Their facility at Northgate is nothing fancy, but it's comfortable. Parking is easy and free On the downside, my last request for a dermatology appointment was refused, as they had no available appointments for months.

Dr. Carkin has been my rheumatologist since her time at Minor & James (so many years) and changed my life. I shudder to think how I would manage my autoimmune disease without her. She truly deserves her Best in Seattle awards. Standing with her are all the staff and medical assistants who make my care there seamless. They called me once because I needed to reschedule a visit. I remembered to call back right after they closed. A day later, they called me again, just like that, saving me from my forgetfulness. The infusion center is also amazing and does some high level magic to get everyone scheduled, then moved around when things change. Everyone is nice, courteous and understanding of the issues that bring us to the clinic, so you don't have to explain, ask people to wear masks or anything else. In a world where chronic illness makes you feel abnormal, I feel normal and welcome at TSAC. I've seen several practitioners there and they are all equally good. Yes, you absolutely need another physician's referral to be seen there. TSAC has a great reputation and their services are in very high demand. I'm very grateful.

*** EXCELLENT CHIROPRACTOR *** Very Personable & Knowledgeable…read more Dr NJ is a very professional and thorough chiropractor. I absolutely loved my experience with Dr NJ...seriously wish he was still in Hawaii. Dr NJ's clinical knowledge is outstanding and he is also compassionate and caring. He is motivating in helping his patients achieve a level of wellness that focuses on quality of life. Dr NJ's adjustments definitely made an improvement. I had sciatica for years prior to seeing Dr NJ...and was seen by several other non-Gonstead chiropractors throughout the years, with no improvement to my sciatica. After a year of being in Dr NJ's care I had no sciatica. His manner is very reassuring and calming. I would highly recommend Dr NJ to anyone.

My regular chiropractor had moved away, and it took me a couple of years to find a new one. During…read morethat time, due to work (sitting at a desk in front of a computer all day) and stress I developed some significant back and neck problems. In short, I was a MESS. From day one Dr. NJ was very welcoming and friendly and immediately set me at ease (I am generally leery of doctors, having had bad experiences in the past). We jumped right in on day one and he did some in-depth analysis, through brief self-assessments, and conversations where I described my life; sleep, exercise, etc, overall health and work habits and we took some x-rays. By the second appointment he had done a through analysis and put up the x-ray up on screen in front of me to meticulously go over every detail and explain what he was seeing in terms I could understand, addressing my questions along the way. Turns out all that stiffness, limited mobility, and pain was real and we set on moving forward with the plan to get me out of the hole I was in. Each visit started with some basic back/neck warm up then moved into a series of adjustments. These weren't just the 'crack your back' kind of adjustments, but moving from one station to the next using a variety of tables, chairs, tools and techniques he deliberately began getting my whole neck and spin readjusted and aligned. During this process he also introduced new exercises I can easily do at home designed to go hand and hand with the adjustments. At every appointment I would come in with a new question, about my desk, my chair, my mattress, stretching exercises, all different questions about all kinds things and each time NJ listened and shared his deep knowledge. Together we would look at things like chairs or mattresses (we together looked at new pillows and mattresses toppers...a life changer). He is so helpful and so knowledgeable! I went from a lot of stiffness and pain, to better sleep and overall better quality of life in a just a few months. It really has a family feeling as his wife (Pronounced: Gwan) works the front desk. I tend to chat with both of them about the things in my life and theirs. Their office is clean, and orderly and in the Northgate area it is extremely easy to get to, and always ample parking! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Insight to anyone! If you have any back or neck issues or have had an accident, do your self a favor and get into see Dr. NJ! Michael

