First off I would like to thank all the staff and people that make Hotel California By the sea so…read morewarming and really treat you like a person and are there for you.It was my 4th rehab within one year. Not only did they address my addiction the helped me through my divorce of 20 years. Having said that I want to reiterate you comfortable they made it from detox to discharge no other place does it like them if I could give them 10 stars I would. I know there are rehab places flooded online trying to get patients in. But that's the difference between HCBTS they treat you as a human being not an insurance payday. So moving forward call Mel get admitted and they will change your life for The good. I moved straight into a sober living house called Oxford that they helped me get into it's been a game changer. I also recommend the alumni meetings either zoom or in person they make you feel like you can accomplish the world but remember take it one day at a time and work the system just know you can do it there lots of support and they do follow ups on your progress. I could go on forever about HCBTS. So what are you waiting for call Mel and your life will change. This review is looking pretty epic! Nice!

I was about to go into detox here. I re called around midnight to see if my insurance covers…read moreimpatient. The first person who answered was demeaning immediately. I hung up. I got a another call by the assistant director and more professional, but still demeaning, "it's midnight". I said "got it, understood". Then quickly realized, addiction issues never deals with time, and the amount of money this place requests, this is beyond okay. I called back the assistant director, no answer but said on VM what I said last sentence. Then, I looked up the assistant director's background - Real Estate history Only. Nothing related to addiction or mental health.

Dr Cavanaugh is incredible! I moved away from Seattle and haven't been able to find an osteopath…read morethat can fix all my aches, pains and injuries the way he can. I've had lower back issues most of my adult life. His adjustments/manipulations are amazingly subtle, healing and kept me mobile and functional. If you're lucky to live near him I wouldn't hesitate to make an appointment. 1st time appointments are longer and there might be a wait, so plan ahead. Dr Cavanaugh is well worth it!

I've been a patient of Dr. Cavanaugh's for ten years now. He's one of the best caregivers I've…read moreencountered in the medical profession; kind, good listener, and highly skilled in treating my particular medical issues (spine, joint and muscular from a moderately active lifestyle). He's kept me on my feet and going. I've also had nothing but positive experiences with the receptionist; whether scheduling, rescheduling, or interactions. Since I take personal responsibility for ensuring my appointments are accurate I've only had one or two miscues on scheduling over ten years; usually due to my error. In both instances Dr. Cavanaugh and his receptionist were very forgiving; and accommodating as much as possible in rescheduling. Now that the scheduling system is automated with an email reminder I haven't missed or mixed up an appointment date.

I've had an absolutely great couple of experiences at/with Greenleaf Health Care and really can't…read morerecommend them enough to qualifying patients for cannabis authorization, but also to anyone for wonderful holistic treatment! Their website is super easy to navigate and is, in my opinion, pretty ingeniously set up. You can choose from a plethora of different types of appointments: GHC offers cannabis authorizations, of course, but also craniosacral therapy, nutrition consultation, Thai (deep tissue) massage, counseling, and naturopathic healing. Legally, all medical cannabis patients now have to make a follow-up appt after the initial mmj authorization (it's not just a GHC thing), so it's fantastic that you get a choice in terms of what you want your 2nd appt to be! I chose the Thai massage, and OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dr. McDonald's hands are MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED to make another Thai massage appt cuz it's life-changing, for real. Just thinking about it now makes me wanna RUN back!! Scheduling appts is *super* easy cuz you can do it super fast online. You can click "Schedule an appointment" or "Schedule now", and it'll take you to their list of types of appointments. You choose the one you want, and it then it shows you their calendar of available appointments, and then you simply click on the date & time that works best for you: Tada! Scheduled!!! (And they'll send e-mail reminders about your appointment also, which I find super helpful.) If you wanna call GHC, don't worry if they don't answer because you CAN (despite what another Yelper wrote) leave a voicemail, and they'll get back to you. But if you're shy or just don't feel like talking at all, you don't have to! You can set up an appointment entirely with/on the computer! Finding the office is a bit tricky if you don't know what to look for. Yep, you've got the address, and you go to Ballard Ave NW (which is a bit hidden as well), but then you're all, "What? Where IS this place?!?" Okay: It's on the left-hand (West) side of the street right next to Rudy's Barbershop (5229 Ballard Ave. NW), but all you see from the outside of the building is a set of steps that leads up to an old wooden door that appears locked. It's not (at least not during office hours). Go in and then up a few more stairs and, at the top of them, take a right, and you see the GHC suite door, which may already be open. Don't worry just cause no one is there to greet you the moment you enter the cozy waiting room; there's tons of clipboards laying about for you to pick one up and start writing down your information, and Dr. McDonald will step out of his office to welcome you in just a minute when he's finished his session assisting his previous patient! Dr. McDonald's just great! He's just so calm and professional and caring. Can't say enough good things about him!!!! (And speaking personally about the deep-tissue massage... Well, his hands are MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!) The ONLY thing that's tricky for me to report on is the fact that the many stairs are not ADA accessible, but GHC does offer home visits (for a fee). Go Greenleaf Health Care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. If you're going to renew your medical marijuana authorization, make sure to bring any of your medical records that pertain to your qualifying disability cause it saves you $20!

RUN!!! They lie and then treat you poorly!…read more I had an iron transfusion early 2019. At that time Greenleaf Healthcare told me my infusion was covered. In fact, I had one prior without issue. And I had several infusions at another doctor in a few months prior to that. I've since found an amazing naturopath that has had no issues with my insurance, BUT she also knows what she's doing. Months after my infusion(during covid) I was contacted by then telling me to pay my bill. Confused, I said they had informed me that my services were covered. They said my insurance covered one and agreed to a second and then changed their minds. How is this my issue? Now, almost two years later, they email again telling me to pay. I explained AGAIN what I reported previously and they sent me a nasty email. They clearly don't know how to run a business and are desperate for cash. Such disgusting display of behavior!

I have had reverse shoulder replacement surgery on each shoulder this past year, five months apart…read more What most patients say about Dr. Jurek's rapport, support, and positivity are definitely true, but of course my main concern as a patient was with the outcomes. I'm pleased to say that the outcomes so far have been far better than I had expected, with very little pain after surgery and smooth and quick recoveries. I was swinging a golf club after 6 weeks, and was playing golf just 8 weeks after my first surgery. I had a similar and even better result, with even less pain and quicker recovery time, after my second surgery. I would certainly recommend Dr. Jurek to anyone for shoulder replacement surgery, and after having worked with her through my two surgeries, I am confident that I would recommend her for any orthopedic procedure within her expertise. She is really terrific. (I should also add that she was initially recommended to me by another very highly-rated orthopedic surgeon, so she is clearly highly-regarded by her colleagues and fellow specialists as well.)

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!

Dr. Karmali is by far the best doctor I have ever had. I found her at Swedish Downtown on 4th Ave…read more(she's still there) when I first moved to Capitol Hill in 2008 and even when I moved down to Puyallup, out of state, and then back again (now live in Tukwila) I continue to keep her as my primary care physician. 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.
