Kirkland Spine & Posture Center

I went to this office under the pretense that we were attending a chiropractic appointment. Had been put off for two weeks since the office was «so busy.» On arriving found out they had just tucked us in to a large group meeting where Love guru wanted to present his material in a group setting. Completely unprofessional. Had brought my disabled child and was completely disgusted as never seen a supposed «doctor» act this way.
He is always on the radio for one gimmik or another and wants his money up front before services. Just looking for a big payday. Should have his license taken.
Further, his response below is a good example of the self delusion. Takes no responsibility. And perceives himself as a competent Chiropractor. His «average» is two star out of five. He has a few more recent, positive reviews. How those came to be we can only imagine.

I have been going to Dr. Love since 2001!!! I know! :-). Dr. Love had brought me back to health time and time again. Always has a smile on his face! The staff that work for Dr. Love are great as well. Demi is REMARKABLE! I just met Amanda but she has a warm welcome smile! Dr. Love is great at what he does… gets you back healthy and on your feet again! SERIOUSLY! Even though his office has moved in the 14 years I’ve been seeing Dr. Love, I always went to him for an awesome adjustment! Dr. Love has great health information! He helps you get back on your feet again! He is great with his patients and goes beyond to help each of his patients. So you have an ailing back go see Dr. Love! You have concerns about health go see Dr. Love! If you need a simple smile go see Dr. Love and his Awesome staff! Thank you Dr. Love! Every time I get an adjustment I feel like a new person ready to take on the day! So please see Dr. Love for that back pain, question about health or pop in to just say hello! Remember that Laurence told you so! :-)

Saw his weight loss segment on TV. Office staff wouldn’t elaborate about the program on the phone. Drove an 1.5 hour for my ½ hour appointment. When I arrived I was put into a room to watch a short dvd. Doctor popped in and spent less than 5 mins with me. I had several questions but he kept leaving to service his chiropractic clients. Never did get them answered and he said I needed to decide about purchasing before leaving. I invested well over a thousand dollars only to be handed a folder with instructions and product. As far as the program, I found another doctor in a different area who charged a fraction of what he charged. Well overpriced, poor customer service, and only seems interested in taking your money. I would look elsewhere.

Let me start by saying… ANY diet and or exercise program that one stays with, which in turn sustains the discipline to make it part ones life regiment… you will see results.
I had caught wind of this offer, both on radio and TV commercials, so I made the appointment to see what it was all about. That being said, this program begins with a 10 minute video presentation, follow up with a conversation with Dr. Love that covers the costs of supplements and optional light sessions. Combined it will run $ 3000K, and if you sign up today, you could save 10% or so. Supplements consists of some creams, protein powder, and 3 bottles that are used at certain intervals in the 30 days. These run half the cost of the program… about $ 1500 and I’m guessing the equivalent can be found online or through your supplement retailer for under $ 200. You’re also given a list of approved foods and some blank tracking sheets to document your progress… and you’re on your way. Dr. Love offers to answer any questions you may have throughout the program, there is no Dr. supervised oversight, it’s really DIY.
The first 7 days is the cleanse, drinks for breakfast, lunch and a small meal for dinner, I’m guessing at maybe 700 calories. Day 8 — 30, you have 3 small meals per day, along with your supplements and creams. Meals are simple, equal amounts (4 oz) of lean meat, vegetables and fruit. A snack is allowed for those tough days, ¼ cup of almonds and or fruit. No fats, carbs, oils, or sugar.
In my opinion, the diet alone will produce noticeable weight loss as you’re likely changing ones eating habits significantly… of which I was. The real key to eating is to eliminate the bad and introduce the good, 90% of the time…(you still need to live and have fun).
For me, the light sessions seemed insignificant to the overall weight loss. I did lose weight, I feel much better and achieved my personal goal… which was to modify my lifestyle and discipline. For me it was more about accountability… and what I mean by this is… by writing that kind of check, I became committed to stick to the program «to the letter» for the 30 days… which I did… and continue to do so. I had struggled with my own failed attempts for the past 2 years in getting off the «schnibe».
At the end of the 30 days Dr. Love asked how I felt and introduces some offers to extend the program, the same supplement package was now around $ 500…but I didn’t have the interest to continue. I thanked him, did a 30 second testimonial he asked for, that he took with his smartphone and went on my way. I began the program on Sept 14 and by Oct 14, I had lost 15lbs, and have continued to lose weight each week.
Will this program produce results for you if followed? Highly likely.
Is it expensive? Relatively so, Yes, for what you get.
As I said in my opening statement, any program will work it you commit and become disciplined and change your behavior/lifestyle…so find the right program for you. For me, I went in with eyes wide opened and got what I wanted. Could I have done this… and for less… very likely… except my track record of the previous 12 months proved otherwise. I needed the kick start. I gave this 2 stars, more on the merit of $$$ value.

