New patient intake plus one other appointment. Thrilled with the staff and the care. Been looking for a doctor who cared for almost a year.

Two things make this clinic great -- one is the subscription model. You can pay a monthly fee and…read moreanything that can be done for you in the clinic itself is included. Anything that involves an outside party (bloodwork, for example) is offered at a discount. Usually, the biggest stress I feel around my medical needs is not my own health, but the black-box billing process. This simplifies all of that. The second thing that makes The Manette Clinic great is owner/operator/superhero Tanya Spoon. She makes sure that all her patients are hosted, not rushed, through the process. They get plenty of time with their providers, and are cared for compassionately. She is both candid and good humored and you'll leave your appointment feeling both well-informed and cared-for. I cannot recommend The Manette Clinic enough.

I have been a patient of Tanya Spoon since approx 2017. I have visited both of her offices, i.e.,…read morein Manette and Poulsbo. It is a first-class setup. She is totally professional and makes things simple. Tanya Spoon's staff are totally nice and once, when I went in with a hearing loss a couple of years to make an appointment, I was initially told it might be a week or two. However, another doctor in her office came out and took me right in In less than 15 minutes, my hearing was fully restored. I had a wax build-up, and he squirted some saline in there, and presto. I was ready to go. It is a hard-working team of doctors caring for their patients you do not get anywhere else. I started with the $60 payments, then my Medicare kicked in, and now I am covered for free. Such a deal

My 74 year old mother and I had an amazing experience with George Sullivan, ARNP. He was patient…read moreand listened to my mom's concerns. Actually, he went above and beyond by giving her more time and ordering labs so they would be ready for her next visit. Dr. Mandeep Dhawan is an expert at managing diabetes and is familiar with natural medicine approaches. Her blood sugars used to be consistently in the 200s-300s range and occasionally in the 400s. Now her blood sugars are in the 100s! She also had cellulitis for a year that is now resolved. She believes natural approaches are all that is needed to turn around health concerns. I think both providers responded beautifully to her non-verbal communication that indicate she is resistant to western medical care. The front desk staff are consistently professional and friendly. I always feel like smiling when I see them. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is Dr. Dhawa' nurse. She entered the wrong date once (a huge inconvenience and it significantly decreased my mom's trust) and when my mom's blood pressure was elevated she had her raise her arm and then rechecked it. This is not appropriate. Elevating the arm falsely decreases the blood pressure reading. My mom used to be a medical assistant and knows that this is in incorrect practice, which further decreased her trust. It makes me sad that this nurse caused her to want to seek healthcare elsewhere. It makes me sad because the providers are excellent.

Ran out of prescription. They said I need to come in for appointment, get checked out. I did. They…read moresaid they would prescribe new prescription for 90 days as well as order me a test kit. My existing prescription is all used up and I took time off from work before Thanksgiving Holiday weekend (pharmacy will be closed) to go to my pharmacy to pick up the prescription. Pharmacy received the order for the test kit but there is no order for renewing the prescription... now I am out and this error will not be responded too until next week. Totally unacceptable service. I'll also now have to take more time off of work some time in future when this PCHS organization can confirm that they actually did submit my prescription renewal to my pharmacy. This incident is deserving of an extremely low grade for my review here."

He always listens to what I have to say, gives me amazing advice on how to handle any medicine issue I've brought to him. He is very knowledgeable but doesn't talk down to you or make you feel stupid if you don't know something. I've had some awful experiences with previous doctors in the area and Dr. Voelkers is by far the best around. Also, his staff that works with him are just as great. Polite, courteous, and nothing but professional. If you're looking to switch providers I would HIGHLY recommend looking into switching over to here! Thank you for going above and beyond with your customer service, it really speaks volumes.

Dr. Karen Miller is the best. She keeps up on everything and is kind, gentle, ans a wonderful…read morephysician. If you become ill and need to see her today or tomorrow, she will fit you in. Sometimes you may have a wait a few minutes because she is taking care of someone who called for an immediate appointment or a patient needs more time than was scheduled. Just remember, she will do the same for you. Dr. Miller is moving to a new office in Kingston, that is a 30 mile drive from my home, but I am happy to drive 30 miles to see Dr. Miller. She is the best physician that I have ever had and I will be 70 in December.

