Ankush Kaul Tried to call for an appointment, they were really rude and hung up on me. Would never trust an institution like this with my health!

Ana v Corado Easy to find the trauma center and is nice personal

Nella Neumann Leaving this review to say thank you Seattle Children’s Hospital. They took my 2 year old daughter’s emergency very seriously, got us in immediately upon entering the ER room, quickly and urgently took care of everything we needed to do. They tested and treating everything they needed to do and made sure not to leave anything out. My daughter ended up being admitted for a few days and it was a good experience. They have a TV and kids tablet for the kids. Cute little tiger scrubs. Deliver good food (if you are sick). they bring snacks/ juice/ water any time you want. There is also a nice Starbucks in there with long hours. Thank you guys for a good experience during a bad time. Truly don’t plan on taking my kids to any other hospital again.

Kelly Ewing Gender-affirming healthcare saves lives. My review will remain at one star until SCH increases transparency and support for their trans patients.

Silvia Y This was back in early 2019. Mom was there for a month and all her attendings kept her goal at getting strong enough to even do chemo. It wasnt until I questioned if that still made sense since she was deteriorating day by day and apparently no one there noticed that the plan had to change. Their pt also said she refused pt whenever he went to find her, which wasnt true. We found out later that he went to her without a translator and she was trying to tell him that she was eating and not refusing pt. Pt is a white guy and mom didnt know much English, if I wasnt clear enough. The entire month long here was majority negative.

Tim Seward I go there for Chemotherapy and the nursing staff in oncology department are the Greatest people around, makes it a lot easier when doing this particular procedure thank you

Jenn C Clean, parking pretty full, nice staff

JJ My 80 year old mother began seeing Dr. Georgia after her own GP of 30+ years retired. We are impressed at how she really takes the time to listen and address each and every health issue. We have referred her to other family members. She is a fantastic doctor.

Beth McAlpine I have never been more frustrated with a Doctors office then I have with Dr. Georigas. They incorrectly billed me for seeing a Nurse Practitioner within the office and then told me to disregard the bills I was receiving each month until I heard from them with a resolution. After following-up with them three times and being told the same message, Ive now received a collections notice. This is unprofessional and unacceptable.

Erika Hansen Dr. Moen has been my primary care physician since 2007, and hes been fantastic. He always listens to my concerns, is quick to respond (be it to a question, an appt request, or a medication refill. When I need to make an appt, Im usually in within days, a week at the latest. Im a bit of a complicated patient and am hospitalized fairly regularly (oddly enough, his daughter has been my inpatient physician and is similarly wonderful). Because of this, I have missed a number of appointments. He has always been understanding and patient with me. Many primary care physicians are not knowledgeable with some of the more rare chronic conditions, but Dr. Moen is as knowledgeable as my specialists. I have been urged in the past to switch to a university of Washington PCP given that my myriad specialists work at UW, but I prefer to remain with Dr. Moen.

Nicole Pine FINALLY! A doctor that knows his stuff and doesnt order a bunch of arbitrary tests "Just to make sure". He actually takes a good history, thinks about the treatment options and discusses them with you. Yes, he does have a bit of a flat affect but he is smart, reasonable and will do things right the first time. I have worked in medicine for years and not found a doctor I click with until now. Thank you for your care Dr. Moen. I probably wont have to see you anytime soon because Ive been taken care of so well.

Dom I’ve been seen here since 2021 and have always had the highest quality service by excellent medical professionals. The facility is sizeable and a bit of a maze but the staff are helpful in navigating you around. Parking is sufficient. Really no complaints, thank you for servicing us vets.

DAVID FORSYTH Seattle VA Dental Clinic. I am beyond satisfied with the dental care I received. I had a crown break off. They did a root canal. The climate of this dental office is unique. The quality service is worth the wait. The staff is amazing from the moment you arrive appointments, dental hygienist, Dental assistant, and the DR that performed my root canal all get my full endorsement. They were all amazing.

