Best Chiropractor
Michael Shippy, D.C.
Although nobody said they secretly call Michael Shippy “Dr. Feelgood,” we wouldn’t be surprised if that became a meme. As one of the top chiropractors in North Texas, Shippy has been treating his patients with a firm hand and a strong sense of bedside manner for years. Armed with knowledge of physiology and a grasp of how to make an alignment that alleviates pain and increases wellness, he muscled his way to the top of our readers’ hearts. Give that man a hand!

Best Optometrist
William Henderson, O.D.
For more than 20 years, Bill Henderson has looked into the windows of the soul… and diagnosed astigmatism, glaucoma and near-sightedness, among other things. His Uptown Vision office sells a slate of eyewear, but it’s his experience as an optometrist, his knowledge of what prescriptions work best for your eyes and his easy way of explaining how he can help that won him the plaudits of Dallas Voice readers. We asked who they trusted with their vision, and, turns out for Henderson, the eyes have it.
