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.

I took a bad fall at a bus stop when I tripped on a Lime bike that was laid out flat on the…read moresidewalk. I bruised and scraped my right knee, elbow and hand badly. 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.

Appalling service on two separate occasions…read more 1) I couldn't find the parking area in the garage, and when I called, I couldn't get through to a human. I ended up parking a block away on the street! 2) I had shingles, and getting my medicine in a timely manner was crucial. Again, I couldn't get through to a human. I tried to set up a video appointment, but there were too many hoops, so I had to pay extra money I don't have to go to another doctor. This is not a very humane way to treat patients. Extremely frustrating experience. I do not recommend UW Physicians.

About 30 years ago I started my medical journey at the UW Medicine at Northgate, Northgate is my…read morehome neighborhood in Seattle. My pediatrician was Dr. Hyde, then when my family moved north to Shoreline a couple years later we transferred to the UW Medicine there. The current UW Neighborhood Northgate Clinic is still located at Northgate, however not in the same building as it once was. Currently, it serves as my primary care provider as part of my Medicaid (Amerigroup plan) health insurance with Dr. Roesel as my primary physician. While parking at the current Northgate location is abundant and medical services are varied, it does not have all of the offerings of my previous primary care provider, ICHS Shoreline. Since this clinic is for medical, my current medical pursuits are now separated into medical (here), dental (elsewhere), and optical (different elsewhere).

I feel obligated to give Dr. Ball a very good rating because 1) She genuinely deserves it; and 2)…read morethe only other Yelp review for Dr. Ball inexplicably gave her a 1-star review. This other "G. S." reviewer has multiple 1-star yelp reviews with the exact same complaints about health care providers supposedly lacking "compassion or feeling". Nothing could be further from the truth with Dr. Ball. In reality, Dr. Ball genuinely cared and wanted to listen to and help with any questions or concerns I had about my health. She was really down to earth and knowledgable. Very easy to talk to. Highly recommended.

I'd recommend him 100% unless you are going to see him based on my review and you're going to start taking my favorite appointment slots that I use for my annual physicals?!

There seems to be a communications barrier with the front desk and I was made to be the problem with not understanding the medical process.

After an hour of back and forth nothing happened. I'm not recommending this business.

Glad my boyfriend was there to speak up and help the situation. Well within the months I get promoted causing me to change my medical coverage so I fill my RX at my new pharmacy. My pharmacists recommends a higher dosage and tries to contact the offices. So I get a call (x6) and a email stating that I cannot unless I see her again. Why would I want to do that?!?! I have never had a good expierence with a doctor. So I say okay and let my pharmasist know. I continue to get a call at 9am this morning I answer the call loaded with attitude saying to stop sending 'requests' for rx refills. I do not need refills I still have refills. This was only notices to let them know that I am refilling. Isn't it law? She continues to give me attitude. I tell her my expierience with the doctor and that I have already talked to her. I then tell her she is very unprofessional and I don't appreciate the disrespect. She tells me that she is not rude. I say, "Oh no??? Review this recording with your boss and you tell me then.." She tries to not give attitude but i can hear the eye rolls. I understand you are mad that I am no longer seeing Group Health and this is why your mad. But really? If any of my employees ever acted like that I would not tolerate it. I am baffled to say the least.
