The Best 18 MEDICAL SERVICES near Lakewood, WA (Part 2)

LUCY 65 Clean,friendly environment. Took a walk around the grounds while my husband was having a procedure done. Beautiful

Native One Not much wait time. VA very helpful. Care is very good. What I. Dont like is waiting on the phone , sometimes for an Hour to speak to someone. This a problem for many Veterans. I recently had a Stroke, in the last 2 days have spent approx. 5 hours on hold, very frustrating. Overall ,besides that. Once you get to see the right care giver, care is very good. Though sometimes frustrating. I commend all care givers for their service.

Bill Gish I am 73, and Ive never had a better experience with a doctor in my life. Dr. Regimbal never speaks down to me, always listens to me, and explains what and why he recommends a particular course of treatment. He never seems in a rush to move on to the next patient. His office staff are helpful and polite, and I have never had to wait long for an appointment.

James Scott Great doctor, takes his time and doesnt rush, while, also never keeps us waiting very long.

P Very friendly and helpful people that work there.

Karen Williamson Serves my needs

Heather W Dr. Vo is wonderful once you get to see him. However getting medications refilled or anything like that is beyond frustrating. I am often waiting a week or more for refills. Idk if its his staff or him... but its ridiculous

Michon Cruz Dunn Ive been a patient of his for over 5 yrs Dr.Vo and Nurse Stephanie truly do care for their patients on a personal and very professional manner. Thank you for providing the health care that is in the best interest for myself and my family!!

Lisa Goodwin Dr Jessy Ang is such a great Dr! Its hard to find a good Dr he really does care for his patients, we moved from Lakewood hes my husband PCP my hubby wanted to stay with Dr Ang and eventhough we barely see him hes always been very professional and compassionate towards his patients we will make that drive just to see Dr. Ang!! Highly Recommend Dr. Jessy Ang as your PCP!!

Stewie Milton Had surgery clearance done here and it’s been over a month and they have not fwd that information to my surgeon.. the lack of professionalism in taking care of a simple task to clear a patient for surgery is appalling. I do not recommend anyone to get any important labs done here as they do not take care of needs in a timely manor and when you call to express your concern they will promise a call back and never call. They don’t even return phone calls from the surgeon who needs the information.

Shelley Lee Doctor listened to me. Was a 1st visit with this - new to me PCP @ KP, clearly he had reviewed my chart, Dx, Tx, POC, meds were gone over including OTC, I was very happy with his presentation and interest in my health and well being. I LIKE the new check list after care paperwork. I would recommend Dr. Akadri MD.

Carolyn Mcclain What i dont like is my doctor is no longer working here and I would like to stay here. But there or no more doctor s here that taking new patients so I may have to take my medical insurance some where else because that was the best doctor I ever had in my life. One that listen to me and not talk at me. I may have to find out where she moved to if I dont hurry up and get another doctor in this office soon.

Mitchell gorden Clearly not taking new patients even tho their website says they are. They can gladly schedule you an appointment for next year. WHO schedules an appointment that far out. I’m not going to be sick a year from now

Nancy White Dr. Walton has been my PCP for 13 years or so. She is a very good listener and understands what I’m trying to explain. I always feel well supported. If she still has questions, then I’m referred to a specialist for additional evaluation. I appreciate her attention to me as her patient.

Lisa Palmer I would give this clinic with Dr Wilson and his wife a zero star.

Roseanne M Huge hospital. Make sure you pay attention to where you park. Staff was kind and helpful.

Sandra Clevenger An excellent hospital great doctors, nurses, and surgeons. The food at the dfac is good too.

Devon Ellis Front desk and nurses are polite and inviting each visit. When speaking to the practitioners, I feel like the sincerely care about helping me achieve better health. Ive had the opposite experience at many other offices.

Anaiah Versher My sister, went to a doctor appointment scheduled with Iliana Micali she’s rude and she did not listen to her patient. She over prescribed my sister with 5 different medications that she did not feel comfortable taking, while not listening to her needs. I don’t think this is a good doctor she was fat shaming my sister, no one deserves to be treated like this especially at a doctors appointment TWICE

John Jasper I have been seeing them for over 12 yrs. and I love the professionals that work there. Sometimes it does take a bit to get in but with as many patients as they try to help thats to be expected. Its happened at every good medical facility Ive ever been in. The staff are very courteous and professional. I wouldnt want to go anywhere else. They have walk ins and appoinments that I really like. The aides and nurses are exceptionally nice. Wonderful Doctors Office.

