Dr. Rudolf was selected by Seattle Met Magazine as a Top Doctor. My goal for every patient is to help devise and carry out a treatment plan which emphasizes safe, effective, and sustainable approaches toward minimizing unwanted symptoms, and enhancing overall wellness proactively and preventatively. I often recommend integrating acupuncture and other complementary/alternative treatment strategies into the management plan. I find that patients with a willingness to put time and energy into their own care, and who are open to making significant changes to their management plan when it is not working, can very often achieve excellent results over time. Dr. Rudolf is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Central Pain Syndrome. His top areas of expertise are Central Pain Syndrome, Chronic Pain, Opioid Use Disorder, and Sciatica.
