I have had TMJ with major jaw discomfort for 10 years. I wasn't aware that there was actually a remedy for this. So tired of dealing with it, and needing to go to the dentist, I ...

I chose Dr. Markos specifically because of the great reviews on the internet. After going to her for a while, and not getting any positive results, I thought it made sense to wri...

Simply The Best 6/26/2007

I had lived with chronic back pain for 20 years before I found Cheri Markos. I had been to a variety of doctors, surgeons, physical therapists and other chiropractors, ranging from good to useless. In my experience, Cheri Markos is the best in the field. After some very effective and sensitive treatment, I felt whole for the first time in years.. At this point, she has fixed my pain to the point that I only go every now and then after a strain or injury. The quality of my life has dramatically improved. I would recommend her to anybody (and I frequently do). Pros: Good parking, Friendly, Thorough. Cons: Too far from my house (and I would drive three times as far.) more

Best Chiropractor 5/18/2007

I have been receiving chiropractic care for 25 years now and have visited many chiropractors in that time. I have come to believe that Cheri Markos is the best chiroprator that I have patronized. She truly listens to your description of your aches, pains, needs, and concerns and then follows through with a complete session. She is one of the few chiroprators that I know of that can address all parts of the human body and is especially knowledgeable and skilled with the extremities (arms, legs, feet, hands, etc.). She really helped my shoulders, elbows, knees,and even my jaw to name just some of my problem areas. more

Dr. Markos does amazing muscle work that got me back on my feet! 5/10/2007

When I first visited Dr. Markos my back was in full spasm. She thought I had been in a severe car accident. She asked me 3 times if I was sure I had not had a car accident. The severity of my back, left hip, both feet, and neck were so out of place that I couldn't sit, lay down or stand without severe pain. I had been living in pain for 12 years. I had gone to 5 other chiropractors with no relief. I was unable to work and was becoming depressed from chronic pain. Dr. Markos' technics literally unwound my body muscle by muscle. I saw her 5 days a week for a solid month (my choice) and saw astounding results. Eventually I could last an entire day on my feet, then several days. It was a huge day in my life when I could walk to the end of the block and the 2nd big day was when I could actually walk around the block. I am proud to say that I can now walk for miles, do yard work, lift things, practice my yoga, lift weights, and sing freely again. more

Great chiropractor! 5/1/2007

Dr. Markos is an outstanding chiropractor who has helped me to overcome minor and severe back and neck pain. She has also successfully adjusted my wrist, knee and foot joints, which I've never had worked on before. She takes the time to consult with her patients to fully understand what their needs are. I highly recommend her services. more

Best Chiropractor 4/28/2007

My father was a chiropractor and when I was growing up I got regular adjustments. When he passed away, there was no chiropractor I trusted to work on me. After many years, I injured my back and and had to seek help. Fortunately, Dr. Markos was the doctor I came to and she helped me tremendously. I was in so much pain I wondered if I would ever walk again. But she got me up and around in a short time. She will always be the one I turn to when I over do it. more

Excellent for pregnancy and post-partum!!! 4/19/2007

Dr. Markos has a rich background in wellness-related disciplines, including massage therapy, rehabilitation, developmental physical education, and chiropractic care. She brings all of this to her practice. I saw her during both of my pregnancies. During my second pregnancy, in particular, I had a lot of issues with my sacrum and pelvis and her adjustments made a world of difference, particularly during the third trimester. The biggest help was post-partum. After my natural homebirth, I went to Dr. Markos and she realigned my pelvic bones and brought me such relief! I highly recommend seeing Dr. Markos during pregnancy and the postpartum weeks. My husband and I both continue to see Dr. Markos, and she cares for our 2 year old and newborn as well! more

Great Person Fabulous Doctor 4/18/2007

When I first started seeing Dr.Markos I was nervous about being adjusted, she took the extra time to figure out what worked best for my issues and my body. Her adjustments are tailored to meet my individual needs, and gentle. I came to Dr.Markos with trepedation and alot of pain and limited flexibility. My pain has subsided and my flexibility and posture have improved. What I like best about Dr.Markos is she really does treat the whole person, not just symptoms. Pros: Easy Parking, close to Freeway Cons: ???? more

Best chiropractor on the planet! 4/18/2007

My shoulder, neck muscles, and upper back were constantly sore and aching. I was not able to put my right arm behind my back without pain. My right shoulder blade felt like a needle was being pushed into it Putting my right arm behind my back really hurt. My right wrist hurt, and the fingers on my right hand would go numb for a few seconds at a time. I was turning into a crabby old woman. For the past four months I had been going to a massage therapist, a chiropractor, and an osteopath in order to get a few days of pain free relief, to no avail. I had almost given up trying to find a doctor that could really help me. Giving it one last try, I went on line to my medical insurance web site and found Dr. Cheri Markos at the top of the list. I called her office and made an appointment. For the first appointment, Dr. Markos talked to me for an entire hour - in order to find out how to make treat me. Let me ask you, when was the last time a doctor talked to you for an entire hour? Then, after the first session of treatment, I was sore, but, was able to move my right arm and shoulder in a complete circle, able to circle my right wrist in a complete circle, and able to put my right arm behind my back and touch my left shoulder blade with my thumb, without pain or stiffness. Also, I found out that I had been going around with lower back pain, (without realizing it because of the pain in my right shoulder, upper right back, and arm was so intense), My lower back pain is gone! I am so happy to have found Dr Markos! :) I highly recommend Dr. Cheri Markos, and have been telling all of my friends and co-workers about her. If you want to be healed, go to the best chiropractor on this planet - Dr. Cheri Markos! more

