I have been receiving chiropractic care from Dr. Lenarz off and on since 1994...he is the only doctor I have ever recommended to anyone. His knowledge of the spine and his experience in effectively adjusting it is unsurpassed. If you havent researched him...you should...he "is certified at the Advanced Instructor Level by the Blair Upper Cervical Chiropractic Society", as well as "authored, The Chiropractic Way, (Bantam Books, 2003). This was the first introductory book about chiropractic, produced by a major publisher, in the history of the chiropractic profession. He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Sherman College of Chiropractic in 1987 and he completed the Blair Chiropractic Primary and Advanced Trainer Certification in 2007. He was chosen as Chiropractor of the Year for the Blair Society in 2003. He was also awarded Chiropractor of the Year from Sherman College of Chiropractic in 2012.Lenarz is founder of The Seattle Upper Cervical Research Institute, and Health First Chiropractic, with four offices throughout Washington State, and co-founder of Dynamic Life Chiropractic, serving people in Michigan. He currently owns The Chiropractic Way Consulting firm, working with chiropractors throughout North America. Lenarz serves on the Board of Directors of the Blair Upper Cervical Society, and is a member of the Washington State Chiropractic Association, Sherman College of Chiropractic Alumni Association, and Sherman College Board of Regents. He is past Chairman of Sherman College Board of Trustees. He received the B. J. Palmer Philosophical Distinction Award at his Sherman graduation." With all that said, he is a kind, compassionate and professional human being, who approaches each client with sensitivity and focus. The goal is health...first! And he is the only chiropractor I plan to go to. Thank you Mike for my spinal health! Judy

I came to see Dr. Lenarz at Health First Chiropractic in late January, 2016, at the Capitol Hill location. I had recently undergone extensive physical therapy, nerve conduction studies, and seen a number of specialists in an effort to determine the cause of pain and numbness in my right fingers, hand, and wrist. I had my doubts about chiropractic care, having never seen a chiropractor before and not knowing much about the science behind chiropractic. However, after nearly a dozen doctors, physical therapists, and specialists couldnt determine the cause of my symptoms, and with much prompting from my fiancé, I decided to see a chiropractor. Dr. Lenarz is extremely professional, kind, and courteous. On my first visit, he took multiple x-rays of my spine and spent lots of time explaining subluxation and how chiropractic care could alleviate my symptoms. After my first adjustment, the results were almost immediate--feeling returned to my fingers, and after seeing him for several months, I am nearly symptom-free. The front desk staff has always been kind and accommodating for me, especially Linnea. Health First Chiropractic accepts my insurance, and even after Id used all of my insured visits, the per-visit price is reasonable and they even do advance-payment discounts. I like that they always have good quality tea available while I wait to see Dr. Lenarz, and the relaxation room is very relaxing. I would (and have) recommended Health First Chiropractic to many of my friends. If youre looking for a top-notch Blair chiropractor, Dr. Lenarz is excellent.

Health First Chiropractic in Seattle and Marysville has truly changed my life. Ive always been leery of chiropractic work as the stereotypical cracking and popping is unsettling and often becomes a life-long commitment. What Health First does is very different, and is specifically called Blair chiropractic. For about a year, I was struggling with headaches and migraines coming on twice a week causing me to often have to lay down at work or even go home for the day. My neck often felt like it could barely hold up my head. It was exhausting. Ive been seeing Dr. Lenarz for 6 months now, starting at weekly visits but am now at monthly visits, and I rarely get headaches and cant remember the last time I had a migraine. Plus, my head no longer feels like its going to fall off my neck. Its wonderful. I cannot thank First Health enough. So, yeah, I would recommend First Health to anyone with headaches, migraines, or general back problems. You never know, it could change your life too.

I have been going to Health First for almost 2 years now and always a great experience to go there. I feel better after going there. Dr. Beebe was wonderful for my initial care - she helped correcting my posture and the pains in my knees and back. She literally straightened me up! Dr. Lenarz has been wonderful since taking over the practice. He not only listen to what you said but why you said it. I once told him I have stiffness in my neck and shoulders because probably of sitting and staring at the computer all day long. He listened but refused to accept that as a reason for my condition. Dr. Lenarz did some adjustments to my body and I felt better after that. He’s that good (and has a cheerful personality too)! If you need to see a really good chiropractor, go see Dr. Lanarz at Health First! Oh, the staff there is super nice too!

Ive been coming here for treatment for over three years. I felt very cared for under dr Beebe and now dr Lenarz. The staff has always been helpful, professional and courteous. As a massage therapist I also feel confident referring clients, family and friends to dr Lenarz. I believe the Blaire technique of upper cervical chiropractic is safe, precise, and ultimately gives out bodies the best chance at healing from various pathologies. I really appreciate how they dont over treat here and take a lot of time to listen to your body and your personal story before touching you. Thank you health first! You guys rock.

Ive always had a weird assumption that Chiropractic care would be an uncomfortable neck cracking experience. For my first Chiropractic experience though Dr. Mychal Beebe was a really great find. The Blair technique is quite gentle and she really takes the time to run through everything you should or might want to know about the process. The staff are superb in all regards. Everything related to insurance, scheduling or changes and questions was taken care of really quickly and in an accommodating way. So all around its a really great place and experience!

Dr Lenarz, who I met through a Harborview... back surgeon. The medical surgeon recommended that I work with Dr Lenarz before considering surgery. I have had a bad back for the better part of a decade. Extreme pain was my daily experience and has completely ruined my active life. I literally did not move day to day before Health First Chiropractic. I have worked with Dr Lenarz for eight weeks...I have just spent my 10th day pain free...It is a miracle!!! I have a lot more work to do with Dr Lenarz. He is a very first class healthcare professional.

Im so happy I met Dr. Bebee at my local running store over a year ago. Within 2 months of treatment I started to see results. All of my appointments have been very thorough and she is very clear with explaining the process of treatments. Every time Ive been adjusted I feel great afterwards! My lower back aches from running have disappeared, and the best part was she fixed the alignment in my neck so no more neck pains while Im working on my laptop. You will not be disappointed. Shes a top notch chiropractor.

Ive been a patient at Health First for over a year now and can say that they have helped to improve my day to day life significantly. The doctors and staff have all been fantastic and the office is always clean and inviting. If youre looking for a Chiropractor to focus on full body alignment this is the place to go. They dont just "crack your bones." They practice the Blair method of chiropractic care to ensure that your spine is properly balanced and with it the rest of your body. Highly recommended.
