My late father was a chiropractor and when my husband and I moved to Hillsborough it took us a long time to find a chiropractor we liked. Dr. Gaertner adjusts most like my Dad—a very good, thorough manual adjustment. I also am a veterinarian and an animal chiropractor and when my clients ask me who I would recommend for a human chiropractor, I do not hesitate to refer them to Gaertner.

I've been to 6 different chiropractors throughout the country, and I can honestly say that Chas is the best. His patient-centered, holistic approach to chiropractic is effective and thorough. One of the things that I like best about Dr. Chas's practice is that there is no "medical theatre" —hierarchies of staff/medical assistants/doctor, staff wearing scrubs, a process of bureaucratic paperwork and waiting in various ante-chambers before seeing the doctor, mandatory x-rays—all things that I have encountered at other chiropractic practices. Chas is very direct and accessible, and he really respects his patients and wants us to understand what he is doing and why it is beneficial. For patients who are afraid of costs, people should know that Chas's charge for an adjustment is THE SAME as a co-pay for an in-network visit to a specialist (if you have Blue Cross/Blue Shield through UNC). He is affordable, and his charges are completely reasonable.

Recently, when I was living in a commuter relationship and making a list of the "top reasons" to come back to Chapel Hill and Carrboro, Chas's practice was one of the top 3 reasons! Not only is a visit to Chas's office good for your back and your spine, he can give you lots of useful tips on the art and culture of living in Carrboro! He is a valuable asset to everyday living in Carrboro and Chapel Hill.

I've been to many chiropractors and Chas is, by far, the best. Whenever I feel a migraine coming on, I go to Dr. Chas and it goes away!

Dr. Gaertner has been a superb practitioner. His integration of deep tissue massage with skilled chiropractic adjustments makes staying in perfect spinal alignment a breeze to me.

Dr. Chas originally helped me through allergies years ago. The adjustments are the only thing that can open my chest to breathe. Since then he treated me through two pregnancies and is now teaching my children about proper posture.

Working with Dr. Gaertner has been integral to my own self-care. His sensitivity and accuracy are keys to my continued well-being.

I always recommend Chas to people in need of chiropractic. I trust his integrity and genuine caring for people. And besides, Chas is just a fun guy.

Dr. Gaertner is a great adjuster. He always 'gets it' and it feels great!
