Dr. Marc at Ivy West is amazing! Not only is he a world class chiropractor but he’s also a genuine and caring person. The office has a great atmosphere and every visit is super welcoming. I can’t recommend Dr. Marc and his team enough!
Dr. Marc is an excellent chiropractor. His treatment was critical to my son’s wellness! He cares for his patients and their family as a unit - good health, strength, positivity and wellness for all. Dr. Marc’s commitment to his practice and his patients is both honourable and commendable.
I’ve seen 5 or 6 different chiropractors over the years. In various provinces and cities. Dr Mark at Ivy West truly stands out with a unique approach and pedigree. A consummate professional who has a genuine interest in his patients’ wellbeing (and in my case, recovery). Thorough, professional and knowledgeable. The kind of person you can trust as a healthcare partner - something I could not have said of any other chiropractor I’ve seen over the years.
I've been seeing Dr. Marc weekly for almost two years now. I picked Dr. Marc from all the chiros in the neighbourhood based on the letter he posted on the door when he first opened telling his story and his journey to becoming a chiropractor. Who I found was kind and caring practitioner (with a great sense of humour) who listens to his patients and offers a warm and inviting office. I first went in with nagging rotator cuff issues and through regular visits saw great improvement within the 3 mos we talked about when we set up my wellness plan. I continue to see Dr. Marc pretty much weekly ever since for maintenance and rarely get flare ups in my shoulder and we nip any other emerging issues before they become bigger issues. Highly recommend.
I can’t say enough good things about Ivy West Chiropractor Clinic and Dr. Mark Hagel. From the moment you walk in, he makes you feel welcome and at ease. The clinic is clean, modern, and has a very comfortable atmosphere.<br><br>Dr. Hagel is an outstanding chiropractor—professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. He takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly, and tailors treatments to exactly what you need. I noticed a huge improvement after just a few visits, and he’s also given me practical advice and exercises that help me feel better between appointments.<br><br>It’s rare to find someone who combines such expertise with compassion, but Dr. Hagel does just that. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who truly cares about your well-being, I highly recommend Ivy West Chiropractor Clinic and Dr. Mark Hagel!
This review is long overdue – in short Dr Marc is a great chiropractor who communicates really well and has been fantastic in helping me. This is in a big way, Dr Marc’s chiropractic skill, but for anyone considering their options – this is a very well run, efficient practice. You can schedule appointments in good time, you are seen on time and you really do feel Dr Marc is listening to you. I highly recommend.
I visited Dr Marc Hagel for neck and arm pain. From the moment I arrived I felt very welcomed. The personalized welcome sign was a very nice gesture. Dr Marc Hagel took the time to listen to my symptoms, explained what might be causing the discomfort, and thoroughly assessed my condition.<br><br>The adjustment was gentle but effective. I felt some immediate relief in my neck, and over the next day or two, the arm pain also started to ease. What stood out most was the personalized care and the genuine interest in helping me heal.<br><br>Highly recommend Dr Marc Hagel to anyone dealing with nerve or muscular pain. I feel hopeful for a full recovery thanks to their expertise.<br><br>Thank you
Dr. Marc Hagel made my teen son's initial appointment an amazing experience. Dr. Marc is very knowledgeable, thorough and compassionate. My son is looking forward to his future adjustments.
As someone who has experienced many chiropractic adjustments over the years, I can confidently say that Mark is exceptional. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to thoroughly understand the root cause of your issues before proceeding with treatment. I’ve been seeing him for a few weeks now, and the difference I feel in my body is remarkable. I highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a skilled and caring chiropractor.
It’s like going to a friend’s house and your friend happens to be a chiropractor. Dr. Marc is friendly and professional. He truly cares about his patients. I strongly recommend anyone who is looking for chiropractic services to check out Ivy West. Thank you!
Marc was very responsive, professional and took the time to evaluate my issue. I would recommend him to all friends and family who are looking for an honest chiropractor.
Dr. Hagel is knowledgeable, thorough, kind. If he weren't a chiropractor, he should have been a psychologist or a social worker - visiting him improves one's mood and psychological state, besides, of course, the main reason for the visit - fixing your spine - which Dr. Hagel is excellent at!
I can't recommend Dr. Marc enough! He is very thoughtful and knowledgeable. He always takes the time to listen to my concerns and, most importantly, finds time to see me immediately when I need it the most. This level of care is invaluable to me. Bonus: He also treats my 4-year-old, and she absolutely loves getting adjusted by him.<br><br>If you're looking for a chiropractor who truly puts patients first, look no further!
Dr. Marc is truly an amazing doctor. His knowledge as well as attention to patient care is incredible. I feel so safe and trusting of him providing chiropractic medicine for me.
Dr Marc is a very knowledgeable and passionate chiropractor who has worked wonders on my back following a sports injury. Would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a tune up!
