I drove to Tacoma for literally a 10 minute appointment, in and out, wham bam thank you ma'am! I felt like I was getting robbed! So I started my search for a new doctor. I came across Dr. Stonesifer's office and decided to give it a whirl. He was booked up for months so I saw Marjorie Sladek instead for my first appointment. She sat down with me and I told her my concerns with my other doctor and how I felt like he didn't care about me or my condition. This woman talked with me for 40 MINUTES!!!!! She answered every single question I could come up with! After talking with her she wanted to test me for an array of things. I told her I wanted to be tested for everything under the sun, and that's what I did! I got my results back and learned so many things that my previous doctor never tested for. I am so grateful I found this place!! I now have answers to the way I have been feeling for YEARS! She is the best!! If I get to see Dr. Stonesifer at some point I can't wait to tell him how happy I am with Marjorie and her attention to her patients! Highly recommend!!!

The building is in the proctor neighborhood and the waiting room is very quaint and old school.

Dr. Loomis was patient, professional and relaxed. I felt like he was taking his time and actually listening to me. He made a few appropriate, helpful recommendations for my health and had good bedside manner. That's all I can ask for.

He seems to have grown more cautious, formulaic, and by the book over the years, and not for the better. In addition, the office seems to have lost whatever customer service edge it formerly had. Example: I got a reminder for an annual checkup, and called in immediately to schedule only to find out the earliest appointment = 5+ weeks out. When I did have to get in sooner recently (due intense out of the blue back spasms), he seemed generally skeptical of my symptoms until I nearly collapsed in his office while attempting to demonstrate my lack of mobility due to my condition.

We've had prescriptions overlooked and difficulty getting them to the pharmacy. We usually see a doctor annually but this office requires twice a year or won't refill your routine prescription.

At that time, she didn't put me on medication. I just got off what was supposed to have been a virtual appointment to manage the fact that I have lost height and need to reevaluate my osteopenia. I felt she was unprepared for the appointment, as she didn't apparently get my chart out of archive and read it so as to be aware of prior test values. She asked me when I had my bone density exam, and i said it would be in my chart that had been archived. She then said that it wasn't acceptable for me to be angry, which confused me, as I'd said in a conversational tone of voice that the test date ought to be in my old chart. She went on to tell me that it's the patient's responsibility to know when they had various tests and what the result was. While I agree that we patients need to understand the tests we had done and the results, I believe it's the Doctor's responsibility to know what their treatment plan had been, and what tests had been ordered and the test results that she had received. She was very rude. At that point, I said we were done for not only today, but forever, and hung up. I will not work with her again under any circumstances. If I could have given 0 stars on the rating I would have. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

Our long-term family doctor quit to go play golf in Arizona. Our daughter called on doctors for a medication she represented. A high-quality vitamin needed by certain patients. She met Dr. Birlenbach when she called on him. She contacted us and told us to make an appointment as she felt he was much like our past family Dr. He has very carefully overseen our medical conditions from the various male and female related situations experienced in our 40's and 50's to our now more concerning medical problems affecting us in our late 80's (cancer and heart). He makes sure we go to a valuable specialist for cancer, heart, urology, and kidney situations we have experienced. He also performs in-house tests he can do to keep us from waiting months. This is a busy office, but you only must wait a day or two to see him -- not four months like all the specialists. So, I read one negative person complained because she had to wait for a copy of test results. I suspect the entire time she was waiting, Brenda, his long-term receptionist was constantly answering the phone, trying to get the copy, and one of the nurses came forward to help Brenda get the copy for her. I own a business and have been in this situation myself. Our client base runs in the hundreds and it can be quiet for a few minutes but just as you get up to make a copy it seems like everyone in Pierce County is calling our office. Patience is a virtue.

I have been a patient of Dr. Jackson for probably 20 years. The relationship began when he was…read moreparticipating in an after-hours clinic some local docs were running as an alternative to the ER. He scolded me a bit at that visit for not seeing my regular doc for the issue I had, and I would have but couldn't get in for weeks. I decided he was right, and that I needed a doc willing to be direct with me about issues, and "the rest is history". My experience is that when I need to get in quickly, I always can. The downside is that wait times can be extensive, and in truth they have gotten longer in the last couple years. I think this change is largely related to Dr. J's efforts to shift from an "illness orientation" to a focus on creating health. It's not a perfect patient experience yet, but he is competent, caring, and I know he wants the best for me and will take as much time to educate me as is required. Dr. J recently opened a new office to better support this desired focus on health, and I think his staff is still learning how best to resource him in this. Once the staff is more trained (allowing for a greater confidence and patient orientation) and they figure out how to better manage the patient flow, my rating of the office would go from 4 stars (well above average, in my book) to 5 stars (world-class experience, which is already how I would rate Dr. J personally). As to the focus on health, Dr. J has coached me though reducing my body weight by close to one-third, resulting in a great improvement in my health. He has the skills and passion to help his patients live a great quality of life; if that's what you're looking for in a doctor, you should check him out.
