Back about a month or two ago, Aetna & UW Medicine were having prolonged contract negotiations that…read moreseemingly wouldn't have any settlement in a timely manner. During that time I had to look for medical care elsewhere and discovered Pacific Medical. My initial contact was with a receptionist (name ?) who was the most pleasant receptionist I believe I've ever met. She was so helpful and arranged an appointment for me to meet a new PCP (Primary Care Physician). She transferred all my medical records from UW Medicine making the process painless. Did I mention the receptionist was so very pleasant? After my initial meeting with my new PCP, I was thoroughly impressed with the staff at Pacific Medical. The medical facility is really close by my apartment, so traveling back and forth is not a problem. Lots of parking, with about half dozen Handicap parking stalls directly out from the front door of the clinic. Perhaps the time spent with negotiations between Aetna & UW Medicine was my good luck.

I can't say enough positive things about my visit this past friday. The front office staff was very…read morefriendly. They were prompt to call me back. I saw Dr. McLaughlin. I was extremely nervous, but once we started talking, he was such a kind and caring man, that my nerves just faded. I felt like he listened to me and we worked out the best possible scenario for my needs. One thing I really appreciate about him is that he sat down and talked with me without typing. Every doctor I have been to in the past types their notes as they talk to me and I don't really feel heard. I am very grateful that I found him and I also want to say how appreciative I am of his nurse, Caroline, for reaching out to me personally the week prior to see how I was doing. I can't remember any prior doctor's office staff reaching out to me like that and she spent a considerable amount of time talking to me. I felt so much better after our chat! I definitely believe Dr. McLaughlin when he says Pac Med puts their patients first.

I called yesterday to schedule an appointment to get a stye removed. The staff was very friendly. I…read moremade it very clear to the staff that we needed to get the stye removed and it had been there for two months. We got a an appointment for the very next day. We went in and paid. The doctor was running about 45 minutes late. Then we were sent to an eye specialist. I was never told in my initial conversations with their staff that we would be getting sent somewhere else. We paid for the doctor to tell us to go somewhere else. When I called their office to ask for a refund they told me that we had to pay because the doctor thought it was in our best interest to go see a specialist. Ridiculous! I would not refer his office to anyone! That is very bad business practice!

For 20+ years now I've been going to doctors all over for help with pain. They all ran their…read morestandard tests and when I didn't fit into those categories by testing positive for any of those conditions, they'd tell me it was all in my head, they told me I was depressed no matter how much I said I wasn't and finally a diagnosis for Fibromyalgia so they could quickly write me off. I finally gave up and lived with it as best I could until this last year when the pain became debilitating. My boyfriend suggested Dr. Sanchez saying that he was a good doctor who will sit and talk to you, which we all know is very rare these days. My appointment lasted over an hour with an examination and a lot of talking. He said that he didn't agree with with my past doctors and sent me in for an MRI. Turns out that had any of the other doctors really stopped and talked to me, put down their checklist of insurance preferred conditions, and treated me like the pain wasn't all in my head, they'd have discovered that I have a serious spine condition which has caused a lengthy list of secondary issues (the issues that the previous doctors couldn't make sense of). So I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Sanchez to anyone who needs a good doctor. Sometimes you have to wait a long time which I know is frustrating, but then I think about how much he really does for you in those appointments and I understand why it's taking a while longer for him to get to me.

And, now I realize how spoiled I was having him as my doctor. Which is why they recieved two stars. Otherwise, it would be ZERO! When he retired I was so bummed. But, because they had all my medical history, I decided to stay. Each time a little more disappointed but yesterday was the last straw. I don't mind if the doctor knows who wrote this review because they do not deserve to practice medicine... Period! This week was very troublesome for me. I had hives covering my whole body off and on this week which sent me into the hospital. My eyes were nearly swollen shut and I was having symptoms of anafalaxis. I went to check up with my normal doctors office as advised and it was JUST ridiculous! Though, most of my hives had subsided upon arrival I was still feeling very sick and having some odd symptoms I had not experienced before. My apt was at 4:30. The last appointment of the day. The whole time the doctor and nurse were rushed. They kept looking at the time on the computer acting anxious to leave. I understand, it's Halloween but this is also my health. I had to TELL the doctor what tests I'd like to get done and some the hospital suggested. He didn't act a bit concerned or really care as long as he could get out of there ASAP. I left feeling really upset. No one wants to feel as though there health is neglected. Its sad to say after 24 years I will be going somewhere else. If you have no compassion for your patients, seek a new career!

I had to go back 3 days later for a follow up to have my TB tests read. The front desk told me there is no co pay for that because it is not with the doctor. Got it. (I also called them to confirm this on the day of the follow up visit) Well, I get the EOB from my insurance and apparently the doctor billed me for his office visit ( I expected), the phone call (wth really), and the "office visit" with the nurse that took my vitals and printed me out a letter saying I was negative for TB.