Dr. Marc is a fantastic chiropractor. I started seeing Dr. Marc in January 2024 due to chronic migraines and off of work. Within a few months of seeing him, I was able to return to work and my migraines were under control.<br>My entire family sees Dr. Marc on a regular weekly basis now.<br>Thank you Dr. Marc!
My sciatica pain disappeared after a month of treatment, and huge improvement regarding headaches. Overall my range of motion and posture improved greatly. Thanks Mark!
As a former professional athlete and someone who has coached athletes for well over a decade, I feel very comfortable recommending Dr. Hagel. He has a special ability to connect with the patient through a combination of immense life experience, approachable communication, and passion for his craft. He’s clearly doing what he loves and that gets reflected in the quality of his work. I always feel better after leaving the clinic!
Dr. Marc has done wonders for both my physical and mental health. Since working together to create a care plan that fits with my work and personal life, he has helped to keep me in the best shape of my life. I owe a lot to Dr. Marc for helping me feel my best.
I started working with Marc to deal with a hockey injury. He fixed it almost instantly! And now I go to him regularly, for maintenance and mobility.<br><br>Marc is great at explaining what he is doing and why he is doing it. I highly recommend Ivy West to anybody looking to take care of their body and health.
I’ve been getting treatment from Marc for the past 3 months and it’s been nothing but the best experience from day one! Very knowledgeable, has a great holistic approach and gives you his full attention on each visit. His background in athletics, and personal testimony on how chiropractic care helped him, is evident in his genuine passion for helping people stay active and pain free. Highly recommended checking out Ivey West!
Working with Dr Marc has been life changing for me! I have a history of multiple herniated discs and sciatica, and Dr Marc is the only chiropractor I’ve seen (and I’ve seen MANY) that was able to get me moving again. Not only does he adjust me, he works with my mom, my aunt, and my kids! It’s a family affair! Dr Marc is an excellent clinician who takes time to explain every process and why/how the body works. His office is always clean and inviting. It’s evident that Dr Marc cares deeply for each and every one of his patients. I will certianly be a lifelong client …My back and my mind have NEVER felt better!!
As a fellow chiropractor, Dr. Marc provides great care. Not only does he possess great adjusting skills, but he also has a great combination of professionalism and people skills. I would highly recommend him to those looking to improve their health!
Ivy West is just amazing - professional, caring, so knowledgeable and a great atmosphere. Dr Marc has literally changed my life. I’ve had chronic pain for 2+ years and tried so many things - prescription meds, physio, shock wave therapy, etc. After seeing Dr Marc for less than 3 months, my pain reduced by 75% and now that I’ve been with him for 6+ months, my pain is almost nonexistent. I would highly recommend this clinic and specifically Dr Marc to anyone looking to get to the root of their issues and work with a medical professional who truly understands and cares.
Dr Marc is actually the BEST! I found his clinic by walking by one day and reading his story. He show up very honest and authentic, clearly identifying his values and really driving impact. I felt a difference after my first couple of weeks working with him. I used to have terrible low back, disc issues and I've been seeing Dr. Marc now for 6 months and I have not had a problem. His belief in the body's ability to heal itself and the commitment to engaging in that process with me and my family has made all the difference in the world. I'm very grateful to have found him.
Starting coming in July, I had a lot of pain going on and it was making my life hard. I have noticed a huge difference in my neck and back. I feel so much better and just happier with my results.<br><br>My kids always get adjusted and enjoy getting adjusted by Dr.Marc.<br><br>I would 1000% recommend Dr.Marc/ Ivy West Chiropractic.
Dr Marc is a fantastic chiropractor.<br>He has helped me to continue to live my active lifestyle now pain free and he continues to explain the process along the way.<br>Given his athletic background he definitely knows what he is talking about!<br>Highly recommend.
Excellent care received from Dr. Marc. Having never visited a chiropractor before I was not sure what to expect but have found him to be kind and committed to providing the best experience and outcome possible. I look forward to continuing chiropractic care as part of my health care routine. I highly recommend Ivy West Chiropractic - Welcome to the neighbourhood.
Nothing but great things to say about Ivy West. I have been going since he opened on recommendation by some fellow athletes and he has done a great job in dealing with aches and pains and overall wellness. highly recommended!
Dr. Marc helped me to begin walking again.<br>He is professional, friendly and he is always in a very good mood.<br>I highly recommend him as an excellent chiropractor and excellent human being.
It’s my opinion that I could not have received better treatment elsewhere. I had a fluke medical incident that has put me through several different specialist protocols. The progressive work that Dr. Hagel has done has restored my confidence that I will heal and get better, and I am. He educates clients as well. Each time a specialist has instigated more tests and reviewed results has coincided with Dr. Hagel’s opinion beforehand. Excellent service, treatment and knowledge from Dr. Hagel.
