He was the third…read morespecialist I had been referred to in dealing with a sudden onset of symptoms and was able to figure out what was going on when each of the other Drs I had seen had not been able to. His thorough exam and meticulous gathering of information impressed me right off, and when he was able to offer a difinitive diagnosis and help me deal with what was happening I was extremely grateful. I look forward to my visits in his office quarterly as he truly does care about each of his patients. I could not say enough nice things about him.

One of the worst doctor visits I have ever had. First Dr Graf was put off that I hadn't received…read morethe Covid vaccine, and wasn't interested in getting it. I went to him with a laundry list of health issues, he looked at my previous doctors notes, hadn't even looked at the paperwork I had completed or the MultiCare website information I had filled out, he told me I didn't need the treatment he had me on, and sent me on my way to a weight-loss specialist. No testing was done, and when I asked about it, he said he was using the tests that were done a year and a half ago. Yet the illness and the symptoms were still there. It was expensive and I waited months for the appointment. Terrible experience. I was heartbroken and desperate for someone to help me with my health issues. My primary care physician was flabbergasted by Dr Graf's lack of treatment. He left me feeling marginalized and unimportant.

I've been going to Dr. Tribble for about 3 years now. I wanted a female doctor and someone on the…read moreyounger end of the range. I really like her. She's easy to talk to, answers all my questions with care, and doesn't rush our appointments. She'll talk through my options and isn't pushy. She also was supportive of my desire to get Mirena IUD and had no problem giving me a referral. Plus she's at Polyclinic and I've had no issues with the last three insurance carriers I've used.

This review covers attitude and bedside manner only. I am not commenting on this doctor's technical…read moreskills or general competency outside of bedside manner. I am shocked by the experience that I just had with Dr. Tribble. She was the on-call doctor for my regular doctor who perscriped me some emergency medication for a terrible cough I was trying to ease before leaving the country for two weeks. Two of my five prescriptions still hadn't reached the pharmacy two hours after the other three. So I called to let the doctor know and request that the two missing prescriptions be called in. Dr. Tribble called me back promptly but I was on a noisy bus and didn't hear the phone. Fifteen minutes had passed before I listened to her message. She requested that I call back with the names of the prescription, which I did. She then called me back again and was more rude than a doctor has ever been to me. Unfortunately I am in a position to deal with doctors on a very regular basis and frequently need to make requests of on-call doctors. I have never had an experience that even comes close to the rudeness and the combative attitude that Dr. Tribble displayed. I still can't figure out what her motivation was for acting that way. If being treated decently is important to you, I strongly urge you not to see this doctor. If you don't care about that, she might be a perfectly fine fit for you.

I can not begin to explain what a wonderful physician Dr Bulley is. He takes the time to really…read morelisten to my concerns and questions. I have a complex medical condition and it would be very easy for a doctor to dismiss an ailment as being caused by that condition (as many doctors have in the past). Dr Bulley, however, is willing to look beyond that. He has a very caring bedside manner and really makes me feel like I am being heard. I cannot recommend him more highly.

Only 4-Stars due to the staff being somewhat "pushy" with regards to selling us (wife & I) new glasses. We went in explaining we are retirees on Medicare with Aetna Insurance (supplemental). One of the staff members checked our medical coverage and immediately said we needed to pay $39.00 each for the exams. My wife explained that we shouldn't be charged due to our age and we are diabetic (this exam being our annual check-up), and we've never been charged before. She then checked again and came back and said, "Oh, your exams are free". I understand that LensCrafters is in the business to make money, but being retired and on fixed incomes we cannot afford $400+ for glasses (each). The person assisting us was somewhat reluctant to give us our prescriptions, but my wife was persistent and we obtained copies of our prescriptions. Nice selection of frames with high-class names (Ray Ban, Stetson, etc.), but when you add up the costs of new frames ($188-$200+) and lenses, they quickly become cost prohibitive. As stated in the begging of this review, Dr. Pham was knowledgeable and great to talk with. We'll more than likely be back next year for our annual exams.

