I highly recommend Dr. Hoy of Confluence Chiropractic! He has a wonderful bedside manner. He listens to his patients and uses his vast knowledge to come up with a treatment plan that works for each person. My lower back and neck are feeling so much better because of his expertise and kind and caring nature. His office staff is very friendly, professional and accommodating. Again, I am very pleased to recommend Dr. Hoy and Confluence Chiropractic.

I went to see Dr. Hoy on a recommendation for sciatica pain down my right hip and leg that has been very painful for the last couple months. It has even affected my ability to walk my dogs. My regular doctor did X-rays and said everything looked fine. Dr. Hoy was able to stretch and loosen the muscles and then adjusted me and I walked out of the office pain free. He also taught me the best stretches to do in between visits. He was gentle and caring and definitely the best chiropractor I've ever been to. Highly recommended!

I recently had back surgery to relieve nerve pain caused by a herniated disc, and have been dealing with residual muscular tightness/pain. In my first visit to Confluence Chiropractic, Dr. Hoy took time and care to learn my medical history and provide the perfect combination of muscle work and decompression to get me back to feeling my best. Clean office, great staff, and a knowledgeable Doctor. I'll be back!

Dr. Nick Hoy is the most phenomenal doctor I've ever been to. I cannot sing his praises enough. I was dealing with lower back and hip pain that radiated down to my foot and he was alleviate it within 30 minutes. He took the time to read my chart and truly understand my condition. He also had same day availability when other places were quoting me weeks. He genuinely cares about his patients and their recovery.

Amazing Chiropractor! Very knowledgeable and educational. Dr. Nicholas Hoy has helped me immensely with some muscular issues I've been having. He's a younger practitioner but don't let that fool you, he knows his stuff. He takes the time out during procedures to educate me on how to help the situation and feeds you knowledge so you as a patient will be informed. I know alot of places can waste your time or just don't care, not here! He is very compassionate and has great patient etiquette while still having some good conversations and laughs making it more comfortable. Highly highly recommended!
