I played sports my whole life (bronze medal JR Olympian, full ride D1 athlete). Only as I get older…read moredo I realize the incredible embarrassment of riches of access I once had to doctors who viewed fixing an injury as only part of the journey, rehab and regaining proper mobility is actually the key to regaining yourself. Sports Medicine Northwest has this philosophy in spades and even reminded me of it. I had resolved I'd always limp after tearing my quad, and my time chasing my kids would be labored and short. I could not be more wrong. I feel grateful to have found this place! And, even more grateful for the progress I have already seen since being in their dedicated care. I felt compelled to leave a review because (1) this team knows how to help you and (2) I noticed a fellow reviewer's comments that upset me as a client of this facility. Not only did I find this other reviewer's experience to be the polar opposite of mine, I fear their review could potentially prevent folks who really need help from getting quality life upgrading help. (Also... contextually... it's worth calling out this other reviewer gave Costco 1 star! COSTCO! So... I mean if you hate deals and hate spending quality time with your kids... then Costco and this place ain't for you)

I've always had the best services with the staff here, from the front desk, to massages and injury…read moretreatment--Dr. Skylar Pond is the best in the business. My most recent visit felt more like a magic trick than anything else. 8 weeks after a motorcycle crash, I was still suffering from ankle pain and limited mobility. I was certain I had a broken bone that wouldn't heal. I went to urgent care, got images, and was told to "give it time." I did, and it wasn't getting any better. So I decided to see Dr. Pond, who felt around in there, and was able to diagnose a minor bone displacement, and adjusted it back in place in 30 seconds. After 8 weeks of pain, I was fixed after a 5 minute process. I'm still in disbelief. If you've got anything going on, go check him out. You might be surprised with what's possible.

My initial experience with physical therapy left me feeling pretty hopeless that I would ever return to anything close to "normal." Running again--or feeling athletic at all--felt out of reach. When I walked into Tangelo, it was mostly because my back pain flared up after trying to get back into the gym and lose weight after so much inactivity. What stood out immediately was that even with my MRI results in hand, Dr. Mike still took the time to listen. I made it clear my goals were bigger than just pain relief--I wanted to run races again and get back to the level of athleticism I had as a college football player. Instead of a generic, one-size-fits-all plan, I got a thoughtful, progressive approach that actually aligned with those goals. We didn't just treat symptoms--we built strength, stability, and confidence step by step. Working with Lawrence was always impactful, as we focused on movements specific to running and my injury. For the first time since the injury, I felt like I was truly moving forward instead of just managing setbacks. Fast forward to now--I'm running races again and have set both a 10K and half marathon PR. That didn't feel possible not long ago. The entire staff created an environment that made you want to show up--great energy, great music, and always a warm welcome. If you're dealing with pain, setbacks, or feel like your goals are being dismissed, Tangelo is different. They don't just get you out of pain--they help you get back to doing what you actually care about.

From the moment I walked in, the office staff made me feel welcome--they are incredibly friendly, efficient, and always make scheduling and check-ins a breeze. Dr. Mike, Lawrence, Gregory, and Justin got me back to running, deadlifting, and intense workouts in just a few weeks. The entire team is incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and supportive. What sets them apart is that they don't just focus on the physical side of rehab; they also helped me manage the mental frustration and anxiety that comes with a sudden injury. I felt cared for by everyone in the building every step of the way. Highly

She is absolutely amazing. She is very caring, authentic, and very knowledgeable. She has been helping me with some issues with my feet, and I have seen a lot of improvement since I started seeing her. I have a ways to go, but she has drastically helped. I have also seen other staff at Sea Pines who are also amazing and knowledgeable. Carly and the administrative staff are also very helpful and help to provide a good experience. They are caring and very knowledgeable about insurance, billing, appointment management, etc. I have seen Julia at both the clinic location and the West Seattle Health club location. The clinic is a very minimalist space but also modern. I love the vibe and decor of the space. I highly recommend Sea Pines for your physical therapy needs and I can't say anything but good things about Sea Pines!

I haven't had much, if any, neck issues since then. And even if I get some flare ups, I feel confident to resolve that with the exercises he's given me, and it resolves within a week (usually less). I recently started having really bad lower back pain for about the last 1-2 months and I finally made an appt to see him today. Zach gave me such an informative rundown on the root issues and the assessment was spot-on to my bad [posture] habits. He assured me in the way I needed it and again gave me the proper tools and exercises to feel confident that I can tackle this. I left feeling much less stiffness and tension in my lower back bc he spent some time loosening it up and adjusting my back. Can't say enough wonderful things about the guy and his knowledge. I already recommended him to some of my gfs.

If you have been struggling with long-term pain and feel stuck, do yourself a favor and see Zach. I only wish I had found him sooner.

