I saw two Neurosurgical doctors for my cervical and lumbar spine issues. The first Doctor said I…read morewas born without some cervical disks. His parting comment was "have a good life". He declined to review my previous imaging showing proof of declining disk health (I was born with all of them). What kind of Doctor declines to review all available data, especially concerning the spine/brain? I won't name him. But then a second opinion with Dr Gorrepatti was incredible. He gave me a cervical fusion which relieved ALL my pain issues! I was able to stop taking the high doses of oxytocin. It's been 6 months and I've lost 25 pounds and I'm back to running 5 miles Thank you to Dr Gorrepati!!!

The surgeon was OK but some of the office staff are very rude. I pointed out that no one answered…read moreany emails that I sent and I was told in a very rude manner that they only check emails once a month and to call if I want to talk to someone. I asked about the patient portal and she said that it is only for requesting records even though they have messages clearly marked on the page. I suggested that they should put a notice on their website to tell people to call instead of emailing. Overall she was kind of rude and talked over me and I had to talk louder to get a word in. Not a good experience. I should have gotten this persons name but i was too upset. I don't recommend this place.

When I first came to Dr Borys I was in daily chronic pain, had a diagnosis of POTS, unknown neurological symptoms, panic attacks, on pharmaceutical medications etc. Dr Borys encouraged me to listen to my body/body's wisdom: that a lot of my symptoms were due to trauma/stress. Dr Borys encouraged me to follow that and referred me through somatic therapy where I eventually did medicine-assisted therapy. At the same time, he supported me in changing my diet and provided natural remedies/tools. I'm am so thankful for his wisdom, compassion and commitment. His connections to other supportive doctors. I'm thankful to have my health back and that I have a doctor that helps get to the root causes of health issues.

I have never been to a drs office like this one. My husband has MS and we scheduled and…read moreappointment. I asked over the phone if the dr prescribed a certain pain med because it's what my husband takes. Apparently the dr thought my huband was a junkie or something because with out telling us our appointment was cancelled. We found this out when we showed up for the appointment after waiting 3 weeks for the appointment. We are going to stay with our current dr in Seattle and just make the 2 hr trip there when needed. If she is your dr. I certainly hope she treats you better.

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. After growing up and seeing doctors feed loved one opioids and being effected by it, I cannot express my gratitude enough to them for their morals and methods. thank you team!!

I am a retired cop with 30 years of service. I definitely got a bit beat up on the job…read more Over the last two years I have had severe back pain and atrophy in my right leg, with numbness all the way to my foot and into my groin. I was told by an anesthesiologist treating me nerves in my lower back are being compressed. He did not say how. I have done PT, yoga and injections to no avail. I don't smoke, I am not overweight and I am in good shape otherwise. That said, my condition has progressively worsened. I was referred to Dr. Hoekema by the doctor who gave me injections in my back. As it turns out, Hoekema does not see people until he sees an MRI, even with a doctor's referral. I sent him the MRI I had just gotten. After waiting weeks, my Primary Care Physician contacted me and told me Hoekema would not see me because he did not think he could do anything for me. I got no consultation, no physical eval and most importantly...no explanation of what exactly is going on with my back and what to expect as I move forward. This is not my first rodeo when it comes to back issue back issues. I have been to three orthopedic surgeons over the years. They each examined me, reviewed MRIs with me, told me what the mechanical issues were and gave me their diagnosis and recommendations. Two times I avoided surgery and one I did not. Reviews of Hoekema make it seem like he is a bit of a jerk. Heck....the doctor who referred me implied he was. My experience (or lack thereof) with the good doctor does not do anything to contradict that. Frankly, someone needs to remind the good doctor he exists to care for patients. Shame on Peace Health for taking "care" out of Healthcare and thank you UW Med for giving me an appointment with a surgeon in a timely manner. Maybe I don't need surgery....maybe I do, but I expect the doctor there will tell me what exactly is going on with my back and recommend a path forward instead of just blowing me off.

I found Bonnie Sprague purely as a fluke - I am so glad things happened in the universe that the…read moreconnection was made. Having largely sworn off western medicine for most of my adult life, I found the route of naturopathy to be more in alignment with healthcare, as in caring for peoples health. The holistic route. Having been physically active my life, when my body started behaving differently, I was not happy with the change. I was even less happy with the fact that no one in my western medicine community took my concerns seriously. Big hospitals and doctors that came highly recommended failed me time after time. Having moved to a new community and not having made new healthcare connections, I was in a place to start looking at starting over. Basically firing my fancy doctor and looking for a great doctor within the BIPOC Community. It was during this process that I learned about Bonnie and her work. I had never been to someone practicing functional medicine. Oddly, I don't even think I've ever researched down that path. But she came highly recommended and she accepts my insurance so I made an appointment. My initial appointment with Bonnie was very reminiscent of visits with former naturopath. Her approach is thoughtful and holistic. Her questioning was good and relevant and careful and inquisitive. She not only listened, but she heard what I was saying about my concerns - she tracked what I was saying, and asked questions to dive deeper. She ordered bloodwork that I needed to start getting answers. Bloodwork that I wasn't able to get from others because they wouldn't listen to me. Because she listened and was proactive, I'm now on a path of Collecting information that will tell a story. With that story will come actual health care. If you're feeling like you're not being heard and you're tired of getting blown off by providers with fancy titles doling out shitty care, check out functional medicine and Bonnie Sprague.

Ladies, there comes a time in your life (cough, middle age?!!) where having a doctor who truly…read moreunderstands you is a necessity... it took many, many attempts to find a medical office ...not just in Bellingham..in other states.. I would describe Bonnie's style as old-school...the most amazing thing about Bonnie, is not her years of experience, quaint office with easy parking and convenient location, highly professional staff..Sandra is a gem !! But the fact that Bonnie LISTENS!! Yep!! She truly does!! She actually takes the time to sit down and make sure she understands exactly what YOUR concerns are. I so appreciate this woman and her impeccable skills, judgment on numerous issues at this point. I would be lost without her! If you are reading this and liking what I am telling you, please let's keep it between us as we don't want her to turn into a doc-in-the-box kind office with plastic people and their artificial smiles as they swipe your card.. Bonnie is the real deal! Oh and I don't mean to be exclusionary.. I'm sure she treats other/all genders.
