing Dr. Kris Dorken for the past few months after dealing with acute on chronic neck pain. I was a little hesitant at first, but the neck pain was unbearable. I couldn’t believe the difference his treatment provided. Within days, my neck pain was almost completely gone. Better yet his office is great at scheduling last minute emergency appointments and they do direct insurance billing. I am truly grateful for the level of care he and his team provides. I highly recommend you give him a try if you’re suffering from back pain. Thanks again Dr. Kris!

I have nothing but praises for the team at Core Wellness centre (chiropractor, massage therapists, physiotherapist and administrative staff)! They are professional, friendly and accommodating! I came in shortly after having my first baby. I was treated for upper back/neck pain and have become a regular since then! The treatment worked wonders for me after only two visits! My regular visits have helped tremendously with pain management and misalignments during and through my second pregnancy. I actually really enjoyed the second pregnancy because I didn't have as many problems (all the joys of pregnancy) and or carried on much better. Connie and members of staff are probably some of the best office staff and professionals anyone can hope for. I have enjoyed the 'village' feeling with them. Best place in town!!

Been going to Core Wellness centre since July, Dr. Kris and his whole team are outstanding. I got quick x-rays, diagnostics, physiotherapy and Chiro and am feeling a lot better every week from the day I started going. Best wellness centre in the city. Highly recommend to everyone.

Dr. Dorkin is always great.

The environment at Core is inviting and safe. Personnel are extremely kind and helpful. Dr Dorken knows his stuff and has been very helpful to me in dealing with my particular situation. Well equipped, well staffed and authentic passion for health, can't ask for anything more.

I am a 30 year old male in pretty decent health. I have been going to this clinic for a little over six months, more as a preventive measure than a corrective one, since I practice mixed martial arts as a hobby. The thing I like the most is that they make a full assessment on your first session (they take x-rays, put you on a scale to show how you distribute your weight, take pictures of your posture, etc). This revealed that I have a slight shift in my lower spine (from sitting in bad posture at the office, I suppose) and I am in the very early stages of arthritis in my neck. They are also always very helpful at the desk (dealing with insurance and stuff like that). The things I like least are that I still haven't had a follow up checkup and I also wish they had more hours of operation, although I admit those are nitpicks. The bottom line is that I can see improvements in my posture and range of motion (particularly for my neck and my lower back). This is most apparent when I train MMA. I definitely recommend the Core Wellness Centre.

This place is very conveniently close to the bus and street car stop. Staff are very helpful and friendly. I had a massage once there, and that was amazingly good. But most of all my lower back pain is almost gone. I started having a 2 sessions every week, then once a week and, now I only need to see Dr. Dorken once every 2 weeks.

One of the best chiropractic and physiotherapy centers in Toronto if not the best of all. Highly experienced dr. Chris Dorken, the clever physiotherapist and friendly staff will help you get rid of your body pains using latest techniques and instruments. You will be happy and grateful at the end.

I was seeing a chiropractor for a year and half and I wasn’t getting the recovery I wanted. Within 4 visits at the core wellness, I have been making huge progress. I love that the Y strap is integrated into the session as well. I just wish I started at core wellness sooner.

Sheela Sriharsha

I have been coming to Core Wellness for about a month after being in a car accident. Dr Kris has been very gentle with giving me adjustments twice a week to get me back to where I was pre-accident. I have also been receiving RMT from Navita each week to loosen tight muscles and always feel great after each visit! She takes the time to listen to where my concerns are and adjusts her pressure depending on how I am feeling at each visit. I also receive PT services where the staff have been providing me with exercises and stretches to help my recovery. They take time to make sure I know the proper way to do them before I leave each visit. I would highly recommend going to Core Wellness it is welcoming and all of the staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

Core wellness is THE best clinic that I’ve been to. They have a well equipped facility. Everyone in the clinic are professional, friendly and accommodating. The environment is extremely clean, which is so important during Covid times, they take all the precautions to ensure the safety of all patients. Dr. Dorken gets a special shoutout because he really cares about the well being of his patients. I’ve only had 3 sessions with Dr.Dorken, and I can already feel a tremendous difference with my mobility. I can say With full confidence that Dr. Dorken is a master of his craft. I highly recommend core wellness for anyone who wants to take back their health, mobility, or even to just give your body a TLC.

I've been seeing Dr Kris for more than three years (along with my partner and my sister). We each came with different concerns--I've had some back and neck pain and general low energy and immunity, and since I started treatment its made a world of difference! Less pain and stiffness, better sleep, better moods, and all around better health and energy levels! Not to mention going to his office is always a great experience because everyone who works there is so wonderful and friendly, and Dr Kris cares and takes extra interest in your health, asking and answering questions and concerns, and giving extra advice and feedback, providing free interactive educational workshops on various topics, and always going the extra mile to make sure you are well taken care of. He's a great person and great doctor!
