Care Medical Group - Bellingham (WA)

1 /5 Terra West: After smashing my hip with a 40 pound piece of concrete and being an excruciating pain, I waited in the lobby for 5 1/2 hours to be seen after they told me 2 hours.Only to have the doctor, tell me “you have bones in your hips and sometimes when you bump them, it hurts” and to write me a prescription for some Aleve. I could care less about the prescription. He never even looked at my hip. He didn’t look at how I could stand on it. He literally never even touched the site of injury or looked at it Absolutely pathetic. My vet takes better care of my dog. I’m so disgusted with the lack of care in this office. It’s appalling. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

1 /5 Thomas Gillaspy: This place sucks. walk-in wait times are hours long yet when its finally your turn you only have 10 minutes to make it before they push you back in line. If you want to schedule an appointment, you HAVE to call, and when you call you get put on hold for a long time in most cases. The place is just horribly organized. $50 copay every visit. I really feel for the staff here because they are very nice people that have to work in a disorganized mess. Save your time and money and never go here! :)

1 /5 Michellee Vedder: Came to this Dr office after my Dr couldnt get me in for several months with a sprained wrist that led to Gangleon Cyst. Took using the walk in to do my appts, got the surgery that I needed to & in the middle of physical therapy in their office, the Dr decided to release me from light duty because I had resigned from my job, while I was still under a weight limit of lifting only 3 lbs. This prevented me from finishing physical therapy unless I went to the walk in to try to talk the Dr into restarting my entire claim. During my walk in waits, I would sit for several hours, just to watch people who personally knew the Dr walk in & immediately be seen without anything emergency wise to push them to the front of the line of walk ins. This Dr has horrible bed side manner & should never allow his friends to go ahead of other people who wait for hours to be seen. After being released from light duty, I ended up reinjuring my wrist which requires another surgery to properly address my injury.

5 /5 Miles Palmerton: Came in on the weekend with nothing major but I had two things I wanted to get checked out. Normally, you need a separate appointment for each issue but since the severity of both were minimal, I was able to get seen for both. Front desk was friendly, giving me an accurate wait time which allowed me to run to the grocery store! Melissa was the attending doctor that day and she was very efficient and informative on my needs. Care medical is my go to doctors office for everything. I also use them to schedule physicals for employees I have or will hire and they are typically the fastest to get new hires in. Good job Care medical team!

5 /5 Cladoselache: Feeling sheepish about presenting a minor injury, namely an embedded splinter that had healed over and was causing a good deal of restriction in the use of the hand, the staff laughed it off and quickly and efficiently removed it. Im grateful to Melissa and everyone there.
