I was having some significant back pain and tightness from long hours working at home in an office chair, so I went to see Corey at SEMI. He carefully diagnosed the issue, and began treatment using a combination of both Physio and Chiro techniques. After 5 sessions as well as some daily home stretches/exercises that he gave me, my back has recovered enough to start skiing again. I am so happy to be active again ! Thank you very much, Corey !

I visited Dr. Stoddard after seeing about 10 other professionals including sports doctors and physiotherapists to address my chronic knee pain. The office was very professional and welcoming, Dr. Stoddard arrived at a different diagnosis and set me up to see Timothy Lee his head physiotherapist. Tim is excellent. I have seen many physiotherapists over the years. He is in my view the best -- extremely knowledgeable, highly educated / specialized and what I like he explained clearly a 8-12 week roadmap ahead. After ~3 weeks I am almost pain free - first time in over 8 months. Highly recommend

Friendly rept. Very responsive, polite, and understanding.
Dr. Corey Hofkirchner is very professional. Not only he examined my injury with professional manner and patience, but also he taught me how to exercise to speed up the healing.
He is very modest, honest, down-to-earth, and very professional.
If not because of my personal financial reason, I would continue learning from him and have him to teach me more practical and simple workout.

I was looking for a physiotherapist to help treat shoulder and back pain, and Semi recommended their chiropractor. I saw Dr. Corey Hofkirchner and he was extremely knowledgeable. He is very professional and provided a good mix between hands-on treatment and supplying exercises for me to continue on my own.

I had a great experience with Dr. Corey Hofkirchner. He is an extraordinary chiropractor. I can't even fully describe how happy I am!
When I met Corey , I was in a terrible muscle spasm and couldn’t wait to be seen. He was able to help me . After my 2 treatments by Dr. Corey the muscle had released 90%. Corey made me feel comfortable and did a great job explaining the treatment. I was given instructions, he worked through exercises with me, worked on its range of motion, stretched it and coached me of how to do strengthening at home.
Now I feel that I recovered completely and back to biking

I had a shoulder dislocation injury I want to SEMI for, the physiotherapist was very helpful and my range of motion was developing.
However, the doctor I was referred to was arrogant and useless. He spent 30 seconds looking at my shoulder and said I required surgery. I have continued using the physio exercises and have not had a shoulder issue since. Surgery should not be recommended so lightly, especially for a sports rehab center.
