WHAT TO EXPECT

Consultation
You will have a 1 on 1 visit with the doctor to discuss your health concerns and the reason for your visit.

Examination
After your initial health consultation, we’ll perform a complete & comprehensive chiropractic exam.

X-rays
A series X-rays may be needed to allow us to clearly determine a proper care plan. X-Rays provide us with an objective diagnostic tool that will show us the position of the spinal bones, as well as the quality of the spine and safety of adjusting it. We also use X-rays to determine how long a spinal condition has been developing.

Report of Findings
Your report of findings will be scheduled the day after your Initial Consultation. This will allow for your doctor to study your exam findings, at which point we will share the results that we found with you. You may invite anyone in your family to accompany you, if you choose. Your Report of Findings includes a detailed analysis of what you need in order to solve the problem that brought you into our office and what can be done in order to assure that it won’t happen again. We consider your current lifestyle choices, goals for the future and challenges that are standing in your way. This is why our recommendations are extremely comprehensive and have the chance to be the solution that you have been seeking to find.

Ongoing
Our entire staff strives to keep waiting times to a minimum, so we ask that all patients be prompt for their appointments so we can stay on track. Your adjustments will be given by the doctor, then anything else done during that visit will depend on the doctor’s recommendations. Stretching, exercise instruction, or other advice, may be given as part of the doctor’s plan for you. Questions are not only welcomed, they are encouraged. Knowledge is power.

We consistently update and customize your wellness programs. The foundation for our overall health is based on proper spinal alignment, nutritious foods, regular exercise, high quality supplementation and a variety of stress relief techniques.

I have been seeing Dr. Gauthier (for back pain) since I started Medicare about a year ago. Though I'd been to various chiropractors over the last few years (and a orthopedic doctor who indicated spinal stenosis), I'd pretty much resigned myself to just managing my back pain (always moving between neck, upper back, lower back, shoulders, etc.) as an inevitable part of aging. Rarely would 2 weeks go by without reaching for the ice, ibuprofen, and/or various topical ointments. Dr Gauthier had me come in 3x/week for the first couple of months. At the time, I wondered if that was really necessary. But I stuck with it and now I go 2x/month. And I am genuinely surprised and really pleased that, for the first time in probably 10 years, I no longer have to live with that intermittent pain. Dr. Gauthier really seems to have an uncanny knack for tuning in to my body and applying a healing touch just where I need it. He always seems to know if and where I'm getting out of whack, even before I mention it. As a scientist, I'm not completely clear how it works, but it sure seems to work! On top of all that, the office is run so efficiently that I'm usually in and out of there in less than 10 minutes. Both Dr. Gauthiers are supportive and genuinely concerned about my health, and the office staff are great, too! Thanks!

You will never find a better or more friendly place then Gauthier Chiropractic! I promise! Dr.Doug and Dr. Anne-Laure are amazing kind people... You are not just a patient to them, you are a person that they truly care about!!! About 5 or 6 years ago my husband could barely walk and I was certain that he would soon be in a wheel chair... All the doctors just wanted to do surgery( which we were terrified to do) My brother told us about Gauthier so we went,a little nervous, but so glad that we did because in just a few weeks of treatment my husband was walking again!!!! Through this all I was very sad and scared and they did not dismiss me as if I were being ridiculous, they were kind and always reassuring to me that he will be OK and things will get better❤️ I now am one of their patients and will Never go anywhere else! They were and still are our saving Grace!!! So if you just want your bones cracked then go anywhere, but if you want someone who truly cares about you as a whole person, then Gauthier is where you need to be! You won't regret it I promise!!❣️💜 Tell them I sent you!

I needed to get my son in on a Friday. He couldn’t move his neck. The chiropractor we usually go to wasn’t open on Fridays! I live in Parkville googled chiropractor and they came up. AMAZING experience!!! They got him in at 9:30 on Friday and were exceptional! They did X-rays and all the same day so they knew exactly where to treat him! He felt better when we left and is returning on Monday. I am switching to this practice no Doubt!

I had severe pain in my lower back that came on suddenly. Could not sit, stand or lay down for more than 5 mins at a time. I called the closest chiropractor to me. Dr. Gauthier saw me that day within 45 mins. Got some X-rays and was immediately seen. He saw that I could go through with chiropractic help. He got right to work. I was able to sleep that night for the first time in 2 days! He saw me the next day and helped even more. He got me on a plan and for the first time in years I am experiencing less back pain, even though my job puts strain on my back! I have more movement! The girls up front or so kind and welcoming too! 10/10 for Gauthier!!!!

I have been a patient of the Gauthier’s since childhood and now I can share the experience with my kiddos. They have helped us so much over these 30 years and dare I say it’s been a life changer, I can’t imagine what shape I would be in without those visits. I highly recommend Gauthier chiropractic to anybody! Walking into their practice evokes a sense of ease and relaxation. We look toward to our weekly visits and so should you.

I started going to them back in 2002 when I was unable to walk more that 15 mins a couple times a day. Needless to say they worked wonders. This being said there was no question I was going to return to Gauthier Chiropractic when my back issues returned. The staff is friendly and make you feel very comfortable. Thank you all.

The staff is very frienly and professional. I never have to wait long to get my adjustment. Also I travel and occasionally need adjustments away from Kansas City, Dr. Gauthier prepared a card that gave any Chiropractor the information need to treat me on the road. Those Chiropractors were impressed with the card and said it was very helpful and assisted them in adjusting me. I highly recommend Gauthier Chiropractic.

I waited 6 months after my visit to ensure I was leaving a fair review and I must insist on warning people about this doctor. Summary: He will try to tell you that you need to come back on a regular basis, when in fact you do not. He will say results will be better if you go for “24 visits”, but this must be driven by money as I got a second opinion who said I only needed one visit, and I’ve had zero pain since. Details: Last November (6 months ago), I had lower back pain after running a 5K. It was extreme and didn’t go away after a few days. So I made an appointment here, I believe the first of the day. The front staff was very nice and greeted me by name. I waited in the examination room for an hour before one of the staff did some xrays and basics. Then I waited another 30 minutes for the doctor to see me, who used electricity to loosen up the muscles and told me to come back to the next day. The next day was quick (another $30 copay), I waited in the queue of others coming in for their daily fix and he adjusted my back. The pain went away. He then told me I need to come back for 24 more visits to ensure the pain stays away. This seemed off to me as I’ve been to other chiropractors and had been treated in one or two visits. I have a good friend who is in St. Louis who is a chiropractor so I called him and he said you just strained some back muscles, rest a week and if you have no pain you should be good. I waited a week and no pain. 6 months later no pain. So why did I need to come back for 24 more visits? ($700+ of copays). I didn’t. But after sitting there for both days, I saw handfuls of the same people come in for their daily adjustment - many who probably got told they should come daily but really don’t need to. The sad part is too, the doctor spends so much time with his daily goers that he doesn’t have time to visit a new patient and actually examine the problem. I would NOT recommend going here. And if you do, and he says you should come back, visit another doctor for another opinion. And on top of all of this, they send very frequent texts saying hey we miss you, come get an adjustment. They don’t care if you need one, they just want your money. Stay away. Two stars because the pain did go away. Otherwise it would be 1.