I have been trying to get my X-​rays from this place for over a month now. I decided to not get treatment here because I wasn’t comfortable so I found someone else. However my X-​rays were done here and now all of a sudden they can’t «find them». I really find it difficult communicating with the receptionists here because they come off as rude and only interested in people’s money. I asked for some advice on what I could do at home in the mean time, their answer «get an adjustment» JUST GIVE ME MY X-​RAYS PLEASE

I was intrigued by Dr. Love’s TV and radio commercials and was also contemplating chiropractic services, but was leery of contacting Dr. Love’s office once I saw so many negative reviews on Unilocal.I happened to recognize two of Dr. Love’s patients from his TV commercial in the Kirkland Safeway, so approached them to see if they were willing to vouch for Dr. Love in person. They assured me that they weren’t actors and were genuinely pleased with Dr. Love’s services, so I decided to make an appointment.
I called on a Tuesday about 3:00 pm and the person who answered the phone said, «Sorry, the person who schedules appointments leaves the office at 1:00 on Fridays.» This was confusing information, since this was a Tuesday. I said, «You do know this is Tuesday, right?» She said, «Ha ha, oh, did I say some other day?» I said, «Yes, you said Friday.» She said, «Oh, I must be anxious for the weekend. Ha ha.» She then took my name and number and assured me that the scheduler would call me the next day. Not too surprisingly, I never heard back. I went back to Unilocal,and called a 5-​star rated chiropractor and got immediate assistance.
Dr. Love may be a fine chiropractor, but I guess I will never find out, since I wasn’t able to get past his incompetent front office staff. Oh well.

I went to dr love for chiropractic help, it cost me 1900 dollars to be adjusted with no privacy, he would be talking to other patients while I was paying for my time, when I remarked about how I didn’t like it he just said he likes the comradery. If I hadn’t pre paid the money I would have walked out. He also lost my current xrays and I never another word about it again. He already had my insursnce money and my paymemt. Personally I would look for another dr. Not professional at all!!!

All I can say is that for once, i did some research as in looking up reviews prior to an appointment. You are put in a room to watch a 10 – 15 minute video by yourself. when it’s over, the doctor comes in and basically just gives you a recap of what you just watched. then you get to see the cost. Quite spendy in my opinion but of course you are offered the menial discount if you sign up/​pay that day. I do have to say that this whole «red light» machine that just melts your fat away seems a little far fetched… but hey. to each their own. I decided to sign up for the weight loss portion of plan only. a 30 day supply of drops, powders and creams. I wrote out my check and then decided. hey. i want to see with my eyes what I’m handing over $ 1527.00 (that was the pay today discounted price). The gals at the front desk who were waiting to take my check, really didn’t know what to do when i said that I wanted to see this stuff first before handing over my check. and what is this list of foods you’re allowed to eat on the diet that he talked about. i want to see that as well. The one gal told the other gal to get the doctor. he came back with a small cardboard box with what looked like at a quick glance, 5 – 6 items in it. He said this is what you get. I asked about the food list. he showed me. it’s basically, lean meats, vegetables and i can’t remember if fruits were on the list or not. i asked what else was allowed, oil & vinegar. No fats of any kind allowed. AND you are allowed one piece of gluten free bread a day. Ok… not for me. I figured if one was to eat only the food that is allowed on the diet. you would lose weight anyway without the drops, creams and powders. I’m not a big believer in miracle creams either. He was nice enough i guess. seemed a bit put off and rushed when i asked to see the products and food list BEFORE handing over my check. The gals at the front desk were very friendly and kind. but the whole experience in my opinion did not seem very professional… gave me the feeling of yet another expensive hope and dream for people who are desperately seeking a solution to a weight loss program that is sustainable. Needless to say. i kept my check. thanked him for his time and left. so very glad that money is still mine. you make up your own mind.

