She is so kind and has a warm smile that makes you feel welcome. I am more open and vulnerable with her than I have been with other doctors in the past because I know it is a safe space without harsh judgment. If you are new to therapy, Dr. Grupp is very disarming and can put you at ease. If you are used to counseling, she knows so much about medications, DSM diagnoses, and her field that you don't feel more experienced than the person across the couch from you. She is a very clever person with excellent insight and I completely trust her which is something that is difficult for me to build with a doctor. As long as Dr. Grupp is practicing, you can bet that I am going to be a patient. Thank you for changing my life every week, Dr. Grupp!

I used Bluestone Psychological Services for an approximately two month period from September to…read moreNovember 2021. I was having some resurgent trauma-related problems from being assaulted in the past and was seeking guidance through them. Calling to set up an appointment was straightforward, I had read the online profiles of the professionals and asked if I could see someone in particular (as of writing this review on Saturday 17 June 2023, the person is no longer listed as working at Bluestone). After describing my situation to the receptionist, they said that it sounded like the person I was requesting could be a good fit. So we scheduled an intake appointment in an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the first appointment we set up weekly sessions thereafter until I was feeling confident enough to part ways with the therapy about two months later. I received a bit of talk and EMDR therapy in my sessions. The therapist was never short with me and I found the treatment effective for helping me work through my problems. She was professional in our sessions and never prying. I have continued to use some of the things I learned in the sessions after stopping the therapy sessions.

I felt that she was very impersonal and straight to the point. I never felt that much compassion from her. In addition, I felt that she did not have great bedside manner or manners with me at all. I felt her customer service to me was not that great. I had to cancel at the last minute a couple of times due to an emergency, and the practice and Dr. Peng told me they had to charge me a fee. Bluestone showed me no mercy, and Dr. Peng did not seem to show me any either. I felt that she also did not properly understand my conditions either. I also didn't like that when I made no follow up appointments with her that Dr. Peng reached out to me multiple times and asked me if I was interested in continuing with her. Well obviously, if I have not called you or made an appointment with the practice in months, it's evident I am no longer interested. In the end, I am glad I left. I would not recommend this practice or Dr. Peng at all. In my opinion, they have no understanding for when life situations come up and I did not feel there was good communication or compassion towards patients either by either Dr. Peng or the staff of bluestone.

I am so happy to have found Dr. Serena! I find a lot of health-related things very stressful, but…read morefeel like I can be more at ease because of the care I receive. I genuinely feel like she wants me to be living my best life and can give me practical ways to get there. I struggle with anxiety and depression and after we tried a few medication strategies, she referred me to a psychiatrist. I really appreciated that she was willing to try a few things on me, but wasn't too proud to refer me to a specialist once things weren't working as planned. I have also had a few anxiety-related symptoms and felt like she handled them delicately and in a way that could help relieve this anxiety. I also really like the online portal. When something small comes up that I am concerned about, I am always able to get a quick answer- whether it's advice, prescriptions, or a visit scheduled. I also like being able to see our appointment notes easily. I definitely feel like she is my advocate. If something makes me uncomfortable or anxious she always has another suggestion or a way to make things better. With my physical exams, I feel really at ease. She is gentle and continues to check in with me and provide me with information. I like how she provides suggestions as we go and lets me know areas that I am healthy and areas to watch. I feel like we never miss anything and that I can be very honest with her about my physical and mental health.

And I've worked front office and back office with physicians, I know it can be done. Anyway, an acquaintance of mine posted about improvements to her health. I wanted a change so I pressed her for some details. She happily told me about the naturopaths at NSNM. In March 2012, I admittedly made my first appointment with a little hesitation. I didn't have much experience with alternative medicine except for home remedies that my grandmother did. I went into the clinic with an open mind. Julie checked me in with little fuss and I made a cup of tea while I waited. My wait was minimal. Jennifer came into the waiting room, introduced herself, and led me back to the exam room for my first visit. She listened. I mean, doctors are trained to listen but I got the sense that she was genuinely listening to everything that I said. The hour flew by easily. After several visits since then, I am a convert. I do not doubt the dedication that Jennifer has for her patients. She and Robin Sinclair (her clinic partner) genuinely care and listen to your concerns when discussing your healthcare needs. I've had both providers call me at home to check on me during my protracted bout with pertussis. Yeah... that was less than fun. A recent (and welcome) addition to their practice is a collaborative effort with Passionate Nutrition, a wonderful group of certified nutritionists. Jennifer Adler is my nutritionist and she listens without judgement. Check out my review for them if you want more information. Parking is easy and plentiful. Their second-floor location is easy to find and accessible via a small lift. At the end of your visit, your treatment plan will be sent home with you in case you forget what was prescribed or suggested. I cannot recommend them enough. Honestly, Jennifer, Robin, and Julie rock! PS. Dr. Lush was named in Seattle Met's "Top Doctors" for 2012. I think that makes three years in a row for her!

I…read moream so grateful to my friend and Dr. Cole. my GO of 25+ years was moving away and I had always wanted my primary focus to be natural/non pharmaceutical. I love her method of requesting more in depth bloodwork at least yearly (every 6 mo the first three times when we started) to look for areas where your health may need more attention and offering diet, lifestyle and supplement support to improve. I like data! It makes so much sense. And she is professional, kind, friendly and easy to talk to!

