I'm a huge fan of Dr. Haggquist. I saw him several times a few years ago and just came back today (the hiatus was due to my own reasons). He had clearly taken time to read over all his notes so we could pick up basically where we left off. I was quite impressed.

Throughout every visit, he listens closely and explains thoroughly. I particularly like his attitude -- he comes across as super nerdy and not at all arrogant, like he gets to geek out about musculoskeletal issues all day and loves his life because of it. He always brings an assistant with him for the visit, which has two positive effects (1) the assistant takes thorough notes throughout while he gives you his full attention; and (2) as a young woman, I can feel comfortable letting him do all the physical assessments and interventions with impunity. (And, for the record, he's clearly in it for the muscle tightness). He finds problematic muscles quite quickly.

Dr. H is clearly very knowledgeable about musculoskeletal issues. Our first visit, he gave me a diagnosis I'd gotten before from a rheumatologist but nobody else (after several doctors). The dx completely explained the overall trend of my issues, and Dr. H explained it to me much better than the previous doctor had.

I've been going to him for back pain. In the first two or so visits, he gave me special kind of stretches to do. I've been doing them for over a year and experienced great improvement. He's also adjusted the course of treatment because he knows my terrible insurance doesn't cover the visits. Yes, it's expensive, but it's also clear where the money goes: A large office, lots of necessary equipment, a personal assistant, etc.

TDLR: Earnest attentive doctor who knows his musculoskeletal stuff. Expensive. Worth it.

Too expensive for me, but sounds like great service. Fee-for-service provider, so out of network. I don't have enough in the bank account to cover the initial appointment unfortunately.
