Dr. Chris is an amazing chiropractor! He truly takes his time to listen and figure out exactly what's going on instead of rushing you through the appointment. He explains everything clearly and creates a really solid, personalized health plan to actually fix the problem--not just give a temporary adjustment. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and their long-term health. If you're looking for a chiropractor in the Cary area who is thorough, knowledgeable, and actually invested in helping you feel better, I highly recommend Dr. Chris. read more

This is a great chiropractic office. I've been going to a chiropractor for some years now and have been to various offices along with our various moves. I am very active and this helps me stay that way. I have a job that requires this as well. The office staff is very friendly and communicates very well with ease in scheduling and transparency in billing. I see Dr. C Outten and he is great at what he does in that he is professional and also cares about his patients. I never feel rushed or just a number here because to them you're not. Unfortunately this can be hard to find. Most importantly, my neck and back are feeling better as well. If you're looking for pain relief in your body then definitely do yourself a favor and go make an appointment. read more

As soon as I was diagnosed with two herniated disks, I contacted Dr. Outten. I knew from previous experience that Spinal Decompression therapy was the only non-surgical therapy that was going to bring me any relief. Dr. Outten was thorough in his examination and his staff professional and comforting. I learned a great deal more about my condition as Dr. Outten explained his therapy program in detail. I committed myself to the treatment, knowing Spinal Decompression would make me feel better. And I was right! I left my first decompression session feeling 100% better than when I walked in, and the same with every subsequent session. Session by session my back pain subsided and finally went away. I am now pain-free and back to living an active life. I now see Dr. Outten on a periodic basis to maintain the proper spinal alignment his treatment provided. I'm feeling much better overall thanks to Dr. Outten and his wonderful staff! In my book, Spinal Decompression is the ONLY way to go if you have herniated, bulging, or compressed disks. Before you consider any sort of invasive surgical procedure, I encourage you to see Dr. Outten to determine if Spinal Decompression is right for your condition. read more

I experienced VERY light headaches for several years. I just shrugged it off all that time thinking it was caused by stress or tension. I work in IT sitting in front of monitors all day, and I just thought I had tight muscles in my shoulders and neck and that the tension was causing it all. I'd gone to an ear doctor, neurologist, and several regular doctors wondering what caused the headaches, and even had my head scanned at the hospital (costing thousands). Of course none of these professionals could give me any clear answer, and I don't think they could have anyway to be fair. I ran into Dr. Outten while at my work. My company holds an annual health fair, (they give out flu shots, have a skin doctor, check blood sugar etc.) and Dr. Outten was checking out peoples spines as part of it. When I saw he was doing this, it clicked in my mind, "It's gotta be my neck." He checked me out, and I immediately setup an appointment as quickly as I could be there. I went in for an evaluation, and sure enough, I needed some chiropractic attention. I had my first adjustment a week later, and the very first one (first one in my life in fact), brought me to tears just through relief alone! There was ZERO pain, and 100% relief. Each adjustment (follow up visit) after that just kept my spine in order. During that time, I got to know his staff a bit, did stretches at home (given to me by Dr. Outten), and just started feeling better. By the way, that head ache is LONG gone. I asked Dr. Outten how long he'd been doing this during one of my visits. He simply said, "28 years." I can't think of anyone else to recommend. When I tell other people about my experience, I tell them, "You know how you need a regular doctor and a dentist? That's WRONG. You need a regular doctor, dentist, and a CHIROPRACTOR. -Greg Moore read more

I live in San Francisco and was in Raleigh on business. I wasn't able to sleep, had a 6-hour flight scheduled for the next day. Needless to say I was popping Advil and Tylenol like a madman. A guy in my office recommended I go see Dr. Outten. I called the office and the receptionist was friendly and accommodating. I told her the situation and said I needed to see someone right away. She clearly explained the costs and said to come now. 30-minutes later I was being examined by a doctor. After a fairly thorough examination the doctor determined I had a rib out of place that was putting pressure on a muscle and causing the pain. My pelvis bone was out of alignment, as were several places in my neck. I was a mess. One of the doctors recommended a treatment to loosen the muscles and was totally clear on the cost ($30). After receiving the treatment I went to the adjustment area. The doctor explained everything he was going to do and I felt at ease. The adjustment made an immediate improvement. The staff even took the information for my chiropractor back home and faxed them the treatments that had been performed. I highly, and without any question, recommend Dr. Outten. The staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Outten is a class act and an obvious expert. The next time I'm in Raleigh I'll see him again. read more

