After two years of dealing with a brain injury and endless migraines. I went from doc. To doc. And all kinds of therapy. I felt like I wasn’t being heard and everyone was telling me what I couldn’t do. I came to RIW and they changed the Narrative, all the sudden I was pushed to do more. They helped me set applicable goals and pushed me to where I want to be . If you come into this program with an open mind and and a willingness to work hard you will succeed

Staff were professional and friendly. Following Covid guidelines while helping individuals get back to their health.

Amazing therapists and stuff

OMG so happy I found this place. Unbelievable staff and services. If you have had a serious injury I highly recommend checking RIW out. Beyond Friendly staff, great therapists , they cover not only physical therapy but they cover all aspects including cognitive therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and much more . If I could give 50 stars I would. Unbelievably thankful for this great place.

I went in for an assessment for a mTBI. The doctor and psychologist I saw provided terrible care, aweful bedside manner, and as brain injury specialists did not seem to know much about brain injuries at all.The doctor I saw, Dr. Chong did not give me the time of day during my examination, spoke rapidly, didnt listen to my answers (and would incorrectly summarize what I said), interrupted me, was short, rude, and showed little to no care. After an actual exam of about 5min or less and an interview in which he didnt listen to me in which he determined I didnt have, and never had a TBI, although I was diagnosed with it by 3 different doctors (including a neurologist) and exhibited tons of TBI symptoms.The neur-psychologist I did my neuro-psych exam with made me feel like i was lying or making things up the whole time, even though what I was expressing were/are normal TBI symptoms (mood changes, irritability, vision changes). After telling her that it was hard to read she insisted i fill out some very personal surveys with a ton of questions and just had the front desk staff ask them to me. Which is terrible care, because of how personal the questions were, and because I intentionally had a support person come with me to help with paperwork and she gave them to me after the support person left, and insisted i complete them. (The front desk staff was very kind and helpful, though)Furthermore they do not offer Vision Therapy, which can be an important aspect of TBI recovery.Overall it was a horrendous experience in which I was not listened to, made to feel like I was lying or making things up, was treated highly disrespectfully and belittled, and was gaslit.It was aweful. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

I am so grateful to my surgeon for sending me to RIW! The staff there are top notch, know what theyre doing and can be trusted with your care. In July of 2018 I walked into RIW using a cane and in extreme pain. I started in their work conditioning program, but they quickly determined that was not the right fit for me and switched me to the pain management program, which was a great fit for me. Their doctors, physical and occupational therapists, psychologists, vocational rehab counselors and staff know what they are doing. When you are a patient there you are treated with great care and supported by your own team of experts who help you to do the work it takes to truly rehabilitate. I walked in to RIW with a cane and in extreme pain, worked hard, learned a great deal, graduated from their pain management program and walked out after my final follow-up appointment in December 2018 with no cane, feeling little to no pain and ready to live life. I am so grateful for this amazing group of people, truly grateful!!

RIW is the worst place in America. Avoid this place at all costs if you have a choice. Their doctors are unethical. They are liars. They say you should have no pain after 4 weeks. There is no treatment or rehab. They play a game of good cop, bad cop. They watch every move you make and write reports about it. They are very intimidating and phony. Tracy is a racist and the most arrogant person you will ever meet. He made racist remarks in front of 15 patients in the gym. Dr. Kroll is unethical. She works against medical evidence. In fact she sabotages medical treatment. She denies what she tells you. Every negative review about this place is true. I could write a book about my awful experience. RIW is a boot camp not a rehab place. They are after the big money and they dont give a damn about patients.

Tomorrow I graduate from what I refer to as my mental, emotional and physical Navy Seals Boot Camp!3 months of physical therapy, 8 hours a day for last 3 months @ Rehabilitation Institute Of Washington in Seattle. Incredible place. Many helped to make this really hurt old guy whole and young again...They broke me down but they didnt let me fall. My mind and body are now one. Broken back 2 years made my brain afraid of pain. It was too intense, it was too much pain.RIW got me back... I felt remnants of a 6 month kidney/UTI infection for first time 2 weeks ago. I felt no symtoms. Pain from broken back overshadowed everything. Now almost off all meds. 18 years. No more chronic pain. For 3 months, I was well taken care of there. And at home too. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. We made it!They all gave me and taught me the tools so I can heal myself . As of now, I have no injuries, only bruises and bruises sooner or later disappear, just like my past 18 years is long enough. Now gonna start a new healthy life no past life, just a new adventure everyday.Words cannot express how grateful I am to have been here. All the people here are my right angles 📐.Tomorrow, no today, is 1st day of an incredibly great life I have. Looking forward to it! But sad... good sad. Im the Icream man! Bad Humor.. ha...

I sustained a traumatic spinal cord injury with subsequent cauda equina diagnosis while doing demolitions work ...This condition leaves one with little choice other than drastic measures to save what can be saved in terms of body mechanics ,and nerve function .. I was in the best shape of my life starring down the barrel of a three level spinal fusion ,and five hernia repairs ... After the dust settled from my surgeries I found my self lacking the proper tools to move forward in a positive manner ...Im glad I gave R.I.W. a chance ..Im glad I gave myself a chance to learn new skills in coping with my new body . I was given tools to help cope with the trauma that I had been through both physically ,and mentally .. By a staff that is genuinely invested in your progress . I cannot stress enough how thankful my family ,and I are for the time ,and effort given to my case by the caring ,and knowledgeable staff members at R.I.W.Thanks you . Rehabilitation institute of WashingtonGive yourself a chance .Give them a chance .You are worth it !!

Although not all the way gone the RIW treatment helped minimize frequency of the the swelling and discoloration in my foot that the CRPS causes. Unfortunately the extreme pain is still an all day everyday reality for me. But the doctors and therapists at RIW have been and still are a big help in dealing with my CRPS...

Saved my life found myself and then some at. R.I.W

Good people, helpful and very friendly

Dr.Kroll is amazing!!!

Went above and beyond to help me.
