TL;DR - Go and see Susie immediately. She will be able to help you no matter what ails you. There…read moreare times she will solve problems you didn't even know you had! Long narrative: I have been seeing Susie for three months now, and I want to give a comprehensive walkthrough of my experience because I'm sure there are people like me who are curious about what the experience is truly like. I walked into this completely open-minded. Did I think it'd help? Sure. Did I think it'd help as much as it did? Absolutely not. But let's get to the first appointment. Arrival: I arrived on time and found plenty of street parking. There is a code for the front door, so it is nice that the building is secure. The COVID-19 protocols are flawless. When you arrive, there is maybe one other person in the waiting area at the same time as you. When you get into the room, there are many places for you to sit/lie down that are well spaced. Additionally, there are several air purifiers to make you feel safe. There are never more than 3 people (4 if you include Susie) at a time and everyone is masked. First session: During my consultation, I had told Susie some things I wanted to work on: namely stress. The amount of time that Susie listens to you and connects with you is just unparalleled - I swear she is part-time therapist. She went ahead and placed the needles and I relaxed into the process. After about an hour, I felt incredibly relaxed and could feel myself letting go of some of the tension I had been carrying. Sessions since then: Every time I come in, it's like coming to see an old friend. Susie very quickly makes you feel welcomed - I feel like I've known her my whole life. Her energy is so calming and comforting like a warm hug on a cold day. She takes the time to read you and your body in that moment before responding with treatment to address where you are right now. Did it work? Yes. First off, I no longer wake up with a headache because of sleeping with a clenched jaw. Some other benefits? I feel a lot more relaxed and find that stressful situations are a lot more manageable. I find that I'm happier these days even though I am living through a pandemic. Now well into month three, I plan on keeping this as part of my self-care routine. I look forward to my weekly acupuncture like I would for a massage. I highly recommend following Susie's advice of doing 2x a week for the first couple of weeks to get your body caught up to where it needs to be before backing down to once a week. Also ask for her advice on other life changes you can make to help support your experience. She offered me a path of herbs or I could eat more red meat to accomplish the same - I was very happy to be prescribed a steak. :) Her prices are incredibly affordable, she has price points/sliding scales that makes this treatment achievable for people, and she offers great packages to make it sustainable for longer-term (4 sessions for $100 or $30-$55 for a single session). Her compassion, care, and experience will leave you feeling more centered and calm. Thank you Susie for everything you've done for me. I know we're not done yet, but I cannot stop raving about you to anyone who will listen. Go see her - do not wait.

Susie is the best! She's fixed so many ailments and provided general good care every visit.read more

Be very careful when relying on insurance cost estimates provided by this clinic…read more I sought clarification regarding my expected costs before scheduling additional treatment and made my decisions based on the information communicated to me. I later received unexpected bills totaling $120. What disappointed me most was not the amount itself, but the response afterward. The clinic acknowledged that "false expectations" had been created, yet maintained that nobody had done anything wrong and that the entire financial responsibility remained mine. Future patients should obtain written confirmation of all expected out-of-pocket costs before proceeding with treatment.

I just moved to Seattle from San Francisco and desperately needed a natural doctor that specialized…read morein acupuncture. My friend recommended Dr. Perry and I am sooooo glad that she did! He has helped me so much with my allergies, stomach problems(due to stress) and neck pain. I went to his office and was instantly comfortable in his office/surroundings. He sat me down and went over my entire medical history. As this was my first time to ever see him, it made me feel very comfortable to know that he was so thorough with getting to know me and understanding why I was there. He went into a lot of explanation on why I was feeling pain in my neck, stomach etc.... He then, did some acupuncture on me and I usually kinda freak out at first with the needles but he had such a gentle way of talking me through it that I didn't even notice when it had been done! I felt very relaxed and a bit better once the procedure was done! yea! He then set me up with some natural herbs and this shake thing for me to take in the a.m. for my stomach. He also gave me this herb called Shashandra for my neck. I have already started to follow his program that he gave to me & I am feeling better! I would highly recommend going to Dr. Perry for really just about anything you are having problems with. He also works with sports athletes in case any of you out there are injured from a sports related accident. I can not stay enough good things about Dr. Perry, He is awesome!!

