Thorough and thoughtful care

by seahatcher

As a 27 year old marketing professional, I never would have thought that my spine was so out of alignment. After the original exam where he went down my spine checking each vertabrate and letting me know what organs it touched, I was amazed that all of my chronic "normal" conditions were tied to vertabrates that were out of alignment. If you have the insurance coverage, you should at least check this out. He has a solid view of the spine's holistic value to our entire body. He infuses eastern medicinal practices into adjustments without preaching or rambling on. It's an incredibly comfortable environment. They have flexible scheduling. And you learn a lot about just how important a healthy spine is.

• Pros: Flexible Scheduling, Free Parking... in BELLTOWN, Quick service, usually 10-20 minutes total.

Best all around general health care.

by patriciakelley

I have known Dr. MIndel for over 14 years. He was the second chiropractor that I have seen in my life. When he first started treating me, he was still a student at Life Chiropractor school in Marietta, Gerogia. I had tremendous migrane headaches and lower back problems. In no time at all, my migranes were gone and I haven't had any to this date. Dr. MIndel decided to move to Seattle after graduating from chiropractic school and that deeply saddened me. He had made such an impact on me and my overall health, I decided to move to Seattle too with my family. I continue to see him for regular maintenance of my spine and any other problems that might occur. Dr. Scott is truly an amazing, caring doctor that actually takes the time to listen to his patients. He has such a positive attitude about his work and life in general. He keeps updated on new techniques in an ever changing world. Once you have started seeing him for your chiropractic care, you will want to keep coming back because you feel so much better and who doesn't want that, especially when you get older.

I have seen Dr. Julie Sutton ever since she has joined Belltown Spine and Wellness. I was diagnosed with neuropathy due to diabetes in my legs and feet and she is treating me with acupuncture. I have never had any acupuncture, so I didn't know what to expect. I have greatly improved with her care . I would highly recommend having acupuncture for nerve problems that eminate from diabetes. Dr. Julie is also treating me for other health conditions. I have seen a remarkable difference in my health and I know I am on the right road back to good health by taking naturopathic medicine. She won't give up on you when you get discouraged. You couldn't ask for a better team of doctors. One compliments the other in their work to help you gain health, to live longer and most of all, happier. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone who is serious about getting healthier.

• Pros: Love to read what kind of positive inspirations Dr. Scott picks to put on his bulletin board for his patients.
• Cons: Can't get enough of a good thing.

Credible and Talented Chiropractor

by blakejosh21

I did not know Dr. Scott Mindel from Adam and had limiting negative beliefs about Chiropractors going into my first appointment. Dr. Scott did not send me away from my first appointment with prescriptions for hardcore narcotics to cover up the pain. Instead he took X-Rays and put me through a sophisticated technologically advanced analysis of my spine. He correctly diagnosed the source of my back pain and has eliminated the pain I have been struggling with for over ten years. Dr. Scott is a good communicator and will teach about not only what is causing your back pain but how you can realistically maintain a healthy back in your daily life. At no time have I had anything but complete confidence is his knowledge of his craft and I can attest first hand to Dr. Scott's abilities. I had never been seen by a chiropractor prior to my first visit and I feel fortunate to that I made an appointment at this particular office as my overall health has much improved.

• Pros: Free parking out back, Flexible scheduling with walk in appointments, nice facility.
• Cons: Realistically Zero.

Helped me tremendously

by rhruska

About a year ago I was in a lot of pain due to complications related to scoliosis. I found myself looking at a strong possibility of invasive surgery to fuse a bunch of my vertebrae together. So I started looking at alternatives and ended up at Belltown Spine & Wellness. The results have been phenomenal.

I started out hunched over like a twisted old man at 32 and not able to sleep through the night. After months of interesting therapies involving tables, straps, weights and exercises, including things to do at home, Dr. Mindel has gotten me to the point where I'm able to be active and healthy again. I'm quite at home in the friendly and professional atmosphere at Belltown Spine & Wellness and my back has been recovering nicely. Dr. Mindel is always learning and innovating in his treatments and therapies and I think it really pays off. Besides that, I've been able to avoid a $100K+ surgery and I have an increasingly functional lower back.

Thanks BT S&W!

• Pros: Innovative, Friendly, Effective
• Cons: Dave Matthews was playing on the stereo a couple of times...

Excellent, skilled care

by mlangsen

My husband and I have been going to Belltown Spine and Wellness for about 2 months, and we're both feeling much better. I had neck problems after a car accident and I haven't had any pain since I started seeing Dr. Mendell. He uses a variety of techniques and all his patients use weights too to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine which has also made a huge difference.

I just started seeing Dr. Sutton as well for acupuncture and have noticed marked improvements already. The staff and doctors are very professional and both Dr. Mendell and Dr. Sutton are very talented. You will be well taken care of here.

• Pros: Parking in Belltown, willing to work with your financial situation, skilled doctors
