I went to Dynamic Chiro on the advice of a friend and the great reviews on City Search, but always failed to get Dr. Carr (although this was never made clear to me when I made the appt) and always got Dr. Lee.
Fortunately, Dr. Lee totally knows what he's doing and talking about and will explain everything thoroughly.
What I did not like was the upsell - apparently I have a horrible spine (will probably look like Hunchback of Notre Dame in a few years' time, according to xrays) and need to see Dr. Lee 3x/week for 3 weeks straight then maintenance.
Dr. Lee could have easily gotten 4 stars (the no validation parking is a big turnoff too -- and they expect me to do this THREE TIMES PER WEEK?!) if it were not for the upsell.
- Pros: Knowledgeable, professional, listens
- Cons: Upsell, no parking validation
I went to the others... this guy is the best.

I was extremely skeptical of chiropractic but pain medication was no longer helping me control the severe pain in my neck and shoulders caused by a horse related accident. I decided to go into Dr. Carr's office for the initial exam. I was very impressed by his knowledge and the fact that he x-rayed the painful area before treatment instead of just jumping in and trying to fix it. He went about the process thoughtfully, professionally, and skillfully. I no longer have those painful episodes or headaches, and am a firm believer in chiropractic.
- Pros: right downtown. friendly, knowledgable.
- Cons: none
Exceptional Chiropractor

Like many others who seek chiropractic services, it can often be a bit of a hopscotch finding a doctor who is the right fit for you. I have tried it all: the chiropractor with the scary tools, the sadist who seems to do more harm than good, the uncaring professional who counts the seconds. When I walked into Dr. Carr's office, it was with hard-earned skepticism. However, the experience was immediately different. Stacy, his receptionist, greets you like she cares. I was quick to learn this was a reflection of Dr. Carr himself - he truly cares about his patients. He will go out of his way to make sure he sees you, he will take time to ask questions, he won't rush through his adjustments. All of this, of course, would be a moot point if he wasn't any good. Fortunately, he's wonderful! He has a holistic concept of good health combined with refreshing techniques that break from the stodgy traditions often found in his trade. Obviously, I am a whole-hearted advocate of Dynamic Chiropractic and recommend you readers out there to do yourselves a favor and give him a shot.
- Pros: Great People, Great Services
Why isn't the top listed person listed first here?

Dr. Carr has like 3 times the number of reviews here, and isn't listed first. Why? I thought the care was everything I was missing: personal, easy, efficient, and effective. I chose him because I did alittle more researching and found him here and gave it a shot. A more personal doc would be hard to find. His jokes: not so funny, but but me to ease. i go a nd have gone for about two months. I see and feel the changes. If you are looking for change, do it with Dr. Carr.
- Pros: No validated parking
- Cons: NONE GO SEE THIS GUY.
Love this place... Doctor Carr is a GOD!

So I was a LOT apprehensive about going to see a chiropractor, and that's why I looked through all these reviews, turns out the best is often the hardest to find. My apprehensiveness was put to rest upon entering the office, which is really nice, and the staf, (ditto).
Dr. Carr did an exam, which seemed more like a workout, honestly, and then told me what I had.. he tookminimal pictures of me, and then explained everything, and got to work. He was confident and sure, and I let him adjust me. Holy Moley! I felt immediately better. I would recommend him to anyone.
I've been going off and on for tune ups for a while, and always feel better when I leave.
- Pros: Awesome
- Cons: None
Dr Carr is AMAZING!

