Northwest Medicine - Yakima (WA)

5 /5 KATHY HENRY: When I turned 65 and was new to Medicare, I had to find a doctor who would accept Medicare. I had called around and was told the doctor in question was not taking any new or more Medicare patients. I called Dr. Mark Joys office where my husband goes and was told the same. I went to the appointment with my husband as he was already established with Dr. Joy, and I told him I needed a doctor and was sorry he wasnt taking new patients. He told me to have the front office make an appointment for me as I was "part of the family" and he welcomed me to his practice. I really respect and admire Dr. Mark Joy as he treats me as a friend as well as a patient. He listens, gives good advice and makes me feel he really cares, as do Sarah, his nurse, and Daisy in the front office. Thank you, all, at Northwest Medicine for your kindness and friendship!

5 /5 3 Arts of Healing: The staff and Doctors are wonderful at NorthWest Medicine! I feel so fortunate and grateful to have found Dr. Mark Joy. He cares, listens and is thorough. It took me several years to find a good Doctor here in Yakima. I have always been able to get an appointment. Medications are filled in a timely manner and the staff is friendly and on top of things. Thank you Northwest Medicine!

5 /5 Bob Lund: After a successful back surgery performed in Seattle, everything looked to be progressing well, especially after stitches removed. Then 2 weeks later, an infection began raising my temperatures, with feverish conditions and growing concerns. Dr. Eduardo Meirelles at N.W. Medicine was called in. Another surgical procedure was immediately performed by Dr. Meirelles and weeks of continued daily observation was carried out. The care and attention to details performed by Dr. Meirelles and his staff was above and beyond my expectations. Born in the time of Dr.s making house calls, I havent received that level of care since then, until arriving at Northwest Medicine. What a great team with a truly remarkable leader in Dr. Meirelles at the helm. Thanks again for the help and continued support.

5 /5 Launa Gray: I have gone through multiple tests, injections, MRIs and physical therapy throughout the years and never fully knew what was going on with me. I had given up on the idea that I might find out what was causing the pain. Dr. Lukose was my last chance. It felt like other doctors werent interested in what was causing the pain and made me feel like I was crazy. He went out of his way to talk to me, listen to my symptoms, he went through my x-rays, brought out books to show me what he thinks was happening and he also discussed the results of my MRIs. He was determined as much as I was to figure out the problem. As of today, I believe that I am finally going down the right path in my recovery. I am so thankful for Dr. Lukose and everything that he has done for me.
