Amazing doctor that has helped more than any neurologist with knowledge and compassion. He was…read morethorough and clear. Highly recommend him! However, good luck dealing with some of his office staff. A reason for me to go elsewhere. Over the phone, I gave her the bottom line on my records, she constantly interrupted, was rude, and apparently had no time for my call or making me an appointment. Seattle has many great docs, and Dr. Fosmire is at the top of the list.... However, sometimes life is easier when you don't have to deal with a rude office staff member. I have been in a customer service position for forty years, and she would have been fired on the spot.

He is very intelligent, caring, patient, gentle, thorough and he explained not only what he was doing, but also the questions I had about where my complicated issues are. He showed me a picture of the spine nerves like I had never seen before and so much made sense. The staff is friendly and caring as well, and they and the MRI scheduling team speak very highly of him. I highly recommend Dr. Fosmire. My husband was at my appointment with me, and he also liked him very much and said he trusts him with my care, and he would trust him with his.

We just moved to Portland so trying to investigate a doctor here but realized the great doctor (Dr. Glynn-Thami) that I had been seeing for five years back in Washington hasn't been reviewed on Yelp as yet. Dr. Glynn-Thami is great, easy to talk to and down to earth. She has over 20 years of practice and is a really calming influence. She refers you to specialists when it's beyond her area of expertise and doesn't unnecessarily medicate. She is my OB GYN and was my doctor all through the time I was pregnant with my now three year old. Given that she is family practice, is convenient that she also sees our toddler for her well child check-ups. If only Dr. Glynn Thami lived in Portland since we've moved here and struggling finding a doctor here... :(

I cannot say enough about how kind, compassionate and truly patient she was through the years. Though I'm in excellent health, I am not an easy patient to deal with as I prefer natural / holistic solutions to everyday health issues, shy away from most vaccinations and only take pharmaceutical drugs as a last resort. Though she's very traditional (and knowledgeable) in her approach to health care, she always listened to my concerns and never tried to force me into anything I wasn't comfortable with. In addition to being an all around great physician, she is also very personable and has a truly gifted bedside manner.

I recently suffered a serious shoulder injury. I was able to stabilize my condition on my own but…read moreas I navigated our health system, Urgent Care -- Teledoc -- Emergency Room -- Specialist, this resulted in my condition not being taken seriously. I was told to ice it and start PT. When I started with the PT specialist, they immediately flagged my condition as serious and recommended I talk to the folks at LWSS. I met with Dr. Chimes and he was the first doctor that took the time to listen to the issues I was experiencing. Dr. Chimes is direct and blunt in his feedback, a trait some may not like but I really appreciated. Dr. Chimes got me setup for a MRI that took place @3pm. He called me on his day off at 8:30 the next morning to get me in contact with a surgeon. Until I met with the folks at LWSS, I was feeling pretty abandoned by the healthcare industry. I can't emphasize enough my appreciation for them taking my condition serious and putting me on the right track.

This is my full update review (I have removed my prior). TL;DR at bottom…read more I saw Doctor Chimes around one year ago for intense hip and back pain. Right away, it was clear he cares more about his personal time than his patients. He told me he wanted yes or no answers and not explanations to his questions (and wouldn't really let me explain things in full even when it would clarify things). After my MRI, which showed multiple spinal issues (bulging, herniated, parse defect, which is a fracture) and bursitis in the hip, he gave me a shot for the bursitis that had already begun healing on its own. During this time, I continually try to tell him the pain is not in the location of the bursitis anymore. He continually ignores or even speaks over me. At the end, I am again trying to tell him I feel pain elsewhere in my hip even though there is a little reduction after the shot (but I was numbed, so of course it would hurt less). To test my pain, he had me stand up from my chair...once. Worse, when we were done and I was alone in the room, when I tried to get up to put my pants on, the pain was so intense I collapsed. This pain happened again when I got home and tried to take one step up the stairs. During our last appointment, instead of listening to me, he tells me "Your pain doesn't match the MRI", and that tells me I'm about to be dismissed, but then it got worse. He continues with, "In his professional opinion, you just need internal pelvic floor PT". Why? Because I'm a woman...and he asked me 2 or 3 YES or NO questions around sex and did not let me explain the answers... I told him I didn't think so, but he disagreed. Well, after speaking with a Pelvic Floor specialist, she disagreed with his assessment. So, instead of doing that, I went to Evergreen Sports and Spine and met with a new doctor who actually took my pain seriously. With his help and a new PT, another MRI of my hip WITH contrast (he was surprised that Dr. Chimes didn't order contrast as it's needed for specific tears in the hip), we found that I had a CAM Morphology, that should have been showing up on my other X-rays and MRIs, but apparently weren't spotted and/or reported...and that I had a tear in the Labrum of my right hip. Later, they also found I had a small pincer as well. So, a double impingement. I had to have surgery because the surgeon I spoke with next agreed that the tear was too large to not do surgery if I wanted to not be in pain. No arguing. No trying to talk me out of it. They immediately agreed it was the best course of action. I had surgery April 2nd of 2024 to remove my CAM and the Pincer they found, and then repair the labrum. While I'm still in recovery, my pain is down 80% of the time outside of flareups when I over exercise during my strength training. I would never send a woman to him, as she will be dismissed. I was in so much pain that I was crying after collapsing at the office during my last visit. The only reason I am giving this location a 2-star is because the women at the front were incredibly nice. This review is leaving out a lot of other smaller issues I had during my short time there. Maybe if you're a man, it'll be worth it, but if you're a woman, go elsewhere. I cannot, in good faith, recommend this office or Dr. Chimes. TL;DR, Dr. Chimes ignored what I said and then gave a sexist course of action due to my gender. New doctor 2 months later discovered the issue and that I needed hip surgery to remove two bone defects and a tear in my labrum. I have now had surgery and am doing well in recovery with a large reduction in pain.