If people are so inspired to write a review about their doctor/experience on yelp (which doesn't happen a lot, mostly restaurants) it must mean a lot. I'm sooo glad I decided to call Minor and James clinic and made an appt with her. Her clinic is at the FIRST HILL BUILDING on Minor ave and James. Parking is located across the street at the parking garage. Make sure to bring the parking stub with you up so that the receptionist can stamp it. The stamp will ensure you a parking discount. Smooth experience from start to end. No long waits in between. I didn't feel rushed or just another patient. She thoughtfully listened to all my concerns & answered all my questions. She explained everything to me thoroughly and very clearly. She thoroughly examined my walk, leg, etc. and was able to pin point the problem instead of ordering a bunch of x-rays that would cost more money. I left not just very satisfied, but I even asked her to recommend me other doctors since I was so impressed with my experience! (I am currently looking for a family doctor/general physician) Anything sports medicine related, I highly recommend her.

Will this will become LA's leading body-mind movement training hub for creatives and entrepreneurs?…read moreI don't know why you would go anywhere else. Go talk to Marco if your body is in pain or if you are working to become a more embodied artist/designer/performer/entrepreneur. He teaches individual and group sessions in Alexander Technique with a particular sensitivity towards people doing creative work. Like refining how you hold your tools over long, repetitive work sessions to prevent pain and to create a deep connection with your work. Let me explain why I am so enamored with this approach... We are all stuck with our bodies. As much as I would just like to leave my (now middle aged) body behind when it's hurt or tired - my body is always there. I have also always been attracted to training my body for performance in sports and theater. When I meditate, my body is a site of reflection. If I wasn't stuck with my body then I probably wouldn't enjoy my life as much. My good friend Marco gets bodies and all all of their painful and exuberant complexity. He has deep insight in how bodies move, how they express, how they are linked to the mind, and how they express our souls. I have known Marco for nearly a decade now and gotten to witness his journey from being a successful business guy who loved design and endurance sports into now perhaps the only person I can think of who explicitly linking the insights of Alexander Technique to the labor of the creative class. If you are unfamiliar with Alexander Technique it is just a bodywork/movement training method. It has been around forever and used often to help performers/dancers/singers/etc develop more presence. People also practice it to get rid of back pain etc. I like things like Pilates, Feldenkrais, Rolfing and yoga well enough but if I want something more than just a fitness or bodywork regime...something designed to support my creative practice and me as a creative person...then I want something like Body Economics. Marco's take on Alexander Technique is designed for creative people. He offers local sessions as his Los Angeles studio, universities, and online. I did a series of online sessions with Marco (I live in NYC) when I was having chronic back pain from working on a computer too much. He was able to provide me with feedback over live video on how I was sitting and standing that changed my understanding of my body. I was able to unwind some knots internally and breath more deeply. In the end I came away with some new tools for self-diagnosing my body when it gets out of wack and ways to put it back in alignment. Oh and Marco can speak Italian if that is useful to you. Go give your body and mind a tune up.

Leaving Marco's studio after just one session, I felt more fine-tuned. My body felt spacious and…read moreopen. And I had a greater appreciation for my human body. This process is invaluable because it can be incorporated into every single facet of life. Feeling the shift of tension releasing as Marco moved my leg, I wondered how often I allow my body to move the way it's actually designed to move! This technique has a soft and fluid sense about it. I was so impressed by the way Marco could feel what was being released in my body and gage what was happening with his hands just as I felt it. I really appreciate this return to the building blocks of how we move, learning how to use our bodies to their full potential. These are tools our culture doesn't teach us to master as we grow up, and it seems like such an obvious hole in our development. We use our bodies for everything. After one session I can see the potential, especially in my art, to bring me back into the process and the "doing" and away from the mind-chatter and tension that builds up in my body as a result. I know this tension inhibits my work and also robs me of the pleasure of the process.

this is the second time i've used this swedish facility for lab work. i am not reviewing any of the…read moredoctors here, to be clear. the first visit was in the summer and i literally walked in at 7:30 and was out within 10 min. this second trip was in the winter and i walked in for lab work at 8am to a full waiting room. the check in procedure isn't immediately clear, especially if you've never been here before. there's a person seated at a computer and a clipboard on the counter adjacent to them. you come in and sign in, and the person will ask you if you have lab work to do, who the doctor is ordering it and your name. once you've done the verbal and written check in, you sit down and wait for your name to be called. i usually ask the phlebotomist to use a butterfly and the last time i was here, the person told me they didn't have any; seemed odd to me. i try to be polite and not tell these people how to do their jobs however i've been told by enough people that they appreciate a patient knowing their body and giving them tips to extract blood painlessly and successfully. it seems to be the luck of the draw (pun intended) as to who you get and how they treat you but what i aim to avoid with small veins is having someone cocky digging around and leaving me with bruises. this visit, since it was essentially standing room only, one of the techs came out and offered me a rolling stool to sit on, which i thought was super nice. i waited close to 30 min to be called back but once they did start calling people, the waiting room emptied out and you could tell they were working their hardest to get through the list of names and people waiting. the person who actually took my blood did a great job, used a butterfly and i was in and out in 5min! special shout out to the person i checked in with at the beginning who called me up to verify/clarify the tests the doctor wanted completed since we'd had multiple back and forth mychart conversations and there were multiple orders. it all got cleared up and i was on my way having had a pretty good experience except for the initial wait, which may not be able to be avoided at certain times of the day.
