It doesn't feel like you're going to a doctors appointment in any of the less desirable ways, but definitely feels like it in all the good ways that reinforce you're getting the best quality care. A good friend of mine found BoxBar while researching her own venous condition and is already seeing major improvements in her quality of life. I went in with my mom and the staff was great at getting us scheduled back to back since I'm the driver. Our successive appointments are scheduled the same way, and they really care about being accessible. I also have my own slew of rare autoimmune diagnoses, and a couple are comorbid with their own vascular risks / stroke risks so I wanted to get a thorough assessment with some hard data. We're getting all the data. Dr. Derrick was familiar with a lot of nuanced factors and details tied to my diagnoses I've never seen any other doctor outside of rheumatology have any in depth knowledge over. It was a pleasant surprise and incredibly validating.

I got the sclerotherapy for spider veins and it was minimally painful. Everyone from the front desk staff to the people who bring you in to the rooms are very friendly. I've always felt comfortable and cared for. They went above and beyond when I switched insurances and helped me with scheduling. I live about 25 min away and I'd gladly make the drive to see this team. Glad to have used them and hope they help many future patients live healthier and happier lives.

The team is great, and almost equally important, they have all the necessary tools to work with, so they don't try to resolve issues with the wrong tool. Got an online video consultation with Sarah about my concerns, and she explained the available treatments and scheduled me with Margot. Third time with Margot, and my skin is already much healthier. She is honest about what these machines can and cannot do for you and adjusts the skincare strategy accordingly. Last but not least, there is no judgment passed, snobbery, or anything. They're here to improve your quality of life, they love what they're doing, and they're good at it. ... And their new location kicks !@#. ;-)

It took so long just to get an appt., then it was cancelled that day. Had to go far across to another town to get another appt much later, and the appt. just felt rushed, among other things that we found disappointing but are declining to mention here. I can't imagine entrusting my healthcare to a place I felt disrespected. Won't be back.

Hi! Just for anyone…read moreout there who sees another review that is negative, don't let that stop you from calling this office. The person who posted that review went on a 2 mile bike ride right after surgery so that's definitely not the doctors fault. I had an incredible experience with the doctor, nursing staff, and the entire office. I am someone who is scared of doctors and they made my care as calm as possible. I had an incredible surgery and my after care was better than I could have imagined. I had no complications and my surgical scars are almost completely gone. If you need someone to help with your vascular issue, please come here. if I ever have any issues in the future, I will be coming back here again.

Less than an hour after the procedure my leg was bleeding excessively and the phone number they gave me sent me to a voicemail saying call back tomorrow at 8am. Having no choice I went to the ER to be sure my leg was ok. $2000 later, due to their lack of communication and mistake, I'm paying the price. They took no accountability to say "we include excessive bleeding" as being normal which I call BI will never go back and do not recommend them to anyone. If I could I would give them ZERO stars. The bleeding in the lic they say is "normal". Hmm, no.

So, due to problems, I searched and seeked another surgeon who could properly fix my husband's fistula. Well, I found Dr. Matthew E. Bennett and I saw that he was located at Virginia Mason, which for us, was a plus, since my husband's transplant team is also at Virginia Mason. Anyway, back to Dr. Bennett. He was great. He was thorough, he answered questions, he made sure we had all the information we needed. He did the surgery and my husband's arm looked so much better than we thought it would. Dr Bennett did a great job. Super incredible. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this guy. I wish more dr's were like him. He listens to his patients, he calms their concerns and fears, and just an overall great dr. I'm so glad he's the one my husband saw.

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.
