Dr. Gurj Kalay, DC
Chiropractor and owner · Decompression and auto collision injury specialist
Gurjinder Singh Kalay, though most patients know him as Gurj, Dr. Gurj or Dr. Kalay. He was born and raised in Yuba City in a Punjabi immigrant family. His parents put their own wants aside so their children would have every opportunity, and their work ethic still sets the bar for him.
English was not the first language at home, and from a young age he went along to his parents’ medical appointments to translate. Those visits are where he decided that language should never stand between a person and good care, and they are a large part of why he became a healthcare provider and came back to serve the community that raised him.
The youngest of three, with two older sisters who shaped who he is, he graduated from Yuba City High School in 2005, attended Yuba College and transferred to Chico State, where he found chiropractic. He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose in 2014.
In 2015, shortly after graduating, he married his best friend. He spent two years as a chiropractic associate in Yuba City, and in January 2017, with the encouragement of patients, friends and family, opened Yuba Sutter Chiropractic, on his thirtieth birthday. Opening his own office by thirty was a personal goal, and it remains one of his proudest accomplishments. Patients have since voted the office Best of Yuba‑Sutter‑Colusa more than once, which he takes as a reason to keep raising the standard rather than a finish line.
In the office, the rule is simple: every patient gets treated like family. He has been caring for people in the Yuba Sutter area since 2014 and plans to be here for a long time yet.
Away from the table he likes connecting with people and staying active, and he is a committed Manchester United and Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan. At home he is a husband (often the most annoying one, according to his wife) and a self-described girl dad to three daughters, doing his best to be their everyday superhero.
