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

Hannah Ward Midwives are very considerate and make sure you know what all your options are and then they leave the decisions up to you. The birthing prep classes are a God send for first time moms. Wonderful clinic!! Im very excited to have my first baby here!!

Dennis West I havent been to Deaconess hospital for almost 50 years when I had a major operation. It was a very good experience as far as what a good experience is for a hospital can be called. I came to Deaconess because of having reoccurring gout in many joints for the last 7 months. My experience in the ER was very professional and was decided because also my white blood cells were elevated they put me upstairs in a room and many doctors that came in to see me and feel that with him 24 hours of being here I have made more progress with all that have been taken care of through the 7 months prior to that. I probably have several more days in here but I am glad that my friends said that Deaconess was the place to go and I followed through. Just like in the movies when they say the best of the best at least in my opinion.

A BE I cant recommend Dr. Dygert enough! From the moment I became a patient, I’ve been incredibly impressed with the level of care and attention I’ve received. She goes above and beyond to make sure I’m not only well taken care of but truly heard. Appointments are always thorough and never rushed, and I appreciate how accessible she is—whether it’s a quick question or an urgent concern, I always feel like I’m a priority. In the past Ive waited weeks to see my GP, but now I can text, call or schedule an in person visit and get in to see her in 24 hours or less (typically same day!) when something urgent arises. The personalized approach she takes to healthcare has made a huge difference in my overall well-being. She takes the time to explain things clearly, offer guidance, and provide solutions that make sense for me and my lifestyle. Not to mention that shes incredibly kind and makes you feel at ease no matter what situation might be. This is the best money Ive ever spent on my health - hands down. And since I dont have to go to urgent care anymore, in the long run Ill be saving money. If your medical needs go beyond a yearly checkup at the doctors, or you end up at urgent care a couple times a year this is an absolute no brainer. I would give her 10 stars if I could. :)

Cindy Brigham-Althoff Paula is the most thorough provider I know. She takes the time to really listen to patients to understand the course of their illness or health problem. She recently made a home visit after a week-long respiratory illness for me. Her service and caring is unmatched. Highly recommend!

Cheryl Watson I have only seen a few doctors at Kinwell but recently had the pleasure of getting Emily Tseng. She is the best doctor I have seen at Kinwell and is an asset to establishment. She listens to her patients and she is very knowledgeable. Because of the comfort level this doctor has given me I will continue to go back to Kinwell. Thank you Emily!

Bonnie Cook I had an amazing experience with Dr. Tseng and her outstanding support staff. Unfortunately, after her departure, I quickly realized that the new providers show little concern for my health. In early January, I faced difficulties with prior authorization during a brief period when I had different insurance. The new provider refused to complete the necessary paperwork, instead suggesting that I take the medication preferred by the new insurance—Jardiance—and space out my Monjaro doses to every 10 days. This recommendation was not only unsuitable but also concerning for my health as a diabetic not on insulin. Jardiance makes me ill and frequently leads to repeated courses of antibiotics. Spacing out Monjaro, a critical part of my treatment plan, jeopardizes my well-being long term. Keeping my blood sugars level is an important aspect of longevity. It seems that patients only matter when they have BCBS insurance, and even a one-month transition with different coverage led to being disregarded. I didnt ask for an appointment - I asked for the normal paperwork. Asking for something as simple as prior authorization paperwork though was apparently too much. I am going on a search again - to see if there is anywhere patients matter. Unfortunate - Dr Tseng left - hopefully there is another one with her incredible attitude and comptence locally.

Liz Schmidt I’ve been with my PCP now for 2 yrs! I’m very happy with the care she has given me! She listens and is very knowledgeable when I ask her questions! She includes me with my medical treatment and never hesitates to prescribe what is needed to get me well! She’s always cheerful. Appointment availability is great and when I send messages to her, either her or her care team responds and resolves issues right away! Thank-you, Renee Mueller for the fantastic care! ; )

Tammie Honican They are kind, caring and professional! The wait time was only 10 minutes. And I like the fact that Kiaser Permanente has so many in house services, eyes, exrays, lab work and many more services! I would highly recommend this medical facility! I have been a member for 30yrs or more!

judson preece The people that work here are fantastic. They’re very welcoming and understanding of your symptoms and/or situation. They are smart, friendly, intelligent, and empathetic to all of your needs. It was very fast and easy to get in and out with a solution to what I was dealing with. I hope the employees know what a great job they are doing.

