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.

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.

If you suffer with addiction, do not go to this clinic. Cash only for addiction treatment. He is happy to take your money and then leave you hanging out to dry when you need him. It would be in Dr. Zend's best interest to look at his office practices and staff. There is a good chance he's not getting all the information from his staff or any at all. Corolla seems to run the show, not the doctor. On March 16, 2018, she was hospitalized for exacerbated asthma, Influenza B, and hospital-acquired pneumonia. She was in the hospital for 10 days. She was in severe pain and contacted Dr. Zend's office. She spoke with Corolla. My wife explained to Corolla what was going on and was falsely accused by Corolla of relapsing?? I called their office since my wife was extremely sick in the hospital and did not need this added stress. Corolla told me the same thing but had no facts to back up her accusation, only that my wife had no showed an appointment recently (which she rescheduled and saw Dr. Zend). Corolla was rude, unprofessional, and should not work in any medical setting given her lack of compassion. Medical office staff should not accuse patients of anything unless there is proof or concern in the medical file. My wife needed to talk to Dr. Zend about pain management in the hospital and after care to return to her treatment protocol (she could not breathe, she had the flu, pleurisy in her lungs, and staphylococcus pneumonia from being in the hospital). Needless to say, when she called to schedule an appointment with Dr. Zend on March 26th, after being discharged from the hospital, Corolla told her she had been discharged as a patient. No reason was given. She had never been subject to discipline, failed any tests, and had only missed an appointment because we had a sick child. Several messages were left with Corolla and the receptionist for Dr. Zend to call but no calls were returned by Dr. Zend. Save your money, save your time, and find a better doctor. We will be filing a complaint with the WA Department of Health. His practices should be reviewed. I state this because in my conversation with Corolla on March 20, 2018, she stated to me that Dr. Zend "has to think about his medical license" and cannot worry about situations like this?? Worry about what situation, my wife had the flu and pneumonia and here you are making false accusations. It all comes down to making a buck in your cash based medical practice, instead of listening to your patient and treating a patient who gets the flu during flu season.

I just had Dr. Swenson for a Clavicle repair...from a snowboarding accident…read more Getting an appointment was no problem, and the appointment was on-time when I got there. The appointment was not long but covered what needed to be covered....an official diagnosis, a quick follow-up of the injury, my options (surgery or self-heal), and a prescription for pain medication. When I selected to have surgery it was quickly scheduled for the next day, I was given all the information I wanted about the surgery and what to expect, I was then directed to the hospital finalize the scheduling and provide my insurance info. Dr. Swenson did the surgery and thus far it is a success. My pain is down, my movement is up, and every day feels better. I am out of a sling in less than one week and I have plans on snowboarding less than a month after the surgery!

However, my major complaint is how insanely difficult it is to get the scheduling process for imaging exams taken care of. My insurance requires authorization for MRI, the authorization was approved by the ins company, I was given the authorization code, an insurance rep three way called the imaging office with it as well, and still, no one can schedule me because they want a particular person in the office to give them the exact same auth code that I was given. Huge hassle. I have worked in the medical field for over 5 years, so I truly understand that every office has their own way of doing things, but this is ridiculous. This is the hardest time I've had scheduling any type of appointment - EVER. At this point I feel like I should just go to the ER and request an MRI seeing they make it dang near impossible to schedule in an outpatient setting. Good doctors here, so don't let this scare you off. But do yourself a favor and bypass the imaging center downstairs and go to another outpatient imaging center with your order in hand. You'll save a lot of time and headache.

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.