James Rivera I was brought in last week with a brain seizure. I was treated in the ICU and the Epilepsy floor (5th). These folks were all truly amazing. Each individual that I interacted with was extremely caring and just wonderful people. This was obviously not the ideal situation to be in, but Im so very grateful that I was brought to this hospital. I would especially like to mention my friend Davit, (unfortunately I dont know his last name) who helped me in ways that he may never know. Im grateful and thankful to be alive today and these people were all a big part of my recovery. Best to all of you.

Raven Price This doctors office staff is beyond incompetent. I have been going here for 2 years and each time I go I just give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Everyone has bad days. But after today, Ill never go back. I was there for 2 hours just for a vaccine and an x-ray. The x ray itself was quick but it took forever to get the vaccines and it was clear that the doctor and the assistant were not communicating. I was waiting for my doctor to show up to explain my x rays but she never did. When I went to the lobby, it was completely empty except for the secretary. The rest of the doors of the office were open and it was clear that no one was present. Likely left on lunch. I am filing a complaint with the state medical board. I do not recommend Dr. Kerri Orf. I only gave 1 star because it would not allow me to put none.

Rose Faerie I’ve been going here for nearly 20 years. The majority of the time I saw Dr Irizarry but since his leave I’ve switched to Dr Banda. Both are great doctors and I don’t plan on switching my primary care anytime soon. They offer great video appointments and an easy to navigate MyChart system where you can book online and request prescription refills. Excellent “bedside manor” I’ve never felt as if I’m not listened to and they are great about follow up care.

green star My two children saw Dr. Starnes until we moved out of state. We have only been gone a year but most of all I miss our pediatrician. My kids felt comfortable there and so did I. Dr. Starnes always took the time to make my kids feel welcome. My 2 and 3 year old actually looked forward to going to the doctor. Now that it is gone... I realize I miss feeling like someone has my back. Dr. Starnes took all of my worries into consideration and gave me options. When it comes to my kids health care I want to feel secure. I did at Swedish. My kids loved the nurses and really didnt even mind getting shots. Wish I had that where we moved... feel like I am alone in space...

Kristina Colleen I received great care here. Of course there is a lot of waiting at the ER but this was much quicker and more efficient than other ER experiences I’ve had. All the staff were helpful, caring, and professional and really listened when I described my symptoms. Thank you!

Aaron Great doctors, mostly great nurses, terrible & lazy patient policies by the overlords. Entire floor having empty patient rooms, and forcing a sick chronic coughing person in a room with a post abdominal surgery patient. Surgery patient cannot get get a chronic cough, this would rip their incision apart. Pure ignorance of policies, lazy and or simply cheap processes.

Billy D The medical care was excellent, but your building layout sucks! I had to find Wound Care and no employee, no map, nothing helped me find it. If you move centers, you should walk it like a patient. I arrived 30 minutes early and wound up 15 minutes late. Crazy. Also, I had kidney transplant surgery and the day after discharge, my incision opened up and now I’m dealing with that. The doctors closing procedures need to tighten up a bit. Lastly, your communication between departments really sucks. I’m called 3-5 times a day and I’m told contradictory information consistently. I received a call asking me where I was and no one mentioned that they scheduled a meeting for me. Very frustrating.

Don Smith I come from Selah/Yakima simply because Virginia Mason is my hospital of choice. The Doctors and support Staff are awesome. My medical care is very important too me as I have had several life threatening medical issues. I am very comfortable at Virginia Mason. Unfortunately none of the above applies to my local hospital.