Chronic Pain Finally Relieved! 4/13/2007

I have had chronic neck and back pain for YEARS, and I have a complicated health history. I have seen several chiropractors and other specialists and Cheri has brought me more relief in a few months than anyone else has in many years! She is insightful, gentle, kind, and intuitive. Your body, heart and mind will benefit from a visit to Cheri! We need more health care providers like her. Pros: Easy parking, friendly staff, easy to find more

Where is the pain? 4/12/2007

I first arrived by accident to the North City Chircopractic. My first impression was alright I'm scared, I've never been to a chiropactor before and I didn't know if it would hurt to realign my bones. I was in a car accident where a semi-truck knicked the car and ended up hitting the car sending us in a 540 degree spin. Pros: Friendly staff, Great Service, Understanding, Proffessional, Will Help you out with all your needs Cons: Waiting Room is usually busy, So get your Apt. Now or you'll be missing out on a great doctor. more

Excellent listener, compassionate care-giver, committed, skilled AND NICE! 4/11/2007

Dr. Markos was a real life-saver for me recently. I was working in the greater Seattle area for a six week period and went into a crisis that resulted in massive muscle spasms in my neck, upper back, jaw, etc. I was literally paralyzed, in terrible pain and frightened. It took consistent care over several visits, but she was able to help me get back on my feet, as well as make suggestions about other doctors and diciplines that might help. I ended up consulting an endocrinologist as well as a myofascial pain physician. The entire episode was consciousness-raising in the extreme. Throughout she was concerned, communicative, excellent with follow-up (I never had to chase her around for answers), and has continued to offer support from afar, once I returned to the East coast. She's a gem. Pros: Affordable, good hours more

Rapid result 4/11/2007

I went to see Dr Markos after years of back and neck pain. It was getting to where I could no longer ignore it. I was having extreme nerve pain down the back of my right leg. After my first visit, the nerve pain in my leg was gone and my back was no longer stiffening me up. I would recommend Dr Markos to anyone with pain. more

Best Chiropractor I have ever been too! 4/10/2007

I am new to the PNW. Cheri was a referral from a co-worker. Since I have had much Chiro work done in the past, I was nervous to go to a new Dr. To my great delight, my experience was wonderful. Cheri is amazing with amazing intuition about people. Her bedside manner is wonderful and the work done has been the best Chiro work of my life! Words cannot describe the relief I have felt now that I have found a great Doctor. North City Chiropractic - both Cheri and the staff - have been fexible with getting me appointments that work with my schedule. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I will be a customer for life. Pros: Great Chiro Work - Amazing Results! Cons: Depending on where you live - it might be a drive... but worth it! more

this woman ROCKS! 4/9/2007

as someone familiar with bodywork, I was wary of chiropractors...I had heard all the horror stories and more. after meeting with and being treated by Dr Markos, I now highly endorse chiropractic care and ESPECIALLY Dr Markos! Her hours are varied, the parking at her office is always good, her staff is cheerful and Dr Markos is not only a skilled practitioner but a very caring one. I would highly recommend her to everyone, whether they have a big problem or just a little ache or pain. I have been a patient of hers for about 5 years now, and I cannot imagine NOT having her on my list of people who take care of me! more

fast results! 4/5/2007

I found Dr. Cheri Markos on citysearch through the reviews and I'm glad that I did. After being in a minor car accident and experiencing lower back pain a day later I decided to go see her. The time period for my recovering was set to 8 to 10 weeks i believe, and within that time period everything has gone as planned without any setbacks! In my case, i've had minimal treatment with my lower back and shoulder (1-2 times a week), yet i've been able to recover better than expected! Reliability is something i treasure with her practice! more

Best Chiropractor in Greater Seattle Area! 4/3/2007

In 1961, I saw my first chiropractor when they were considered quacks. I was a birth trauma baby and my neck was tilted back and all the doctors said nothing could be done. My mother took me to a chiropractor when I was 9 months old and my neck was corrected. With that said, I believe that all babies should be adjusted soon after birth because so many major childhood illnesses can be cured with a chiropractic adjustment. As well, it improves the immune system. She is wonderful with babies and children. Pros: Gets you in quickly, compassionate, parking is great more

Quality Health Care 3/15/2007

I have chronic upper back pain that is aggravated by the 'keyboard hunch' I sit in all day. I've been to more than one chiropractor in Seattle and stopped going because A) they weren't fixing the pain and B) I felt like all they wanted was to treat me until my insurance ran out. When I was recommended to Dr. Markos through a family member, I was skeptical but needy. And what a breath of fresh air! She listened to me and after a few weeks of adjustments, I was feeling GREAT. And here's the best part - this is when she said that I didn't need to come back until I felt like I needed to! All the others wanted to get me on a twice a week regime and run out my insurance. I am so glad I found Dr. Markos and would highly recommend her to anyone! It is such a releif to be pain-free. Pros: Parking is great, equipment is the latest, Dr. Markos! Cons: Can't think of any... more
