Chiropractic Patient Testimonials

Read what patients have to say about Bellevue Chiropractor Dr. Keith McGahey, and about his practice Eastside Chiropractic Group, PS.

 

“It was a matter of a short time, and very few treatments, and I was totally impressed.  My migraines were gone.  I began suffering migraines at the age of 12 years old.  They began to get worse to the point where I was actually losing my vision when they were coming on, and the medications didn’t help.  My daughter recommended I see Dr. McGahey for treatment.  He did a video fluoroscopy of my neck to try and find the cause of my headaches.  It was a matter of a short time, and very few treatments, and I was totally impressed.  My migraines were gone.”

“I was in a car accident a number of years ago and had constant pain ever since.   I had spasms that would last for days and literally make it so I couldn’t do anything for days.  I had been to a number of different chiropractors over the years and still had almost constant pain.  I was referred to Dr. McGahey and within a couple of months my back was pain free.  I can now function normally.  I can clean my house, dance, carry groceries, and enjoy life again.  He has given me my life back and I am deeply grateful.”

“I started seeing Dr. McGahey after reading about his practice using video fluoroscopy to evaluate the neck and spine.  I have had problems with headaches for many years, and more recently dizziness, so I was very interested.  My headaches lessened very soon after my treatment began, and the dizziness disappeared.  I had stopped driving my car due to fear of dizzy spells, and have now been able to resume driving.  I am very happy with the results of my treatment and can easily recommend Dr. McGahey for others needing help.”

“After only a couple of weeks of treatment for back and neck pain, I was thrilled and surprised to realize my knee pain was also gone!  It had been so severely painful for 6 months that I was not able to crawl across my bed or even move my leg without intense pain.  I went up and down stairs one step at a time, favoring the painful knee.  I am walking straighter now, feel more balanced and have much less pain then when I came in.  And I appreciate the early morning office hours that fit into my work schedule conveniently.  If you are wavering over whether or not chiropractic treatment will help you, trust me.  Choosing Dr. McGahey will be one of the best decisions of your life.”

“In July I took a motorcycle trip with a bunch of friends.  During this trip I began experiencing severe pain in my neck.  This pain re-occurred each day during our ride and was so bad that it almost ended our trip.  When I returned home I told my brother about the pain I had experienced and he suggested I see Dr. McGahey at Eastside Chiropractic Group.  I was very wary as I had never been to a chiropractor.  I saw him for a consultation and had several sessions with him before we went on our next motorcycle trip.  It all boils down to Dr. McGahey being a miracle worker. The second trip was wonderful with absolutely NO pain in my neck.  A big thank you to the good doctor!”

“I still live on the north end but will always take the time to drive to Dr. McGahey because he is so good at what he does. I couldn't ask for anything more in a care provider.  I started seeing Dr. McGahey after a car accident. I had been seeing another chiropractor for the first 6 months and got very little relief from a shoulder and back injury.

A friend of mine suggested I go see Dr. McGahey.  At the time I was living in Everett and he is in Bellevue and wasn't sure about the drive, but since I was in desperate need of getting better I went. As it turned out I started getting more relief and healing from my injuries only a couple months after starting my treatment with him.  He was very personable and comfortable to talk with and he listened to all my concerns. In the long run at the end of my treatment I fully recovered from my injuries.

Since then I have had a few other times where I have needed his treatment and have recovered fully each time.  I still live on the north end but will always take the time to drive to Dr. McGahey because he is so good at what he does. I couldn't ask for anything more in a care provider.”

“Dr. McGahey made me feel very comfortable and at ease from the start. I don't think I could say enough about him. I know you wont regret choosing him for care.  I was in a very bad car accident some years ago and had tried physical therapy, chiropractic, stretching, medications etc. Anything anyone had told me I should try and still was getting no relief.  I was having a hard time getting out of bed at all.

My brother told me about Dr. McGahey and said that if I went to see him and it didn't help he would pay for all my visit expenses to get me to go. I haven't looked back since then.  After seeing Dr. McGahey not only was I able to function and take care of myself again but found more pain relief than the medicine or other treatments ever gave me. The best part is not only is he a great doctor but a very good person and very easy to work with.  

