Higher Health Chiropractic

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Pauline Haugen! She was recommended to me by a co-​worker in 2014 and I really appreciate her working with my insurance and budget! Unlike SOME providers, she really listens and works with you and your medical issues.
She is very thorough, and in my opinion, she is an excellent provider! This is HANDS DOWN the BEST chiropractic clinic that I have ever been to in my whole life!
Higher Health Chiropractic is definitely worth the drive to Bellevue ;)

Ahhhhhhhh
That’s all I can say. Thank goodness I saw them this morning — back, neck and shoulders feel so much better. Nice for an middle aged man who is struggling to stay active to have a serious doc with a athletic background (she’s an ex track star).

If you are looking for a Chiropractor in Seattle/​Bellevue area, Dr. Pauline Haugen at Higher Health Chiropractic is the best! The super friendly support staff is amazing! They are all extremely wonderful and inspiring.

I had an appointment with Dr. Libatique to hopefully help my chronic headaches. The office was modern and clean and the office manager was friendly and sweet. Dr. Libatique took me into one of the rooms and got me to relax as I was nervous, since it was my first time seeing a chiropractor. She was very knowledgeable and professional. Right after I laid on the treatment table, I felt at ease. After a long drive, I was very tense and anxious and already felt another headache coming. However, soon after my treatment, I felt rested and loose and my headache was gone. Will definitely visit this clinic again, the staff are welcoming and they know their stuff!

I have been a patient of Dr. Haugen’s for about three months and I couldn’t be happier with the treatment! I practice yoga and since the treatments. I have seen a dramatic increase in my balance, posture, and overall health of my body. I always leave her office feeling great! I would recommend her to all of my friend and family or anybody who is looking for top notch care!

I have been a patient since late 2013 and absolutely love Dr. Haugen. She has treated me for neck pain, and my pain has significantly gone down. She is always friendly, easy to talk to, and explains how to get the best results though massage and at home stretches to maximize the benefits of treatment.

This was saved as a 5 Star Rating on my original Post and I want to continue to give a 5+ rating. Outstanding!
I suffered from a compressed L1 fracture for 3 years. I tried everything, from Physical Therapy-​they told me that is as good as I would get for recovering, 6 months after my accident. I tried another Chiropractor and he only did cranial sacral work. I spent a lot of money out of pocket, just trying to find a care giver that cared, most did not care. A friend that I worked with and went on walks with, could see I would keep trying, even though I was in so much pain. She referred me to Higher Health Chiropractic in July 2014 and I followed the plan faithfully going 3x’s a week. Within a month I started to feel so much better. Before seeing Pauline and Deanna I couldn’t bend properly with out pain or limitation. I was in constant pain. When I sat at work all day I would end up lying on the floor all evening, because I was in so much pain. I no longer come home and lie on the floor. I now feel I have my life back. I find my self saying, WOW, I remember when I couldn’t do this or that or how little I could do in a day. I love the decompression as I do feel it is getting the scar tissue unstuck. I am truly amazed by the results I have achieved in this very short time. I also am having a great year at work. When you are not in pain, you can actually have a positive attitude and be happy to be at work and friendly to others! I can’t thank both Pauline and Deanna for the New Life I have. The office staff is always helpful and personable. I highly recommend anyone having pain to see them immediately. There is no reason to be in pain any longer. Get you life back, quickly! Following the plan is a must! Also, a comment to the person that blamed them for her insurance not covering the services. This person and every person, needs to be responsible for knowing their own insurance plan. Don’t blame others!
Thank you Pauline and Deanna for caring for me and giving me hope and never giving up on me. When someone genuinely cares for your well being, this helps in the healing!!!

I have had chronic neck pain for my adult life. I was introduced to Dr. Pauline Haugen and have been receiving treatment for about a year and a half now. Her treatments have «significantly» improved the health of my neck (much more so that other chiro offices I have been to over the years) — it has completely stopped the degeneration of the vertebrae in and even reversed some of the effects in my cervical spine! Coupling monthly treatments with a regular yoga practice, daily stretching, and a healthy lifestyle has changed the quality of my life! I very highly recommend Dr. Pauline and the Higher Health Chiropractic office. She truly cares about doing her best to help me with each and every treatment. I am so thankful to have found Higher Health Chiropractic!

I sincerely do not recommend going here, especially if you depend on insurance to help you with the financial burden. They told me services were covered by my insurance with a copay that I paid at each visit but then over a year later sent me a bill for additional charges.
They initially billed my services wrong to my insurance company, as out of network even though they were in network. Every time they said they would try to rebill it and talk with the insurance company they said they would let me know what happened. They never contacted me but when I contacted them I was told on multiple occasions that it was completely taken care of. However, they would not contact me again and much later send me another bill with additional fees and interest. This happened 3 – 4 times.
This has been going on for over two years now and they were sending my bill to collections so I had to pay it to avoid this negatively affecting my credit. I think this is a highly unethical company and just put all blame on the insurance company. I would never recommend this place to a friend and highly regret ever coming here.