I have waited a period of time to add to my reveiw. I wanted to make sure that my feelings were not clouding the facts.
After my first review, I was contacted by Dr Love, first by email and second by phone followed by two other emails regarding this review.
His premise for communication has been to get me to remove my review from Unilocal.I found it to be not only harassing but bordered on the line of stalking. I took the time to think about the program and the problems I had with it
1– There was no disclosure of ingredients or safety of product amid or services. Word of a health professional is not good enouh for me. I need facts before ingesting ingredients, natural or not! All medicine was formulated from natural ingredients and I need proof that it would not interfere with anything that I or another patient would be taking via a MD.
2– I wish I would have saved the cost of the program via a copy that I obtained. My previous numbers are correct, and that is one other reason I will not remove my review. The Dr, claimed its in line with other weight loss systems in costs, I beg the differ because I have wasted a large amount of money in search of the perfect solution for my weight loss needs.
I am a Nurse, and I believe I do understand professionalism. In my view, if this Chiroprpractor behaved like he did towards me, I wonder how he is with others who do not understand the medical industry. I am quite angry and have asked him to not contact me further.
I stand by my review, and warn future patients to enter his practice carefully and be prepared to ask all questions that would impact their health goals.
I would also point out that there is nothing to discover online as they wont give you the name of his program to research if this is the best thing for you!
Again I will warn Dr Love to not respond further on my review. It is my right to speak how my experiences were. Unilocal should really monitor his responses as it interferes with my right to free speech.

The supposed weight loss program is just a pre packaged plan that «Dr» Love had ZERO to do with other than to be a distributor– a bad version of Amway. He offers NO personal health evaluation– much more concerned with the payment method. Plan is in no way shape or form intended for anyone who does any exercise. Wish I would have Unilocaled before I went there and got duped. He claims rapid email response but when I sent him an email questioning the water weight loss of the plan– NO answer. Whatever you do AVOID this place. You will be much better served by speaking to a medical doctor and a dietician– if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is– this is a perfect example.
As for the chiropractic– only had 2 adjustments before the doc had a «treatment plan» that of course went well beyond insurance but he had a payment plan all figured out… felt like another scam so I got out of there.

I have lost 14.5 pounds in less than 4 weeks even with the holiday season and out of state visitors going out to eat to restaurants every weekend. Going to go for round two

For years since my back injury I’ve had sleepless, uncomfortable nights. I’d keep my better half awake as well from all the tossing and turning. I made a visit to Dr Love off a referral and all I can say is WOW! I was quickly able to not only sleep more comfortably as well as improvement in the simple things like turning around to drive in reverse, picking up my toddler, sitting at my desk, etc. I’d highly recommend a visit to Dr Love’s office!

The weight loss program is a total non-​loss. Very expensive and not at all possible to lose as advertised. I followed the program exactly with a total loss of 5 lbs. A total rip-​off to charge over $ 1,300 with no guarantee whatsoever!!! Do not be fooled like I was.

I’ve been going to Dr. Love for about four years now, since he had his old office down by the Kirkland waterfront.
All I can say is, the results speak for themselves.
I was at first a bit taken aback by how many adjustments Dr. Love recommended in the first couple of months, but I was impressed with how upfront he was about what the cost would be. I trusted his judgment on what it would take to get my fairly significant neck and lower back problems under control, and I’m glad I did.
Within three months of regular (two to three times per week adjustments) plus some exercises at home, my neck and back posture were night and day better. And my pain was gone! My core is also stronger, and I noticed my bike riding and weight lifting improved as my posture, balance, and core strength got better.
Dr. Love was very flexible from there on out on how often I see him — he recommended once per week but I told him I would rather do every other week, and he is fine with that. You own your wellness plan with Dr. Love, but he supports you in it.
The other thing that’s very nice about Dr. Love is that his office uses technology. They use a machine that sends a gentle electric pulse to each disc to test for tension, which indicates which areas of the back need adjustment and where problems might be. This allows Dr. Love to really focus on areas that need adjustment.
I also found Dr. Love to be very knowledgeable and willing to answer even fairly random questions about back pain or health care or chiropractic care that I have asked him. Lastly, while his small staff has turned over pretty rapidly over the years, they have always been helpful, courteous, and professional. Best of all, they are completely flexible when I have to reschedule at the last minute — lots of office would nickel and dime you with a fee, but these guys don’t, which shows that they really do appreciate their patients.
Dr. Love has been honored as one of the top doctors and chiros in western Washington, and there’s a reason why. I recommend Dr. Love — you won’t find a better chiro.
