Dr. Chimes is fantastic at solving problems and helping me get back to doing what I love. He is also not hesitant to recommend others when the problem turns out to be (rarely) not something he treats. Over the last decade I have turned to Dr. Chimes for several different issues and I have never been disappointed.

Judgmental, Patients either despise or like him. He is so arrogant; I am one that despises him. He was ineffective, never gave me my diagnosis, my experience was very negative.

Went in for leg issues, he kept asking me about my back and insisted I was doing everything wrong to deal with my main condition. Wanted to do all sorts of PRP shots and physio. Later found out he had access to an MRI that I hadn't seen yet that showed my legs were not the issue. I modified one little thing in my daily life and my pain is gone with no shots or physio. Get your records, read everything, learn as much as you can.

Didn't listen, wouldn't let me finish a sentence. He was rude, intimidating and disrespectful on many levels. I should have walked out within the first 5 minutes... absolutely horrible experience.

Was very rude. In the first appointment itself, even before diagnosis he was asking if I am ok with getting an injection on my spinal cord. Eventually went with the injection that didn't help a little bit with my neck issues

Dr Chimes is an expert in his field and has an amazing staff. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and caring. I highly recommend him and his entire staff. Dr Chimes is helping me heal my back, he provides clear expectations and does his best to answer all questions. I had 2 injections from him, I appreciate that he sees his patients before and after administering the injection.. he makes me feel cared for and NOT like a number like most other DR's.

I've gone to Lake Washington Sports and Spine for multiple injuries over the last 3 years, and each time they've been extremely helpful, insightful, profession, and easy to work with. My experience with Dr. Chimes has been great, and I've also had great experiences with each of the places/people he has referred me to (physical therapy, imaging, procedures, etc.). I highly recommend Lake Washington Sports and Spine to all!