Jenniffer Cooke Perfect medical care. Wish this team could be our families primary providers. A family member went in for serious health concerns and this PA-C Tobias Lopez and the Medical Assistant Rita were fantastic. Detailed care, professional and personable, created a plan of action, kind and all without waiting for whenever the primary care office lets you make an appointment. Some things cant wait weeks. I appreciate my family members health being made a priority finally. This office really came through with great care.

Brittani Tyler Dr. Stanley Lee is the BEST!!! He needs more reviews. Our son is 3 years old and he has been a blessing to our family for the last year and a half. Phenomenal doctor who listens to parental concerns and genuinely takes them into consideration.

Amanda Stanton Been a CF patient of first Dr. McCarthy and then Dr. Lambert for years. By far the best CF Clinic weve ever been to (in 4 different states). I highly, highly recommend their Adult CF Care Team.

Rick ONeel what a great place to go, with a process that works so smoothly too !!! they were so good to me and they did their jobs so well, and no issues with my surgery afterwards either, very nice !!! And it was so quick !!! Dr. Lin and the nurses were excellent !!! And as a side note this isnt the first time Dr. Lin did surgery on me, he also removed my appendix in 2015. what a great guy to have on your side and with a staff like them backing him up, you cant go wrong, I had an excellent experience !!! Thank you so much !!!

Cathy Dernbach Dr Lin is an excellent surgeon . He explained to me what he did and what to expect . He was a joy to work with as was the staff at Columbia Surgical . Thank you Dr. Lin!!!

monica ziegler My 7 year old needed a blood draw and I wasn’t sure which one of us was more scared. But Karen the phlebotomist was the absolute BEST. You can tell she’s had years of experience in pediatrics. I didn’t catch name of the medical assistant that also helped but she was great as well. But they both made it a much better experience and this mama greatly appreciates it!

Danielle Chilcott The care my family member and I have received from Dr. Storehaug and his team has been phenomenal. Just today, I had called to speak to one of Dr. Storehaugs staff, and although doctors offices are incredibly busy, staff took time for me. Im so grateful we have them.

Carolyn Stolle Dr Lahtinen has been seeing me for the last 15+ years. He always takes the time to go through all I have going on. I have a spinal cord injury, central cord syndrome with a cord injury after I had a the first surgery where I hemorrhaged. Hes been there every step of the way through the last 7.5 years. Christy Is the very BEST. Ive been able to cry on her shoulder and laugh with her through good times as well as bad times. That office is the best in Spokane.

shelleysue Maxwell I love my doctor (Lahtinen)! He is an awesome doctor! I have been seeing him for years. I hardly ever have to wait in the waiting room, and if i need to see him I can always get an appointment same day or the next, my choice with my doctor! The staff are always very nice! I have very many medical issues, and he takes care of all of them!

Doll MyEyes The schedulers, front desk staff and patient advocates never answer their phones and they are many weeks behind on everything! DONT point this out or point out anything substandard or they will retaliate by telling you one thing then immediately changing it, giving you a fast appointment then immediately canceling it and rescheduling it far into the future and other such retaliatory and unprofessional behavior!! Seriously! It makes a person wonder if the Doctors also have such low levels of personal professional performance!! They dont seem too... But such unilateral poor performance of staff can only be caused by similar lack of professionalism and dedication in those that manage said staff!!!

Jane Morton I have been a patient of this practice for about two years now and they are amazingly responsive, professional, compassionate and caring. I Love Megan Vulcan. She goes out of her way to make sure that she hears me and responds to me and genuinely cares about those in her care. I recently dealt with the office manager over a billing issue and after two weeks of arm wrestling with insurance companies and billing companies Catherine stepped up immediately and listened and responded and genuinely cared. This is a rare and unique group of people and I highly recommend them.

