It doesn't feel like you're going to a doctors appointment in any of the less desirable ways, but definitely feels like it in all the good ways that reinforce you're getting the best quality care. A good friend of mine found BoxBar while researching her own venous condition and is already seeing major improvements in her quality of life. I went in with my mom and the staff was great at getting us scheduled back to back since I'm the driver. Our successive appointments are scheduled the same way, and they really care about being accessible. I also have my own slew of rare autoimmune diagnoses, and a couple are comorbid with their own vascular risks / stroke risks so I wanted to get a thorough assessment with some hard data. We're getting all the data. Dr. Derrick was familiar with a lot of nuanced factors and details tied to my diagnoses I've never seen any other doctor outside of rheumatology have any in depth knowledge over. It was a pleasant surprise and incredibly validating.

I got the sclerotherapy for spider veins and it was minimally painful. Everyone from the front desk staff to the people who bring you in to the rooms are very friendly.

I live about 25 min away and I'd gladly make the drive to see this team. Glad to have used them and hope they help many future patients live healthier and happier lives.

Dr. Johansen (recently retired) is kind, empathetic, patient, and adamant that I had the best care. My surgery was postponed due to COVID-19, and he advocated for me in a way I have never seen from a doctor. Post-op, he called me 1-2x a week to make sure I was doing okay. I also had the opportunity to build a relationship with the administrative staff (specifically, Cynthia and Chris). I had to call them frequently to ask for paperwork support. They were always patient and hilarious. Because of my health, I've been to a lot of different healthcare offices - very rarely will you find people SO invested in you as a patient. They're quick to respond to emails, and will go the extra mile to make sure that you are taken care of.

Our mother has been a patient of DR Pham for at least four years. She has peripheral arterial…read moredisease which causes plaque to build up in the arteries in her legs reducing blood flow and has at times completely blocked arteries. All caused from 50 years of smoking. We were referred here by DR Buckler, her cardiologist, after her first surgery was botched and she contracted an infection, which settled in her spine and almost killed her at Virginia Mason. DR Pham has proven to be Mom's Guardian Angel and has saved one leg or the other or her life more times that I can keep track of. She is not only Mom's favorite doctor, but one of her favorite people! Her skills are unmatched. And no matter what hospital, ER, clinic, or specialist we are at, Everyone knows DR Pham and has nothing but good things to say about her and that she is the best vascular surgeon around! Thanks to DR Pham and her team for helping to keep Mom with us for a little longer!

Got an online video consultation with Sarah about my concerns, and she explained the available treatments and scheduled me with Margot. Third time with Margot, and my skin is already much healthier. She is honest about what these machines can and cannot do for you and adjusts the skincare strategy accordingly. Last but not least, there is no judgment passed, snobbery, or anything. They're here to improve your quality of life, they love what they're doing, and they're good at it. ... And their new location kicks !@#. ;-)

Hi! Just for anyone…read moreout there who sees another review that is negative, don't let that stop you from calling this office. The person who posted that review went on a 2 mile bike ride right after surgery so that's definitely not the doctors fault. I had an incredible experience with the doctor, nursing staff, and the entire office. I am someone who is scared of doctors and they made my care as calm as possible. I had an incredible surgery and my after care was better than I could have imagined. I had no complications and my surgical scars are almost completely gone.

They took no accountability to say "we include excessive bleeding" as being normal which I call BI will never go back and do not recommend them to anyone. If I could I would give them ZERO stars.

So, due to problems, I searched and seeked another surgeon who could properly fix my husband's fistula. Well, I found Dr. Matthew E. Bennett and I saw that he was located at Virginia Mason, which for us, was a plus, since my husband's transplant team is also at Virginia Mason. Anyway, back to Dr. Bennett. He was great. He was thorough, he answered questions, he made sure we had all the information we needed. He did the surgery and my husband's arm looked so much better than we thought it would. Dr Bennett did a great job. Super incredible. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this guy. I wish more dr's were like him. He listens to his patients, he calms their concerns and fears, and just an overall great dr. I'm so glad he's the one my husband saw.

After five years, fibroids regrew--which is not uncommon. I went in for imaging every 10 months or…read moreso to keep track of fibroid growth and I'm glad I did. Around the five year mark, they found adenomyosis, which is a common side effect of any gynecological surgery. It appeared on my surgical sites. This isn't the doctor's fault, but it's useful to know and to get imaging for it in the years after surgery. Problem is, when I went back to Dr Winner about a 2nd myomectomy, she encouraged me to do the myomectomy--which could have further increased my Adenomyosis issue. Mine was caused by surgery. The risk of more Adenomyosis was high with another myomectomy. Also, the iron testing she does before surgery is very general--I was anemic (at 24) when her test said my iron was fine. The Adenomyosis was making me anemic (it bizarrely hoards iron in the uterus). At no point did doctor winner advise me that there were other options for treating the Adenomyosis, like HIFU and UAE--both don't require traditional surgery and have great results for fibroids and Adenomyosis while preserving the uterus and eliminating the other health issues from Adenomyosis. This isn't fair to patients. I don't regret my 2020 surgery with Dr. Winner at all, myomectomy was my only choice with a massive fibroid and Winner was 100% the right choice. But when I complained of surgical site pain at my belly button, she didn't inform me that this could be a common side effect of the surgery where bits of endometrial lining could be accidentally left there--causing, essentially, endometriosis. There are interventional radiology treatments that are outpatient for this common side effect. Finding out that crucial context on my conditions had been left out by Dr. Winner in consultations was... not trust building. Dr. Winner should give patients more well rounded advice even if it means they don't choose surgery with her. She's amazing at getting big fibroids out with virtually no scars, doing endo excision, etc., but if you have post surgical issues or adenomyosis or fibroids that are 5-7cm and under, you may want to seek other consultations with interventional radiologists. Ultimately, I traveled to another state to get uterine artery embolization to kill off the fibroids and adenomyosis, which is performed through a single vein. No scars, no need for healing up my abdominal wall, and very little risk of causing more adenomyosis. 1.5 months out, my stomach has shrunk, my inflammation is down, my cycles are cycling and I feel great. I'll go in for cryo treatment of the belly button endo soon. --But I had to do extensive research and find other options all on my own. It would've been the kind thing to do to refer me to other practitioners so I could get the results I needed--elimination of adenomyosis and reducing risk of more adenomyosis sites.
