Schaffner Pharmacy & Apothecary Coffee. My husband and I…read morereceived our shingles and pneumonia vaccines this week. Not that we enjoy getting poked but we did enjoy meeting Michael, who administered our shots. Thank you for being so informative and making the process as painless as possible. We find the whole staff very friendly and we appreciate the time they take to inform and answer any questions we might have. We definitely recommend them for vaccines, prescriptions and they have great coffee and treats too!

My family moved to Schaffner after using Rite Aid…read more The difference is significant. They fill prescriptions quickly but the main point is the staff. They are so friendly and caring. It's like having a family friend help you out. They know all our names and who we are when we pull up. They respond quickly to text messages through their app. They have a nice inside shop too. If you happen to hate ugly compression socks, they have a lot of colorful, interesting pairs there. We have a trans family member and the staff instantly made note and they consistently make sure that they use the proper pronouns. They are exactly how a pharmacy should be. There are only two cons. They are understandable, but not convenient sometimes: 1. They are closed on weekends. 2. They close at 6pm That's it, and those are cons I can live with. I can't recommend Schaffner Pharmacy enough!

We absolutely loved Pediatric Associates of Whidbey. The staff is incredible, kind, understanding…read moreand they go above and beyond in meeting any and all needs. Such a wonderful experience and we were a sad to leave them due to a military move.

The staff was nice enough(there was an offhand comment from one of them because my daughter was…read morefussing. I know shes loud I dont meed anyone else to make a comment), but the office very meh. They used one of those crappy temporal scanners that never give you an accurate reading. I know because I have the same one at home. I also just got my bill and was charged $131 for them to check my daughter's ears. No tests were run, the doctor simply looked at her ears, asked if shes fully vaccinated, and said great and left. Maybe with all the money they charge they can get a better, clinical-grade thermometer.

I've been taking my son here for about 5 years. My son was…read morehaving an extremely painful ongoing and somewhat baffling problem and after ending up in the ER again, the doctor there was very concerned and made some calls to see if a colleague he knew would be interested in taking the case. That colleague was Dr Lowe at Skagit Pediatric. She is a lovely caring person and her gentle yet no nonsense manner has been just right for my son (and me). She has advocated for him time and again for a variety of reasons. She's called his school to make sure they have been adequately (and legally) supporting him. She's called in various other specialists whom she's thought would be helpful. She's monitored him consistently over the years and is the person responsible for getting his health back on track. Dr Lowe has spent time getting to know my son. This is no easy thing. I don't have enough characters to go into how important this is for him. The second he even slightly senses condescension or the person who's too flippant and thinks they know where he's coming from (they probably don't), he shuts down. If it's bad enough (for him), he will fire them as his provider. He doesn't mess around and Dr Lowe has passed every hurdle with flying colors. With that said, he has also seen several other providers at Skagit Pediatric when Dr Lowe hasn't been available and every single one has been thorough, caring, and really listens. The receptionists at the front have never been anything but nice and caring. Sometimes a bit disorganized but never rude or dismissive. I've spoken with them on the phone many times and in person even more. l've also seen them handle any number of other people and l've never seen anything other than friendliness. Despite the difficulties that COVID has presented, we still have had nothing but proper, friendly care from Skagit Pediatric.

I would advise parents to stay away from this practice. We would have been a new patient to this…read morepractice, but since the previous clinic (where my daughter's medical records are stored) is short staff and they are behind on faxing her records to Skagit.. they want to reschedule her appointment to a different day and time. This does not work for us since I have limited PTO, and I do not have the ability to predict when my daughter's asthmatic airway was going to be reactive to the cold weather. They gave terrible customer service because of a cough and we were seeking medical attention to have her breathing medication renewed since the prescription expired. They followed COVID protocols to the extreme, and they do not take into consideration that the parent knows and understands their own kid's health. My daughter did not have a fever or shortness of breath. She has a reactive airway and the cold weather makes it reactive. My daughter is allowed to have a cough. My daughter should not be denied medical care for their convenience. This is a terrible practice that eliminated humanity from their protocols.

My 93 yo mother who is on hospice with kidney failure fell on Aug 15th and broke her hip. We sent…read moreher to Mira Vista while we got her own home set up with hospital bed. Due to her advanced age and renal failure, she did not have surgery. Hospice told Mira Vista that she was bed bound and that she was supposed to receive pain meds on demand. This morning, Mira Vista personnel pulled her out of bed, put her in a shower chair and gave her a shower. They did not remove her hearing aids first. She was in agony. When it was finished, she asked for pain medicine and was denied, and was told she had to wait until 12 noon (it was currently 7 AM) for her next pill. She was traumatized from pain, shaking from shock, becoming nauseated from the level of pain she was in, and the only way we got her help was to get Hospice to fix Mira Vista's misunderstandings. Not only that, but one of her very expensive hearing aids came out when they washed her hair and is lost! The level of incompetence and lack of empathy is stunning. Thankfully Hospice helped us expedite getting her home set up. She left Mira Vista this afternoon, but she is still traumatized and we are trying to get her stabilized now that she is home. Do NOT bring your loved ones here!