Because of the injury, some old issues resurfaced, but the Vida team worked together seamlessly to provide top-tier, holistic care. I look forward to more strength building and maintenance.

I recently suffered a serious shoulder injury. I was able to stabilize my condition on my own but…read moreas I navigated our health system, Urgent Care -- Teledoc -- Emergency Room -- Specialist, this resulted in my condition not being taken seriously. I was told to ice it and start PT. When I started with the PT specialist, they immediately flagged my condition as serious and recommended I talk to the folks at LWSS. I met with Dr. Chimes and he was the first doctor that took the time to listen to the issues I was experiencing. Dr. Chimes is direct and blunt in his feedback, a trait some may not like but I really appreciated. Dr. Chimes got me setup for a MRI that took place @3pm. He called me on his day off at 8:30 the next morning to get me in contact with a surgeon. Until I met with the folks at LWSS, I was feeling pretty abandoned by the healthcare industry. I can't emphasize enough my appreciation for them taking my condition serious and putting me on the right track.

This is my full update review (I have removed my prior). TL;DR at bottom…read more I saw Doctor Chimes around one year ago for intense hip and back pain. Right away, it was clear he cares more about his personal time than his patients. He told me he wanted yes or no answers and not explanations to his questions (and wouldn't really let me explain things in full even when it would clarify things). After my MRI, which showed multiple spinal issues (bulging, herniated, parse defect, which is a fracture) and bursitis in the hip, he gave me a shot for the bursitis that had already begun healing on its own. During this time, I continually try to tell him the pain is not in the location of the bursitis anymore. He continually ignores or even speaks over me. At the end, I am again trying to tell him I feel pain elsewhere in my hip even though there is a little reduction after the shot (but I was numbed, so of course it would hurt less). To test my pain, he had me stand up from my chair...once. Worse, when we were done and I was alone in the room, when I tried to get up to put my pants on, the pain was so intense I collapsed. This pain happened again when I got home and tried to take one step up the stairs. During our last appointment, instead of listening to me, he tells me "Your pain doesn't match the MRI", and that tells me I'm about to be dismissed, but then it got worse. He continues with, "In his professional opinion, you just need internal pelvic floor PT". Why? Because I'm a woman...and he asked me 2 or 3 YES or NO questions around sex and did not let me explain the answers... I told him I didn't think so, but he disagreed. Well, after speaking with a Pelvic Floor specialist, she disagreed with his assessment. So, instead of doing that, I went to Evergreen Sports and Spine and met with a new doctor who actually took my pain seriously. With his help and a new PT, another MRI of my hip WITH contrast (he was surprised that Dr. Chimes didn't order contrast as it's needed for specific tears in the hip), we found that I had a CAM Morphology, that should have been showing up on my other X-rays and MRIs, but apparently weren't spotted and/or reported...and that I had a tear in the Labrum of my right hip. Later, they also found I had a small pincer as well. So, a double impingement. I had to have surgery because the surgeon I spoke with next agreed that the tear was too large to not do surgery if I wanted to not be in pain. No arguing. No trying to talk me out of it. They immediately agreed it was the best course of action. I had surgery April 2nd of 2024 to remove my CAM and the Pincer they found, and then repair the labrum. While I'm still in recovery, my pain is down 80% of the time outside of flareups when I over exercise during my strength training. I would never send a woman to him, as she will be dismissed. I was in so much pain that I was crying after collapsing at the office during my last visit. The only reason I am giving this location a 2-star is because the women at the front were incredibly nice. This review is leaving out a lot of other smaller issues I had during my short time there. Maybe if you're a man, it'll be worth it, but if you're a woman, go elsewhere. I cannot, in good faith, recommend this office or Dr. Chimes. TL;DR, Dr. Chimes ignored what I said and then gave a sexist course of action due to my gender. New doctor 2 months later discovered the issue and that I needed hip surgery to remove two bone defects and a tear in my labrum. I have now had surgery and am doing well in recovery with a large reduction in pain.