Sjd_ Vids Was given this doctor as a PCP, and contacted them to schedule an appointment. On the phone, I was given the impression that the staff didnt care much, or was incompetent. Went to my first appointment anyways, at the address given. Entered the clinic all the way on Bridgeport Way (it was a drive for me) and went up to the office to discover the office was locked. Went to a neighboring office, and was told that this was a frequent problem, and then I was warned about using this provider. The receptionist for that office literally told me that I should find another doctor, and that we werent the only ones having issues, and that if we kept her, there would be way more. But, SHE gave me the address 8 miles away that Dr. Molleston apparently moved to. Go to this address, and its a shady location to begin with. Walk in, and were promptly greeted with incompetence from the receptionist and a RN. Theres absolutely no visible licensing or certifications. They did, however, have visible Jesus photos all over the office. When we asked about talking to someone about the way we were treated, we were told they would ask an admin--- but they never did. We waited 45 minutes in the waiting room past the appointment time before we gave up and decided that it wasnt worth it. During that 45 minutes, I listened to the RN advise a heart attack patient over the phone (advice that shouldnt be given, period) and then hang up and make fun of him with the receptionist. This doctor is SHADY, and were currently in the process of lodging two complaints against her, now.

Thuy Bui I came with my dad for his colonoscope. Everything was fine until the old nurse (I believe she was Chinese, short hair and old woman) came in. Super rude, attitude toward me and ignored whatever I said. When I asked her about my concern about my dad hypertension, she basically told me it was not my business to ask, I could only ask if she allowed me to, and only my dad could ask her (and only when she allowed). I was actually speechless, im not sure who she think she was, but I am the family member, I have all the legal right (on paper) to ask her about my concerns. And she kept that attitude, told me that i was just an interpreter, and I should do my job (????) that translated whatever she said. She was so mean that she didnt even believe that I translated everything to my dad, and rushed me to translate it. She had an accent and it took me some time to process and translate, im not a professional interpreter, and it was 6:30am. She had ruined my day. The reason I gave 3 stars because the rest of the staff was very friendly and nice. I wish I could file a complain about her, because of what I experienced.

Casey Tyler (Tyler) I have to say this is a great place I see both my primary care doctor and podiatrist here and I have not had anything but first class care from here, its like whatever they are doing they need to teach it everywhere in Washington, I will say the front desk agents are some time brass and cold but other then that everything else is amazing ...

Thomas Kim Very reliable and kind staff members. The doc understood my health related concerns quickly and provided helpful recommendations

Mandi Olivares Im being refused medical care through this place. The Dr is an excellent Dr however the way Ive been treated for the last several months being told I will no be seen until the balance is taken care of is ridiculous. Ive called my state insurance for the last few months and its basically phone tag. I do not recommend going here if you have a problematic insurance company and a Drs office that is unwilling to work or give resources with their patients.

Matt Hymer He has been my primary physician for nearly 20 years. He is and has always seemed concerned about my well-being. He seems like family when I see him. I cant say enough good things about this man.

Cb Rah Dr. Lee had me travel from Olympia, I’m disabled. After sitting in his office as patients that came after me where shown in. His staff informed me that the doctor didn’t have my file and if I was to see him we’d just be staring at each other. I was referred to him to get a therapy anyone could tell I needed therapy. The patient before me they couldn’t find his file either. Highly dysfunctional practice.

Zagg Branagan One of the most organized and professional medical organizations in the area. Experienced and courteous support personnel and medical professionals in every department. Doctor Sashko stands out as a top-notch physician and a really nice guy, too. PS. Even my buddy "Spike" (in the last picture below) agrees but you might want to leave your "bearded dragon" at home.

