Dr. Andrew Alvis founded ALVIS Chiropractic and is the chiropractor at our Hood River clinic. He grew up in Central Wisconsin and earned a B.S. in Biology and Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse. He then moved to Portland to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic at Western States Chiropractic College (now University of Western States).
After graduating, Dr. Alvis practiced in Lima, Peru, and in Jakarta, Indonesia, and is the owner of Jakarta Chiropractic. He taught at Biomech-Chiropractic University Indonesia. Working with patients across very different cultures shaped how he practices: he listens carefully, explains each step clearly, and tailors care to each person.
Dr. Alvis returned to Portland and founded ALVIS Chiropractic in 2011. He later opened our second clinic in Hood River. Today he sees patients at the Hood River clinic only. Dr. Jerome Craig cares for patients at our Portland clinic.
Dr. Alvis sees patients at the Hood River clinic only. If your exam shows that spinal decompression may help, he can refer you to Dr. Craig at our Portland clinic.
“Dr Alvis is a skilled chiropractor with a gentle demeanor. His staff are equally caring and attentive. A great place to receive care from head to toe.”
“I have seen several chiropractors over many years and Dr. Alvis is the best. I'm a retired professional violinist who began playing at a very early age. This has caused pain and discomfort to my neck and upper body. Dr. Alvis treatment is just what I needed. He is patient, understanding, gentle and firm with his adjustments. Now my neck and upper body are relieved of pain and discomfort. This is wonderful after dealing so many years with this problem. I'm very grateful to have found him.”
“Dr. Alvis is a super warm, kind and gentle chiropractor. He works to make sure people in need can get seen quickly and goes out of his way to be there for them. He makes sure you are comfortable and feeling supported. And he has excellent adjusting skills. Great guy!”
“Dr. Alvis and his team are exceptional. They consistently greet you with a warm smile and ensure you feel genuinely welcome. Dr. Alvis successfully treated an ankle injury I had endured for 7 years. He explained every step of the treatment process clearly and made sure I was comfortable throughout. I couldn't walk without pain, and now it feels as good as new. I'm so thankful for his help! The office is clean and modern, and the staff is always professional and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Alvis to anyone needing chiropractic care.”
“I have decades-old injuries that Dr. Alvis has been correcting. With regular adjustments, my pain is greatly diminished and my mobility has improved where other chiropractic treatments have failed to show such progress. I'd say I am feeling ten years younger, but I didn't move as well back then! In addition, everyone at the practice is so friendly and genuinely caring.”