David Smith Ive been taking regular physical therapy for my back and shoulder and have had three different therapists. All are friendly informative and careful not to overwork me or cause unnecessary pain. The desk staff has been very helpful in making the 14 appointments I require and quickly got to know my face at check in making me feel welcome and respected. Even when the waiting room is packed my therapy always starts and ends on time with no unnecessary waiting. Thats a rare find in anything medical these days. Yesterday I had an EKG done in the cardiology clinic and I was taken back 10 minutes early and finished in under half an hour. Providence is running a tight and efficient ship over there.

tlind26 Providence hospital in the valley is by far the best hospital in all of Spokane County. The people are friendly, youre not treated differently because of race, age, ability to pay, no insurance. They treat everybody the same, besides being professional, kind, caring, they are all extremely good at their jobs. I would go here before any place else.

Heather Dalager I love this office and the amazing staff!! I have been seeing Dr. Lahtinen for 25 plus years now. They have always shown my family respect and treated us with dignity. From the office manager Terri who always sorts out any problem I need help with, the billing manager David who has always kept an open line of communication with me, our fantastic nurse Shannon who never misses a beat and goes over and above whenever needed and treats me better than any nurse Ive had in my 50+ years, the front staff Skylar and Kristie that seem to always be able to answer my questions and are always helpful, and Dr. Lahtinen that has always had the utmost care and compassion for my family, I wouldnt trust another doctors office to take care of us as a whole family. I truly feel cared about with all the staff, even when I wasnt always at my best, they were! At no time have I ever felt that my concerns were falling on deaf ears or that they werent taking mine and my families health as a priority. I highly recommend this office if youre looking for amazing providers!

katie jarman I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone. I have been going to this office for about 15 years. My doctor is Dr Lahtien and he is the best! The reason I Stay is because we are not treated like a patient. We are treated like family. every time I come in there my nurse Shannon or Stacy is there with the friendliest smile the warmest greet into the door. I have been treated so well there everyone is so kind and very helpful. Any issues I have ever had it has been handled right away and with such Grace.

Timothy Powell I am perplexed at 2 of the most negative and vehement reviews above and feel obligated to respond to the attack on my character. I invite future readers to do 2 things. Type “Timothy Powell MD Spokane Washington” into a web browser to see over 1000 reviews with a 4.9/5 rating over several physician review corporations. Then specifically look at the Providence Health webpage for nearly 100 written reviews on me and our Epilepsy practice. I have never written a comment on my own review page before, never ever, and hope to never again. I have asked Google to look at one specific review on this page, reporting it as harassment and offensive. They will be making a decision as to whether the one specific review stays on this site. Please understand that I could not let such a personal and hurtful attack go unaddressed. Thank you for understanding and allowing me to do this. It is deeply appreciated. Tim Powell, MD

Kaylin Burnette Dr.Atkins prescribed me medication without taking knowledge of how it could affect my heart condition. Resulting in giving me another heart condition and putting me in a dangerous spot. Dr.Chen loves to cancel your prescriptions if you miss your appointment which is so completely and utterly dangerous to do to someone with epilepsy it is not okay or safe to cold turkey epileptic medication. Even my primary is baffled she would ever do something like this to her patients knowing the dangers of it…..!!! Do not…!!! Trust these two doctors…. I have to go to my primary and get an emergency refill on my meds and a new referral to a new neurologist again.!!!

Christine T I had the pleasure of receiving care from the midwife team throughout my pregnancy, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. They were incredibly attentive, supportive, and always took the time to address my concerns. I felt comfortable and confident in their care every step of the way. Highly recommend!

J Rehm I have seen multiple providers here at multicare OBGYN and midwifery over the last 10 years and I have loved every single experience. From routine prenatal and postpartum care to yearly check ups I have never been disappointed. We recently moved father away and I will continue to make the drive to stay in their care!

David Lewis I came here for a follow up on a heart procedure that I had at sacred heart medical center the week before. I was greeted quickly and asked to fill out paperwork . The staff was courteous and asked me to sit down and I would be seen shortly. They were true to their word. I was called in about three minutes. My vitals were taken and recorded and the doctor was in the room within 5 minutes. He treated me as if I was his only patient for the day. He answered every question and asked if I had additional concerns. You could not ask for better care. Thank you doctor Appel and your entire staff. Wish I could give you 10 stars. Thank you for having the huge American flag in your lobby area.