Amy Sarkisian Id like to thank all your staff for your help and care so much. As an immigrant from Russia, I always have things to compare (not intentionally of course), and I can say I had never had such great experience in Russia. Going to a Russian medical center was always a challenge for me because the center itself was never renovated and staff goal was never to help but make you even more depressed...It is my first experience with the medical center in the US and when I came for the first time I was told I did the right thing and I would feel better. The outcome was I felt better. Not only they do their work so professionally, they also make you so comfortable, they smile, they let you speak up... As a person who always tries to look on the bright side and be positive, I do believe that positive attitude impacts each patients recovery. When I came for the first time I was miserable, now I feel better thanks to you! Dr Jeff Warner has helped me a lot, he definitely cares about patients not leaving any situation unsolved. Thank you! I wish you all be happy and have only great days! Sincerely, Roman

Nathalie Figueroa I felt better because of the energy in the clinic. All staff treated me with patience, calm, and gentleness. Thank you! This will be my go-to clinic.

Philicia Saephan Just wanted to rate the "Meditation" room, love the cozy feel and warm and heated room. Its slightly separated with a curtain, perfect for wanting a separate space. Great for sisters separating from praying with brothers. There are prayer mats available to use and I saw Meditation pillows. Its really nice to have these available for visitors especially because we could be visiting our loved ones all day or weeks. As a Muslim, Im happy that they have this for us. Thanks!

Roberta Tecumseh Edited:Our family’s experience at Harborview pediatric burn ICU was overall positive, & we are deeply thankful for the incredible care our son received during his stay. The medical team, including doctors, nurses, physical therapists, & occupational therapists, went above & beyond in saving his life. We witnessed so many staff members treating our son with immense care, respect, & love. Some nurses even took the time to pray for him, which meant so much to our family. The staff made him feel special, loved, & cared for, which helped him through such a challenging time. He developed close bonds with his own favorite medical team, & we are so grateful to all of them. Your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed, & we truly appreciate the amazing staff at your hospital. We want to express our deep gratitude for the hard work & commitment of the entire team involved in his care. From doctors to support staff, its clear that they all had a genuine concern for our son’s well-being, and we will forever be grateful for their efforts. We are incredibly thankful for the medical professionals at Harborview who helped save our son’s life. There are so many positive experiences that we can’t even list them all, and we’ve encountered countless respectful, kind, and hardworking professionals throughout our time there. A few challenging experiences don’t define the whole hospital, and the good far outweighs the negative. We appreciate the hard work, compassion, and dedication of everyone involved in our son’s care, and we are forever grateful for the support your team provided. Thank you to the entire medical team for everything you’ve done for our family! While our overall experience was very positive, there were a few areas where we felt there was room for improvement. 1 thing we would have appreciated is an option for parents to stay overnight with their children in the Pediatric Burn ICU, or at least to have a nearby space to sleep where we could be close to our baby. It was difficult to be away from him during such a critical time, and having the option to stay with him overnight would have been a comforting and necessary reassurance. There were also a few interactions that left us concerned. On 1 occasion, we observed a nurse applying hand sanitizer over her gloves when entering our sons room, which raised some concerns about infection control practices. Additionally, there was a nurse who was not as patient with our son when changing him. He was recovering from sensitive wounds on his bottom, & she changed him in a quick and aggressive manner, which felt unsettling given his condition. The same nurse was on shift when our son got a bump on his forehead. She removed a protective sheet from his crib railing, which had been placed there to keep him from injuring himself during tantrums. After he hurt himself, she only replaced the sheet afterward. We requested that this nurse not return, but despite our concerns, she was brought back by the aggressive charge nurse, whom we found to be less than respectful in her communication.The aggressive charge nurse of the unit, showed a lack of respect toward us and other visitors, including speaking inappropriately in front of our 3-year-old burn survivor. While we understand that stress can run high in such environments, we believe it’s crucial for staff to communicate respectfully, especially in front of vulnerable patients and their families. We voiced our concerns through the proper channels but did not see immediate changes. We believe that with some communication training, this aggressive charge nurse could be an even greater asset to the team, especially considering her experience as a burn survivor herself. Finally, while Harborview is an excellent hospital, there were limitations when it came to equipment for burn survivor children. Our son had to be transferred to Seattle Children’s Hospital, which had specialized equipment better suited to his critical care needs. That said, we are grateful to Harborview for stabilizing our son and giving him the opportunity to recover.

