Nicole M. Breen, DO - Spokane (WA)

5 /5 Kathryn Hillman: I found Dr. Breen when I first moved to Spokane and wanted to establish a family doctor for myself, as well as my husband and future children. In our first appt, she was attentive as I explained to her how important it was for me to have one doctor to care for all of us (an all of my opinions). She was up for the challenge---she delivered both of our babies and is still our doctor 7 years later. Dr. Breen and her team have been deeply caring, responsive, patient and collaborative during our healthcare needs. Highly recommend!

5 /5 Vivian G: Dr Breen is our pediatrician and I absolutely love her. She’s very thorough in all of our checkups and makes sure to sit down with us and answer any questions. She’s very sweet with my son. She’s also almost always on time, which seems to be hard to find these days. Usually in and out in 15-20 minutes depending on what’s needed, but it’s a very thorough 20 minutes. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a good pediatrician

1 /5 ̇: Dr. Breen was suggested to me by a friend when I was looking for a new GP due to mine retiring, and I really cant understand why. Dr. Breen has always shrugged off any concerns Ive brought up with her. She told me my xray results and urine tests were normal, despite both returning with abnormalities. My UTI went untreated for two weeks until I went to a different physician at a different office. She prescribes physical therapy for any pain, even if I tell her that it flares up due to activity or overuse, and shows absolutely no concern. I brought up a small problem I had that could possibly be linked to other issues, and all she asked me was if its interfering with my quality of life and shrugged me off when I said no. The office she practices in is also incredibly greedy, and the staff has been nothing but rude. You get charged an extra $20 if you bring up any health concerns or a doctor asks you a question about your health, even at annual physicals, because it "wasnt the purpose of the appointment". I have been charged extra when one of the doctors at this office asked a question regarding my blood pressure. I did not ask this question or bring it up and I was charged extra for it. Whats the purpose of a physical, the appointment to check on my health, if I cant even discuss my health? I have never experienced care as horrible as I have through this doctor and this office. Its nearly impossible to get my prescriptions and she is completely apathetic to any issues I bring up. Multiple of my family members have had similar experiences with her and we are all looking for a new GP at a different office.

5 /5 Lauren Blumenthal: I’ve been seeing Dr. Breen for 3+ years and absolutely love the care she provides. I really enjoy that she’s very matter of fact and has been so flexible and receptive to all of my medication needs. I’ve seen many doctors over the course of my life and none have provided me with the type of care she has.

1 /5 Deanna Mcclain: I immediately did not care for her dismissive eccentric personality. Since personality isnt the most important characteristic in a physician, I continued to visit her until I realized being dismissive wasnt just a personality trait, but she truly doesnt seem to care about her patients and its who she is. Im 58 years old and have never experienced a physician that seemed to care less than Dr. Breen. She could have cost me my life. Thank God I obtained a second opinion. I had contracted a DVT and 2 pulmonary embolisms should after a major surgery. She continued to tell me it wasnt protocol to be rechecked prior to stopping blood thinners. Due to having a friend that had been rechecked, I decided to get a second opinion. Stopping blood thinners and just hoping the DVT was gone and wouldnt break off into my lungs just didnt feel right. She wouldnt refill my blood thinners. The new physician immediately scheduled me for tests to recheck the clot, embolisms and refilled my blood thinners until we received the results. Always advocate for yourself. If it doesnt feel right, its probably not!