I have been under Dr. Outen's care for the 13 years I have lived in Cary/Apex, NC. I have been in very excruciating pain many times and Dr. Outen has relieved my pain and got me back to a normal life. I have referred many friends to Dr. Outen and all of them have had great results. I don't see Dr. Outen on a regular basis like I should, but when I need his care, it always works!! Brett Apex, NC read more

Outten Chiropractic treats patients with care, respect, and friendliness. There is never the feel of just a cold and impersonal medical office. I have a congenital scoliosis that has caused me long term pain and I visit Dr. Outten regularly. He has come into the office on a weekend for an emergency adjustment when I could barely function. I have been able to much better manage my chronic back problems with Dr. Outten's care. I feel I must address some of the specific negatives mentioned by Paul R in his review. Dr. Joy may not be licensed to provide chiropractic care in this state. I have never had reason to ask, because Dr. Outten provides all medical care himself. Dr. Joy assists with X-Rays, measurements, insurance, and office matters. So this is a non-issue and an improper caution to prospective patients. The statement that Dr. Outten is incapable of basic manual adjustments on a table is a flat-out lie. I get manual adjustments all the time. He has an uncanny ability to find problem areas by touch and deliver the perfect pressure, twists, and pops without causing pain and with perceptible relief. I have had manipulations by many different practicioners and I will say without hesitation that Dr. Outten does the best job "on the table" of anyone who has ever worked my back. I have no reluctance whatsoever in offering a full recommendation to anyone in need of chiropractic care. read more

I have always had back issues for years. Since I started going here a few years ago, I have no back issues at all. Very friendly employees and always willing to work around your schedule. I have also left the office around the holidays with some home made cookies:) read more

When one purchases services from someone two things are important: knowing the price and knowing that you can trust the seller. Over my three-month experience, I concluded that this practice failed me in providing both. I have had 4 financial issues and 2 trust-related issues. I had started to go to Dr. Outten roughly three months ago, once or twice a week (I learned them by AmazonLocal). Dr. Outten himself was a nice enough guy whose adjustments and stuff were fine and effective (and tried to square things up when I had too much issues with the place, the reason I'm giving them 2 stars). His receptionists were also very cheerful and personable to some level. They were always willing to schedule around my schedule which was nice. HOWEVER, some billing stuff were just annoying. Especially since they offer to take care of insurance, if you do not compare the insurance statement with their bill, you'll likely end up paying more than what you were originally told. Even though Dr Joy gave me handwritten a cost breakdown sheet which I kept, Dr Joy has claimed the additional charge was something I was informed of to begin with. IF you decide to go, make sure to KEEP RECORDS. read more

Outstanding patient care! I've been a patient for many years and this family owned practice always goes above and beyond for their patients. I was on bedrest for five months and Dr. Outten even made house calls and his wife Lisa brought over a casserole! You simply don't see that kind of care and commitment for patients these days but it is much appreciated by the patient's of his practice. read more

Dr. Outten and his staff are exceptional. I have been going to him for years and whether its for an acute issue or my bi-monthy adjustment, I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. So happy to have them in my life. Highly recommend! read more