So here's the thing...I've not ever seen this doctor. Why am I writing a Yelp review, you ask?…read moreBecause of the utter incompetence I experienced trying to book an appointment at her office FOR OVER A MONTH. I was referred to Dr Miller from my OBGYN who is outstanding and amazing. I've been looking for a Primary Care Physician for a while now, and figured I would give her a try. As a matter of fact, she's listed as a preferred provider on my insurance site so I thought "Perfect! She takes my insurance!" July 12 I make my first call to the office to schedule an initial appointment as a new patient. The receptionist takes my name and information, says Dr. Miller has to approve me as a patient before I am seen in her office, and oh, is my insurance through my employer? I explain yes it is, and Ok, that seems a little odd that the Dr has to "approve me" as a patient, but ok. She says they will call me tomorrow. July 13 No call to me from Dr Miller's office. July 14 I call the office back to ask if Dr. Miller has reviewed my inquiry and I am told it's on her desk, but they have been busy so she can't look yet. Ok, that's fine. They will call me on Monday, and oh, is my insurance through my employer? This question being asked again set off a red flag, but I answer yes of course, and I inquire why Dr. Miller has to approve me as a patient. I am told that she reviews my medical history because many patients are simply pill seeking and they would not approve that. I laughed because that's not the case for me, I'm looking for a general check up/annual blood work and we hang up. July 17 No call to me from Dr Miller's office. July 18 No call to me from Dr Miller's office. July 19 I call back and explain that I called a week ago and asked if they needed more information, and was I going to be approved as a patient? Receptionist tells me that the Dr has not reviewed my file yet but she has it and that I should get a call back tomorrow. Ok. July 20 No call to me from Dr Miller's office. July 21 I call back and ask if Dr. MIller has reviewed my case, and why didn't I receive a call as promised? I am given the reason that they are still very busy and will call me when Dr Miller reviews my case. I ask why it's taking so long and I am given the reason that because it's a private practice, they need to screen and can't make an appointment until Dr. Miller reviews my file. I indicate mild frustration that it's been over a week trying to schedule an appointment and am told this is standard procedure. I am to wait for a phone call from Dr. Miller's office. Ok. July 22 - July 27 No call to me from Dr Miller's office. July 28 I go on line and try to schedule an appointment via Dr. Miller's website. No Joy. July 28, I place another call to Dr Millers office. According to the receptionist they have no idea why Dr. Miller has not reviewed my case, and oh, is my insurance through my employer? I refrain from banging my head on my desk, and try to remain as polite as possible and say yes, it is through my employer. I am instructed to wait for a call on Monday, July 31. July 31 No call to me from Dr Miller's office. (surprise surprise) Aug 1 No call to me from Dr Miller's office. Aug 2 No call to me from Dr Miller's office. Aug 3-7 I go out of town, still no call to me from Dr Miller's office. Aug 8 No call to me from Dr Miller's office. Aug 9 No call to me from Dr Miller's office. Aug 10 No call to me from Dr Miller's office so I am frustrated. I make ANOTHER call to Dr Miller's office. I speak to the same receptionist I have spoken to every time and explain my situation. She tells me Dr Miller is now on Vacation and won't be back until the 14th of August. (WHAT?) And that she has not reviewed my case yet. (WHAT?!) However she took patient reviews on vacation and I should hear a call back soon, and oh, by the way, is my insurance through my employer? My blood pressure went through the roof. I calmly but with an edge in my voice explained that I have been trying to get an appointment for blood work for A FREAKING MONTH and this is a terrible customer service experience for a DOCTORS OFFICE. The receptionist made little to no attempt to deal with my upset demeanor and continued to make excuses as to why I was denied an appointment. She showed no empathy, no caring, or any sort of human understanding of my frustration. She said I still had to wait for Dr Miller to get back from vacation, call me, and ONLY THEN could I make an appointment to see her for blood work and a check up. I am so done. Never in my life have I ever had this much trouble trying to get ONE SINGLE APPOINTMENT for a check up at a doctor's office. If you value your health, your time, and your blood pressure, avoid these people like the plague. The utter lack of competence is stunning. Oh, and I still have no appointment or a phone call from Dr. Miller. Shocking, I know.