Firefly Staff have all been nice to me here. Only thing that bothered me a bit was when I had an end of the day appointment, the doctor seemed a bit eager to finish up instead of hearing me out. He did talk to me, though, and took some time to explain some stuff. But it felt a little rushed. Otherwise Ive had good experiences here. Some of the previous complaints seem a bit silly. Yes there can sometimes be wait times. Those can often times be out of the control of the doctors and nurses. Yes, prescribers should be seeing patients at least every three months or so, to ensure the medication is still going to benefit them. This is common sense. Maybe its not necessary with some medication, but if I were a doctor, or ANRP, or someone else able to prescribe medicine, Id definitely want to keep up with my patients enough so I could adjust dosage, or medicine based on how the patient is doing. Some medicine also requires bloodwork, or other tests to see how theyre affecting peoples liver, kidneys, or many other varieties of important functions of the human body. Theres no benefit in assumption, and nothing wrong with being careful. Just my two cents.

Cathi La Roe I don’t even want to give one star…0 would be more accurate! Portal is inaccurate, Staff are just ignorant as to policies! I literally got 6 different people with 6 different “stories” of policy and procedures in 2 days time. I tried to get med refills and was at first set up with a tele visit but did not receive any instructions by email or on the portal. So I waited 1.5 hours until the clinic closed and did not receive a call because they were on zoom but I had not been informed that I needed zoom. So I was labeled as a no show. The meds I was out of are an antidepressant which should not be stopped randomly due to depression worsening and suicidal side effects. Another appt was scheduled for 3 days later. The office called me and cancelled the tele visit saying I needed to come in person. But…my record indicates I was a no show again. The in office appt. Did not happen because I arrived late due to traffic although I gave myself plenty of time to get there. Interstate backed up and roads blocked off by police. I called while driving and was told to keep coming . When I got there I was refused service and once again labeled as a no show although I store in the office for an hour explaining my need for depression meds which I had been off of for 3 weeks at that point. I had a total meltdown and was sent home regardless of my mental state. No compassion, No concern, No assistance! That is medical neglect on the doctors part. And people wonder why Mental Health is on the rise! I could go on but will just post another review! This place sucks!

Cary Bridgeford This doctor is fast responder. He is clear about your health and what he recommends. His job. Primary Care. He does that job very well. If you looking for a good doctor do you want a trying to be your friend. Or trying to focus on your care? Well I will leave you with this. 25 years of care and I could not be at my best health. Everyone has different medical needs. He has met mine. I was shocked to see some individuals comments. Often times we mistake the job of a doctor. They practice medicine. Key word is practice. You should always find the best fit for yourself.

Cindy Neary Dr. Kennel has been our family doctor for over 25 years. He has a lot of experience and once you are an established patient, can usually see you very quickly for a sudden injury or illness. I have had a variety of illnesses which he has treated and diagnosed well. Hes matter of fact and has skills which a lot of younger doctors dont have any more. He doesnt send you to a specialist for every little thing.

Becky Barnes I have been going to Dr. Kennels for over 4 yrs and always had excellent care. I was never dissatisfied. The staff was always the best and the front desk people are wonderful. All was great until Brandon Swisher left and I was assigned to Dr. Harris. I saw him the first time Sept 10,2024. My wrist was very painful and a bit swollen so he had me go to Tra imaging to get an x-ray. That was done Sept 11th. It is now Oct 1 and I still have not heard anything on the results of the x-ray. I have called 5 times and went there personally but he and the nurse were out that day. The front desk wrote urgent on my message more than once to no avail. I asked if I could see either Dr. Kennels but was told they have to be asked if they want to add me to their patient list. I asked if they could at least look at my x-ray. I have tried to see a different Dr elsewhere but no one is taking new patients. Im still in pain and still being ignored. I give Dr. Harris 1 star and 5 stars for the front desk as they tried to get him to do his job. Im just going to find another Dr as this is unacceptable.

Desi G After experiencing a few VAs around the country, this one is pretty good. The women health primary care clinic is very active and professional.

Ed Baker I enjoy going to the American Lake clinic, I have only had positive experiences at the clinic. I have been receiving medical care for years at the clinic. Great staff can’t say enough good things about them. Plus everything is there I don’t have to travel all over town to get any procedures accomplished. I appreciate the VA Doctors, Nurses and Technicians for providing good quality medical care.
