Great doctor! I stop by whenever I have neck and back pain and leave my pain behind. He is the only doctor that has figured out what type of adjustment I need. You can drop in and get through quickly. I have been going almost 30 years to Dr. Cate and hands down recommend him!

I Am Now A Believer of Chiropractic Care! Today, I had the most incredible first visit of my entire life for chiropractic care, and I can confidently say it was life-changing! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by Dr. Cate's friendly staff. Dr. Thomas E. Cate was not only highly skilled but also incredibly kind and attentive. First, during the session, Dr. Cate took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly assessed my condition before explaining the treatment plan in a clear and understandable way. I felt comfortable and well-informed throughout the entire process. Second, the adjustment itself was gentle yet effective, and I experienced immediate relief from the chronic pain I had been dealing with for years. Further, Dr. Cate's expertise and precision were truly remarkable. In the end, after just one session, I felt like a whole new person – rejuvenated, aligned, and ready to take on the world! I can't recommend Dr. Thomas E. Cate enough! If you're looking for top-notch care in a welcoming environment, this is the place to be. Five stars all the way! I will be back weekly! Simply thank you Doc and staff for helping me to continue living my best life! 💗

I really did like going to Dr. Cates and Staff, however I feel like others should be aware of what I experienced. The care I received was above par, however I felt like I was unfairly hit with unexpected up-charges without any explanation of the additional cost per visit for the electrical stimulation machine, until well after the fact adding a few hundred to my bill. Furthermore, I was clearly told upfront that regardless of what Insurance paid, the maximum per visit would be $45.00. With that in mind, I paid in advance a portion of what I anticipated would carry me a number of visits only to find out later that my visits (after Insurance) were nearly DOUBLE what I was told. They were generous enough to issue a credit of $100 which I appreciate, but I still feel like it was still unfair as this added a considerable amount to my bill.