Lately a disappointment. If you need to schedule an impromptu, urgent appointment (with in a couple…read moreof days)...good luck with that. We have tried calling her every day to see if a slot has opened up to no avail and have been instructed to go to an emergency room or urgent care center if it is truly that serious by the medical assistant who answers the phone (!). Also, she works only 3 days a week and one of those days is usually a half day. My old family doctor in Illinois worked 5 days a week, was a mother of a newborn, and a toddler, managed (somehow) to fit an appointment with my elderly father within 24 hours and visit him when he would have to be hospitalized...and if she couldn't do it her partner would cover...who was also an awesome doc, now that I think about it. Needless to say we are looking for a new doctor that can help us when an emergency arises. It has been a rough two weeks and my wife urgently needs some attention.

I have been a patient of Dr. Fiala's for a few years now and would highly recommend her. With some…read moreother doctors I have felt like they are in a hurry to get to the next appointment but Dr. Fiala has never made my appointments feel rushed and seems to really listen to my concerns. When I have needed an appointment at the last minute, it is rare that they can't fit me in withing a day or 2. Also, being a "self-pay" patient, I find her to be very affordable for my general health care. I have had a few issues concerning billing and communication but they have always been addressed promptly and politely. It may be a medical practice but I understand that it is also a business and there will occasionally be employees who are not as polite or possess great customer service skills. A polite letter or email directly to Dr. Fiala citing these concerns has always resulted in a positive response. If you are in the West Seattle area and are looking for a caring doctor in your neighborhood so you can avoid the frustration of I-5 traffic, give Dr. Fiala a call.

I have been a patient for two years under two different insurance groups and I have found that Dr…read more Dore, His nurse Kim and all of the other employees to be patient friendly and knowledgeable in their professions. Dr. ore listens carefully, better than any other doctor I have had. I don't have to sit in the waiting room for a long time, yesterday I was in the exam room two minutes early. My doctor takes whatever time is necessary to give me the attention that I need. One would have to go a long time and distance to find any better medical care if that is possible. Dr. Dore was able to find solutions to some of my long-standing medical problems. I am totally satisfied with the care that I receive and as I age more, I am fully satisfied that I will get the best care and attention as I continue down my path to old age whatever that is.

I was a patient at Olympic Internal Medicine for approximately 12 years. During that time, I was…read moregenerally very happy with the care I received. Unfortunately, my experience over the last few years changed my opinion of the practice. A few years ago, the clinic switched to a membership model that required patients to pay approximately $300 per year just to remain a patient. That decision created a major issue with my Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance, which would no longer work with the clinic under that arrangement. As a result, I was forced to change my health insurance just so I could continue seeing my primary care physician after more than a decade as a patient. Even after paying the annual membership fee, I only saw my doctor once or twice a year for routine checkups. Paying hundreds of dollars every year simply for the privilege of remaining a patient never made sense to me. The final straw was how my billing was handled. The clinic stopped collecting my approximately $40 copay at the time of each visit and instead mailed me a bill afterward. I admit that I should have paid those bills when I received them. That's on me. However, according to the letter I received from the clinic, they had become frustrated that they had to call me to collect payment for these balances. From my perspective, it was confusing because these were small balances that could have easily been collected while I was standing at the front desk, as many medical offices routinely do. It seems like collecting the copay during the visit would have been easier and less expensive than mailing statements and making collection calls. I'm not sure why this became such a significant issue when it could have been avoided by simply collecting the payment at check-in or check-out. Instead of working with me to resolve the issue after 12 years as a loyal patient, the clinic chose to terminate our relationship. That was extremely disappointing. I have since learned that the practice was sold. Looking back, the move to a mandatory membership model felt like the practice became more focused on revenue than on maintaining long-term relationships with established patients. Whether or not that was the intention, that's certainly how it felt as someone who had been a loyal patient for over a decade. I hope other patients carefully consider whether paying an annual membership fee is worthwhile, especially if they only need routine preventive care. I also hope Washington continues to monitor concierge-style medical practices to ensure they remain transparent and patient-focused. After 12 years, I expected better communication, more flexibility, and a greater appreciation for patient loyalty.