Dr. Cole is able to provide comprehensive care to treat the whole body, easing it back into balance in a healthy, less toxic way. For me, she offered naturopathic alternatives to traditional medicine to help me with my complicated and intertwining conditions (auto-immune, adrenal, hormonal, weight, and others). Dr. Cole always listens to me, provides scientific reasons for what I am experiencing, and works to provide a natural way to heal my body. She provides a wonderful mix of compassion, hard science (labs, results, etc.), and alternative healing methods/medicines. Recently, I particularly appreciate her additional services around genetic testing; providing a deeper analysis of DNA genetic results, which indicated genetic variations that can be the root cause of health issues. This allows us to make a plan to offset high risk areas.

She has a doctorate degree in…read moresomething relating to medical, and takes advantage of that to call herself "Dr." She is actually a family nurse practitioner. Nothing wrong with being a nurse practitioner, but it is a bit misleading to call yourself "Dr." in a medical setting, if you aren't one. I am not a high-maintenance patient; I go to the Dr. for my annual exam and an occasional illness, but that's about it. I do take a prescription for sleep (that I have taken for over 14 years. Dr. Deonne's office could not seem to manage the monthly refills for this prescription. While my previous Dr (before I moved here) used to call in 6 months worth of refills of this prescription Dr. Deonne would only call in 1-3 months at a time, and demanded that I be seen several times a year before whe would call in a refill. Please note that I said 1-3 months... that's because the # of refills varied from refill to refill. On four seperate occasions during the one year that I was a patient there, I had to call the office several times in order to get my prescription refilled. While I understand that refilling a monthly prescription does not generate revenue for the "Dr.," it goes with the job to do so. Yet each time I had to call (because they claimed the had not gotten the fax from my QFC pharmacy), I felt as though I was a huge burden to the office. Was Deonne competent? I think so. I did not feel unsafe there. She was quite thorough in her exams and testing, but I felt that all of the follow-up appointments she required were simply so she could bill my insurance for another office visit. It must be difficult for such a small office to make it financially, especially since they are only in the office on Mon/Wed/Fri, but only providing good service when there is potential gain may be one of the reasons that she isn't busy.And now it seems there website is not working... End Note: I found a new Dr,, and she was happy to call in six months worth of refills on my sleepy pill prscription after my new patient exam. No strings attached. :-)

The specialists all give her high marks and she is recognized as a skilled, learned professional. I have been her patient for over 4 years. She takes care of my routine exams and those sessions that require deeper research. When I complained about a constant, persistent pain, she believed me. Even though nothing could be found on Cat scans or MRIs. She sent me to a specialist because she believed and I wound up having emergency surgery. When I had an aneurysm 2 years ago, the emergency doctors wanted to know my medications. My friends placed a call and within an hour she had called back and they knew my list of medications and what they were for. She is a very nice lady because the first time I met her, I was mean and ugly during a manic phase of my Bi-polar illness. When I saw her a year later, she was a class act and never mentioned that incident. Because she does have a small practice, I can always get an appointment. "Dr. Deonne" is the Best. She will continue to be my Primary Care Provider.

I have been living with chronic pain for many years. The pain is a result of a combination of…read moremultiple little injuries and basic body deterioration. I was diagnosed with multiple herniated discs and arthritis, which was pinching some nerves near C6. The pain was excruciating and debilitating. I had surgery finally to fuse two levels of my cervical spine, C5-6, and C6-7. Dr. Jayashree Srinivasan was recommended to me by a colleague, who is one of Seattle's most prominent neurosurgeons. I had consulted with quite a few other physicians, and none of them were able to diagnose the root cause of my pain. Because she was a neurosurgeon, her eyes were trained to see these types of pinched nerves, where other doctors would miss it. After the surgery, my pain had subsided drastically. I was finally able to move my right arm without the zinging sensation, and the strength started to return as well. However these surgeries are fairly dramatic, and a lot of residual damage had been done. I am left with pain that may be with me for some time. It is like the roommate that never pays the rent, makes messes everywhere, and is constantly yelling in your ear. It is quite difficult to go about your day when this is occurring. I am able to take some muscle relaxers (methocarbamol), medication for the nerve pain (lyrica), and anti-inflammatory medication (sulindac). This combination is great for reducing the inflammation and healing the nerves. I also continue to do physical therapy and massage to calm the muscles. However, none of these therapies are able to do a significant job at reducing my pain level. The pain killers (oxycodone) are the most effective at actually reducing my pain level. I am very careful to monitor my dosage in accordance with her guidance.  I appreciate that she is very conscientious about only prescribing me the least amount possible. I am grateful that she encourages me to pursue other therapies, like massage, acupuncture, physical therapy and pain injections to cover as much ground as possible. Nonetheless, they are called pain killers for a reason, they are really good at doing the job of killing the pain. She helps me be aware of the connotations of taking these medications, meaning people could likely steal them from me, so she continues to educate me on the proper care of my medications, like keeping them in a secure location so they won't be stolen. She also ensures that I am aware that it is a serious medication, meaning that I should only be taking them in careful consideration of the implications and ramifications of taking these types of pain killers.  I also appreciate how much she cares about me as a person.  She is so caring and compassionate, and I know that she is being my advocate and helping me be a great person that can contribute positively to the community. I am an Enterprise Data Architect and need to have my full cognitive abilities in order to do my job. I can honestly say that without the care that she gives me, I would likely lose my job, but instead, I am thriving!