It's not a huge exaggeration to say Dr Carr has changed my life. I work from home, spend long hours in front of a computer and as a result had developed terrible posture... Eventually my slumping and stooping led to two bulging discs in my neck which were excruciating. Couldn't sit, stand or lie down for very long without pain. So, on the recommendation of a friend, off I went to see Dr Carr who assessed me for free, sent me for an MRI the next day, and saw me the day after to follow up - his day off! The pain was noticeably less after my first visit and six months later I am pain-free. It's been a long haul: I've had to change bad habits, adjust to sleeping on a special pillow (which I now love but it took a while), do daily exercises, and visit Dr Carr for weekly adjustments, but all so worth it. My posture is visibly improved and my pain is gone. I can't recommend Dr Carr enough - plus he's funny and knows his stuff. I'd like to add that my youngest daughter adores him and is always made to feel welcome when I have to take her to my appointments with me.
- Pros: Knowledgable; great office staff; likes my kids; friendly; funny; good at what he does...
- Cons: none
I actually trust this guy!! I never thought I'd see a chiropractor, but I'll always go to this one.

Dr. Carr saw me the same day for my back injury, something I've been struggling with since grade school. I was impressed by the neat decor in the office first: you can tell Dr. C likes his job. Everything he said, everything he talked about was the nervous system and the spine. He even has a real one or two in the office. He simply sat and listened to me during my interview... It was so weird, since my experience at Swedish was so different (see my review). I actually felt uncomfortable talking so much, but Dr. C just listened, then summarized what I said, and then got to work. He explained my issues as he saw them, did some tests to see if he was right, and then we started into care. He walked me through the adjustments, then did them... I don't think I'd ever felt better! I then walked back to work, and I've NEVER imagined what it would be like to be free of pain. I felt like dancing!!
- Pros: Awesome!
- Cons: THere's only one Dr. Carr

It's becoming more and more my experience that if I simply listen to my patients, more often than not they will come right out and tell me what is going on with them. I'm really glad I could help you. Don't keep it a secret!
IF YOU HAVE A SPINE YOU NEED A CHIROPRACTOR. IF YOU NEED A CHIROPRACTOR, YOU NEED DR. C

I went to Dr. Carr because I couldn't figure out what was going on.... I read the reviews here on Citysearch and thought they might all be hooey, but I went anyway. Dr. C ran me through some weird tests that resembled calisthenics, and looked at me quizzically. He said that some things made sense to him, some things didn't. My MD visit immediately defaulted to and MRI, but Dr. Carr explained why he thought it was necessary.
He filled out the referral immediately and I got the MRI in a day. You have to understand that I was scared.. I am a very active person, I run, I walk, I swim, I golf.
Dr. Carr called me back that night after hours and said he was worried whether I had gone, asked about my experience. The next morning, he took almost an hour with me, a new patient, and I watched his waiting room fill up. Dr. Carr closed the door and sat down with me and explained the results. Turns out my low back was literally broken and the disc that holds the bone together was gooping out, pushing on my nerves.
Dr. Carr told me I wasn't a chiropractic patient. I thought that was remarkable... I heard most chiropractors are in it for the money. Dr. Carr is in it for the patients. He set up an appointment for me with a physiatrist and a neurosurgeon, and I thought this was interesting: the physiatrist complimented me on my chiropractor choice!! Wow.
So now, I'm going in for surgery, and while I'm not looking forward to it, I'm going to get it done. Dr. Carr will be getting a new patient again after I heal from the operation, though... he's definitely someone I want on my health care team. He's a great doctor, teacher, and listener. I can't comment on his adjusting... I never got adjusted by him!! Still, his skills showed through.
- Pros: I wish all doctors could be like this.
- Cons: No validated parking.

Thank you for your gushing testimonial... I'm blushing here. No, your case was a special one.. I love adjusting patients, as I get more results from that than doing nothing. (Except in the rare case as yours) I saw you had your surgery, and I'm glad you got it. Keep taking good care of yourself!
Holy Moley, FINALLY a GOOD chiropractor.

I've been to chiros, some quacks, some gods, some well most in between. I think Dr. C is among the top guys I've been to.
My background is neurology and I challenged Dr. C on a couple of things, everything he said was backed up.
His adjusting is first rate, and I'd trust him with children. I certainly have chosen him. He's the best reviewed here and I can cetainly see why!
- Pros: Fast, efficient, friendly
- Cons: None.
