Downtown Core Chiropractic Centre

I've occasionally seen another chiropractor when I'm out of town, but am always glad to get back to seeing Dr. Mertins when I'm home. I always feel better after being treated--typically for my lower back. She has good exercises for me to do, and a great team around her. Speaking of my back... I'll be back.

Dr Mertins is passionate about helping people and is incredibly knowledgeable. She has helped me through a wide range of sports injuries while continually giving me exercises to keep healthy and strong.

I have been happily going to this clinic for 4 years now and have referred many of my colleagues to this office as well. I have been treated by all three of the chiropractors here (Dr. Roberta Da Re, Dr. Darcie Sinclair, and Dr. Doris Mertins) and they are all equally fantastic.Their location is very convenient for me and they normally run on schedule, which I like since I often go see them on my breaks.Along with chiropractic adjustments they use a variety of techniques including stretches, soft tissue, Kinesio Tape, acupuncture, etc. depending on what my problem calls for. They also give exercises to correct my weak areas and prevent the problem from returning. So far they have always managed to resolve whatever issues I have come to them with including low back pain, neck pain, shoulder and knee pain. They are very professional, caring and truly invested in getting me better quickly. I feel great when I leave and I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else.

I consider myself a very lucky person for finding the chiropractors at Downtown Core. I mostly have Dr Darcie Sinclair for my treatments, and know she really has my back!! (small joke there) I have several ongoing issues and have great confidence in her treatments. She is very compassionate, always checks in to make sure I am comfortable with the treatment she is using, and I would not have the same degree of comfort in my daily life were it not for her. She's the best!

Dr. Mertins is wonderful to deal with. Very knowledgeable and personable. The location in the PATH is super convenient since I work downtown.

Dr. Roberta Da Re has outstanding skills and talent in the chiropractic space.I have made a number of appointments for various adjustments requirements and injuries from neck , back and feet and the results have always exceeded my expectations.Been regular for a number of years and she is right to the point with effective fixes. Also she won’t bring you for a re-visit if she doesn’t see a value.I wanted to take few minutes to post a review of my experience.Hopefully my review will be beneficial for some people out there.

Wouldn't go anywhere else to see a chiropractor! I love the location - they are located in the PATH, which is very convenient. All three chiropractors (Dr. Da Re, Dr. Sinclair and Dr. Mertins) are truly professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. Their office is always prompt to answer phone calls, emails, or return voicemails, and it is always clean, organized and friendly.I had never tried acupuncture before coming here but Dr. Mertins eased my worries beforehand and it went really well. I am now a fan of acupuncture as well as chiropractic treatments!

No idea why the previous reviews have only 1 star but I've been coming here for years and have referred several friends here who have had only the best experience with this office. I first visited Dr. Mertins as I was looking for both chiropractic and acupuncture services and she ended up healing an issue I had in my elbow for about 6 years using a combination of accupuncture and ART. I ran into some scheduling conflicts with work so I popped in to see one of the other doctors, Dr. Da Rae who was also amazing! I ended up sending my husband to see her and she also fixed several issues he had been suffering from. We live in Ajax now and no longer work downtown but still make the trip down because of their great services. I've tried several chiropractors in the past and was so happy when I found this office as their services were superior.

I am so grateful to Dr. Roberta! I broke my wrist and had surgery to put in a metal plate. The very next day I knew something was wrong as I was feeling hard grinding and cracking in my wrist/forearm but 2 surgeons and an emergency doctor kept telling me that everything was fine, without being able to give me a clear answer as to what was causing the grinding. Two months of pain and physio trying to work past this and I thought of Dr. Roberta who I had seen years before for shoulder pain and remembered how knowledgeable and informative she was. She suggested that I get another Xray, which I did, and she even called the radiologist many times to discuss my issues. It turns out that one of the screws was protruding through one bone and grinding into another bone and I required another surgery! If it wasn't for Dr. Roberta, who knows how long I may have had to endure this and the long term damage it would have caused. I am still seeing her regularly for shoulder problems from overcompensating for my arm but it is getting better and after my second surgery I am able to move my wrist so much better! I highly recommend Dr. Roberta for any pain issues that you are dealing with, she really cares about helping people feel their best.

I found Dr Doris after being diagnosed with a sciatca nerve issue (after surgery). My doctor said it would never go away and provided pain medication. I had never suffered any type of pain and reached out to a number of colleagues, 3 who provided me with Dr. Doris's name.After 6 acupuncture visits, I was completely pain free. I smile when I say I felt like an old car going in once every 3 months for a 'tune up'.Fast forward 5 years and I was back for shingle pain. Dr. Doris was incredible, and I definitely have her to thank since my body responds well to acupuncture. Seeing her was the only time I was feeling relief from the shingles pain I was experiencing. I will forever be indebted to her as I had truly never felt this kind of nerve pain in my life.I would recommend acupuncture to anyone. Overall, acupuncture treatments have helped me minimize chronic inflammatory symptoms by calming down the affected area. In return, this has allowed me to exercise more readily and live a pain free life.
