After a hard mountain bike crash, my body was not the same. I had lots of pain and nothing was helping. Dr Tim came up with a plan and soon after I was back up and hitting single track with no issues. I highly recommend going to see him. He is knowledgeable and genuinely cares.

I was referred to Dr. Tim by my neighbor a few months ago, and boy am I glad I started seeing him. I'm finally starting to feel relief after years of physical and massage therapy that only go so far. Highly recommend!

I would get migraines on an almost weekly basis which I thought was just related to stress. After a few month of seeing Dr. Tim to help with some neck/shoulder pain (which I've felt tremendous improvement from) I realized that I wasn't getting those migraines anymore. It's been a major life improvement. I couldn't recommend him more.

Dr. Tim is the most thorough and caring chiropractor I’ve ever met. Hands down, he helped me regain my life back and I can’t thank him enough for that. He knew what was wrong with me before advanced imaging results on my cervical spine and pretty much predicted how things would go. I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thanks Dr. Tim:)

Dr. Tim and Kate are everything you would want in a provider. Both are extremely knowledgeable in their fields while being some of the most friendly and kind people you can meet. I received treatment from both Dr. Tim and Kate after I got in a car accident as well as for an athletic injury. In both situations they got me to a better place than I was pre accident/injury.

Dr. Tim is fantastic. He is by far, the best chiropractor I’ve seen. I’ve had pain for over 10 years and in just a few sessions my pain went away! He is always enjoyable to be around and I look forward to my appointments.

After several years of injuries I thought my soccer days were behind me. I signed up with Dr. Saruk, and after a few adjustments and daily stretching I have loads more mobility and the confidence to get out there running and kicking again. Thank you A Body In Motion for giving me my mobility back!

Dr. Tim has been a tremendous help with my muscle and mobility issues. His logical and comprehensive approach to evaluating my back pain has led to serious improvements in my alignment, posture, and overall wellness, and has allowed me to return to my workouts pain free. After diagnosing my problem, he created a straightforward treatment plan so I knew what to expect, helping me identify tangible milestones so I could track my recovery progress. I highly recommend Dr. Tim to anyone who has a sports injury or complains of lingering pain. Chances are good that he'll be able to help.

The massages and adjustments I've gotten here are a level beyond any previous experiences I've had with chiropractors and massage therapists. After just a few adjustments with Dr. Tim my mobility and performance in the gym had pretty substantial improvements. And after a few sessions with Kate I found that her intuitive and skilled technique were starting to help heal a tendonitis issue I've had for over a decade. I can't recommend them enough.

I have been coming to Dr. Tim and Kate for several years now and they are fabulous. I can't recommend them enough! Kate is an amazing massage therapist. I always feel so much better after seeing her. She knows how to zero in on problem areas and get them to mellow out. She's also the nicest person ever! Dr. Tim is amazing as well! He is thorough, and kind and knows his stuff. I originally started coming to him because of severe back pain I had been dealing with for over a year. He figured out that it was muscular, as well as my back. He gave me exercises and adjustments and before long I was as good as new. I'm so grateful for both Kate and Dr. Tim. They are both true gems!

I came across Dr. Tim in a google search as I was looking for a new chiropractor close to my office (my old chiropractor had moved too far away from me). I had tried a ‘franchised’ chiropractor in between this and knew that was not going to work out. I really liked my prior doctor, so I came into his office thinking as long as he wasn’t as bad as my last experience I’d be happy. I ended up being so pleasantly surprised. You can tell Dr. Tim genuinely cares about how you’re feeling and isn’t just looking to do a quick fix or adjustment. He spends the time to make sure everything looks right and suggests exercises to help your long term well-being. I prefer working with people, especially when it comes to my health, that know who I am and I’m not just another unknown patient or last name to them. You will absolutely find that with Dr. Tim and I highly recommend his services!

I have been a patient of DR. Tim for about 2 months having been recommended to him by a friend of mine who was completely correct when he said "he is very good and genuine". DR. Tim is that and more, a great sense of humor, which I need to be around, but has helped my lower back and shoulders immensely; I would recommend him as your Chiropractor anytime, also a fine family man.

Dr Tim has been the best for my chronic headaches. Often other adjustments were too rough and made me nauseous or made the headaches worse. Dr Tim’s gentle, targeted approach has made a huge difference. He has also been very helpful with the knee and lower back pain that resulted from a ski accident I had a few years ago. I’ve been skeptical in the past of what chiropractics could really do for me. Dr. Tim changed my mind.

I have known Dr. Tim for several years now and have seen him as a patient for most of that time. He always listens well and has the highest professional standards. He has worked on a number of problem areas but my biggest problem has always been posture. He reminded me for a year to get a standing desk, then when it came he saw it sitting on my office floor for another six months (we work near each other). One day he walked in and set it up for me! Thanks, Dr. Tim!

I am a physical therapist who has both been a patient of Dr. Tim's and co-treated several patients together. He is both a wonderful clinician and a great person in general. I would not hesitate for a second to send my patients to him for chiropractic care. Highly recommend!

— Ellen K

Dr. Tim is the best! He is passionate about his work and it shines through in every appointment I've had with him. I appreciate his patience and the extra time he takes to ask me about my day. Initially, I was nervous about the adjustments and how they would feel, but now I can't wait for my weekly appointments!

— Heather S

I am now in less pain and have the tools and exercises I need to continue to get stronger. I look forward to our appointments because I always walk away feeling 100% better.

Dr Tim is simply amazing. He helped me get through a persistent lower back issue that I was struggling with for three years. Great personal service (calling after a treatment to see how I was feeling) as well as professional care!

— Larry T

Dr. Tim came highly recommended when I started seeing him because a rib had popped out. He worked with me to fix that, gave me exercises to strengthen and prevent it from happening again, and now works with me to prevent injury in a full contact sport.

— Lily H

Dr. Tim is warm, personable and knowledgeable. He's helped me through a number of physical limitations and has guided me to better health. When I first saw him, I was lucky to do yoga once a week and now I'm going four plus times a week!

— Marisol C

Tim does an incredible job of meeting me where I am and helping me define exercises and stretches that I can implement on my own. I highly recommend him.

— Rachel C

— Ruth B

Dr. Tim does more than adjustments, but also helps you to understand how your movement habits may be causing an injury, and then gives you exercises to learn how to move more efficiently.

— Sonya B

After my first visit the pain was 50% reduced. Each visit I was increasingly improved. Tim is sincere and professional and incorporates physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around bones to prevent further injury.

— Tia K

Before seeing Dr. Tim, I had chronic pain in the middle of my back. Not only did he reduce the pain, he also explained to me what had caused it and how to help keep it away.

— Val S

Kate is an amazing massage therapist. I always feel so much better after seeing her. She knows how to zero in on problem areas and get them to mellow out. She's also the nicest person ever!

— Wendy H

Dr. Tim takes the time to really listen to my concerns/goals and then creates plans tailored specifically to me. Personalized care, knowledgeable, friendly, thorough.
