Over two decades I have been to various traditional and alternative practitioners for back pain;…read morechiro's, massage, acupuncture, etc.. I was referred to her by a PT that had seen her and had found complete relief of his symtoms after a handful of visits. Everyone will be different with how they respond... I have been seeing her since Dec '10 somewhat regularly. Dr Lindsay has put me on a path to recovery from my issues in a way that none of my other doctors ever have (I have had neck pain for 20 years that was relieved after the first visit- it still comes back but the frequency is dramatically decreased). She has a very gentle touch but dramatic results. I really don't know how she does it or how to explain it to other people. After having chiro's twist your body unnaturally into painful positions what she does is incredibly subtle. I can do things now that I haven't been able to do in a long time, and without injuring myself every time. I swear she is magic... I also sent my teenaged son to her for curvature in his back and stiffness in his hips (he couldn't bend over at the waist). After one visit he increased his mobility significantly and grew an inch! He has seen her a handful of times- his physique is completely different- and normal now. He thinks she is magic too... She is a very kind person, a great listener, amazing healer, and fosterer of holistic care. She makes great referrals to other doctors when she believes it may benefit your overall health. In other words, an active member of your "health" team. P.s. I haven't been back to any of the other providers since (including massage). :)

I began seeing Cathy Lindsay in 1990 and saw her regularly for 8 years. I went to her for sciatic…read morepain, and she relieved my chronic rhinitis. Tears came out of my eyes and my long-time sinus problems went away. I thought of it today, 23 years later, when I visited someone else. He treated the same area that caused the eyes and sinuses to open and said that he could tell I'd been treated in that area before. He was impressed. She sent me to see someone else after a year when she couldn't resolve my issue, and that was a great experience. I still saw Dr. Lindsay for scoliosis, hip and neck pain, and whenever my knees got out of whack. Her work always lined up the knee caps. I saw her from 2003-2006, and whenever back in town. When I move back, I will see her again. She's great!

There is no better Dr than Dr Leifheit. he is not only an excellent, smart, exceptional doctor but…read morealso a wonderful person and man. He secretly helps so many people out and volunteers his talents and time to contribute to keeping so many beautiful trails cleared and safe rebuilding washed out sections and clearing over grown paths and so much more. He volunteers his valuable time and sacrifices his vacations to do amazing things and help so many people without our ever " Tooting his own horn" he is kind, passionate and caring at the highest level while maintaining professionalism and patience care on another level. I don't say these things for any other reason than to testify to his excellency and huge heart and a mind to go with it. God definitely broke the mold after creating Dr Leifheit. he has personally helped me through some of the worst struggles in my life with injuries after a nasty on the job accident leading to several back procedures and five miserable knee operations and therapy and all that comes with it. His wisdom and compassion and advice has given me the confidence to rebound and retrain myself leading to a new wonderful career. He helped me deal with Washington State L and I and all their ugly ways. Dr Leifheit is by far the best Dr anyone could ever wish for. God must have a special place in glory saved for men like him. Thank you Dr Leifheit from the bottom of my heart. you inspire me. Mike George

Dr Leifheit is the one to see if you have chronic musculoskeletal pain. He takes the time to listen…read moreto everything you have to say, does a very thorough initial exam, explains everything, and works with you to develop a treatment plan. The office isn't big or fancy, and he doesn't have a bunch of other staff doing work for him, he is there to practice medicine and improve the lives of his patients. Exactly what a physician should be doing. I highly recommend.

Greatest doctor I have ever been to!!!!…read more He spends over an hour with each patient, is attentive, funny, smart, helpful, caring....I could list more! He has been the only doctor to actually TREAT my chronic back pain. In fact, he has dealt with L&I for about a year, so he can treat me. He is an amazing, caring doctor. His assistant, Christine, is also nice, inviting, sweet and knowledgeable. Don't hesitate to call him for an appointment if you have back pain, neck pain or any other chronic problem. He does osteopathic manual medicine and it's been very effective for me.

My experience with Devorah has not been positive, but that doesn't mean yours wouldn't be…read more I came to her as a highly complex case with multiple severe long-term health issues. She recommended three treatments in one week, and for all of them I was on the table 45 minutes or longer (I believe one was an hour and a half). When I inquired as to the ideal frequency of visits I was told that coming in as often as possible is best. After the third visit, my health crashed with incapacitating symptoms of overexertion. I also began having significant breathing trouble from an ongoing throat issue that Dr. Steinecker had been fully briefed on in our first meeting. After several hours of throat wheezing with each breath I made contact with Dr. Steinecker, calmly communicated what was happening, and was advised to "talk myself down" and counseling was the recommended treatment. I now see a different cranial osteopath. The throat/breathing issue also happened the day after my second treatment from him. Rather than assuming psychological origin, he made various physiological recommendations that relieved the situation and has since identified the problem. Also, he finds that half an hour every 2-3 weeks is plenty and is extremely cautious about over-treating any of his patients. I solicited a third opinion from another cranial osteopath who agreed the treatment I received from Steinecker was far more than *any* person ought to be given at once, let alone someone in my state. Devorah is a humorous, easy-going, compassionate doctor with skilled hands and significant ability to sense exactly what manipulation is called for and where in order to alleviate pain and other issues. It's mind-blowing, and if that's all you need then you may well have a satisfying experience as her patient. However I required a higher degree of sensitivity to my body's limitations and a more scientific approach than immediately passing off confounding issues as psychological problems. As a result, she lost my trust and my business.

