But the staff aren't very friendly, often sound annoyed on the phone, and make comments to each other like, "Wow, must be nice not to have a copay." Um, it's a PPO, I'll get a bill. When I have to call in to ask for fairly basic prescriptions women sometimes need and know when they need, the women in reception seem to feel it's their job to put me through my paces with exasperated exhalations, refusing to take information on which pharmacy I'd prefer prior to the Dr or RN calling, etc. And I don't get a call back letting me know it's been called in. And don't even get me started on one of his practice partners who recently made me come in for an exam ($), verbally acknowledged I had zero symptoms of STD/STI, but insisted on a panel before treating me (he was out). Not only did I pay for those, but the lab tech who drew my blood was demonstratively embarrassed for upon reading the lab sheet. The change in her expression and demeanor was priceless. That was Dr. Karmali, who has some excellent reviews on here, but who I found to be another female Dr. who wasn't listened and was over-zealous in part due to being judgmental. BUT my Dr here is rad, one of the doctors I've gotten on-call over the weekend was rad and recommended. It's not a matter of doing what I want, it's a matter of being straight-forward and listening.

I was VERY hesitant to look for another doctor after my last experience at Virginia Mason…read more(p.s.--don't go there if you don't like feeling like a sardine) and thus a little wary visiting the Polyclinic Downtown. I was worried that because they are so big and have so many patients that it would just be a repeat of last year's physical. 9:00 AM on a Wednesday I was checked in, processed, weighed, measured, and set for Dr. Transue to pop in not 3 minutes after I'd sat my butt down in a comfy chair they had in the exam room for me. I had about 5+ health questions for her, of which she answered EVERY ONE. Before we did anything else. And took her time with it. Not only that, but every time I mentioned something that previous doctors had nothing to say about, she immediately knew what I was talking about and was able to diagnose all of my ailments. She clearly had the know-how when it came to every question I had and it seemed like she was really listening to me. Just a few days after my appointment, my nose piercing got infected and I knew I needed medication but didn't want to go all the way back to the doctor. So I emailed Dr. Transue about it--and within ONE DAY she emailed me back and had sent in a prescription to my pharmacy. Conclusively, Dr. Emily Transue is the best medical experience that I've had to date in Seattle. A great doctor is a very important thing, and I've found mine!

I've been a patient of Dr. Transue's for going on 3 years now. My move to her was based on a…read moreco-worker's experience and the fact that I needed a new general ASAP. I have never felt so listened to, respected and thoroughly taken care of by another Dr. I have some questions that are a bit odd, she answers them honestly and straight forward. Some times I get a little emotional when I'm going through stuff and she just so happens to ask me about 'stuff' and she hands me the Kleenex box and listens and offers suggestions. On line is a great experience too, I had surgery with a completely different Dr. and a completely different facility but when I couldn't get a hold of them for advice and medication it was Dr. Transue that came to my rescue. When you're telling her things she is CONSTANTLY typing away in your record, at first I was a little concerned that she wasn't listening but the next visit 9ish months later she asked me follow up questions to things I had expressed concern about before. That sealed the deal.

His staff has always been courteous and kind to me and I do not have an issue. Labcorp is right there, but with my finicky veins, the lab tech never gets it on the first try, once it took her 4.

I tried to find as many…read morereviews on local doctors as I could, but being that this is a pretty small town there isn't much out there. Sometimes it seems the people of Kitsap county haven't even heard of Yelp yet. Quimby had the best reviews that I could find through other sources but the reviews for her staff were nothing short of ghastly. My first attempt at making an appointment with her didn't go very well. The phone conversation with the receptionist was less than productive and it seemed the soonest I could get in would be months away. I decided to look around & met with another doctor with great reviews but he seemed a bit cold. I tried again to set up an appointment with Quimby through the dreaded staff and was much more successful the second time around, only waiting a month or so to get in. Now I've only met with Doc Quimby once, as a 'meet & greet' and to discuss a couple little issues & future planning, but I INSTANTLY liked her. I felt comfortable and it was informal, relaxed, and just all around a very productive appointment. She just seemed awesome. And I have nothing bad to say about the staff either. Once I checked in my wait was only about 15 minutes max, and they were very friendly and nothing like the ghastly reviews. They mailed me all the history paperwork I needed to fill out beforehand and thanked me graciously for handing it in filled out when I arrived. I hope to update this review to a full 5 stars after a few more visits, but I figured after just 1 time I shouldn't set the bar too high. It looks as though I'm the first person to write a review for Quimby on here too, hopefully this will prompt more people to do the same for her and other local doctors. It's hard moving to a new town and having to find all new doctors w/no friends or family to turn to for references. But so far I'm very excited and look forward to seeing Quimby for many years to come!

HOWEVER her front staff is the WORST I HAVE EVER DELT WITH IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. These people are just plain rude and don't care about doing their job right. I was told at one appointment that I owed money around 300$! I was then told I NEED to pay or cannot be seen again.... Without an explanation of what It was for. I insisted on asking what it was for and after 15 minutes of her asking around she told me it was a mistake. Ok. Fine everyone makes mistakes. Sure. Next appointment I get told the same thing..by the same person. When I told her it was a mistake she got very annoyed with me and said "probably not, you have to pay it". EXCUSE ME? Then after 20 mins she said it wasn't supposed to be there. Thanks. Made sure she took it off for next time. Also they are HORRIBLE on the phone. If you want to feel stupid for not knowing where your paperwork is in their office give them a call! Want to try and get a form filled out for insurance? Have it get lost twice and battle with them to just down load it online! Feel horrible after hours? Have an on call nurse give you an attitude & tell you "I don't know" repeatedly! I could go on about all the incidents in the last 11 months but you get the point. Its a shame Quimby is such a great doctor that landed with such horrible staff. I battled with the staff more than I got to spend time with quimby for that reason I will not be returning.
