“Dr. Barlas is a highly skilled chiropractor with a warm and friendly manner. His office is in a convenient location by Lake Union. His wife is the office manager and she’s as warm and friendly as he is. The office is clean and comfortable, and their family dog was quietly sleeping in the waiting room as I arrived. Dr. Barlas did a great job explaining as he walked me through the various tests so that he could gain a better understanding of my physical challenges. He used Active Release Therapy aka ART to relieve the stiffness in my neck and shoulders and to release the muscles. I felt great after the appointment and I will be a regular customer from now on!”

January 22, 2025Han T.Verified patient
Always a wonderful experience with Dr. Barlas. He’s always attentive, and great at explaining everything in laments terms. I have a muscle tear and he’s actively working with me to manage this and get outside referrals. He’s been wonderful at helping me build different workout plans and how to rebuild my strength in that area. I’ll continue to see Dr Barlas because of the excellent service he provides.

Clear communication. Office called to say they couldn't take Medicare, which I knew and was coming anyway. I hadn't noticed paperwork I should have filled out ahead; they were understanding and gracious. Dr. Barlas was very thorough, knowledgeable, and gentle in the adjustments. I have just moved back after years away and am tremendously relieved to have found just the right chiropractor. Highly recommend.
October 14, 2024Susan M.Verified patient
Awesome as always.
Great chiropractor who actually takes the time to do soft tissue work when called for (think: focused attention on treating tight muscles).
October 3, 2024Jon S.Verified patient
Dr Barlas listened to all of symptoms and then checked everything out, noticing old issues that I've just accepted as normal and addressed those as well. Super friendly. Incredibly knowledgeable. And worked to make sure I knew exactly what he was doing at every step.
June 3, 2024Hannah Y.Verified patient
I’ve been going to Barlas Chiropractic for several years off and on. I booked my appointment online this time and ended up needing to reschedule the day before and was able to without a hitch. It has been a while since my last appointment so Dr. Barlas did some measurements and made sure he knew what I was coming in for before doing my adjustment/active release technic. It was a good appointment-I left feeling a little worked.
Dr. Barlas has helped me after car accidents and through general life aches and pains. He is know for chiropractor as well as active release technique, which is amazing- I recommend him to everyone.

Overall, very well pleased.

Went in for a lot of pain however 95% of it was gone by the time I went, ironically. Decided to just go with it even though my insurance was not covered. He was very flexible and worked with me regarding a payment plan. He spent a good amount of time working with me and I appreciate all his work. I hope to return soon.
August 1, 2023Elizabeth C.Verified patient
Dr. Barlas is great! He's really nice, and it's obvious he is really committed to helping his patients feel better. I've been to other chiropractors before, but Dr. Barlas is great at incorporating many techniques to help with pain and get your spine back in shape. He helped me stand up straight normally for the first time in years! He's amazing!

Would highly recommend! I've gone in for a few different issues at different times, have always come out with a reduction in pain, and have noticed an overall improvement since my initial visit a few months ago. Dr. Barlas is excellent at identifying the source of pain, has helped with pinched nerves, neck/shoulder issues and hip alignment. Parking is easy and you can generally get seen within the week.
June 26, 2023Amulya U.Verified patient
Dr. Barlas is professional, friendly, and very knowledgable. He pinpointed my pain spots and explained to me the treatment plan in an easy way. He was able to reduce my pain in just one visit and made me feel comfortable right away. Highly recommend. His patient care coordinator is also friendly and helpful.

Very knowledgeable and professional. Pinpointed the issue and relieved pain during the first visit. Thorough exam and explanations regarding the issue. Also: great location, friendly staff, and easy parking in the city. Highly recommend.
March 30, 2022Hayley H.Verified patient
This is my first experience with a Chiropractor, and I was initially nervous since I had no idea what I was getting into. Dr. Barlas clearly had an expertise on every problem I was experiencing from the moment we started talking, and it really put me at ease. He has helped me tremendously with pain management in my lower back and shoulder, and we have only had a few appointments. I highly recommend him, especially if you are new and have hesitations. Him and his wife are incredibly welcoming, warm and put me at ease immediately. I feel like I am in great hands every time I go!
February 13, 2022Monica B.Verified patient
Dr Barlas is the best
October 4, 2021Mark B.Verified patient
Dr. Barlas’ use of chiropractic care and his expertise in ART have always been beneficial to treat any pains or needs! If you are active and experiencing sport or athletic pain/injury, Dr Barlas can treat all of that and help you fully recover!
September 7, 2021Joseph S.Verified patient
I had never been to a chiropractor before and was a little nervous. Dr. Barlas put me at ease and I feel hopeful about benefitting from treatment!
August 9, 2021Alicia M.Verified patient
Dr. Barlas spent a lot of time with me and took great care into fully evaluating me. He did all of this while being short staffed and I have to say that i was almost taken aback by how much effort and care he put into my appointment. Highly recommend.
January 23, 2021Mac E.Verified patient
Highly recommend! It was my first time getting adjusted and I'm wondering what took me so long to start. Dr. Barlas is great at explaining everything and is a pleasure to be around.
January 7, 2021Dani B.Verified patient
I was extremely happy with my visit. I have been looking for a new chiropractor for years and Dr. Barlas exceeded my expectations.
November 20, 2020Amy M.Verified patient
Dr. Barlas is great!
This is my first introduction into chiropractic medicine and Dr. Barlas did a super thorough evaluation to make sure I understood everything that was going on and everything that might be out of place.
I feel like a new person after 3 appointments and plan to keep seeing him! Thank you Dr. Barlas!
November 8, 2020Mark A.Verified patient
Dr. Barlas is incredibly helpful and thorough with his treatments. I especially appreciate his honesty when telling me what we could and couldn't fix, and what he could fix immediately vs stuff we had to work on. He's been considerate and kind, and is wonderful to talk to during sessions.
More than 1 year agoClaire J.Verified patient
Always a pleasant experience! His work gives me immediate increase in range of motion. I feel better upon exiting the office.
July 1, 2020Joseph S.Verified patient
I'm a runner, and Dr. Barlas has successfully treated me for emerging issues with my knee, achilles and hip at various times over the last year, helping me to heal before those problems became significant.
I also get regular back & neck adjustments from him, which have become essential during the COVID crisis while I've been working at home without a comfortable desk setup.
I have recommended him to friends and coworkers, and will continue to do so.

I've been going to Barlas Chiropractic for the past three years since moving to Seattle. Jaffer is very knowledgeable, skilled and caring, and has greatly helped with my neck, lower back, and TMJ issues. It took a little while to find someone that made a difference, but I'm glad I finally did. I highly recommend this office!
