I called roughly 6 weeks ago to get a second opinion about surgery. I was told I needed a recent…read moreMRI. I found out that it had been a year since my last one, so I called, left a message to have them schedule a new MRI. Took them a week to call me back to tell me they needed my other doctor to order it. They said once it is ordered, they would schedule me. They ordered it promptly. I called them to let them know it was ordered and was told someone would call me back. No one called for over a week, so I called again. About a week later I got a call saying they didn't think it was the proper MRI scheduled, so I made sure and it was. I called again and they said the scheduler would call me back. It has now been almost 3 weeks, so I called yesterday and the person on the phone said someone would call me for sure yesterday. No call. I am done. He might be a good doc, but his staff are not doing their job.

First of all my review of Dr. Lazar is that he is excellent! I am only 5 days out from having a…read moreL4/L5 laminectomy with fusion at UW Medicine Northwest Hospital where my care was excellent, & my perspective at this point seem to be consistent with expectations that I was told. I was discharged Wednesday with a prescription of OxyContin covering (Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday) running out midday Saturday. They told me that I needed to call for a refill if I was going to runout during the weekend. My Costco pharmacy is closed Sundays, so I called Thursday figuring Costco would receive the prescription Friday or Saturday. I waited until Saturday to call the pharmacy, & they had received an order for NALOXONE, but none for OxyContin. They said they often get prescriptions for NALOXONE with OxyContin, but that they didn't get a prescription for OxyContin. Dr. Lazar's office is closed on the weekend, so I can't call them until Monday morning after 9AM (& when I do call them) Costco probably won't be able to fill my prescription until late Monday/early Tuesday. So, I count my remaining number of tablets....14. My prescription was for 42 over 3 1/2 days, so I have enough for 15 hrs. I will be OUT tomorrow morning at 9AM. I have decided to cut my dosage in half, figuring that taking a little over 3 days is better than just stopping after 1 day. This is probably an over site on whomever entered the order, but it affects me more you might understand. 1/2 dose isn't nearly enough, now everything I do is with a lot of pain. I'm supposed to be walking around, but I'm very reluctant as everything I do is even more painful than when I was taking full dosage. This is the third time where something or someone from Dr. Lazar's office hasn't properly informed me correctly of something or whom hasn't followed through with making sure that a communication with my PCP and/or my insurance company. It took 3 weeks of me calling back & forth to my PCP's office & my insurance company before getting an authorization for surgery.....meanwhile I'm in pain waiting for a call. each time I had to initiate phone calls to try to figure out what happened.

They quoted me $250 for consultation and $2,000 for surgery scheduling. The intake paperwork they…read moresent me didn't have the specific numbers but did require a promise to pay so I emailed and asked for the price quotes in writing and didn't get a reply. I called to ask if they would provide a good faith estimate and she said no! Which is illegal under the No Surprises Act. I asked if she could respond to my questions on cost in an email so I could have it in writing and she gave me a fake email to send the questions to! I know it was fake because there was a kick back that said it didn't exist. And yes I had read the email back to her before I had hung up. Seeing the other review on here where they were surprised by an $8,000 charge explains why they refused to put anything in writing. Just want folks to be cautious, going bankrupted for medical care isn't cool. UPDATE- I emailed the email address on your website, so no confusion there. Lexi said they didn't receive it and then gave me an email: lexi.pacificendo@gmail.com, which was not real. I simply asked for the prices I was given over the phone to also be sent via email since they are not in the paper work. I'm not sure why that wouldn't be possible.

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. Overall extremely creepy and utterly traumatic situation. This man should have his license revoked

She prescribed me some in my first appointment which was not supposed to be used with current meds which she knew that I took and asked me about minutes ago in that appointment. I told her I didn't want to take them because they make me feel numb and unfeeling and she said "but you didn't get anxiety right??" She was argumentative and told me I wasn't a whole person. If you can't help patients with what they need then don't take the appointment. I know myself and my body better than you. I walked out of that appointment after 10 minutes crying - all the while she's sitting there as if there's something to talk about still. Please don't go to her, she is terrible.

In July, I had an anterior fusion surgery performed by Sean Keem. My surgery did not go as…read moreexpected and there were complications that kept me in the hospital for 14 days as opposed to the 2 that was anticipated. I'm 52 and totally understand the complications and risks with this type of surgery. I felt what could go wrong went wrong. The problem with a lot of people is they do not understand that when something goes wrong, almost all of the time it has nothing to do with the surgeon performing the procedure. Things just happen. Dr. Keem has always been professional and straight forward with me as well as the staff that works around him. I knew the risks and accepted what happened as part of that but Dr. Keem is great. I'd go to him again (this was my second procedure with him...the first being 7 years ago). The staff at the surgery center was amazing. All of them were great compared to my previous visit. I'd like to give a huge shout out to all of those who cared for me but the one that stood out the most was Morgan. She seemed so much of a real person than a robotic nurse that i had experienced with my previous surgery. She was easy to talk to and seemed relatable to my life experiences. Again...all of the nursing staff was amazing this visit but Morgan stands out the most. Thanks again.

She put me at ease saying, "don't worry...we will take care of you. I met Dr Hall and I knew immediately I was in the right place. I apologized for being tardy and his sweet response was " oh I knew you'd get here. I've been waiting." No reprimands. How refreshing. Dr Hall was kind, knowledgeable, thorough, and I told my husband that I was sorry but I found a new love. :-) He made me that at ease with everything moving forward. There are lots and lots of Ortho doctors out there and I've had a few bad experiences. This time I got it right. Thank you Dr Hall.