Yup it is a family thing. My grandparents went here, my parents went here, my siblings go here, and…read morenow the next generation is making the rounds. It's not just a tradition, it's the confidence of having a doctor you trust. Superb experienced staff and on-site facilities and with the hospital right across the street (literally) they have extensive resources available to them. A lot has changed over the years, they've moved from a somewhat poky little building on 116th to a multistory mega-plex (across 12th from Overlake Hospital) and the appointment systems is a bit of a maze of "push 1 for... push 2 for.... push 3 for...." but eventually you'll get to speak to real person who will really care what you have to say.

I would not recommend using this facility for your infectious disease or your general practitioner…read moreneeds. Once my doctor retired they wanted to send me to three or four doctors to get the same meds I have been taking since 2007. To make it worse, I tried to get an appointment with an Overlake general practitioner for four months and have been waiting. Not to mention the other doctors they want to book me with for existing and long term meds with no intervening issues. I am convinced that this clinic is operated in a rigid and very non-holistic way, asking you to see a different doctor on different days IF you can get an appointment without waiting months, in order to bill as much different services as possible. I have literally been out of prescribed medication for two months and they refuse to refill even though I have been available to see the new doctor the entire time. The bureaucracy here is like nothing I have dealt with and l've used some of the best practitioners in the country, including in Los Angeles where everything was managed in a seamless holistic way with one provider who was there to deal with the ongoing and normal needs of the patient unless a bee issue arise and you need referral. Overlake is a big business with big bills and a big bureaucracy that will try to send you to four doctors for four medications (if you can get an appointment) even though you're medical history has not changed and your condition is perfectly stable. When I advised them I as having bad side effects from abruptly stopping a medication due to doctor retirement the reply was sorry you have to see try new doctor even though I can't get an appointment for months. Imagine seeking an appointment in February and being told we can see you in May. Stay away. Don't forget these are the corporate vultures who were in a scandal during Covid when they provided scarce Covid vaccines to their rich Bellevue donors. That's how they operate.

Who doesn't like or need a little self love right about now? I have seen Dr. Suh three times now…read moreand have not been disappointed. I'm taking a baby step approach to the procedures, and I discuss with Dr. Suh and agree at which procedure would be best for me. Dr. Suh is a medical doctor and really loves his patients. All of his patients. He is passionate about our health and well being. The whole thing, mind and body. This is the second time I've done a Micro Laser Peel. This time we did a medium depth all over the face, giving a little more "love" to the lines around the mouth. This helps the face to exfoliate and correct textural and pigment issues (dark spots) They said about 5 days for all the peeling to stop. I say allow a full 7 days. So worth it!! Then for the first time at his suggestion and professional opinion, I did Vollure under eye filler to help alleviate loss of volume. There definitely is a difference, but he told me immediately following that I may need a more aggressive approach to my eye area. I also did the Versa peri oral lip filler to help plump out the lip lines. ABSOLUTELY love this and its super natural looking as well. I waited a bit to write my review because I tried the PDO absorbable threads inserted to help stimulate collagen in the upper lip/nasal labial region. This after a month just seems to get better and better! I would be happy to share photo's if anyone is interested. In my opinion, Dr. Suh is like a one stop shop. Don't waste your time with groupons or sketchy practices. My experience before, during and after is stellar. And I will continue to come back (about every 18 months or so) And that works for me!

I am a specialist physician who works with Dr. Goode…read more Dr. Goode is a spectacular physician. As a patient, one of the most challenging aspects in assessing a physician is the assessing their actual medical acumen Dr. Goode has excellent medical acumen, and his attention to detail is second to none. As an example of Dr. Goode's attention to detail- it's fairly common for him to call me after I've seen a patient because he wants to clarify a detail from my consult note. That is very unusual amongst PCPs, but it shows that he reads every note, and cares enough to make sure he understands the details Dr. Goode is also pro-active, trying to address his issues before they get out of control, rather than being merely reactive. As a consequence, patients will have less crises, live longer, and live healthier This is all on top of the fact that his model allows him time to be more flexible with his patients. Overall, Dr. Goode is a gem of a man, and an exceptional physician
