Also, my entire medical team knew that we are struggling with not having stable housing, and they were more concerned about us receiving in person care than to come up with a true workable solution to help get us into permanent housing, especially knowing that we have barriers that make all shelters completely inaccessible due to being substantially disabled and refused us help every time we asked for it! They used to be really good, but not anymore! They don't care about their medically vulnerable patients at all!

All things considered this is a great option for urgent care in Bellingham. I'm a healthy person…read morebut I've been in here a couple of times and even when they're busy they get you seen pretty quick. In comparison I remember one morning waiting at the urgent care across the street for 4 hours with my child who had a double ear infection. I wish I had know about this clinic then! Most recently I had cut my thumb and needed sutures. I arrived at the clinic at around 7:00 PM and was out of there with 7 sutures in about 45 mins. The staff are very friendly and courteous which frequently is an area that healthcare clinics ignore.

Knowing the long waits (and possibly financial challenges) of a visit to the ER I instead opted for a trip to the Same Day Care Clinic. I was pleasantly surprised! From the friendly greeting at the front desk to the very professional doctor who decided I was even sicker than I felt, I was in and out in less than an hour. I left with a nice set of instructions for my own care, and when my symptoms worsened two days later I returned and was (again) treated with empathy and understanding. Oh, and a prescription for strong antibiotics and bedrest! It's nice to know we have such a facility here in Bham, and that there's another option besides the ER when things are urgent but not to the point of dialing 9-1-1.

She's also been helpful with referrals to other providers, like cardiology, imaging, and sleep.

It was ultimately approved, and I still wasn't told; not by Lisa or Mt. Baker Imaging. It wasn't until many months later that the NEXT providor caught it. The pain during this time increased until I could barely walk. They appear to care, but much falls through the cracks. Patients would be best advise to check their providers work for thoroughness and accuracy. Especially if you have a large patient file. They don't review the entire file, maybe the first few pages at best. They've cared for me since 2016, their providers last anywhere from 12-16 months. The assistant who worked with one of my many providers told me they are only there for the experience. I believe it.

All of the providers in this office (dr. Casey lien, Dr. Steven bloom, Dr. Megan Gruber, Dr…read more heather thompson) make parenting and my own health feel so much easier and supported. They are on top of my health and my kids, they go to the root problem before offering pills (hard to find that) and they care about my kids and myself and our health. They evaluate our whole selves (family history, nutrition, physical exercise, and our biology). I have always gotten right in and labs or scans done if needed right away. I count my blessings every night and they are in them. Thank you with all my heart.