I had an extremely concerning experience with this psychiatry practice that felt disorganized,…read moremisleading, and financially inappropriate. I have been to many psychiatrists in the past. My care was handled by a physician's assistant, Sanjana ("SJ"), which I was not informed of in advance -- I expected to be seen by an actual psychiatrist. I had three appointments: (1) An initial intake appointment; (2) An in-office computerized "head test" for attention; (3) A virtual appointment to review the test results. Then asked to do another in-office head test as well as a blood test (basically to bill my copay and insurance). I came in with a 15-year documented history of ADHD and brought my prior prescription bottle, which she didn't care to see, as I had recently moved from California and needed continuity of care. Prior to my diagnosis years ago, my ADHD was severe enough that I nearly failed out of school, which is why timely and consistent treatment is critical for me. During this process, I was also told that I needed to complete blood work before medication could be considered. However, despite multiple inquiries, no one ever informed me what blood work was required or how to complete it, adding yet another unexplained delay. During the third appointment, Sanjana told me that the actual psychiatrist would not be available for another week and that her "hands were tied" and she could not prescribe. Afterward, when I contacted the office, staff initially told me that she could prescribe -- and then later told me that she had decided she was "uncomfortable prescribing." This shift was never communicated to me directly and made the entire process confusing and contradictory. I inquired, did not receive a response. Throughout this time, I was very clear about the urgency of my situation and the professional consequences of being off ADHD medication. Instead, I was put through multiple appointments, testing, and vague requirements with no clear treatment plan or transparency around prescribing authority. Notably, after all of this, the practice refunded all of my copays, which strongly suggests they recognized that these visits should not have occurred as they did. Overall, this experience involved unnecessary hurdles, inconsistent explanations, poor communication, and a lack of follow-through. I strongly recommend that patients clarify who they will be seeing, who can prescribe, and what the treatment plan is before committing to care here. And I find Sanjana not empathetic enough to work in psychiatry.

I'm grateful to have worked with Dr. Jesse McClelland, who diagnosed me with ADHD at 32. I was…read moreworried about getting dismissed due to being high-functioning and getting good grades in school and having an advanced degree. Dr. McClelland's expertise in ADHD is exceptional. He's knowledgeable about symptoms, coping mechanisms, and how various medications work at the neurotransmitter level. He will explain it all to you when he prescribes the meds. He also has an extensive intake process with tons of paperwork. It was quite overwhelming for me to complete and I took like 2 months of procrastination to do it, but I'm glad it exists. It definitely validates I have ADHD and that it's not a fluke. I did a lot of research on the Internet and I had read about others' struggles finding competent ADHD care so I felt lucky to have a doctor who was both thorough and open to prescribing the right medications. I was a tough case (like the 1% according to the literature he had sent me) and Dr. Mcclelland was patient enough to help me titrate over 15 combos of medications to find the best one with the least side effects. I ended up with a more obscure stimulant called Dyanavel. It still doesn't work super well and we would have continued trying more obscure medications. Unfortunately, I had to stop seeing him when I moved to California, where I'm struggling to find an equally knowledgeable and accessible ADHD specialist. Many psychiatrists charge $600 consultation fees and don't accept insurance. My only critique of Dr. McClelland is his office's telemedicine setup. He often runs late, and the website doesn't alert you when he's joined the virtual room. I had to stare at the screen to know when i can even request to join the meeting. As someone with ADHD, this setup is challenging. Once I missed an appointment by tabbing out while waiting. It caused me a lot of stress because I had to wait another 3 weeks to be seen again but thankfully, his office didn't charge me for the missed appointment. From then on, when the doctor was delayed, I would call the front office out of anxiety I would miss another appointment. I found out that they rarely picked up the phone! They mostly communicate through email which is okay but if you have an urgent matter you're out of luck. Overall, I whole heartedly recommend doctor McClelland. Just be aware you will have to deal with his idiosyncrasies and the customer service isn't the best.

Maybe that's okay, but it seemed like a very superficial encounter - especially for $450.

Absolutely horrible experience seeing dr Vega.

He said yes it was the only way ,after consulting other drs I learned that this was 100% untrue. There were countless other ways he could have confirmed my condition. He was also apparently unaware that the extremely time sensitive medication he prescribed to me , was illegal to carry at ANY pharmacy within 100 miles of me (I was informed by a pharmacist at the 4th pharmacy I went to in attempts to obtain said medication) wasting several hours of my time and worsening the severity of my condition.
