“I've been told for years to try acupuncture but with my needle phobia I kept putting it off. I finally went to the place closest to my house and didn't have the greatest experience. When I told my doctor about it she suggested I give it another try and recommended Hongji at Point Acupuncture & Asian Medicine so I went. I can't say enough good things about Hongji, her knowledge, and the treatments she provides. She is very intuitive also and knows exactly how to help with my issues plus she's friendly and kind. I never thought I could look forward to needles but I look forward to my acupuncture treatments with Hongji because I always feel so much better afterwards and that's saying a lot when dealing with chronic health issues.“

“Exceptional Chiropractic is truly exceptional. There is no one I trust more than Dr. Christine Ingbretson and her team of exceptional chiropractors to give me the best possible chiropractic treatment.

I started going there in 2018 when I was experiencing neck and back pain following a car accident where I was rear ended. I thought Dr. Rebecca Bracht did a great job helping me then. She gave me some great information about my injury and what the recovery process would look like. It took time to fully recover, and she recommended physical therapy as well which I did. After finishing physical therapy my appointments gradually became less and less often until they were no longer needed and I was totally back to normal.

Then in 2020 right before the pandemic I was rear ended again. I knew exactly where to go, and once again Dr. Rebecca helped me greatly. Although this time was a little more complicated because of the pandemic, and also because my injury was a little more complicated.

Dr. Bracht and Dr. Ingbretson caught something in my x-rays and they recommended I get an MRI and see a specialist which I did. It turned out to be ok, but they had to make sure something was stable, otherwise I could have been paralyzed which is kind of scary. I’m really glad they caught it and made sure I was getting it taken care of properly.

Due to the pandemic, the Champlin location where I was going was shut down so I had to drive to Ham Lake. Also, during this period of time Dr. Rebecca took a temporary leave of absence due to medical issues, so I started seeing Dr. Christine Ingbretson for my appointments.

On top of everything else during the pandemic, my car insurance company tried to deny payments. They hired a “doctor”, if you can call him that, to write up a report that was infuriating to read because it was so dishonest and incendiary. That “doctor” never even saw me in person and used the pandemic as an excuse. Dr. Christine recommended a lawyer. I spoke with several different lawyers and ended up choosing the one Dr. Christine recommended. He treated me really well, did a great job, and we ended up winning the arbitration case.

Despite the complications, I continued my chiropractic treatments, did the physical therapy and got back to normal to where I didn’t need to go to the chiropractor at all for several years because I was feeling good and didn’t have any problems.

In May 2024, I had an ear infection that led to nerve damage in my face causing it to be paralyzed. I remembered that Dr. Christine helped clear a stopped up ear one time during a past appointment, and that she is a chiropractic neurologist which means she can help with nerves. I saw a medical doctor who prescribed antibiotics for the infection and a steroid to reduce swelling. And I went to the emergency room to make sure I wasn’t having a stroke when one side of my face was paralyzed. But I think Dr. Christine sped up my recovery. I’m not finished with treatments but after just a few weeks my facial paralysis is unnoticeable, and as an audio engineer, I’m back to work in the studio.

I’ve seen some of the other chiropractors at Exceptional Chiropractic over the years when scheduling didn’t allow me to see Dr. Christine, or Dr. Rebecca. I think Dr. Christine, as the owner, cares a lot about hiring exceptional chiropractors as well as exceptional staff. They are all professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and caring.

Exceptional Chiropractic is a positive environment. They send an email to enter info before the appointment. This cuts down on paperwork and makes the appointment feel less stressful because I don’t feel like I’m being handed a homework assignment when I get there unlike most doctor’s offices. Not only do they provide great care, but they care about the small details that make the experience better.

Overall I can’t say enough good things about E“

“The staff are friendly, the gym is nice, and there are a lot of exercise equipment options. My kids (4 & 7) love going to the child care area because it's got tubes/tunnels.“

“This was our first time visiting this clinic. The gal at the front desk wasn’t very friendly, but the rest of the staff was great. The young lady (Annie I think) that took us back was delightful. She was very friendly, helpful and very personable. Our Nurse practitioner listened well and was kind, but Annie is the reason we will likely go back. I’d recommend this place“