I have been seeing Dr. Pauline Haugen since spring 2013. I was fortunate to find the practice through a livingsocial deal and I’m so grateful that I did. My neck and back pain has significantly diminished and I truly appreciate the well-​balanced, healthy lifestyle, total body approach approach. Not only is Dr. Haugen a wonderful chiropractor but she’s kind and personable and the office has a great vibe! I have also seen both Kristin D and Kristin T and would recommend either of them for a great massage!

Get the most out of your time and money.
With years of back pain, and misconceptions of Chiropractic care, a friend recommended Higher Health Chiropractic in Bellevue. Being a bit skeptical, I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Pauline Haugen, and wish I would’ve started care years ago.
Dr. Haugen reviewed my x-​rays, described how the areas of concern were impacting my way of life, and what she could do to treat my ailment. She provided a clear plan of treatment, and an incredible amount of information to ensure I was completely comfortable with my decision. During the first few visits, Dr. Haugen explained each technique, continued to educate me, and answered questions.
The weeks of adjustments have flown by. Keeping appointments are easy with Dr. Haugen’s bubbly and positive personality, a clean office, and friendly and professional staff.
Now on the way to recovery, thanks to Dr. Haugen, I have better range of motion, improved posture, and awareness of the health benefits of chiropractic care.
If you’re looking for relief whether due to an accident, or the nuisance of chronic pain, it’s worth your time and health to visit Dr. Haugen.

I have been going to Higher Health for over a year now.
I first started there seeing Kristin as my massage therapist. I still continue to see her every few weeks, and love her. She is such a sweetheart, and really does a wonderful job. It’s important to feel comfortable with someone who knows you so intimately, and I am definitely comfortable with Kristin. After so long she knows all my problem areas, and always takes such good care of them.
In January after dealing with months of debilitating headaches, I finally made an appt with Dr Haugen. I was hesitant because I haven’t heard wonderful things about Chiropractors, and was worried. The moment I walked in she knew EXACTLY what was wrong. We took some x-​rays, which confirmed my slight scoliosis and my neck pain. Over the next few months with her regular adjustments, and the exercises she prescribed me, I was able to straighten out my back, and almost completely eliminate my neck/​head pain. I only see her every month or so now, for regular adjustments, and she has taught me how to pay attention to my body.
I don’t have experience with any other Chiropractors, but I have been very happy with Pauline, and her sister Deanna. They work different days, so make sure and schedule your appts based off which Doctor you want to see, but both have been great with my adjustments.

I got into an accident about a year ago in CA. The other car ran the red and t-​boned me full speed. I had treatment on it then but I started to feel pain again in my neck and back recently. So I saw Dr. Pauline Haugen and she made feel better and better each week! She took an x-​ray of my spine to see exactly what is the diagnosis. (Never go to a chiropractor who doesn’t use x-​rays!) Then she proposed a program to start the healing process. It’s been 10 weeks since I started and I feel so much better now so I told my wife about Dr. Haugen because she is having some back pains too. My wife never wanted to go to a chiropractor because she was intimidated but I told her about how Dr. Haugen has a gentler style with great results. My wife now sees both Dr. Haugen and Dr. Mutzel and can’t wait for her treatments!
Dr. Haugen also has great tips for stretches and exercises to help you keep your neck and back feeling good.

I wish I could make a review for the care and the front desk part separately.
I would give Dr. Haugen 4.5 stars. I loved her! She was very caring and made my back feel a million times better every time I saw her. The only thing I wasn’t a huge fan of is being swapped between her and her sister, because I definitely became accustomed to Dr. Haugen, and felt uncomfortable and sore after her sisters adjustment of my back. I had also met Kristin, and unfortunately I never got to see her. But she was very kind!
The downside. I had to run around like a chicken with my head cut off to figure out how to get them to fill out the paperwork to allow my insurance to accept their claims. They put me on a payment plan, which sounded very kind and great of them at the time, but it turned out to be a big pain in the back. They still have not filed the correct paperwork, and the paperwork they did return, was not signed OR filled out correctly. For about 2.5 months, I was paying out of pocket (on below teacher salary), expecting them to fill out the forms my insurance had sent to them multiple times (shouldve known better). Luckily for me, I found a way after digging and prodding, to ensure my insurance accepted all the claims (7 months later), and eventually I will get reimbursed to having to pay WAY too much. All of this turned me away from chiropractic care as a whole. I feel as though one of their main front office staff members had no idea what she was doing. Quite unfortunate. I recommended this office when I was first being seen, but after all the financial junk, I wouldn’t want anyone to jump through the millions of hoops to get them to file the appropriate claims to insurance. Very fishy.

I had plantar fasciitis from walking improperly for many year. I had gone to PT for several months with only limited success Dr. Haugen has been able to reduce my plantar pain almost down to zero (I only feel it a little bit after a hard workout and that pain goes away after doing her recommended exercises) She has treated my body in its entirety and I feel so much better. My only complaint is that she’s not in Seattle and I have to make the trek over to the eastside but it’s well worth it!
