    I was referred to Dr. Carey by my dermatologist to remove a small new mole I had noticed on my…read moreupper eyelid during my skin check. I'm a completely self admitted anxious medical person, especially given that I have a family history of melanoma and have been monitored closely over the years by my dermatologist. Plus, add in it's your eyelid which made me even more nervous. Thankfully I was in the best hands possible. Dr. Carey was so kind, calming, and wonderful throughout this whole process of getting this removed. His staff made everything seamless with scheduling, and answered any questions I had and were so kind when they could probably sense my panic at times about things. I'm almost 2 weeks out from him removing the mole and you can barely tell I had it taken off. I am eternally grateful for his care he has given me and feel so fortunate to have found him. Thank you Dr. Carey!

    Dr. Tim Carey is, without a doubt, the best of the best. His expertise as an ophthalmologist is…read moreunquestionable--he's incredibly knowledgeable, precise, and thorough in every aspect of his care. But what truly sets Dr. Carey apart is his heart. He doesn't just treat patients--he genuinely cares for them. Every appointment feels like a conversation, not a transaction. He takes the time to explain things clearly, answer questions with patience, and make sure you feel seen, heard, and supported. You never feel rushed. You always feel valued. Dr. Carey is a rare and special kind of doctor, and I feel incredibly lucky to be in his care. If you're looking for someone you can trust completely with your vision and your well-being--look no further.

Was scheduled months ago, then got a text that the Dr I scheduled with would be out of the office and I'd need to reschedule. Called twice and first person I talked to was confused and I was put on hold. I was told I had an appointment and the Dr would be in. I called back and got a second person who confirmed I would be seen by a different doctor than I originally booked with. No problem- needed the appointment and DrJackson is great. Got to my appointment early, checked in. Kept waiting well after scheduled start - ok I understand things go on in the field of medicin. Had to ask front desk multiple times about my appointmen. finally got called over 30 minutes past my appointment times. They have great Dra and services but they really need to coordinate better!

After ripping me off on my glasses (my pupils were dilated and the woman kept adding things without explaining what I was signing) they're trying to charge me for things my insurance covered. They said they accept my insurance and that my insurance would cover the new patient exam (which is overpriced considering how terrible the quality of the doctors here is). My appointment started an hour late and they offered products that I don't think a doctor not trying to scam you would offer. Do not go here. Scam alert!

Scheduling my medical visit was a breeze compared to other vision clinic I contacted and no annoying automated system and long holds. They verified my medical insurance coverage ahead which was very helpful. Parking is easy as its parking lot is right in front of the office. Busy office but reasonable wait and everyone was so helpful in explaining possible wait time and what to expect next. Didn't feel like the typical medical visit in that you feel like everyone is a friend and treated you like one. Dr Carey was super knowledgeable and explain things in a way that made sense which helped me retained the info. He did all sorts of assessment to make sure my eyes were alright.

I probably would have not made the hour-long drive into Seattle on my own, but I trusted the dermatologist's choice. I feel very fortunate to be so well taken care by Dr. Carey and his staff. He was totally worth the long drive and I will continue to see him for future need if they arise.

    I actually loved Dr. Periman. She is extremely personable, seemed very knowledgeable about dry…read moreeyes, mites, etc. and her staff were very pleasant. That said, I ended up paying nearly $4,000 for a bunch of stuff...lid cleansing, and 4 IPL treatments for Rosacea and ocular Rosacea. I had inquired from her staff about Excel V which I had read was the gold standard for ocular rosacea and they told me IPL was the way to go. Well, I only saw Dr. one time. The 4 IPL treatments were done by her staff. When I told them it didn't seem to be working about half way through I was told I needed patience so I went for the entire course per Docs recommendation. Not only did it not improve my skin at all, it actually made my eyes worse. Wish they would have laid out my options before rushing me into something that was really not intended for rosacea. Surely as knowledgable as this Dr is she would have known about the procedures such as Excel V and V Beam and could have explained them all so I could have made a choice. When I told the staff it didn't work they just said "ok". No follow up with me by the Dr or anyone else. This did leave me feeling like it was all about the Benjamins to them. Hope I'm wrong but here I sit....my eyes worse then ever, my skin still bad and my bank account much smaller. She came highly recommended and is probably great for dry eyes but I would not recommend her for ocular rosacea at all.

They answered all the questions I had and, being an engineer, I usually have a lot. I WILL go back to them for my next eye exam or any other needs. It was such a great visit. I've never had a doctor and their staff make me feel so relaxed and comfortable. This is the right one.

    Dr. Karmali is the best doctor I've ever had, and I've had great doctors in the past. I visited her…read moretowards the end of last year as a new patient and she spent about 30 minutes getting to know me before checking everything that I asked her to. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed every step of the way, talking me through everything. Dr. Karmali is extremely kind, attentive, gentle, humble, and calming. She went to UW Med School, so extra points for that! Another cool thing is that Swedish uses MyChart, an online personal health record system where you can see your medical history, appointments, messages from your doctor, etc. Strangely, when I called to make an appointment, the receptionist said that Dr. Karmali did not have any openings until January 2015. However, when I went online to MyChart, I saw multiple openings between now and the end of the year. I ended up making an online appointment with Dr. Karmali for early December and cancelling my phone-made appointment with another doctor at Swedish. I am so excited to go see Dr. Karmali again soon!

After my motorcycle accident in 2009 Dr. Karmali checked up on me and worked with my medical records from Harborview to continue with my pain management care. To this day she still works closely with me on this care and has been very good at keeping an eye out for my health and well being and continues to work with my pain management doctor at Harborview. Dr. Karmali set me up with MyChart (available to all Swedish patients) when I moved back to WA and through that I am able to discuss issues with her without having to make an appointment to go into the clinic (I'm already there enough as it is!) and she is quick to get back to me usually same day but definitely within 24 hours. She even responds on her days off and to me, that is complete dedication and proves just how much she cares about her patients. I have recommended her to a couple of friends and they love her as well. Dr. Karmali is very knowledgeable and caring. If she is unsure of something she will investigate the issue to ensure that you get the best possible care. She is just an amazing doctor and an even more amazing person.