Sometimes there are times when I wish you could give 6 or 7 stars - but unfortunately we only have…read more5 starts to choose from so here goes. She is a highly knowledgable, relatable, brilliant, outstanding health professional with a "can-do" attitude (even when me as a Patient believed being pain-free would be difficult to achieve). Basically, after a horrendous car accident and utilizing many practitioners a colleague pointed me towards Dr. Devorah Steinecker. And boy am I ever glad they did. Dr. Devorah is an amazing multi-talented Dr. who is known as a phenomenal paediatric working with autistic children - but my friend also shared she is also a prominent Neurologist (and I was referred via her skillsets in assisting others become painfree from accidents, injuries and such). So off I went travelling from Canada to USA: Working with Dr. Devorah has directly given me back my health and wellbeing back. The brain, neck and head injuries caused by the car accident are NOW balanced. Those who have gone through severe injuries (or seen loved ones go through such pain) can relate to what an amazing gift of being whole, aligned and physically strong again. Dr Devorah also integrates: Mind, Body, Spirit therefore encompassing the many aspects of self. So her work is powerful as it is a very personalized methodology that is NOT "cookie-cutter". Basically her work is uniquely designed and getting to know her patients on deep levels is important for she is nothing short of a miracle worker (okay I haven't seen her change water into wine - but you know what I mean)....when walking was painful , sleeping was cumbersome - being pain-free and healthy is a phenomenal gift, so I AM glad I gifted myself with the experience of working with Dr. Devorah for in doing so it gifted me back a wholeness in my Health.

I recently visited Dr Giuliana's practice after throwing out my back. Her receptionist was friendly…read moreand quickly worked to get me in same day knowing my pain. The office itself was calming and private. Dr Giuliana was so gentle with massage and various restorative type exercises that carefully brought my body back into alignment. There were no quick cracks or adjustments as you'd get from a chiropractor. At the end she recommended things I could do at home to let my muscles finish healing and reduce swelling. Following the visit and her recommendations I was feeling back to new within 24 hours. Only needed to visit her once but would consider seeing her regularly. Overall I highly recommend to anyone!

She approached our daughter with such gentle and kind care and made sure to always put her patient first. All that aside she was also incredibly flexible and accommodating (something you rarely see from medical practitioners). Though the effects of osteopathy are hard to quantify I do truly believe she made a difference and our daughter was able to improve her bottle feeding with Dr. Venables' help.

I would not recommend Stillpoint Ostopathic clinic (now based in NE Seattle) with Dr. Judith Lewis…read more The extended intake process was invasive and our first session had no treatment whatsoever, despite going for 1.5 hours. She seemed genuinely concerned about condition, but her recommendations and "treatment" (usually just pushing one or two points on my leg or back while telling me I should be feeling something) were unhelpful. I was uncomfortable with the treatment at times, and did not feel it was appropriate. I switched to a physical therapy office and began seeing results much faster, and now I'm largely pain free. So glad I switched. Can't imagine the pain I would be in if I stayed with this office.

My neurologist recommended me seeing Dr. Scoppa for a TMJ issue that I encountered after seeing an…read moreorthodontist for dental work/braces. The attempt to correct my teeth, created a TMJ problem I hadn't experienced before involving neck tension, daily headaches, frequent migraines, poor sleep and facial pain/tension. After my first session, I was quite skeptical even though Dr. Scoppa was good at explaining his approaches, as I have never had this kind of work done before. But he has really done magic for me and has improved my quality of life!!! I feel so much better after a few sessions and the effect helps me get through the next months, before my TMJ symptoms reoccur. At this time, I am trying to pinpoint the right amount of time between our sessions. Dr. Scoppa is very knowledgeable, interested and caring. I would recommend him for anyone having TMJ, neck or other physical traumas! He is the best! Thank you Dr. Scoppa for the work you do!

When Dr. Acher announced she was leaving her previous practice, I was disappointed. Even though she…read morewas required to process patients at light speed to "hit numbers" or whatever the right expression would be in the insurance industry, she was a caring doctor there. Like many doctors in this country, though, she had to make appointments short, and appointments were sometimes weeks out. It was frustrating for both of us. When Dr. Acher announced she was starting a new practice and it would be a concierge medicine practice, I was both confused and intrigued. "You mean I pay even MORE money on top of what I'm already paying for insurance?" I looked into it further both as a concept and as something that had been done successfully on the Eastside. At $100 per month, I decided to give it a try. She said I could phone, text, or email her any day at any time. I didn't believe it at first. But sure enough, I've texted her at night on weekends and she has responded in just a few minutes. Amazing! I don't make a habit of it because Dr. Acher has to live a life, too. My first in-office appointment wasn't even an annual physical, but she talked to me for about 40 minutes. Nothing was hurried. I never felt as if she had to rush to the next patient. I couldn't believe it. For me $8 per day is worth it. I have direct access to my GP. I feel heard and attended to. And she gets to choose how many people are in her practice, which means she can control how busy it gets. Highly recommended! I'm a believer in concierge medicine now and I was already a believer in Dr. Acher.
