GREAT PLACE! TREAT YOU LIKE FAMILY! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! AWESOME PEOPLE! I went to Dr Trochim 2 months back barely able to sit or stand up straight, along with being slightly skeptical of chiropractic care. The moment I walked in the door I was greeted with a warm welcome and a tour of the facility. Then I got an explanation of what chiropractic is, Dr Trochim even sit down to make sure I understood what his goals would be as my doctor before we proceeded. They then have xray machines on site to diagnose what your exact problem is and move forward with a recovery plan. Each time after, you are greeted with with the same warm welcome. After 2 months and 20 visits I am very close to a full recovery and would greatly recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I look forward to what they have in store for me next for my regular maintenance plan.

My expectations were exceeded by this wonderful, caring Chiropractic office! The staff is exceptional and knows you by name when you step through the door! The logistics of providing care at each visit, for every patient, is extremely efficient! Dr. Trochim instills a knowledge of how chiropractic care works from the very start of your treatment, which makes a world of difference in the physical and mental outcome of the entire process. Caring, compassionate, and kind--a place where all can feel welcomed and sincerely cared for!

I've never enjoyed or look forward to going to the doctor's office. But doctor Trochim and staff treat you more like family than patients. To go somewhere and be greeted by name, and receive treatment tailored to your needs is amazing. They invest in your physical and spiritual well-being. How have I survived this long without chiropractic Care?

Dr. Trochim and his 2 assistants are highly proficient and professional in providing quality care. I had experienced a back injury and whiplash over the past 2 years and had continual back and neck movement problems until my recent series of treatments. Dr. Trochim identified the problems, explained them clearly, and provided a treatment plan that worked beyond my expectations. The entire team treated me courteously and professionally through the entire process. The facility is immaculate and well organized with the patient in mind.

Never been to a chiropractor before and didn’t know what to expect. Dr. Trochim and his staff explained not just why I was currently in pain but how the recommended treatment plan would help me long term and benefit my overall health. The whole staff is friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend.

Dr. Trochim as well as his entire staff are great. By far the best adjustment you can get. Dr. Trochim actually takes the time to listen to his patients. What I love the most is the weekly flyers Dr. Trochim hands out, these flyers teach us about chiropractic care and about Gods care for us.

Thank you, Trochim Family Chiropractic. After the vehicle accident, I experienced a lot of pain. My pain has decreased and mobility increased due to the adjustments and doable exercise plans (at home and in the office). I love the warm, friendly, positive atmosphere of the office. This is an educational environment in which I can learn and incorporate healthy habits in my daily routine. My wellness is very important to me. Working with a team who also values my wellness is refreshing, and I am thankful.

After a bike injury over a decade ago, I realized I needed more than the occasional chiropractic care I had been getting for symptom relief. Dr. Trochim and his staff are friendly, professional, and thorough in their care. Dr. Trochim takes the time to explain the state of your spinal health and how it relates to your overall health using data from x-rays and exams. I feel confident that I am getting the best care possible, and for a very reasonable price. Not only has my back and neck pain subsided, but I feel healthier and more energetic than I have in years. I highly recommend this practice!

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Trochim for almost two years. It is comforting to go to a chiropractor where kids are welcomed and there is a safe environment. The offices are always clean, the staff is pleasant and knows everyone by name. Dr. Trochim is very knowledgeable and overall a great chiropractor.

Dr. Trochim and his staff are so good to their patients AND each other that you would think they are family. They are great at making you feel welcome and comfortable from the second you walk through the door when they greet you by name until the moment you leave. Dr. Trochim himself is fun and easy to work with as well as ethical and professional. I trust him to work with my wife and my new baby. While it's obvious that he wants what is best for the client, he will work with him/her to do what he/she is most comfortable with. My family and I drive 30 minutes one direction to be adjusted by him because him and his staff are the best. update: My family and I have been visiting Dr. Trochim for over a year now and we're just as happy as we were when we started. With our baby learning to walk, she's falling a lot and this can cause issues. I know her spine has its best chance of being healthy while in Dr. Trochim's care.

I went to see Dr. Trochim the same day after getting injured and I am so glad that I did! Normally I would try to tough it out and wait however I was in so much pain I went right to him! He adjusted me, gave me exercises to do at home and advised me on how to properly use ice for my injury. I went from being in a lot of pain and very uncomfortable, to feeling so much better in less then 24 hours! I have seen him since and continued to improve and will continue to see him for regular adjustments. His staff is always very efficient and professional and his office is nicer then others I have visited! If you choose to go and see him, I really don't see how you could possibly be disappointed!

I typically don’t write reviews. However, this chiropractor and staff are simply amazing. I have been to many other offices, and can say none are quite like this one. Every visit I have been greeting personally, by name, with a smile. I have been going a few weeks now, and feel progress with each visit. I highly recommend this chiropractor’s office.

My entire family has seen Dr. Trochim. When my daughter was about a month old she started seeing him for colic and the amount of difference it made for her was unbelievable. Currently going through my second pregnancy, I have been having terrible hip pain to the point sometimes I cannot even walk. I’ve been seeing Dr. Trochim for 2 weeks and it’s gradually getting better. He thoroughly explains everything he is doing in my course of treatment and has even offered to show my husband some things he can do to help if my hip pain happens in between my appointments. Dr. Trochim, Ruth, & Brittany are so friendly and always make you feel welcome. They are quick to work you in when you don’t have an appointment and are always looking to help in any way possible. I go here even though it’s not in network for my insurance .. there is no other place I would go - the quality of care is just that good.

I dont generally fill out reviews but thought it was important to share my experience. I have been dealing with sciatic back pain for over 2 years. Had surgery 4 months ago which only gave me some relief so I decided to see a Chiropracter to see if that would help. So I made an appointment to visit Dr Trochim. He gave me a full evaluation, explained the issues and his plan to not only releave my pain but how to improve my overall long term health. After just 4 visits with Dr Trochim my pain was completely gone!!!! Dr. Trochim and his team are amazing and treat you like family from the minute you arrive. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is experiencing back issues. Dont suffer with pain any longer. Dr Trochim and his team will get you on the path to recovery.

I Came in here couple months ago with major back pain in several places on my back and pain shooting around my ribs to the point where I couldn't even stand up straight. Having never been to a Chiropractor before I wasn't even sure if anything was going to help my pain go away. Immediately after walking into the office. I was greeted by the most friendliest staff ever. After Dr. Trochim and his team did x-rays, they immediately found the problem, and began treating me right away, and even set up a treatment plan for me. Within several treatments I was already noticing a difference. I could stand up straight. My pain in my ribs was gone. I felt like I had so much more energy and motivation at work. All because my back wasn't hurting anymore. My entire back was feeling so much better, because of the adjustments made by Dr. Trochim. I would recommend Dr. Trochim and his team to anyone. He does a really amazing job!

If you're looking for a chiropractor, you can confidently choose Dr. Trochim. He is knowledgeable, friendly, skilled, caring, and a good listener and educator. My wife and young son both go to him and have nothing but good things to say about him and his staff.

I've been going to Dr. Trochim for over 2 years now...he has been a tremendous help in keeping me flexible and feeling great--I have especially appreciated his help with off-and-on back and knee pain. Today I'm pain-free compared to when I first started with him. His staff are always pleasant and professional; visits are always timely, efficient and effective. I'm thankful for all the support Dr. Trochim and his office have given to me and continue to go to him for maintenance visits. I have also recommended him to others who have found him to be just as helpful.
