I was referred by Dr. Jason Attaman to Dr. Pontus Oberg for an EMG. From the front desk to the…read moreexamining room and back, it was an excellent experience. My injury has made me crazy anxious and unacceptably disorganized, but all the folks there treated me with nothing but respect and kindness. Dr. Oberg took his time with the test, ensuring I was comfortable and that results were accurate. I walked out of there with a complete understanding of the outcome and felt very happy to have had such a good experience! I have sent his contact info to my Family Practitioner, as he referred me to another Doc for my first EMG and let's just say - her review is nothing like this one :) YAY for well rounded Doctors! They are scarce these days!!

Advocate for imaging if your pain persists.

This is an older facility that UW Medicine acquired at some point and looks outdated both outside…read moreand inside. It is a long walk from the main entrance to the elevators (not great if you can't walk!) And the foot and ankle clinic oddly didn't have seats in their waiting room conducive to those with foot/ankle injuries. On my first visit I had to wait for the receptionist to check in two other people while I balanced on crutches in pain. When I sat down to await being seen there was nowhere to prop up my injured leg. I thought this was really odd. They could really use some tall chairs like the Sports Medicine Clinic at Husky Stadium has if they don't have other ways to elevate injuries. When I checked in I was in a lot of pain and had to ask for a wheelchair. I was surprised they didn't offer one when they saw me hobbling around in pain. I can't be the first person to come in like this - it is a foot and ankle specialty clinic! Once I was brought back to the exam room the visit went very smoothly. The team works well together and the doctor I saw was very thorough and professional. I felt better after getting to ask all of my questions and seeing additional x-rays and CT scans. They were able to schedule my surgery quickly and their surgery team was very good. On the day of the surgery I was a little anxious but the surgeon and anesthesiologists working on my case were very calming and pre-surgery was pleasant and not anxiety producing. The nurse had trouble locating my vein to insert the IV and pricked me twice before she had to leave for lunch break. Luckily the female anesthesiologist offered to do it and I barely felt anyhing that time. She was quick and so friendly I was immediately at ease. The next thing I knew I was waking up. I was surprised at how long it took me to regain consciousness and awoke to an impatient anesthesiologist who was waiting on me to wake up so he could get to a surgery he was holding up at the hospital down the road because of me. I understand why he would be annoyed, but he probably shouldn't have let his annoyance hinder our interaction. I definitely did not feel comfortable letting him know I was experiencing pain at the surgery site as he stabbed me to insert the saphenous block in place and then removed it with such haste that blood pooled out all around the site. When I looked down half an hour later I was confused as to why I was bleeding. Weeks after surgery I still had a bruise at the site where the doc roughly inserted the saphenous block and yanked the block out, as well as a hard hematoma or whatever that is under the skin that was caused by that traumatic experience. I removed the palpiteal block as instructed a few days after surgery and there is no such bruise/pain/hard formation under the skin. Hopefully in the future they will be more careful post-surgery when inserting and removing additional blocks! I will say the nurses and other staff at this outpatient center were incredible. They were so patient and kind. They certainly went above and beyond the call of duty to take care of me and I am grateful for them.

I have been a member of Group Health--now Kaiser Permanente--since 1957. Over those many years I…read morehave had the privilege of working with several outstanding primary care physicians, and the care I've received has consistently been excellent. When my longtime PCP left Kaiser several months ago, I wondered whether I would be able to find another doctor with the same level of dedication and mutual respect that I value in a physician-patient relationship. Today I met Dr. Martin Levine and came away very impressed. He is an exceptional listener and was fully present during our visit. His questions about my medical history and current health were thoughtful and specific rather than routine or generic. What impressed me most was the thoughtfulness of his clinical judgment--his questions clearly reflected a careful effort to understand the full picture of my health. His manner was relaxed, professional, and genuinely caring, and I left the appointment feeling confident that my health is in very capable hands. I feel fortunate to have found Dr. Levine and am very pleased to call him my primary care physician.

Since I fractured the right kneecap two years ago in a previous fall, I wanted to get X-rays at Northgate. The appointing person told me that KP had recently banned walk-in X-rays and now required one have an in-person appointment with a doc to see if the patient is worthy of getting X-rays. The new rule is that walk-ins are banned from getting X-rays. A patient has to make an appointment to see a doctor BEFORE X-rays. This makes no sense at all. In the past, my doctor would order X-rays and meet with me later to discuss the results. This is totally backwards. KP also recently banned patients from being able to reply to a doctor's message on My Chart. KP keeps coming up with new ways to keep patients away from practioners, in order to increase revenue flowing to its obscenely-overpaid KP CEO, Gregory Adams. I like my doctors a lot but I don't like spending hours per week fighting with the mindless KP bureaucracy to get care. It's exhausting, particularly whe one is 75 and dealing with multiple health issues.
