Total knee replacement. My surgery and recovery period was honestly great!…read moreI was up and walking with the obvious limp day of surgery and afterward. No walker or cane needed day 3. Driving week 2. Dr Huang was amazing throughout the initial diagnosis to the post-op appointment. Everything I was told to expect was spot on right. The best thing for my recovery was continuing with P.T. at home on my own, which is highly recommended. So glad I decided to get a new knee!

I have had TWO referrals at Renton office near VMC with different providers at the end of December…read more2025. Only one person has called me back, however, she didn't actually make the appointment. She was supposed to call me back, I believe she was looking for a sooner one. (I actually had that appointment penciled in!) Not a word. I agree, I should follow up as well, but I have had a devastating month and have failed to "follow up" on a few things. If someone is going to be making suggestions as to best treat my spine, I want to get not only 2, but 3 opinions! The other is lined up just fine, completely different facility. They called me right away. Now it will be months before I can get into Proliance. It was actually down the same week, two days before the one at the other place. My phone updated and I lost many notifications and appointments, but it was definitely down! Now they have no record of it. Just great.

In July, I had an anterior fusion surgery performed by Sean Keem. My surgery did not go as…read moreexpected and there were complications that kept me in the hospital for 14 days as opposed to the 2 that was anticipated. I'm 52 and totally understand the complications and risks with this type of surgery. I felt what could go wrong went wrong. The problem with a lot of people is they do not understand that when something goes wrong, almost all of the time it has nothing to do with the surgeon performing the procedure. Things just happen. Dr. Keem has always been professional and straight forward with me as well as the staff that works around him. I knew the risks and accepted what happened as part of that but Dr. Keem is great. I'd go to him again (this was my second procedure with him...the first being 7 years ago). The staff at the surgery center was amazing. All of them were great compared to my previous visit. I'd like to give a huge shout out to all of those who cared for me but the one that stood out the most was Morgan. She seemed so much of a real person than a robotic nurse that i had experienced with my previous surgery. She was easy to talk to and seemed relatable to my life experiences. Again...all of the nursing staff was amazing this visit but Morgan stands out the most. Thanks again.

My most recent experiences, however, show a complete lack of professionalism. My CT scans from a month ago have not been reviewed, and multiple calls to my surgeon have been ignored. Dr. Basamania has enjoyed a stellar reputation but I think his recent performance is subpar. I have been living with pain and a completely useless left shoulder since his revision surgery nine months ago. I understand that my situation might be complex, but to simply not respond to a patient is unconscionable.

The gals at the reception desk are nice, professional and help to make what has potential to be a stressful experience a pleasant one. Dr. Miyano's medical assistant, Christina is a real gem. She's on top of whatever questions you may have and has such a warm and relaxing personality. She's flexible with scheduling surgeries and will help you to decide which day and time would be ideal for getting set up. Dr. Miyano himself is great. He presented me with options and gave the likelihood of my ailment coming back. We had a medical student shadow for my appointment. I've had appointments where the doctor either lets the med. student take over entirely or ignore that they were even in the room making it awkward for everyone; Dr. Miyano doesn't do this at all. It was a comfortable consultation appointment. I felt guided with direction and empowered with the ability to choose what I wanted to do versus not being given options. I would highly recommend Dr. Miyano just based on one appointment and will write a follow up once I've gotten rid of my cysty wristy.

My goal in spending so much time on this review is hopefully to be helpful. It took me months to…read moreselect a surgeon and it was a long and difficult process. In my experience, many surgeons seem to be "assembly line" surgeons and because of my age and other health factors I needed more care than that type of physician could / would provide. Dr Hulst replaced my hip in August of 2021. I'm 67 and was born with hip sockets that weren't fully formed. I had the other hip done in 2007 and since that time have come to find that my surgeon at Virginia Mason (Dr Ray Robinson I believe) was "a legend in his field". He's since retired but because of my experience with him I guess my standards were pretty high. Seriously, both times I just wanted full mobility afterwards and ease with the process. I've been active for most of my life and I hoped to continue. First off, this process with Dr Hulst was amazing. I found him to be as good and maybe even better than my former surgeon was. Whew. That's saying something. Just a few bullets - My surgery took place mid-covid when Overlake Hospital was cancelling everything considered non-essential. I couldn't walk, but my surgery was still considered elective (not "life and death" like covid was). Despite this, Dr Hulst got me in and somehow kept me from getting booted. That was a feat in itself. - From the moment I stepped in his office Dr Hulst was very detailed and appeared to be very skilled. He was making everything seem so easy. (And today I can say that it was). Before surgery he generously gave me the time I needed. I had a lot of questions (major surgery after all), I needed explanations and he wasn't in a hurry.at.all ... until I was finished. Then he literally ran out the door. (he has his priorities straight :) ). He made it very easy for me to ask questions and spoke in terms I could understand, not surgeon lingo. More importantly, I didn't feel stupid even though he's 1/2 my age. - My age was a concern to me. I also have a very low white blood cell count resulting in not much immunity. Lastly, I live alone. For all these reasons I needed different care post-surgery than a classic 30, 40 or 50 year-old would need. None of this appeared to be a problem for him. - There were some unforeseen complications when he opened me up. They weren't caused by anything he did - when he cut through my bone, it bled way too much. This resulted in an extra day at Overlake which he magically arranged (mid-covid) without putting any stress on me. I don't know how he did it but he handled all this with what appeared to be such ease, skill and professionalism. He pivoted easily and moved quickly to arrange the changes that needed to happen at Overlake as well as with my post-op care. He communicated openly with me, but kept any stress all this may have caused him away from me. - Today, my hip feels like nothing ever happened and surprisingly, I could have said the same thing back in October 2021. I have full mobility and am doing all the things I was doing before. After looking in hindsight, I'm realizing now I'd even recommend Dr Hulst to my kids. That's saying something. I didn't ask for this level of care but it's so rare these days. In looking back and feeling as great as I feel now, I'm still very surprised. I've had some disastrous care (wrong treatment, appointments that run on a hospital's quota system and physicians giving me "in and out care"). Dr Hulst isn't like that. From my experience and from the things I've heard from others, he's in that rare, top 1% in his field and because of this I'd recommend him to anyone without blinking an eye. Karen G Sherwood Bellevue WA PS I've been in sales all my life and know how important recommendations are. When a physician this great comes along, well, it brought a level of hope and assurance to me as well as my family that isn't common - we don't often see it these days - I also wasn't paid or even asked to send this review :)) Lastly, don't be deterred by his office staff. They're very, very difficult to say the least. They're unresponsive, even when working towards a deadline. They're very rude when you do manage to get a call back and they can't wait to get off the phone and they'll just ignore it when you call or leave a message. Since I was very nervous about having major surgery, this was so maddening and so frustrating. Surprisingly tho, now that it's in the past and I feel so great, for me Dr Hulst was very much worth it. As I said, I'm pretty sure he's in the top 1% in his field and at this point it's the outcome that matters to me.

Dr. Hulst did my hip replacement and it was the best experience I have ever had with a surgery. He…read moreis very intelligent and kind. He cares about you and listens.
