Dr. Sam Jyotishi, DC

Dr. Sam Jyotishi earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Marietta, Georgia. Born and raised in Atlanta, he moved to Bellevue to care for patients across the Pacific Northwest. Before the move, he trained and practiced in an integrative clinic alongside a talented group of specialists, where his work centered on vestibular and neurological care for people recovering from concussion and traumatic brain injury.

A genuine curiosity about how the brain and body work together led him to focus his practice on neurological cases, with particular attention to concussions, dizziness, vertigo, and other balance-related conditions. He saw early in life how much patient-centered care can change a person, and that experience still shapes the way he works today.

Clear communication is at the heart of how Dr. Sam practices. He makes sure every patient understands what is driving their symptoms and leaves each visit with a practical path toward feeling better. Outside the clinic, he enjoys studying different cultures, philosophy, history, and the many ways people make sense of the mind.
