The Best 14 MEDICAL SERVICES near Oak Harbor, WA

Scott and Candy Lincoln The people at the Health Department (Drinking Water Program in Coupeville) office are very efficient, helpful and professional. Every issue or question we have over the last 10 years has been handled on the phone or in person promptly and the entire staff is very helpful. We appreciate the work they do in helping Island County residents.

TheRich130 The PA was very thorough with her exam. Answered all my questions.

Dick Weber A pleasant experience . The office staff and nurse were helpful and pleasant to work with. DR Arisco is very understanding and open to answering questions about what options are open for my continuing health.

Laura EDIT: I phoned the office manager and she assured me that is not the case and was indeed unusual behavior. The doctor does not deserve the bad rating. I switched to a new clinic where they can see you in an emergency and I dont have to resort to YouTube for help. They are not able to take me for an emergency or pretty much anything else unless you have an appointment. Must make an appointment for weeks out. Nurse told me to go to the hospital...it was a high blood pressure reading at the dentist. I told her I was a block away. Then she told me Dr. Lemme was not taking new patients. I had been coming here for a year. She said I did the initial visit with the PA. She is gone and he is not taking anyone new even tho I have been seeing Dr. Lemme for a year.

Herb Johnson I’m a provider, worked with Dr Lemme as a consultant in the Navy over several years, and have chosen him as my primary care provider, and I know many. I have moderately severe cervical and lumbar back problems which can be debilitating and quite painful at times. Because he is an Osteopathic Physician, he is able to augment my needs with spinal manipulation, which to this point, has left me much more functional between acute back pain/strain episodes, sometimes for months at a time. Additionally, I have, to this point, been able to put off back surgery. Given my responsibilities as a caretaker, this is of paramount importance at this time. Dr Lemme has been sensitive to my needs, and we have a relationship of mutual respect and trust. He’s also great at all other aspects of his FamilyPractice. Worth the wait!

Tom Morio Had asthma issues and was seen immediately. Was impressed with their care and their concerns in seeing my condition improve rapidly. Dr Matthews and her team were the greatest!

S I had a terrible experience at Peace Health Medical Center two weeks ago now. I had called my insurances nurses line and they told me to go to the ER. I went in, calmly explained why I was at the hospital and than the doctor on call came into the room annoyed sat across the room in one of the patient chairs, arms crossed and said “so why are you here” I explained the situation and how I had vertigo early in the week and couldn’t walk. He didn’t look at me, blew me off and said okay we’ll run some blood work. My labs came back normal. The doctor then ordered a Valium and three bags of fluid. I asked why the Valium was ordered as I wasn’t experiencing anxiety or a panic attack and they stated oh well it will calm you. I declined this. They then gave me three bags of fluid in less than two hours. I went home and six hours later woke up swollen, in pain, and thirteen pounds heavier. I then asked my sister an rn what to do and she said to go to the er. I then had to return to the ER and was given a diuretic because I was given to much fluid for no apparent reason and had now had edema and third spacing. A week passes by and had blood work done through a different doctor and now have imbalances in kidney and liver function. I was blown off by this doctor at the ER and out in harm because of his neglect. Every one I have told this to in the medical field has been astonished and apologetic for what happened to me and that I should have never had to have been put in harm that way by a medical professional.

Kristine Pitsch-Weible My mother had surgery on January 08 and everyone from the check in receptionist to Dr. J. Reem did a wonderful job. Their care and attitude were warm and welcoming. Special kudos to anesthesiologist Erica McDonald who went beyond the extra mile to address our concerns and make us feel at ease. Thank you!

Tay I am very thankful, and surprised, to say that this hospital took the absolute best care of me that I have received in years. After two miserable appointments to the Island hospital ER, everything was completely different when I arrived here. I was immediately given an EKG, and taken seriously. I was immediately offered a blanket, the nurses held my hand and comforted me, many nurses and the doctor were all very focused on my care and comfort and checked on my frequently. I cried because it finally felt like I was being taken care of. Thanks to Maggie, Cynthia, Emily and Holly.

Calysta Webb Finally found a primary care doctor that really cares and listens. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend to everyone.

K Stotts0510 Not a "Family practice" as it states. They do not take people under the age of 18............ Change the name!!!!!!

Amy Huwa My husband went in with ear pain, throat, and sinus issues. Told them he had started the week with 103 fever, and these were his symptoms. At this point, his eyes were also swollen. The PA he saw literally came into his room, asked him about why he was there...did not once touch or examine him anywhere and said that he had pink eye and where do you want me to call in the meds to. I took him to the ER, and he had a double ear infection, a sinus infection, and pink eye in both eyes. The kicker for me is I know they will bill my insurance wrong, and I will have to call to try to get them to code it correctly...which never happens and I always get the run around. To say I am disappointed in the care is an understatement. He literally walked into his room, crossed his legs and asked him his symptoms, and never once physically examined my husband. I hope this helps the clinic have an open and honest conversation about their level of care and a prompt conversation of what is needed to better themselves. Clearly change is needed.

Cathy Pettersen This facility is utterly mismanaged. They need to do better in every aspect of patient care. Should you decide to use the patient portal, as requested by the doctor, you must GO INTO THE FACILITY to sign up. I’m appalled by the lack of care and concern shown by the support staff and find their lackadaisical approach during patient interactions so off putting. I would not recommend this facility if you have a choice.

D L Steer clear from this clinic. If you love your spouse, get her anywhere else besides here. Most staffs are rude, unprofessional, their secondary patient representative hang up on me without tell me why, and they never pick up their phone, or call back. Their excuses for bad service is oh we are ruining low on people. Stay away from this place. Not worth the hassle.