My husband and I found Dr Raisis to be very friendly, respectful and great bedside manner. I am very, very picky about who my doctors are, and I immediately felt very comfortable with Dr Raisis. In the recovery room I heard staff talking about him, and they had nothing but good things to say about him. In my book, if medical staff speaks highly of a doctor, that is who I'm going too see! Dr Pritchett made a good choice!! Two wonderful doctors, and this morning, I'm sore but no real pain!! I was told to expect lots of pain post op...doesn't seem to be happening! And I credited those two doctors and the great staff at Swedish Ortho Insitiute!!

I don't live in Seattle anymore so this review is rather overdue, but I am currently reviewing my…read morerecords from Dr. Raisis and his colleague Dr. Steege, which reminded me I wanted to review them here. Dr. Raisis in particular was completely disinterested in my case; he was never receptive to anecdotes that would help explain my symptoms (in fact, he outright said he had never seen my particular issue in his career, when in fact it is a fairly common issue and relatively easy to see on diagnostic images, according to information I've gathered and surgeons I've met in the meantime). For a few years I defended him, saying that while his bedside manner was terrible, he was a good "mechanic." That changed when I was diagnosed and treated for a rare infection that Dr. Raisis had neglected to warn me was a possibility of the last surgery he had done on me. In fact, Dr. Steege had seen me while I was trying to get a diagnosis, and he correctly guessed what was wrong but dismissed me saying that couldn't be the case. By the time my infection was diagnosed, there was an imminent threat of kidney failure (yes, stemming from a neuro issue!). I would not recommend Dr. Raisis or his colleague Dr. Steege. Terrible customer service, and negligent doctors with little interest in cases they do not find compelling.

She's extremely thorough, smart, warm and personable. And while her practice uses the best of technology, the way she practices medicine is reminiscent of a time when there were no HMOs, insurance companies or 15-minute appointment allotments. Yep, Dr. Marshall will actually spend A LOT of time getting to know and treating you, even though that runs counter to maximizing profits! I also appreciate that Dr. Marshall practices holistic medicine; I see it as getting the best of both worlds. She's very knowledgeable about nutrition, acupuncture, naturopathy, physical medicine, and of course, Western medicine. The Eylan Health office is clean, relaxing, organized, and I haven't had any trouble getting appointments. I like using the Eylan Health E-Portal to schedule appointments, upload docs, get lab orders and communicate with Dr. Marshall (I haven't gotten on board with the MyChart system at our other doctors quite yet). Oooh, and the office is right down the street from Mayuri Indian Cuisine, a fantastic choice if you're in the mood for Indian food. But here's my #1 reason for being a Dr. Marshall/Eylan Health fan: I'm actually feeling BETTER after a month of simple changes and Dr. Marshall's treatments! I've been seeing health practitioners and trying every reasonable treatment under the sun [well, that I can actually afford] to deal with my musculoskeletal issues for nearly a decade now. Yet in the past 6 weeks since seeing Dr. Marshall, I've become convinced that my body is actually starting to heal (or at least it's not reacting so poorly to every little stress). Honestly, I didn't expect these kind of results at all, so color me shocked and delighted! I have definitely spent the past year especially working HARD on my health, so I like to think those efforts prepared my body to be receptive to Dr. Marshall's treatments. The treatments I've had have been so gentle that I couldn't imagine how they could benefit me, by the way - there's no spine cracking or painful injections involved! Your mileage may vary, but my best advice is to give Dr. Marshall and whatever she prescribes for you a try because she's an excellent doctor who will truly give your WHOLE health the time, energy, care and attention it deserves. Take this review to heart; Dr. Andrea Marshall at Eylan Health is a unique gem. Just don't take my preferred appointment time (I make a trafficky trek to see Dr. Marshall)! ;-)

I went to see Dr Bridges whose first words were " I have a plenty of time". She listened to my lengthy explanation then she diagnosed me as radiation pneumonitis. Showing me the results of my CT scan, she explained with carefully chosen words so that I clearly understood. She was knowledgeable, encouraging, kind, personable, and I was pleasantly surprised to know a doctor like her still exists. She reads my messages and responds to me with personal caring notes, while there are fewer doctors nowadays who read and respond to their patients' messages. I was very impressed with Dr. Bridges. She is one of best doctors I have met. I recommend her highly. The Polyclinic should be proud to have a doctor like her.
