I’ve been to many chiropractors over the years and Dr Ratzow is clearly the best. He takes time to assess the issues you’re having and then helps to correct them. I’ve walked in with pain and then out without it. He is caring Dr that will be very careful and gentle as back/spine manipulation can be very intimidating. I would highly recommend booking an appointment.

I happened to find out about Dr Bob when in a massage school with his son Kip a fellow student at the time. He mentioned his dad was a chiropractor who knows Craniosacral which is my passion and we were fairly new to Portland at the time (2004) so I began going and found out he has such a caring and deeply calming demeanor that I brought my whole family and many many of my massage and Craniosacral / polarity therapy clients over the past 15 years. Dr Bob is very present and skilled. He has worked on the entire Portland Ballet Troupe every Thursday for decades keeping these dancers in healthy maintenance and injury-prevention and reduction. That’s just plain good street cred. For me, knowing he was invited to Sundance—a Native American spiritual event that it’s a high honor for a white guy to be invited to—involving four days in the wilderness with no food or drink for example was super special about him. He is not one of these chiropractors who try to get a gazillion xrays and sign you up for a prepaid year of adjustments. Nope. He is a problem solver. And most people can see him once or twice and get back on track. He doesn’t try to book you again at all. So low key I really appreciate that and knowing when I refer people he is sincere and would never manipulate anyone. (I experienced the opposite at times with other DCs so I know how important this is.) A lot of people just live with a back or neck that is out of alignment because they don’t know that help is out there. I don’t blame them for not trying a Chiropractor because not all chiropractors are created equal like any other profession right? So this review is to say you will be in Good hands. If something has been out of place for along time you may need tune ups and follow ups and he might even show you a few stretches. (He prevented my son from developing scoliosis like that.) I rarely even need to see him because he is so good. Recently I overdid it in some land spiritual clearing I took on although it went extremely well! Dr Bob tailors his approach individually too and takes most insurance and will Bill them for you. He assisted my back in a holistic wise way and with a shamanistic element for my back recently and while not everyone will recognize this I happen to know it is powerful and felt a body, mind, spirit guidance within a few moments of the treatment. And again this is all done with Dr Bob Ratzow’s customary modesty and understated manner that is so supportive and caring of everyone who walks in his office.
