Center of Life Chiropractic

I can’t really review their services because I never got in! I am done with all doctors and their staff thinking patients can wait forever without the simple courtesy of a phone call to say the doctor is running late. It took awhile to get an appt, I planned my morning around it, arrived 5 minutes early to see 3 people waiting (first clue). 25 minutes later the receptionist confirms he is running late with 2 people ahead of me. When I asked why she didn’t call she says, «I just found out»!!! (Really? I knew when I walked in!!) I stormed out, pissed as hell. I don’t care how good their Unilocal reviews are, customer service can speak volumes too.
P. S. The place was visually uncomfortable too with gaudy Xmas décor, colored lights and paraphernalia everywhere.

I have had chronic lower back pain, although the kind that comes then goes for years. My hips hurt periodically, sometimes just from sleeping. Last fall, I hurt my lower back doing deep knee bends to the point that I was walking strangely and had a 7 out of 10 on the pain meter. A friend did some physical therapy with me and it got better. A couple of weeks ago, that same point happened again, simply from a stand while turning maneuver. I was in pain to the degree of a 9 out of 10. Certainly limping.
I called and got in with Dr. Randi. I will not lie. Despite having chiropractic work done before, I was very, very nervous to have ANYONE touch me in the lower back. I was in so much pain! But what could I do? Limp for the rest of my life? So I went. WOW!!! I was in great hands! Not only did she calm my nerves, she is a wizard. Fantastic adjustments without pain. And by the 48 follow up, I was already springing around like nothing had happened.
Devin, at the front desk, well you could not ask for better service.
On a side note, I have also seen Dr. McDonald but shame on me, I had let my chiropractic health take a back seat. He is also fantastic. This is THE place to go if you have never tried chiropractic, you have not been satisfied with chiropractic, you are in pain or or nervous. And needless to say, I will now keep up my monthly appointments:)
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!

I had been having back pains for quite some time and nothing I had tried worked. I’ve gotten multiple massages and pain meds, but the pain never seemed to go away.
I finally decided that it was time for me to go see a chiropractor. I checked Unilocal and found that this place had some pretty good reviews and decided to make an appointment.
The person on the phone was very helpful and was able to give me instructions on how to get to the place. Once I got there he gave me some paperwork to fill out and told me someone would be with me shortly. The staff was cool and laid back. The lady who worked on my back seemed very knowledgeable and had me comfortable during the whole process.
Since I went to the Center of Life, I haven’t had the back pains that I was experiencing before. I recommend them to anyone who has not seen a chiropractor that may be thinking about going to see one.
The only downside to Center of Life is that there aren’t any set fees. I’m not sure if that’s the way most chiropractors operate, but I would have preferred to know exactly what I was paying instead of finding out during check-​out time.

I was new in town, in a lot of pain, and missing my old chiropractor. Center of Life was recommended to me. I called and got in with Dr. Randi.
From the minute you walk in and are greeted by Devin, to the initial consultation, to regular maintenance, to paying and leaving, it is a great experience. I was blown away by the detail of the initial consultation. I also liked the fact that she saw me regularly until I was better. She was the one to bring up that I don’t need to overdue it and could go on a schedule of every three weeks to a month. I appreciated the fact that they did not try to get me coming more often to make more money off me.
Also, when I first called, I had started a new job and did not have health insurance for the first couple of months. I was on Cobra from my last job. Devin went out of his way to research, call doctors, insurance companies, etc to see if there was a way to save me some money, get a co-​pay, etc.
My partner now goes to Dr. McDonald and has nothing but praise about his treatment with him.

I’ll admit it. I didn’t believe chiropractic could help me. However, after six weeks of traditional physical therapy in a hospital that did very little to relieve my pain and lack of flexibility, I was desperate. Thank goodness I found Center of Life! Dr. Carver has been a godsend. She is a positive, knowledgeable, skilled practitioner who has – in just a few weeks – alleviated much of my pain and showed me ways to maintain flexibility. Front office staffer Devin is a fun guy who imbues the office with a positive, healing spirit as well. It is with a straighter posture that I stand up for Center of Life, offering my highest recommendation.

After a horrible experience years ago with an «old school» chiropractor, who’s methods only included crunching you with his full body weight, I vowed to never go again.
I got recommended to Dr. McDonald, and my life, and views, have changed 180 degrees.
Dr. McDonald is gentle, compassionate, and caring. He’s never hurt me, and my lower back pain is gone, after years of suffering. And, now I go monthly, without fail!
Devin, as the first face you see, is friendly, charming, and makes you feel right at home.
Can not recommend Center of Chiropractic highly enough!

I love this place. Devin is wonderful as the first person you meet. Funny, knowledgeable and so nice. Dr, McDonald fixed me up the first time I went. I felt good walking out of there and have continued to feel good. They don’t try to get you in there 3 times a week like some chiropractors do. I was referred here by a friend and I have referred him to 2 of my friends and they love him as well. They also referred me and my dog to a canine chiropractor. Dr. Long did wonders for my miniature Daschund.

Who knew only teenagers have the ability to sleep on a futon, get into a bunch of car accidents, and still live relatively pain free? I certainly didn’t. After years of abuse my poor little spine decided enough was enough.
I found Dr. Aaron through a friend’s word-​of-​mouth suggestion and I can’t say enough good things about him and Center of Life. The location is convenient — just off 75^th and Wornall. The office is spacious, well decorated and filled with plants and several aquariums. Pleasant and tasteful. The staff is friendly and I felt like I was at a salon instead of at a doctor’s office.
I’ve had extensive chiropractic treatment before, but my previous non-​KC doctor had a little bit of a skeezy vibe… lots of fast jibber jabber and stuff billed to my insurance. Shady! Dr. Aaron was just the opposite. He took plenty of time to explain everything (it was, after all, my first visit). He didn’t once push treatment on me or make me feel uncomfortable. He was genuinely compassionate and caring — exactly what a doctor should be like. He also gets bonus points for being funny and laid back.
WOW that first adjustment had me feeling amazing. He was clear in explaining that one treatment doesn’t fix everything but he didn’t try to scare me into endless appointments. I walked out of the office on a cloud and I’ll be in soon to keep my spine, nerves, and whole body healthy. Give him a try!
P. S. I forgot to mention they are LGBT friendly and part of the business houses an acupuncture and licensed massage office. Very cool.

For years I was plagued with back, neck & shoulder pain. A few years ago a friend recommended Dr. Aaron at Center of Life Chiropractic, that he might be able to help my pain.
So I gave him a shot. My life has been so different for the last five years. I no longer take Tylenol and pain killers like tic-​tacs. Dr. Aaron has been able to alleviate so much of my pain; I feel like a new person.
I have sent many people here and they to become loyal patients. Once you go Dr. Aaron you never go back to pain.
I cannot say enough about how good he is, if you need a chiropractor in the Waldo area go see Dr. Aaron
