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!

My insurance company told me they received an order for a CT scan of my spine, when the order…read moreshould have been an MRI for my knee. I called my physician's office at Swedish Ballard Tallman that was supposed to have sent the MRI order and they were 100% dismissive. Argued with me that they sent the right order when I wasn't accusing them of anything, was just trying to find out how to move forward to make sure the right order goes through. Straight up hung up on me while I was in the middle of asking a question. I was not rude or blaming anyone when talking to her, simply just trying to figure out what was going on since my insurance company was saying one thing and the physician's office was saying another. Weird way to treat a patient they know is in pain and felt like my physician and his office could not care less about what happened to me. Save your time and money, go to UW med or Polyclinic across the street.

I saw a great fellow in the clinic a few months ago. I just called to make an appointment with…read moresomeone else, knowing he had already gone back to CA. I was told because I saw a fellow the first time that I can only see a fellow for future appointments. When I expressed surprise and frustration by this, I was accused by the person on the phone that I was being "uncooperative" and "yelling" despite the fact that I was only trying to understand. I asked to speak to her manager. The manager confirmed this is their practice and said in order to see someone other than a fellow, approval would have to come from higher up. She said this is the practice in the UW system. I've never had this experience in any other UW Medicine specialty. The manager was helpful. But quite disappointed the practice of pigeon-holing someone with a particular type of provider based on who they saw first in clinic.

Treatment for disabling foot pain that has left me unable to walk more than 200 feet each day for…read moremore than 20 years. Approximately 15 years of treatment from podiatrist(s) was ineffective and only provided temporary relief for a day or two. I had 4 treatments at the Center for Pain Relief beginning on or about July 15, 2023. The first treatment was an injection into my foot (heel) to address the disabling nerve pain I was experiencing. I have had absolutely NO NERVE PAIN in my right foot since the July 2023 injection. The injection was immediately effective. The next 3 treatments which I received every 2 weeks, addressed the other type of burning pain in my feet. Pain patches were applied to each foot for exactly one hour and then removed. It took about 2 more weeks after the last pain patch was removed on August 15, 2023, for me to receive complete pain relief in both feet. I have received total pain relief in both feet since the first week of September 2023. I am so grateful to these two doctors: Dr. Curatolo and Dr. Soulakvelitze. Thank you, doctors, you have changed my life!

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.

This is not an easy subject for men of my age to deal with, but Zach was so clear, organized, forthright, patient. His diagram and explanation were thorough and I came away for the first time in life understanding what the pelvic floor actually looks like. After spending a lot of time seeking answers (including going to the Roosevelt branch of UW Medical Center), I think I found the most effective treatment for Post Micturition Dribble or UI. At the very least I understand it. All the time spent Googling and watching Youtube videos (hours) had left me confused and overloaded. This sports clinic obviously hires some very competent, enthusiastic people for its professional staff.

Yet i am going to have to agree with just about everything i read on yelp that day. I wish i would have checked yelp or www.healthgrades.com, which is even worse ratings, that other physician's rate thier fellow doctors.
