Island Health - Anacortes (WA)

5 /5 Etepa Maines: I’ve been in and out of the ER multiple times due to severe hypotension in my pregnancy. I’ve hated going in every single time because our entire trip takes about 3-4 hours for the same spiel. Vitals, fluids, do these things to help at home. But the staff have NEVER made me feel like an inconvenience for getting fluids and have taken the time to talk to me every time. They never assume that’s what I’m here for and take the time to access me every time. Now I regularly get fluids at the infusion center so no more late night ER visits. The staff at the infusion center are always happy to help and they ask about my toddler who sometimes accompanies me. Some of the nurses remember me from the ER visits and ask me how I’m doing now. I barely remember them but the fact that they remember me really shows how much they care about their patients.

5 /5 Star Reed: Dr. Brittany Whitaker is a wonderful provider! She is very thorough and has consistently shown compassion and truly listened to all of my concerns. As a healthcare provider myself, I can attest that Dr. Whitaker is well rounded and demonstrates superior medical expertise and experience. She also recognizes the importance in continuity of care. When concerns arise, she never hesitates to make referrals when needed. Her approach is clearly patient centered. I feel heard and respected during every visit. I cannot praise her enough! Thank you Dr. Whitaker! Additionally, through Dr. Whitakers referrals, I have also seen Dr. Sara Weeks and Dr. Stephen Horras and both providers are wonderful!

5 /5 George Hatfield: My experience with the Island Hospital ER was excellent. I was admitted to the ER quickly, and the care was excellent. Maybe it was a slow night, but there seemed to be adequate staff and I was frequently monitored and kept informed during my stay. In short, I was impressed.

5 /5 Sierra Olivier: Cindy over in the laboratory was AMAZING! Everyone there had always told me I have small veins or they were in hard to reach places. This made my Lab experience a lot more painful and dreadful. Cindy though was so good at her job, she said I didn’t have small veins and she basically flicked the needle into the vein so quick I didn’t feel anything!