I can highly recommend Dr. Outten, he is the best chiropractor I have seen, and the changes in my health his treatment resulted in are impressive. I have seen other chiropractors in the Sates and abroad (very well recommended ones), but no one has so far met the skill level of Dr. Outten. He is very knowledgable and his adjustments are the best ones I've experienced. I am sad to have relocated and no longer being able to see him. I will surely see him again anytime I visit the area, his adjustments are the ones that have given me the best results and I am very lucky to have been treated by him. If interested here is a description of why he became a life changer for me: I sit for a living and play full contact sports in my free time. I have had issues with my neck and shoulder for years, because of my work. I have seen doctors, physiotherapists but nothing really helped, the aches and pains always came back. At one point my symptoms (pains and ache in my neck and shoulder) got worse. Suddenly the pain in my shoulder got more and more intense and was constant. I couIdn't move my arm, nor play the sports I love so much. I saw a doctor and was sent to a scan as he suspected I had a herniated disc in my neck due to crucifying pain i my shoulder. It wasn't a herniated disc, but I was told I had to quit exercising, and playing any contact sports, take pain medicine for 2-3 months and rest, and possibly have surgery after that. I was devastated of course. The meds were relieving but didn't remove the pain. My fingers in my left hand were going numb. I saw Outten for about a month - and all symptoms were gone and have been gone since. read more

I tell all of my friends to stay clear of Dr. Outten. I went there for arm and neck pain and was encouraged to sign a contract for reduced fees. I was told that if the treatment wasn't working, he would release me from the contract. I had over 50 adjustments using the "Pro-adjuster", which felt like a jack hammer on my spine, but I had hope that it would help (no pain, no gain?). I told Dr. Outten that my arm would go numb after the treatments. Even his own scans indicated that I was getting worse - though he neglected to show me those, so I had to ask to see them myself. Since the office seems meticulous in going over scans with patients, I found it odd that the only scan I wasn't shown was a scan that suggested the treatment was worsening the problem and/or creating others. Of course, I can't be sure it was a conscious omission. I hope not. Anyway, I was in more and more pain, until my family doctor suggested I might want to quit treatment. She saw I had massive muscle spasms in my upper back, and in less than 5 minutes, she solved that particular problem with mild traction by gently pulling on my arm while massaging the muscle. Dr. Outten refused to let me out of the contract, but I was so scared to let him keep working on me, that I paid the balance and left. My arm and neck were still hurting, and I was referred for an MRI. It turns out that I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder, with referred neck pain. Thousands of dollars and months later, the problem was solved. If you do go to Dr. Outten, please do not sign any contracts. I think he really believes he can do miracles and just doesn't hear you when you give him feedback to the contrary. Oh, and instead of massage to relax you, they hook you up to electric stimulation; some people might like that, but I prefer a more personal touch. The office staff was nice, but they really have no idea what goes on in the treatment rooms. Perhaps he has helped others,but he did not diagnose my problem correctly, and his treatment caused more pain. He absolutely refused to believe that. I know that doctors are only human, but they really do have to be able to set aside their pride and arrogance and really listen to their patients. "Do no harm", right? I doubt I will ever go to a chiropractor again, but if I do, I will never sign another contract, and will be wary of grandiose promises. I never write reviews, but I feel so strongly against this medical practice, that I want to alert others. read more

I have been using Dr. Outten for several years now and the practice is great. Their scheduling is extremely flexible and everyone is so accommodating. Having had mainly manual adjustments in the past - I enjoy the methods Dr. Outten uses for chiropractic care. I also enjoy the roller tables they use! I have never had any billing or insurance issues and would recommend this practice for acute care or ongoing health maintenance. read more

I've always had a top notch experience ever since I've started coming! Very clean, very professional and always accommodating! There is a sincere approach to helping each patient feel like they are a priority! This is an office that was easy to write a review on! Thanks everyone! read more

I have been going to Dr. Outten for several years, and he has helped me so much with my back and with holistic health. I recently cracked a rib. He suggested that I try the new cold laser that he had gotten to see if it would help. The first session did not seem to do that much, to be honest, but he suggested that I try several more as it could take a course of treatments. Because I trust him and his staff implicitly, I tried again. After the second time, while I hurt a little more that first day, the next day, the pain was markedly better. After the third time, my pain is virtually gone...it was amazing. I highly recommend cold laser; just remember that the first ime you may see no change and it may be a little worse, but keep at it. It's nice to be pain free again. read more