I recently visited Ivy West Chiropractic to see Dr. Hagel. My first impressions were his knowledge, professionalism and positive attitude. When I saw Dr. Hagel, I explained my issues and he broke it down to for me that I was able to comprehend.<br><br>I’ve gone to chiropractors in the past and I’m typically very tense which makes it harder to be adjusted. Dr. Hagel calming attitude and patients made me less tense which contributed to a very positive overall experience.<br><br>Lastly, Dr. Hagel was very genuine and transparent with me that is sometimes hard to find.<br><br>I would highly recommend Dr. Hagel for any chiropractic needs.
Dr. Marc has been the best chiropractor I have been treated by in my life. I have tried many different Chiropractors but there hasn’t been anyone like him. Professional and unreal at what he does. Highly recommend
Ivy West Chiropractic is amazing! My son had back pain from working out. Dr. Marc was very professional, he made us feel comfortable and explained everything he was doing for the treatment plan. He has great hands and made my son feel so much better. Thank you!!
Dr Marc is a wonderful chiropractor. Not only does he have a beautiful practice but he is a genuine and caring person. I used to routinely get migraines but with treatment from a person who truly cares about my wellbeing they have been limited to few and far between. I have visited some chiropractors that have had difficulty adjusting my mid back and neck which is where my migraines originate from but Dr Marc is very skillful and has no problem with these adjustments. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Hagal is professional, knowledgeable, relatable, empathetic, and engaged. His emphasis on long term positive outcomes, ability to gear up (or gear down) treatment protocols in response to patient feedback is second to none. Highly recommended for top notch spinal care. A prime experience.
I followed his recommended plan and I experienced increase in sleep quality, better digestion, improved balance/mobility and increase in focus - which I did not think was possible. I was less stressed as well as a result of his expertise and care.<br><br>Life game changer
As a chiropractor, I know a stellar chiropractor when I meet one. Dr Marc is exactly that.<br><br>His adjusting skills are fantastic. They are effective, accurate and comprehensive, and I appreciate him for that. But I also appreciate him for his thoroughness, his enthusiasm for his profession, his awesome personality and his holistic approach to the healthcare he provides.<br><br>Truly happy to have found Dr Marc and feel privileged to be under his care.
Dr. Marc and the Ivy West team are nothing short of first class! Their number one concern is the well-being of their patients, and they’ll always give you their honest opinion.
Woke up this morning feeling great I had a very good walking night last night and a great walking morning. For someone with osteoarthritis that’s a big deal! Not only are both my knees feeling better but my hips and shoulders and neck as well. Everywhere I carry tension has relief.<br><br>Thank you so much Dr. for the time and care that you take on each chiropractic adjustment. I appreciate it.<br><br>My experience With Mark was so amazing. I introduced my daughter And she brought a friend. The word is out there MARC I predict an onslaught of new patients! Thanks for everything
I’ll start this review out strong with “I wouldn’t be where I am right now - mentally or physically without the chiropractic care of Dr. Marc from Ivy West Chiropractic over the past 6 months.”<br><br>Long story short, I met Dr. Marc 60+ adjustments ago in a very dark place - post surgery with little to no hope that I would return to racing, let alone moving pain-free in the foreseeable future. Sceptical of chiropractors in general, Dr. Marc was different; welcoming with a non-pressure approach which made me feel nothing but confident under his care. His positive outlook, knowledge and relatability (having experienced a similar breakthrough as a professional athlete himself) is what makes his practice unique. Thanks to my support team - including Dr. Marc - I am now traveling to Spain to compete in a Sprint Triathlon for Canada at Worlds!<br><br>All in all, 5 stars - without hesitation I would highly recommend Ivy West Chiropractic.
Dr. Marc combines a top notch professionalism with a charm personality, whose approach is individual to every patient. Although I moved to other city I am happy that my first chiropractor was Mr. Hagel, I realized an importance of spine in my body and I am happy to know that in Toronto I can always get aid with my spine<br>Vitalii
Been a patient since Marc first opened the doors. Such a welcomed addition to the neighborhood and the help I was looking for. A true body alignment reset and a care giver who gives a care.
Dr. Marc is awesome. He is the first chiropractor that I have worked with that took the time to tell me his story, and the significance it plays in his treatment approach today. He has taught me the importance of spine health and what an adjustment actually does inside your body. I have seen huge improvements in my chronic headaches, and I always leave feeling a little bit lighter. He is kind, extremely knowledgeable, patient and is willing to laugh at my jokes. I couldn't recommend him more. Thanks Dr. Marc!
I have not been to a chiropractor in years but after my first visit and adjustment with Dr. Marc I know this will be the only chiropractor I visit. Knowledgeable, detailed, you can tell that not only does Dr. Marc know what he is doing, but by the way he spoke with me I could tell that he truly cares and has a passion for making people feel better and get healthy. I already feel relieved after just one visit. Strongly recommended.
