U will have to Wait wait wait wait and wait to see someone with Appointment…read more I was scheduled to see a doctor at 3:00 PM AND saw him at 3:45. After the final decision from the doctor, the Nurse made me wait 50 Minutes to give me the documents in a Envelope. Worst kind of treatment. I Hope to never see them again.

If you're looking for personable staff, attention to detail and reasonable fill time, look no…read morefurther. Pharmacist Dan Scott is especially great. Being old-ish ;) I forgot to call in my Rx but had sent my hubby in to get it on his way home. Luckily, it had refills and Dan had it filled in under 10 min. (Pretty much unheard of with the big name pharmacies due to high volume sales). As a former Pharm Tech, requesting 24hrs for a refill is completely reasonable (even with refills available) and courteous (they're not flippin' burgers back there! ;) We switched from Wallyworld to get hometown, personable, efficient service and Elfers really delivers with quality, accurate, prescriptions fills.

We moved to the Tri-Cities almost a year ago and needed to find new general practitioner. My…read morehusband was already established with this office, so I scheduled appointments for myself and two daughters. I will start by saying I do believe that the care given by the doctors is excellent. The front office staff is always polite, professional, and welcoming! The doctors are good listeners and thorough! They had me scheduled for my annual exams quickly which was great! The downside is, as a new patient, it took me three months to be able to see the doctor for a "establishing care" appointment. This was not a thing in the state I moved from. So it took two-three months for me to get an appointment, then they had to reschedule me twice, once because they had scheduled too many establishing a care appointments for that day with that doctor and then once again because their building had been vandalized. Unfortunately, that pushed my appointment out another two months so now I've waited over five months to see a doctor to establish care. I finally get to my appointment date and have received a letter that my new doctor is now leaving the practice and I'll have to set up an establishing care appointment with a new doctor which took...another 2 months! So this is intended to be a cautionary tale if you are trying to establish care, as soon as you get to the area or as soon as you realize it... Start calling immediately to find a doctor because these wait times are definitely not something I was used to!

I will never go back here. Dr Patel was my dr then he suddenly left with no explanation. Prior to…read morethis I had health issues that required several blood tests. Some of these were apparently just lost/forgotten about and I didn't find that out until I finally called to ask about it. He never called to discuss my results so I had to just sit there and wonder. Fast forward a few months I tried to make an appointment because I have an issue that needs to be checked out. They are refusing to see me even though it wasn't my fault dr Patel quit/got fired. They're refusing to see "any new patients even if they had established care prior to this". How absurd. Good riddance.

You know it's been years since I had a beautiful daughter delivered at 3:39 am at Kadlec, she's a…read morehealthy 2 year old that has transformed myself from the selfish person to the most loving father that I could be for her. Dr Ortolano two years prior was short staffed which resulted in long wait times for pregnant mothers. Fast forward two years, he is staffed really well with individuals that really love their job. It gives you that gives you a peace of mind. He currently delivers for Trios HealthCare in Kennewick. I would recommend this OB for the Tri-Cities since he displays professionalism that should be expected working with future generations of offsprings!

Dr. Ortolano is absolutely fantastic. He is very compassionate and takes the time to explain the…read morepros and cons of different procedures. He has come in on the weekends when I needed him to and works very long hours to make sure his patients are taken care of. Be warned, you will wait quite a while to see him. However, its not because he's goofing off. He is frequently running back and forth from the hospital to deliver babies and then back to his office to see patients. I am very impressed with his professionalism and empathy, which I did not find when I went to Associated Physicians for Women (now Kadlec Clinic). The only reason I don't mark 5 stars is because of his receptionist. When checking in, she asked for a payment on my balance. That would have been fine, except that she started explaining what I had done and what the individual charges were. I am very aware of what I have had done, but I didn't need the entire lobby to hear the procedures that I had done, thanks.
