I've been to a few chiropractors in Victoria after having suffered several lower back injuries from…read moreoverexerting myself in badminton and I was pretty much convinced that they're all quacks. A crack here and there in a very expensive "chiropractic chair", all in less than 10 minutes and you're sent out the door to pay your customary amount. I've worked out that these chiropractors pretty much make a fine $30-$40 every 15 minutes or so, with the way they try to churn patients out the door like in a factory line. Until Dr. P. I had the misfortune of being in a car accident in late February 2010 with a somewhat debilitating neck injury and my GP suggested going to see a chiropractor in tandem with a physiotherapist. One of our friends suggested Victoria Exercise and Rehabilitation Centre, where Dr. P is housed. He completely proved me wrong and proceeded to be the most amiable, knowledgeable and effective chiropractor ever. The guy explained the injury, treatments available, billing and post-care stuff so well that you will feel like he pretty much anticipated and answered all your questions. He does a very thorough job from check up down to your last treatment which results in a very effective and continual healing process. The 3-4 months worth of treatments with Dr. P. gave me a solid foundation to build on and I'm pretty much back to full mobility now thanks to him and the physio staff there. My progression was very much in line with the expected time of recovery for my sort of injury (about 12 months) but I'd say I was feeling back at 100% by the 7 month. Bonus is, he's also very up-to-date and modern; you can find him on Facebook and Youtube I believe, in addition to the monthly or so newsletters he sends out to his patients. The key thing to remember is that chiropractors are not miracle workers. You actually have to do your part too. If you constantly go to your chiropractor, GP or whatever and whine about how your back kills you but you over eat and don't ever really work on your core or bother exercising, they can't cure you. The important thing is to respect your body's ability to heal but at the same time, push yourself too because a can-do mental attitude goes hand in hand with physical healing. I tried to convince Dr. P. to move to Port Moody but no dice right now, which means I have to trek back to the island for treatments.

I went to see Dr. Gordon two years ago as a new family doctor. He was fine -- nothing exceptional, but fine. Since that time, I had one isolated appointment (I think it was even through the walk-in clinic!) with my parents' doctor (because I was at home visiting for a long-ish period of time and was leaving the country for several months before returning to Victoria) -- but I still considered Dr. Gordon my family doctor. However, when I phoned to book an appointment with Dr. Gordon, the receptionist at the Cook St. Village Health Centre rudely informed me that the fact that I had seen another doctor in the meantime indicates that I am 'doctor hopping,' I clearly do not consider Dr. Gordon my family doctor, and I am depriving other people of a doctor. I can completely understand her point (although do not feel she is correct in suggesting I am regularly seeing two family doctors), but her tone and attitude were so unnecessarily patronizing and offensive that I will not be returning to this clinic. I know that the receptionist's attitude may not reflect that of the practitioners, but for me it is important to feel comfortable and supported when visiting a clinic -- and I felt that I received the very opposite of that during this interaction (kind of sadly ironic when you consider this is supposed to be a 'holistic' practice that addresses all aspects of health and healing).
