CORE Chiropractic at a glance

Reviewers consistently praise the professional, friendly staff and doctors who provide clear explanations and thorough treatment plans for back, neck, and joint pain. Positive feedback highlights punctual appointments, efficient service, and transparent pricing structures. However, several low-rated reviews criticize the practice for aggressive billing practices, specifically regarding insurance codes and out-of-pocket costs, with some patients reporting that treatments did not effectively resolve their pain despite the high expenses.

Dr. Brown and the staff here at CORE are the best hands down. Patient, quick response time, compassionate care, great customer service, and thorough treatment plans for results, not just temporary pain management. After sitting injuries from a brutal car accident, I couldn't have asked for better.

Finding the real source of the problem and building a clear plan around it is what Dr. Nguyen does best. I appreciate you calling out the environment too.

For starters, Zhoie, Kensie, Eduardo, Alisa, Julie who greet and check me out every visit are the professional and kindhearted type of crew you wish every establishment had and invested in. Service like this is a true reflection on the workplace culture. Now Dr. Cordova is the Man!! A month ago I had so much pain in my back shoulders and knees and was considering all types of remedies. But his evaluation and recommendations for my care has me feeling brand new. Thanks Doc. I fully endorse this practice and look forward to my continued maintenance and care under their guidance.

Response from the owner · a week ago

Feeling brand new a month in is the best kind of update a chiropractor can get. Zohie, Kensie, Eduardo, Alisa and Julie really do help set the tone at our Galleria office, and you're right that it comes from the culture we've worked hard to build here. Thank you for trusting us with your back pain and for taking the time to share this!

Dr. Nguyen is amazing, and the rest of the staff is so kind as well! Since the beginning, I have been greeted with nothing but kindness and genuine care. I originally came in struggling with back pain that was affecting my everyday life, and the difference I’ve experienced since starting treatment has been incredible. Not only has my back improved tremendously, but I’m finally sleeping better and getting back to being active and doing the things I love. Dr. Nguyen truly takes the time to listen, explain everything, and make sure I’m comfortable throughout the process. I’m so grateful for the progress I’ve made and couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Response from the owner · 2 weeks ago

Hearing that you're sleeping better again is huge. Back pain that follows you into bed and into your daily routine wears on everything, so getting active again and back to the things you love is the progress we hope for with every patient at our Galleria office. Dr. Nguyen puts real care into listening and explaining each step, and we're glad that came through for you. Thank you for trusting CORE Chiropractic with your care and for recommending us to others looking for a chiropractor in the Galleria area.

Response from the owner · 2 weeks ago

Results over temporary relief is the whole reason our Galleria office runs the way it does, so reading that line meant a lot. We'd rather find what's actually driving the problem and correct it than keep chasing pain week to week. Being called the best chiropractic team in Houston is high praise, and we don't take it lightly. Thank you for taking the time to write this!

Amazing results and service so far. I’m also impressed by the speed and efficiency with which they move!

Response from the owner · 3 weeks ago

Results and a smooth visit are exactly what we aim for at our Galleria office, so I'm glad both are showing up for you this early. We work hard to keep things moving without ever rushing your care, and respecting your time is a big part of that. Thank you for trusting us as your chiropractor in the Galleria!