Mira Vista recently completed our annual federal recertification survey. It is a VERY big deal…read more Intense, comprehensive, and very detailed. We had our best results ever and a 5-STAR result which includes EVERY department and facet of what we do.

Avoid this place at all costs. The nurses and care physicians like to violate HIPPA and speak about…read moreclients while outside their room, VERY LOUD. They feel the need to judge and dismiss claims. Took my brother in because he may have pinched something in his last night setting a weight down. They felt the need to LOUDLY express their opinions that it was probably his improper form. Please tell me how improper form would be a quick punch that is sending continuous pain down his pelvic region and legs? They dismissed him and just gave him muscle relaxers. If he wanted muscle relaxers her would have gone and purchased a 1000MG edible from a dispensary. Instead of giving proper care and concern like a normal human, they belittle and make you feel less than. Might I add the two judging him for "probably because of his form" you two were pudgy.As well could use some daily sunscreen and a nice exfoliant might I add, since we're judging people based on what we don't know about them. The clinic clearly does not care about reviews unless they're positive. Unfortunately we drove almost an hour here to get here when they opened, and needed up sitting an hour in the waiting room to be seen. Don't let the 4.5 stars fool you. All of the 1 star reviews are very much correct and you are 100% better off taking business elsewhere unfortunately if you want to be taken care of. If you don't care about helping people, why work in healthCARE? Disgusting behavior all around.

After a phone conversation with the offices of this practice regarding the unnecessary blood test…read more Which was 2 test last year (after stateing would be going to Medicare in 4 months only needing 4 months of refile approval) was denied and then promptly requiring7 test this time and a mandatory office visit for a prescription refile. Wow that's putting it to us. As we noted the cost would be more than the prior times at 700.00. Did our own blood test thru healthonelabs.com 99.00 When asked why a in person visit was needed as the blood work would be done. It was said quality service. I mentioned more like you want the money, going there in person was not necessary, but would be in order to collect the fees. I was told you can always go to SEAMAR. As it was cheaper and they would do refiled without a visit. Well that was strange reply. As I'm sure if I had never been there they would in fact not do so. What she was implying was that they have lower standards. Which was no even close to what not questions was about. She was just not going to admit that a policy of there's was in fact a way of making money. And if you cant a afford it then your welcome to go else where. Susan's words. This place is about there way or high way. We wont be using them when it is time to assign a practinure to new Medicare policy. There are other doctors that are part of Medicare supplement programs in anacortes that are not part of anacortes family practice.

I grew up going to Anacortes Family Medicine. I saw Dr. Stalsbroten, who is now retired. In more…read morerecent years, I have seen Tari Roche. Both doctors are excellent. Inside Anacortes Family Medicine, the staff is very nice and helpful. The front desk helps with anything you need. The nurses are great, and the doctors tend to run mostly on time. I've rarely had to wait too long - there are exceptions, but emergencies do come up. The clinic is a part of Island Hospital, and they are only a few blocks away from the Island Hospital ER. This is good because sometimes situations call for an ER visit, and the doctors have referred me down there on a handful of occasions throughout my life. Since they are affiliated with Island Hospital, they have good access to specialists for situations calling for one, as well as special testing done in a lab. They use the lab at Island Hospital. There is not one inside the clinic. There is an urgent care facility housed in the same building as Anacortes Family Medicine, and if Anacortes Family Medicine cannot fit you in to see a doctor, the urgent care can - there just might be a bit of a wait. This is very convenient. I highly recommend Anacortes Family Medicine!

Top notch above and beyond service - and not just for eyes…read more I came over from one of the San Juan islands by ferry, and left my money purse accidentally on the ferry so when i got to my appointment i had NO money, wallet, or ID. They were so KIND to me. A customer gave me some money, front desk let me call the ferry from their phone since my cell phone was also in the bag. They also made calls on my behalf. THEN one of the ladies who helps with eyeglasses gave me $20 more so I could get back to the ferry and have enough for lunch and walk on the ferry. Not only that! Every visit I've ever had, everyone - and I mean Everyone - in that office is so kind and pleasant. They have top notch equipment to help monitor glaucoma and techs who know what they're reading. Dr. Ashey is kind, fun, informative, and I just love her and all her staff! I can't recommend them enough. It's always a delight to see her and her marvelous staff. I feel that I am getting the best of care.
