I can remember my first visit by the hospital and the staff caring hasn't changed. My one concern was that a survey appeared days after my procedure wanting my DOB up front. It made me nervous so I didn't answer as so many places are promoting scams. If this is NWGASTRO, you may want to rethink asking for personal information right away. Thanks and Go Bills, the Dr. will understand!!!!

Easy 5 stars I…read morewant to sincerely thank everyone at NW Gastroenterology for another truly positive experience during my colonoscopy yesterday. While I try to downplay these appointments (having had them every three years!), they're never exactly fun and yet your team consistently makes the entire process feel comfortable and reassuring. From the kind receptionist who patiently explained the paperwork, to Mary in pre-op who took the time to walk me through everything and put me at ease, to the nurses who cared for me so warmly and seamlessly every interaction reflected genuine kindness. Even with so many patients moving through each day, your office never feels impersonal. That really stands out. I especially appreciated my doctor checking in multiple times to reintroduce himself and make sure I felt informed and comfortable. Thank you all for the compassion and professionalism you show. It truly radiates throughout your practice. And I'm especially grateful to be leaving with good news yay! I don't have to return for five whole years!

STAY AWAY FROM WESTERN WA MEDICAL GROUP IF YOU WANT TO BE HEALTHY! Horrible place to start taking…read morecare of your health! They DO NOT answer their phone lines. Instead, you have to leave a VM. Their phone number is: 425.259.3122 I was referred by my doctor (by FAX) to the above facility for an endoscopy on October 1st, 2020. My doctor sent me a letter saying if they don't call you for an appointment, I have to get them to schedule one. Nobody called me, so after waiting for one week, I called them. Their tape says I have to wait ten business days for WESTERN WA MEDICAL GROUP to contact me to schedule an appointment. After ten business days, I called every day, left VMs, and nobody called me back. Lucky me, one day, I got them during their lunchtime and was able to talk to a live person from an answering service. She was very friendly and took care of me. After talking to her the next day, a scheduler coordinator called me to schedule my consultation visit w/a doctor. I asked her why it took over 14 business days to call me back. She said they are super swamped; they get 2,000 fax referrals per day (I don't believe it). My question was, why don't you hire more people to help you? She said they are in the process of doing so. I requested to talk to her supervisor. The supervisor was not available and was supposed to call me back in 2 business days. It's two business WEEKS, and nobody called me back. How come they are still in the business is beyond me? Meanwhile, I called different gastroenterologists, talked to a live person (not a tape) got an appointment! My new GI doctor has over 100 reviews w/five stars. Western WA Medical Group doctors have three reviews of 1 star and one review of 4 stars. Unbelievable! STAY AWAY FROM THAT PLACE UNLESS YOU WANT TO RUIN YOUR HEALTH!

His office has all the nice accoutrements you want: clean waiting room, short wait times with prompt appointments, friendly nurses etc but you really come here for the man. He practices out of Evergreen and he is like an urban legend there or something. Everybody knows him, respects him. If you gotta get cut open, he's the guy you want holding the scalpel for sure.

After extensive research, I selected Dr. Towbin. Even my gastroenterologist said that if he had a hernia that he too would go to Dr. Towbin -- that really reassured me. Dr. Towbin and the staff was great throughout the entire experience. The surgery was successful. I felt very little pain afterwards thanks to his skill . Within 3 days, I was walking around. Tomorrow I am going in for my one month post-op visit. I back to normal now. I recommend him to anyone living in the Kirkland area who needs this surgery done.

I had to request pre-op instructions to be sent to me after they claimed they mailed them, well they did not. I get a text message saying I need to pick up the stuff I had to drink, well can't do that without prescription, and then I find out the physician is female for which I am not comfortable with, male doctors should only be attending male patients. I don't want some strange woman looking at my privates, I'm married thank you very much. Frankly, the better part of me finds the whole thing rather uncomfortable and embarrassing really. Above all, I had to cancel twice seeing as no one can get message once. Canceled it and choosing possibly another place that doesn't expect patients to do their job. I'm 46, I thought this was recommended for 50 and older? I suppose it could be any age but I haven't seen a thing on where this has changed.

She investigated my symptoms thoroughly and listened to all my medical concerns. Both me and my husband have seen her for treatment and were very satisfied with the care we received. My examinations included endoscopy and sigmoidoscopy and my husband had a colonoscopy. All of these procedures were conducted flawlessly. It's hard to find doctors like Dr. Parker. We highly recommend her. Also, the facility is very clean and the nurses and staff are all kind, helpful and patient.

UPDATE: WARNING!!!!…read more I went to WAGI through my Kaiser insurance. Under my insurance Kaiser will pay 100% of the cost with negotiated prices with no financial obligation to me. Guess What??? WAGI sent me a bill for the difference. I called Kaiser and they said I had to pay nothing. Then I called WAGI and told them what Kaiser said. They said the bill went out before Kaiser paid anything and was a "mistake". The bill said Kaiser had paid. You have to watch out for these small clinics. They will send you a bill anyway just to see if you would pay.

He immediately dismissed me. As soon as he sat down. It turns out It was not nothing. My spleen was enlarged because I have Mantle Cell lymphoma. I waited, unnecessarily believing him, thinking I was overreacting. I reached out to the clinic to complain and no one responded to me except for billing for my correct insurance information. This place does not care about patients. You are a dollar sign. Period. Be an advocate for yourself. Don't always trust the word of doctors. Just because they got through college doesn't mean they're intelligent, good people or care about human life.
