First visit to LensCrafters, Federal Way, Dr. Pham, DDS. He was personable, polite and patient. At…read moremy age I had lots of questions about the health of my eyes. Only 4-Stars due to the staff being somewhat "pushy" with regards to selling us (wife & I) new glasses. We went in explaining we are retirees on Medicare with Aetna Insurance (supplemental). One of the staff members checked our medical coverage and immediately said we needed to pay $39.00 each for the exams. My wife explained that we shouldn't be charged due to our age and we are diabetic (this exam being our annual check-up), and we've never been charged before. She then checked again and came back and said, "Oh, your exams are free". I understand that LensCrafters is in the business to make money, but being retired and on fixed incomes we cannot afford $400+ for glasses (each). The person assisting us was somewhat reluctant to give us our prescriptions, but my wife was persistent and we obtained copies of our prescriptions. Nice selection of frames with high-class names (Ray Ban, Stetson, etc.), but when you add up the costs of new frames ($188-$200+) and lenses, they quickly become cost prohibitive. As stated in the begging of this review, Dr. Pham was knowledgeable and great to talk with. We'll more than likely be back next year for our annual exams.

I am post surgical decompression of my L4-L5, by 1 day... I woke up today almost pain free. My…read moreOrtho doctor, Dr James Pritchett, had Dr James Raisis assist him with my surgery. My husband and I found Dr Raisis to be very friendly, respectful and great bedside manner. I am very, very picky about who my doctors are, and I immediately felt very comfortable with Dr Raisis. In the recovery room I heard staff talking about him, and they had nothing but good things to say about him. In my book, if medical staff speaks highly of a doctor, that is who I'm going too see! Dr Pritchett made a good choice!! Two wonderful doctors, and this morning, I'm sore but no real pain!! I was told to expect lots of pain post op...doesn't seem to be happening! And I credited those two doctors and the great staff at Swedish Ortho Insitiute!!

I don't live in Seattle anymore so this review is rather overdue, but I am currently reviewing my…read morerecords from Dr. Raisis and his colleague Dr. Steege, which reminded me I wanted to review them here. Dr. Raisis in particular was completely disinterested in my case; he was never receptive to anecdotes that would help explain my symptoms (in fact, he outright said he had never seen my particular issue in his career, when in fact it is a fairly common issue and relatively easy to see on diagnostic images, according to information I've gathered and surgeons I've met in the meantime). For a few years I defended him, saying that while his bedside manner was terrible, he was a good "mechanic." That changed when I was diagnosed and treated for a rare infection that Dr. Raisis had neglected to warn me was a possibility of the last surgery he had done on me. In fact, Dr. Steege had seen me while I was trying to get a diagnosis, and he correctly guessed what was wrong but dismissed me saying that couldn't be the case. By the time my infection was diagnosed, there was an imminent threat of kidney failure (yes, stemming from a neuro issue!). I would not recommend Dr. Raisis or his colleague Dr. Steege. Terrible customer service, and negligent doctors with little interest in cases they do not find compelling.

He takes the time to listen to what you have to say and really puts into thought. When there is something wrong he explains everything in detail so you can understand everything he is talking about! Dr. Ochi , is a great nephrologist who truly knows his stuff! I have a few times that when something was wrong about my kidneys or protein spillage, he was on top of it, no matter what day or time! I'm mean that too! He had gotten some lab work sent to him in the evening, and he immediately called me about the problem. He didn't Waite for the next business day,he took it upon himself to call right then , no matter the time, which it was past his working hours. I really appreciate his caring and concern for his patients! His very patient with his patients and shows that he really wants help you feel better! My husband and I am so glad that we have Dr. Rex Ochi for our nephrologist! I would never trade him for another nephrologist! I have seen quite a few nephrologist in my 33 years of having kidney disease and I absolutely love Dr. Ochi. If your looking for someone who truly cares and takes the time for you, and listens to your concerns, I highly, highly recommend Dr. Rex Ochi in Seattle, WA You will not regret it!

Folks seeking sensitivity or empathy, consider looking elsewhere. This practitioner goes to…read moreEXTREME lengths to collect background information but made little to no connection to very real underlying issues that my husband and I disclosed before our first couples meeting. Did she even read everything we had been asked to provide?? In our two sessions, Ms. Katon revealed a defensive attitude, impatience, and offered no demonstration of compassion. We were also taken aback by inappropriate offhand remarks (laughingly suggesting, for example, that we "go home and have make-up sex" as we were leaving our first session -- where "sex" had not even been mentioned!! Really?!) Such a loaded comment could throw a grenade into many relationships; couples seeking help from a "professional" while struggling to move forward. This is one example of inappropriate "treatment" with little to no genuine understanding of how vulnerable new clients can be when seeking therapeutic assistance. After two sessions (we did not return) it became clear that this practitioner has real and present issues of her own to resolve. If you do move in her direction for therapy, proceed with caution, know that she is direct to a fault (insensitive), and watch for other red flags -- of which there are many.

Used the automated system to cancel my first appointment with Dr. Waterman - 3 days before my…read morescheduled appointment (On Monday - my appointment was Thursday). Clearly the system didn't work as I got a form letter regarding my 'no show'. However - what really upset me was the personalized note I received at the bottom of the form letter: "We are very busy in the clinic and need appointment slots for other patients. We appreciate that you not make appointments you can't keep" It was signed by Dr. Waterman - not sure if she or her office wrote the note. Either way it was in bad form to write a shame note at the bottom for a new patient. I will definitely not be seeing her/or anyone at pacific hill if this is the way they treat new / existing patients. Their systematic mishap/bug results in a personalized nasty gram? Not that their office cares as they are so busy. Its hard enough to find a doctor, let alone one you can trust - not going to trust someone who felt the need to shame me before meeting me- or doing their homework that their systems were down. Pretty sure that is why Form Letters exist - to avoid someone writing their own personal feelings and making customers (because its America, we pay for treatment) angry or feel as though they can't entrust the individuals in who we place our most intimate needs.

For good reason! She is friendly, very intelligent, and I feel comfortable speaking with her about any concerns or questions without it being awkward. It also helps that things are explained in ways that make sense, not in a bunch of medical gobbledygook. Sometimes she is a little hard to schedule, as she is obviously very busy, but she is competent and definitely someone I would recommend.
