Adam Rinde, ND

Dr. Rinde is as caring of a doctor as they come. When I see him, I feel listened to and that he has taken as much time as needed with me. It seems obvious to me that he became a doctor because he wanted to help people, and that is what he’s doing. I have seen Dr. Rinde for a variety of concerns, and he has always come up with a well thought-​out plan to help. Not only is he kind, but he is also a wealth of information, and a doctor who seems to continue to study to stay on top of the most recent and relevant research in the field. I highly recommend Dr. Rinde to anyone in search of a smart and skillful doctor who also has a kind and sensitive bedside manner.

I met with Dr. Rinde when I have lost all hope in determining what was wrong with me. I met with a myriad of «specialists» for years with no answer and no relief. I decided to try a naturopath to see what it was all about. It was the first time in 3 years that a doctor actually sat down and talked to me. He was able to fill in the gaps all of the other physicians failed to ask (or honestly didn’t have the time). I was so impressed with his honesty, communication, follow up, and more. I am happy to say I am feeling better than I have in years and I owe it all to Dr. Rinde. I highly recommend him to all of my friends and family.

I have been seeing Dr. Rinde for several years now, both at his original location in Bellevue and his new location in Kirkland. He is easy to get a hold of and is fast in responding to phone messages or e-​mails. He also accepts most major insurance without any hassle.
Dr. Rinde is an expert of physical medicine — being a big but active guy like myself can really lead to weird musculoskeletal issues. I had chronic foot, knee, back, and ankle pain to the point where half the week I couldn’t walk or get out of bed without heavy doses of prescription-​strength painkillers.
After several trips to local specialists and MDs the only answer I got was «take more of these painkillers and lose weight.» Within our first visit Dr. Rinde found that the majority of my pain was due to muscle tension and cramping in specific parts of my back and calves.
Not only did Dr. Rinde show me very clearly in my first visit how tension in those muscles were affecting my pain, he taught me some specific exercises and stretches to release to the muscles.
He also identified that I had some magnesium deficiencies which were leading to my muscles cramping more than they should. We talked about my diet and what things I could change to reduce the muscle cramping which was causing me so much pain.
After about 4 visits of Dr. Rinde working to release the muscles, some fairly priced herbs and minerals, and walking me through various stretches, I was completely pain free! Two years of agony and a stomach-​full of painkillers were gone like that, in a month — before I even had the opportunity to lose a single pound. Dr. Rinde always left me with some handouts or guides to help reinforce what we talked about between appointments.
I’ve been pain free for over a year now without spending a ton of money on drugs. The best part was that he taught me how to get myself better — unlike everyone else who tried to pump me full of prescriptions telling me to go «lose some weight.»
Now we’re working together weight loss and health and fitness, and I’ve never felt better. Dr. Rinde is a great doctor who not only takes the time to listen, but also has the scientific skills and experience to really help get you better when it counts.
