She was really down to earth and knowledgable. Very easy to talk to. Highly recommended.

Dr. Sheckter has been my primary care physician since I moved to Seattle almost 7 years ago, and I…read morecan't say enough good things about her. This is coming from a guy who's dad was his primary care doc for many years, too. She has my complete trust, and she is genuine in her care. The same goes for Dr. Friedman, who I've seen a couple of times while Dr. Sheckter was out. Barb is also a really caring and wonderfully constant presence in their office.

Only much later did I really learn how important it was that she knew enough at the time to run the test for the specific type of diabetes that I had. In 26 plus years I have had so many needs for her expert care or referrals to other medical specialties. I also cannot say enough good things about the other caregivers that she has referred me to. I have certainly put Dr. Sheckter to the test of all of her knowledge with my laundry list of ailments, yet she passed all the tests. First, she listens well. Second, she always has the knowledge to make the correct answer. This might mean knowing when the specialist needs to be called in. Third, she clearly communicates what needs to happen next. I come from a family of medical professionals and have first hand knowledge of what excellent treatment looks like and this is it. The whole office experience is intimate, friendly, and just plain first rate. M.T.

I've been going to PacMed at Northgate for years, seeing Dr. Andrew Dym as my PCP and have had…read moremostly good experiences there. Front receptionists and medical staff (including the lab folks upstairs) are always polite and (generally) efficient. I've never had to wait long in the waiting room for my appointments, with one exception, when I waited for 45 minutes for a speciality appointment and was finally ushered into the example room without apology or noting my long wait (that doctor is no longer there). Their facility at Northgate is nothing fancy, but it's comfortable. Parking is easy and free On the downside, my last request for a dermatology appointment was refused, as they had no available appointments for months. I went to Polyclinic at Northgate instead, and got an appointment for the next day.

As it had been a few years since my last physical, she ordered the typical gauntlet of blood tests and shots that I needed. About a week after my appointment, I received a note from her in the mail explaining my test results and a prescription for my vitamin D deficiency (thank you Seattle sunshine for that one!) and explaining why it was important that I begin this regimen.

First, they don't return phone calls. I called their office manager, Roger, 4 times about the medical assistant not following through with processing my prescription with Medco. Instead of getting my medicine FREE from Medco, my mail order insurance, I've had to pay $10 every time I've had to go to a local pharmacy. His explanation was that Monica was no longer with the clinic and David would process it. So David assures me it's been done. Yet, Medco was never contacted and has nothing on file for this med. Called office to ask why no one is calling me back or following through on my medication order, and was told "they're in training for a new computer system and will call you back" - um, 2 weeks later still no call or contact for Medco. Guess they're too busy with office computers and whatever to care about their patients!
