North City Chirporactic Health

Being from the medical community, I feel as though I can write that Doctor Markos is truly the best Chiropractor in the Puget Sound area. She listens to her patients and take her time, not rushed. She truly has the touch of "GOLD". You know what I'm saying if you 've ever been treated by a gifted Doctor. As a patient you will not be disappointed. Once you have been treated by her, you also will ring the bells to her abilities. Great person on top of being a great Doctor.

Pros: North City area, layed back, comfortable

Cons: There are no cons.

I was in an accident about a month ago and was in a lot of pain. I work full-time and go to school full-time so I needed a female chiropractor who understood my schedule, my level of pain, was easy to get to and had flexible hours. My mom looked up Dr. Markos in the Yellow Pages and I went in for a consulation 3 days after the accident. Dr. Markos took me on the same day even though it extended beyond her regular office hours. Her receptionist was VERY friendly and helpful in booking the appointment, and always has a cheerful attitude. Her office was easy to find, close to the freeway, and has plenty of free/easy parking that is easy to get in and out of. Dr. Markos took the time to understand what I wanted out of my treatment, where the pain was, and told me exactly what to expect going forward. She took ownership of my situation and came up with an effective treatment plan. I have been seeing her two times a week from that time, and my pain has gone down a considerable amount. I am able to work on the computer and continue my studying with minimal pain. She always takes her time, she cares for the patient. She understands my hectic schedule and I get the appointments that work the best for ME. She's very friendly and I feel very confident in her abilities and very comfortable being in her care. I am VERY thankful to have found her, and would highly recommend her for chiropractic care.

Pros: Everyone at the office is friendly, great location with free/easy parking.

On my first visit to any chiropractor Dr. Markos not only made my headache go away that I went in for, but also fixed the rotation of my arms. Something I've been living with all my life is poor rotation without knowing it, and Dr. Markos gave me full rotation!

Cons: limited parking

After ONE SINGLE visit, without extensive and expensive x-rays, Dr. Markos changed the shape of my neck--flattening out my 25 year + dowager's bump. Right now, I want the thousands of dollars spent on chiro care and so so massage therapists back and a do-over without pain of the last few decades. By the third visit she has found just what a prior reviewer stated; injuries or pain that I hadn't even mentioned on the intake. PROS: Intuitive, caring, kind, affordable, a true healer--a straight shooter. Sweetheart of a receptionist/billing gal too. Convenient location, good parking. And you will leave better than you came in. CONS: Yes, the wait times are a bit lengthy. But, she gives EACH patient attentive care, so good things come to those who wait. A bit musty smelling due to age of building...but again, you aren't there long enough--so if a fussy one like me can get over it so can you. My excellent (current , as soon as I can afford you again, Theresa) massage therapist recommended Dr. Markos and with this team working on me I will live to be 110.

Was a patient for a few years, got to a good monthly maintence routine...ened up having to go elsewhere due to new insurance plan/low wages & inability to pay out of pocket on my own...tried a few appointments with a couple of other chiropractors and ended up deciding to go without the care since they weren't actually doing anything of benefit until I could afford to come back to Dr. Markos. While other chiropractors don't seem to actually listen to what's ailing the patient Dr. Markos takes time to listen and then ACTUALLY FIXES THE PROBLEM! The others I saw would just focus on the neck and back...Dr. Markos pays attention to the entire body and how everything is functioning. An amazing health care experience!

I have had a presistant neck pain & frozen shoulder for many years from a fall from a bicycle, over a decade ago. I have had PT and other chiropractic care performed, but was limited by my health plan and the then current pain and meagre committment on my part. Finally, I am getting some relief! I am receiving wonderful care from Dr. Markos at a reasonable rate and her office accepts an insurance plan that other offices may not. She is very personable and an individual who may well become a valuable permanent friend.

Pros: Ample parking, great waiting room, caring staff, intelligent conversation!

Cons: None that I can think of

Yesterday I went to North City Chiropratic Health because I could not breathe. I immediately thought it was asthma and had used inhalers all day. The doctor adjusted a rib and before leaving I was breathing without pain and enjoyed the rest of my day and night pain free.

I started seeing Dr. Markos for balance and gait issues due to Multiple Scleroris (MS). I saw improvements after my first treatment in being able to stand up straighter and walk a little faster. Over time, I've gotten to the point where I don't need to use my cane as often and no longer fall regularly! There are a lot of good things about Dr. Markos and her staff, but the best is that you are treated like a whole person, not just a case. They are also friendly, interesting, and have flexible hours.

Pros: Parking; Convenient, Flexible Hours; Nice People

I was a patient at another chiropractic office and always felt like the goal was to get the patients in and out as quickly as possible, always doing the same adjustments regardless of what issue you were having. With Dr. Markos she actually listens to what you have to say and adjusts accordingly. Visits don't take only 5 minutes because she takes the time to listen to you and your body to find out what the problems are. She took care of my pregnancy related sciatica in just a few visits and actually recommended that i scale back on the visits to save them for later in my pregnancy. A chiropractor who actually focuses on the needs of the patient and not on their wallet! How refreshing! Dr. Markos has my business from now on!

Pros: Excellent parking, best cracking around, listens to what you have to say

Cons: Longish waiting room time

Before I met Dr. Markos, I was the biggest chiropractic wimp. After 5 other chiropractors, I was ready to give up and live with my stiff and immobile neck. Luckily, I found Dr. Markos. She is by far different than any other chiropractor -I could tell she understood me as she listened to my whiny concerns and hesitations. Then she worked her magic - making me feel comfortable as she freed my neck of years of immobility from a car accident and recent ski accident. Not only did she free up my neck, but my hips, ribs (wow! I can breathe) and shoulder. She innately knows what you need when you need it and will use different techniques that address your specific need. You will not find a better professional who you can trust. She is a master at her profession and I can't recommend her enough.

Pros: bedside manner, office staff, scheduling,parking,EZ freeway access
