I have had the best chiropractic experience ever, thanks to Dr. Hildebrand. He is extremely thorough and a great listener, showing patience and allowing me time to ask numerous questions about my body. Before creating a treatment plan, he took X-rays to get a complete picture of my spine. The staff is friendly, booking is fast, and they are professional, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Dr. Hildebrand, giving him the highest possible endorsement.

I have been seeing Dr Hildebrand for the past 3-4 weeks as I have had terrible back and neck pain. He is an excellent chiropractor and has really has done a great job at helping me regain flexibility in my back and get movement going as well as lessen all the pain I had. He had recommended that I come in for a treatment plan for 3 times a week for 8 weeks and I have seen huge improvement! I highly recommend him! He is committed to his patients and wants them to do well! :

Went to my first ever chiropractor yesterday, at the age of 53. Due to an upper back/shoulder issue, I was barely functional and figured I'd give it a try. A reluctant try. I feel fortunate to have linked with Dr Hildebrand. He is professional, personable and has a magic touch: Not only was I able to sleep like a rock last night, I am able to function today! I even think that he may have corrected an older injury in the process. I admit, I should have tried this long ago.

As a patient who suffered from trouble swallowing (dysphagia) and consequently lost a lot of weight, I am happy to inform that Dr Russell has helped me solve my problems. The staff is very friendly and extremely professional, which means every single visit is a delightful experience. Highly recommend!

Called and initially got me in same day. Went through the full initial series of adjustments and what a difference! Typically in and out within 10-15 minutes max, super friendly service, and actually getting relief and results. Been seeing a chiropractor for 10 years and this has been my favorite. First place to treat my TMJ as well and what a difference. Highly recommend Dr Hildebrand

I found myself always asking my children to pick items up off the floor for me because it hurt my back to bend over. I thought that was just part of getting old and I'd have to deal with it for the rest of my life. Well I was almost completely pain free after the first visit and completely pain free after two. I have regular maintenance visits to keep the pain at bay. Dr. Hildebrand has greatly improved my standard of living.

Dr. Hildebrand is a friend; however, his expertise in not only chiropractic, but overall health improvement, is excellent. I would recommend him regardless of our friendship.

Having been a skeptic of Chiropractic for years, I am now a huge believer! I had the opportunity to get to know Dr. Hildebrand first playing volleyball together. For a number of years I would hear teammates talking about how he helped them. A year and a half ago after dealing with significant neck pain for several weeks thinking it would eventually go away, it didnt and I finally made an appointment.
I like to ask questions and understand what a doctor is doing and why. Russ loves to help patients understand what he is doing and what they can expect. I really appreciate his wholistic approach to healing the body and it has been amazing to learn how Chiropractic can be helpful in so many areas beyond just back pain. If you have something chronic, its worth reaching out to Dr Hildebrand to see if Chiropractic can help. Dr. Appointments typically take forever, but Hildebrand Chiropractic has a great system and keeps things very efficient for their patients and are amazingly flexible! Its the one Doctor I look forward to going to!!

I saw Dr. Hildebrand when I was pregnant in 2016 with my son. He was really great and his services helped to ease my pregnancy pain, especially my hip pain. I started going back to see Dr. Hildebrand in 2019 due to severe headaches and neck pain. He saw me that day and it was so helpful! Dr. Hildebrand offers flexible scheduling which is great because my schedule changes constantly! I have tried other chiropractors, due to their closer proximity to my work.
I did not like either of those chiropractors nearly as much as Dr. Hildebrand. I am fine with a longer drive and more time off work during the day to go see Dr. Hildebrand because I know I am getting the best service possible. I really enjoy Dr. Hildebrand not only as a medical provider, but also as a person! He is really nice, funny, and informative! His business in general is very warm and welcoming!

My husband has suffered from back pain over the past few years, but it really started to get bad in the last couple months. He wasn't too sure about seeing a chiropractor, but after the family doctor seemed to be of little help, I decided to call Dr. Hildebrand to set up an appointment. My biggest concern was the cost of seeing a chiropractor, since we are on a super tight budget. But Dr. Hildebrand was extremely generous and worked with our budget.
My husband has only been treated twice, but his back is already feeling much better. If you are considering seeing a chiropractor, I would definitely set up a consultation with Dr. Hildebrand-- it's free and if you decide it's not for you than there is no obligation, but I am very thankful to Dr. Hildebrand and I would recommend him to anybody!

I really like this Chiropractor. Dr. Hildebrand is very nice, takes Xrays and explains what he thinks is going on and how he will treat you. They always make time for their patients and are very flexible with scheduling. They also have this platform that you lay on that rolls a bar up and down your back, it is so relaxing. He also makes payment plans and works with your insurance. This is a great place to get adjusted!

Our daughter failed a hearing test during her 4 year old physical. We were told that her ear drum was not moving due to fluid behind the ear. The ear Dr. wanted to see her back in 3 weeks and if she didn't show improvement, they were going to recommend tubes(for the 2nd time). She's already had tubes once. I took her to Dr. Hildebrand and after 2.5 weeks of adjustments - 4 total, her ear drum was working as it should and the fluid was gone. Thank you!

Dr. Hildebrand is great and patient. It is a children friendly place. I had a lot of lower back, neck, and jaw pain. Now, I don't have constant pain anymore. I'm feeling so much better.

After overworking my wrist for a few years I naively diagnosed myself with Carpal Tunnel. Then one day I met Dr. Hildebrand and after 5 seconds he knew exactly what was going on. It turns out I had Golfer's Elbow and over the course of 2 weeks I felt 90% better. Unfortunately I was moving out of the state before we could complete our visits. But I would highly recommend him to anyone suffering from any type of joint pain. I would certainly still be seeing him if I still lived in State College.