Richard Smith Mostly bad experiences here. This place is one of the reasons why service members stationed in the area can put their family members on Tricare Prime US Family Health Plan and use a civilian Doctor as an alternative and not need to pay out of pocket. If you are retired you can also do the same and not be seen here. Upon seeing my civilian doctor he was appalled by the medications I was on and how long I was on it. He immediately ordered a liver function test and changed my prescriptions. My family and I have a much better quality of life.

epiphanysedge Rejected for assistance with addressing an injury I sustained at work. They told me "we arent taking any more L&I claims at this time." Seemed like they dont have a attitude of wanting to help people. Maybe skip this one if you are needing real help.

Stephanie M I absolutely love Dr. Thorpe, he’s been my PCP since I first moved here a few years ago and I’m grateful for him. I have had no problems getting referrals to all of the specialists I have needed, he’s gone above and beyond to get my insurance to cover medications I’ve needed that they denied, and he’s just an all-around personable and friendly guy. He has no problem explaining things in a way that are easily understandable, which is hard to come by in a doctor.

Heather F Just moved back to WI and had switched care to North Island Medical. My spouse and I had our new patient appts with a Dr Fisher. Dr Fisher was so kind, thurough, truly cared about our health. The staff was friendly, so far so good in my opinion.

Thomas Hines Ive had some good and some bad experiences over the past 5 years. My primary care physician is Dr. Fisher. He is personable and qualified but trying to make an appointment to see him is difficult. I usually get assigned to a nurse practitioner, some great, some not so good. My last visit was with Jessica - she was one of the great ones. My previous visit was with Joshua - he was one of the not so good ones. Im 74 and have had some serious medical issues. I would love to talk to my primary care physician but scheduling an appointment usually requires a 2 month wait.

Chelsea Bianchini They don’t call back, when you press “1” to leave a message it hangs up. I have been waiting for a surgeon referral for painful gallstones for a week now with zero calls back. I will now be going into the office today to see if I can pick that up since they refuse to return messages. It’s ridiculous I have to take the time out of work to drive there for a simple fax referral

Joyce Forbes Dr. Mic Kinney Was wonderful working with me as a patient. Now I need to find another Doctor as who regards my issues as well as he did. I just was put though a procedure that Dr. Mic Kinney would not have put me through. Because of that I cried the entire time of the procedure because of the pain...knowing what the outcome would be. Im so sorry he wont be here. I will have to find someone as capationit. I had another doctor called me with the results...I saw the results and disagree with them. As far as the difference from Dr. MicKinney. The caller from their whidbey office my over and over said their was no other way and that he can tell by very dense breasts. Dr McKinney found a way. With ultra sound I think without pain. I cant find it right now, but I will be sure to add the info. Thank you, Joyce

Jack Alexander I went to a doctor appointment so I could establish care with a new doctor in freeland. Since they get a new doctor every 6 months for some reason. They work with the walk in clinic and share information in the system. to preface this off, I wannan say I have Been calling them, sitting on hold just about an hour every time, listening to the same two hold music songs so i could ask about how they said Id be getting a call about a consultation for my collarbone since I went in there over a week ago. First time I called, they said "Ill send you your x rays on email" and I said "I already got my x rays when I went into the walk in clinic 3 days ago" then they said, "well what do you want?" I said "I wanna know who they are referring me to." They said "I dont know yet. Is there anything else you want me to help you with?" I calledtgree to four days later and they said the same thing, then, I actually went in there foe my therapy appointment and talked to my therapist. My therapist and I talked to a lady who worked there, and said "hey he has a displaced broken collarbone and they said they were gonna get him a referral for a consultation, can you get Nancy to let him know about it?" The lady said "I dont work with that department and Nancy isnt here, referrals usually take 10-14 business days, unless theyre urgent." My therapist said, "yeah, but hes in a lot of pain, can you at least let them know" the lady said "I know, but if its been a while since the fracture, its not urgent but ill write it down". she wrote my name and birth date on a paper towel, and probably threw it away because the new doctor I was seeing just started working there and didnt even know I had a broken collarbone. I told him about it, he couldnt find any record of it, when he finally did, he said that "well, I just started working here 2 weeks ago, but on behalf of whidbey primary care, I am sorry, your fracture report got lost, we dropped the ball" I said, "well I tried calling like 2-3 times and talked to someone face to face and they said it would take 14 business days" he said "what? Thats crazy? Maybe if youre getting a colonoscopy! Wha- thats crazy! It shouldnt take that long for a displaced fracture with little pieces broken. You shouldve gotten in right away!" He said I would be getting a call today or tomorrow from an orthopedic surgeon. I would rate them 4 stars before this happened because my only problem at that point was they had a med doctor who they had working in freeland primary care for a week but moved her all the way to oak harbor. I also would have given them more stars because of the new therapist and new doctor was helpful since he finally got notified about my broken collarbone, however, its unbelievable the amount of excruciating pain Ive been in BECAUSE of freeland primary care. I honestly think some people should be fired and some legal action should be filed against them with stuff like this going on

Lynn Rohan Minus 10 stars if I could. Have never written a review but, literally, they are SO bad, reviews that send people elsewhere could potentially be life-saving. Theyve beaten me into having to find another provider, Ive stuck with it FAR too long - my bad - but dont make my mistake. Cannot get through to speak with anyone. Messages are not returned. I have to physically drive to their location in order to communicate anything. Absolutely criminal service. Cannot for the life of me, figure out why they cant solve this - soooo many local people have complained yet nothing has been even slightly improved for the last several years. Yes - Im switching providers. Just trying to save someone else a whole lot of heartache.