Sometimes its hard enough just finding someone who knows what they are doing but when you can get excellent treatment and a great personality all in one thats definately the way to go. Dr. McGahey made me feel very comfortable and at ease from the start. I don't think I could say enough about him. I know you won’t regret choosing him for care.”

“He has been one of the most compassionate and friendly doctors I have had the pleasure to be treated by.  I became a patient of Dr. Keith McGahey's in 2000 when my wife received a recommendation from a coworker who had been treated by him.  I began seeing Dr. McGahey for mid back pain due to an unresolved weight lifting accident sustained in 1988 and exacerbated by subsequent automobile accidents. 

Dr. McGahey’s treatment, referrals to other health care providers and the applied tools given to me allowed me to reach a state of health that I had not had in many years.  I was able to engage in activities that I no longer believed I could participate in.  Dr. McGahey has promised he would see me whenever I felt it was necessary, and he has always honored that promise. 

He has been one of the most compassionate and friendly doctors I have had the pleasure to be treated by.  Dr. McGahey is a man who really cares and will do whatever he can to improve your health.  I consider him to be a good doctor and friend whom God has blessed me with. I highly recommend his services if you have a need.”

“I have never experienced a treatment regime that I felt was as effective as Dr. McGahey's in both mitigating my discomfort and increasing my overall sense of physical well-being.I have been a consumer of chiropractic treatment periodically for over 20 years, primarily to treat occasional flair-ups of chronic low-back and neck pain and stiffness, utilizing the services of five different practitioners including your office. In that time, I have never experienced a treatment regime that I felt was as effective as Dr. McGahey's in both mitigating my discomfort and increasing my overall sense of physical well-being. Your initial examination and explanation gave me a far better understanding of the changes my body was experiencing as I age and what I could do to maintain comfort and flexibility. 

The most pleasant surprise was the lack of immediate discomfort associated with adjustments in comparison to my previous experiences, which must be attributed to your skill, technique and the investment you’ve made in advanced equipment.  Finally, the administrative practices employed by your office have made it easy to fit treatment into my schedule, to a far greater degree than any other medical services I’ve utilized previously, and your flexibility in this regard is deeply appreciated.”

“On Thursday, February 11, 2006, my six-year-old daughter, Ryan was transported to Children’s Hospital in Seattle.Because Ryan’s pain was so severe (actually screaming and crying) she was admitted and monitored overnight.  On Friday evening we were discharged, but Ryan’s pain was only slightly better than when she was admitted. We were advised to give her Tylenol and to begin a four-week regimen of Zantac. 

On Saturday morning, after another sleepless night, Ryan continued to complain about pain in her chest area. I was comfortable with not returning to her cardiologist because I knew that it was not heart pain that she was feeling, but I also know that her pain was extremely real.  Late Saturday morning, I left a message for Dr. McGahey at Eastside Chiropractic Group in Bellevue. It was such a pleasant surprise to get a return phone call almost immediately.

Once we arrived at the office we discussed Ryan’s medical history and what had occurred over the last 48 hours.  I mentioned that Ryan had fallen hard twice off her scooter earlier in the week.  After Dr. McGahey gave Ryan a preliminary exam, he had me feel her back. The muscles on her back (directly in line with the pain in her chest) were tight and rippled.

Dr. McGahey talked with Ryan and explained what an adjustment was and why it might help her to feel better.  He was extremely gentle with the procedure and she experienced no pain whatsoever.  To my amazement, Ryan walked out of the office completely pain free. I could not believe that after just one adjustment the results would be so dramatic. I’ll admit that I was a bit skeptical when I initially brought Ryan in because she was in so much pain. It was hard to believe that such a seemingly simple procedure would be able to take that pain away after we’d spent 36 hours in the hospital to no avail. 

Since that first adjustment, Ryan has continued to be pain free and is eating a normal diet with no limitations.  I am so grateful to Dr. McGahey and Eastside Chiropractic Group because now instead of just masking Ryan’s pain we are now dealing with the root problem so that it may possibly never occur again.”
