Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Awesome Doc
Very engaged. Great listener. Skilled and fantastic results.

I've had quite a few chiropractors in the past and have struggled with back pain for a long time, and Dr. Kara is by far the best chiropractor I've ever been to. She now works at the newly opened chiropractic office at Lake Superior Community Health Center in Duluth. Since my time seeing her, I've never had such great results. Not only is she intelligent and provides successful results, she also cares. She is compassionate and makes you feel comfortable during visits, and truly cares very deeply about your whole wellbeing. I've also struggled with not wanting to be touched, so chiropractic was scary for me for a while. She is always sensitive of that and makes me feel safe enough to be adjusted. Part of that is because she really knows what she is doing and how to best help you. Chiropractic can be intimidating, but I assure you that this provider will make you feel comfortable and give you great results. I have full faith in this provider! Could not recommend her enough!

I had never been to a chiropractor in my entire life, but after living with neck, foot, and back pain, I decided to give it a shot. After my initial appointment, I was given some options towards help with my pain. It's important to note, that it was not pushy at all, and was left up to me. I'm about 10 appointments in, and I always look forward to it. I've seen both doctors, who are a pleasure to work with. I'm always greeted with a smile from the receptionist, great help from the doctors, and

Dr Kara treated me when I experienced an acute episode of chronic neck disc degeneration. After a few weeks of adjustments,decompression therapy, and other modalities, I was pain free. Her follow-through included prescribing and monitoring rehab exercises so.I have more mobility and strength in my neck than I have had for many years! I can now look up and see the stars in the night sky!

I have been a patient of Drs Greg and Kara McGillivray for over 20 years. I originally began seeing Dr. Kara when she was first out of medical school and I had had an accident. I continue treating with Drs. Greg and Kara to this day for maintenance, which keeps me healthy. Both doctors are extremely compassionate and caring and listen to your concerns and then decide the best treatment plan for you.

Several years ago I went to the Chiropractic Health Ctr with debilitating spine and neck pain. My family doctor could not help me, but after several months with Dr's Greg and Kara I was pain free! Professional, friendly and thorough. Given advice on exercises and diet, I now go every month to stay in the best health that I can. My quality of life has returned !

Dr. Kara McGillivray is educated, intelligent, compassionate and professional. She takes the time to educate her patients in how to improve their not only their spine, but their overall health and wellness. The combination of spinal manipulation and therapy treatments have made a marked improvement on my health. Her positive energy, the cleanliness and comfort of her office and the fabulous staff make Chiropractic Health Center my first choice in chiropractic care in the Twin Ports.
