Cascade Area, Grand Rapids, MI · Serving West Michigan Since 2012
Three Doctors, One Roof
Documented care since 2012.
The Chiropractic Doctors has served Grand Rapids and the Cascade area from 28th Street SE since 2012. Dr. Matthew Phinney, a Palmer College of Chiropractic graduate who finished at the top of his class, leads a team that now includes Dr. Drew Bailey and Dr. Alec Papes, backed by three office managers who greet most patients by name.
The practice works out of a newly renovated 2,000 square foot facility with in-house digital x-ray, so your exam, imaging, and care plan all happen under one roof. And because there are three doctors instead of one, appointments are easier to get, usually within the same week.
