“Really nice Chiropractor. I've been to a couple of them and some give you crazy expensive treatment plans that dont work, but he is straight to the point and realistic. He made me feel very comfortable and explained everything clearly. It seems like he has quite a bit of experience because he was able to almost immediately identify some of my issues intuitively that some other chiros were never able to. Overall nice office and very little wait time. He legit schedules people one by one. Designated parking in the back.”

I value and respect your time by not overbooking patients. Only one patient is scheduled per time slot because I believe patients should not wait in a reception area for doctors who overbook visits and then rush patients in and out. Your time is valuable, and you deserve quality care without feeling rushed.

*OFFICE POLICY FOR ALL PATIENTS*

DR. Brokstein is amazing. Took the time to explain things to me and to go over my exams. I learned so much from my first visit and feel a lot better. I can’t wait to be back!

I decided to visit Dr. Brokstein after many, many months of living with neck and shoulder pain. My son went to Dr. Brokstein years ago and has been trying to get me to make an appointment for a very long time. I finally gave in and am I glad I finally did. My first impression of Dr. Brokstein was how welcoming he is. He made me feel very comfortable and carefully listened to all my issues. He seemed very confident that he could help me with my neck and shoulder issues. With each visit I could feel my range of motion increasing and my pain decreasing. If I was uncomfortable with any adjustment he was doing he would immediately stop. He never pushed it too far, which I've heard from so many friends about other chiropractors. He always listens to what you need and how you feel.
I highly recommend Dr. Brokstein. Don't be stubborn and wait as long as I did to finally make an appointment. I will never regret going to Dr. Brokstein, the only thing I regret is I waited so long!

It was nice to see a doctor that respects the appointment time I had set. I was taken in within minutes and received a thorough exam and treatment I am thankful for Dr. Brokstein

A refreshing visit to a doctors office. I was seen on time and I like that Dr. Russell does everything one on one. No handing off to other staff or doctors.
I've been to other chiropractors and this was the most thorough exam from head to toe. Other chiropractors, the visits would be a minute or two. Dr. Russell takes the time to address my issues and also showed me home stretching. He also has videos on his website in case I forget how to do the stretches.
I finally have hope to feeling better and improving my health naturallly

Dr. Brokstein is by far the best chiro I have ever had. We moved from Seattle 3 years ago and I had awesome chiros there. I just had to go for maintenance every 3-4 months there. Once we moved here, I tried a few but all they wanted was to put me on the electrical machine and massage with minimal adjustments. I was never pain free.
I met Dr Brokstein and he was better than the Chiropractors I have worked with in Seattle area. His is not a assembly line practice and for the whole duration of your stay its him working on you. Not some trainee massaging. I didnt even know I couldnt move my neck freely both sides or my shoulders. He fixed it in one visit and now I am feeling much more mobile than I have felt in last 3 years. Feel bad I did not find Dr. Brokstein much earlier.

While I was in the state correction academy. I injured my neck during a training exercise. That weekend I called Dr. Brockstein and he immediately took me in. Dr. Brockstein not only adjusted my neck, but also my back. I immediately felt relief I have been to other chiropractors and never had such thorough exam and treatment. He also stretches my legs which has significantly improved my flexibility. I highly recommend Dr. Brockstein to everyone.

My visit is always great! I never wait and I am out in 15 minutes. My headaches went from everyday to once a week and my neck is much better. Dr. Brockstein also worked my jaw for my TMJ, and my sinuses.

Dr. Brokstein made me feel comfortable from my first appt. He explained the test & result thoroughly to me, answered all of my questions. He explained his method of treatment which was much more in depth than other chiropractors I've seen before. I would recommend Dr. Brokstein to friends & family!

Before I started visiting doctor Brokstein, I was suffering from back and knee issues. It prevented me from playing sports and participating at work. After the first couple of sessions I felt the difference in the injured areas. The stretches that he performed and showed me helped a tremendous amount and I will continue to do them in order to prevent any more injuries.

I found Dr. Brokstein online. I was seeing a previous chiro with out getting results. Dr. Brokenstein has provided with relief of not only my low back & hip pain but also relief of my vertigo. He also has helped my husband's low back pain & my daughter's back pain & migraines. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