Sepideh Fakhri I do not recommend this clinic or any other Swedish Clinic as I find their pricing to be very aggressive, you will end up with unexpected charges, the customer service is non existent and the business will not respond in any way to inquiries. I visited Swedish and Dr Haris Ahmad for my annual check up which my insurance covers 100%. It was a nice visit until I received an invoice for a preventative visit PLUS a new patient visit for the same appointment. I move a lot for work therefore I change PCPs often and no doctor has so far charged me extra for collecting patient history on top of the preventative annual check up. I contacted Swedish by phone, wrote emails to their customer service and mailed them a written letter. They have not acknowledged any of my attempts and have not rectified the unnecessary charges they have made. This is a predatory business. Stay away if you can.

roman lemeshkov Disappointing and discouraging. Recently lost a good doctor relationship with Kaiser due to job/insurance change. Set up an appointment as a new patient. Two month wait - Ok, I get it. Re-arranged my tight work schedule. Received an e-mail 1 hour before the appointment with the news the doctor cant make it. Called in. Next appointment more than a month away. I get pushed back another month. This doesnt work for me. You "accept new patients" - you make it work for them. Stay after hours, if you have to, precious doctor. Build new relationships. Make it work for people who pay your bills. Never heard back from the receptionist or anyone else. Not good. As tempting as it is to mention the doctors name, I do believe its mostly the way these clinics are managed and the general state of our pathetic primary healthcare today.

nash 9 The girl that saw me was sweet heart but she didnt speak English surprised for such a established medical operation operation

Tracy Sumita Great

Aimeé Muul I did not care for Dr. Kulgren. May just be personality conflict, but also experienced a very frustrating issue with her office. I was scheduled by her scheduler for a procedure. The day I showed up they told me I did not have an appointment and therefore couldnt be seen. I complained to the doctor about it and she seemed completely uninterested in the issue or that I had taken time off work. Not much of a bedside manner. Cant speak to how good of a physician she is though.

Catherine Berry Dr. Kulgren is professional and compassionate. I’m currently seeing her for my first pregnancy. I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of care I’m receiving.

David Lee Great hospital. Friendly staff, good facilities, and decent dining. There a Starbucks inside which is convenient. Its difficult to find d things though, like a lot of hospitals. I was trying to tell someone how to find our room and it was not easy. We were in the pediatric area and it was nice. The room was a bit cramped but otherwise nice. Had usual things you find, in addition had Xbox One, which was kinda cool for our son to pass time while healing up. Nurses were really nice and attentive and doctors as well.

Loran Greenwall Our case was a little different because we were adopting an unborn child from a young mom. We were very displeased with the way the staff treated everyone involved. This hospital showed a pattern of disrespect, unethical behavior, and lack of compassion. Adoption is a very heart wrenching and emotional roller coaster for all parties involved and they did not cater appropriately to any of the parties. The social worker and charge nurse lied to us about a list of things instead of being straight up and honest. The doctor and nurses added additional and unnecessary stress to the already high stress situation. They even went so far as to try and push their believes and opinions on the situation. The lack of education and ability to cater to diverse situations was astonishing. Even our lawyer who had done adoption for thirty years was blown away by their behavior. I hope they consider more education for this particular topic. Whenever I tell the story of my child’s birth I make sure to include our horrifying experience in this hospital so no one will have to suffer the way we did. We were robbed of many first time memories with our child. We will never get those back and it was all because of this uneducated, bigoted hospital staff. The only reason they deserve even one star is because of an excellent nurse on post partum who was very kind and understanding. She tried her hardest to make everyone comfortable within the situation. We will never forget the sweet tenderness of her kindness that night even if it was in vain.

Garrett N. Note how the different parking spots are marked as not all are paid spots.

Russell Salazar I was referred here as a new patient. I spent at a total of 1 hour on hold with their dermatology department, only to be told they do not have my referral because it takes 2 weeks for them to process one. There is no online option to make an appointment