Mike Mohondro Great group of professionals and friendly staff. Though I am very appreciative I would comment that they are real slow on following up with test results. I’m still waiting on results of a Holter Monitor and it creates stress I don’t need.

Hilary Smith I really disliked Dr. Nancy Nichols. I’ve asked for a new doctor before I give up. The place really looks bad. I don’t know if it’s clean but it’s very shabby. There’s a huge pull in the rug right by the elevator that will trip someone. Good thing that elevator rarely works. Old hand written signs are taped everywhere. It does not look professional or cared for. The staff in the lab is fabulous.

Diana Magnin Dr. Ahmad is kind, patient, and very thorough. Lucky to have found her! She is a great internal medicine physician.

Hannah Huggins Disappointed with the Lack of Care and Compassion I had a really disappointing experience with Spokane OBGYN. I was experiencing bleeding along with a positive pregnancy test and wasn’t sure what to do. Not feeling like it was an emergency, I called their office three separate times in one day in hopes of speaking with a nurse and did not hear back until much later in the afternoon. When they finally returned my call, I explained my situation, expecting some guidance or reassurance. Instead, I was told to go to urgent care just for a pregnancy test—something I could have done on my own. I asked if I could at least schedule an appointment in case things progressed or changed, but the person on the phone first said yes, then retracted the offer, saying they “wouldn’t know what to schedule it under” since my pregnancy status was uncertain. This was incredibly frustrating—why not just get me on the books and figure it out later? Even if it was just for peace of mind, some level of care and support would have made a huge difference. I had hoped this office would be a place I could turn to for questions, concerns, and guidance, especially since I had never experienced a possible miscarriage before. But instead of feeling supported, I felt brushed off and disregarded. Even though this wasn’t an emergency and I was still in very early pregnancy, I did not feel like I was treated with care, concern, or compassion—which is the bare minimum I would expect from an OBGYN office. I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone looking for a provider who genuinely listens and supports their patients.

K B Made an appointment for an annual exam for 1:40 and was told to arrive at 1:25, which I did. I was called back around my appointment time, the nurse checked me in and was told to strip down to wait for my NP. It wasnt until 2:18pm that a different NP came in and said she would do my exam and then my regular NP would come in after. I had to pick my kid up from school at 2:40 and it is almost a 20 minute drive. The NP that saw me only did a breast exam (not sure why I had to be completely naked for this) and no pelvic exam, then my usual NP came in to ask if I had questions which I had ZERO time to ask at this point since I was already very late to pick up my kid. I scheduled this appointment with plenty of time to be seen and get to my childs school on time. I find it very unprofessional to ask your patients to come in 15 minutes early but your providers to be so behind that I wasnt seen until almost an hour had passed from my original arrival time. If you expect your patients to be early or at least timely, I expect the same professional courtesy. Im sure I was charged an upwards of $200 for this annual exam turned breast exam. I am overall very disappointed in the lack of care I received today, how late my NP was, and there being no communication about the long wait.

Jake Reinert Dr Stryker is amazing! Always spends time listening to my concerns, is caring, and always knowledgeable. The office and nursing staff are also great. Highly recommend as a primary care doctor!

Shiloh Reynolds I called at 10 AM and was seen same day. Upon arrival parking was not too bad and plenty of overflow. I entered the clinic and was greeted by the Covid checker who was nice and cool about it all. Receptionist/desk staff were more than helpful and answered my questions and directed me to where I was supposed to go and when without being rude or taking to me like I had an extra head or something. Intake/triage nurse was awesome and the doctor I saw was outstanding as well. They treated me with respect at all times. Had a biopsy done on my leg and it went smoothly. Doctor and nurses bed side manner was excellent as well. Really hard to complain when you are treated so well. I would recommend this clinic to anyone needing to see a Primary Care doctor or N.P. Ect. Always cool to see the parking lot security/attendants being deer.
