I had what I can't quite confidently call the worlds strangest doctors appointment with Dr V. It…read morewas my second visit to this pain management practice. I saw the nurse practitioner the first visit, who I did like. She ordered some x-rays. and was very empathetic. I was under the impression that this was a follow up with the doctor, who would proceed further with the course of action I had talked about (at length) in my hour visit the week prior. Boy was I wrong! This doctor entered the room early, while the nurse was still taking my vitals. He introduced his intern/ med student, by insulting her school in an awkward joke. Then he asked what I was "in there for today." He very obviously handn't even looked at my chart. But before I was able to answer fully, he launched into a loud aggravated tirade about how, "Obama ruined his ability to do his job by requiring evidence based medical treatment." He ended the lecture by staring at me and demanding that I agree with him. I tried to redirect by saying I agreed that insurance companies make it very difficult to get procedures and tests approved. Then after a short couple sentences related to the x-rays, he asked me "so where do you think your neuropathy comes from." I said, "I think it's a result of my lupus." He belly laughs," Oh you're one of the lucky whites with an autoimmune disorder." aren't you lucky! Then he started on a history lesson about the black plague in Europe, which explained why "Whites get auto immune illnesses more than THE Blacks." and How it actually comes from our superiority and adaptability through natural selection and the plague. Again he stars at me like some maniacal college professor and asks, "how did the plague travel from the east to the west? (pause) Go on! take a guess! try!" I said, "trade routs." "YES! good job!" then another few minutes of The blacks the whites and the asians.... a little cursing. Then he says," and why did whites travel so much? because we're more curious than the blacks. and because of this we're more prone to addiction. especially heroin. (looking me dead in the eye) Don't ever try heroin. Me, "ok." At this point I wanted to ask, "BUT are you on it now? Maybe they need to Pee test you." (They are very big on pee testing everyone.) He asks his intern to go see if they can find the MRI of my back. They couldn't find it. So it's another round about Obama and how "in the good old days he could just give me a shot in my back based on where the pain is in relation to his nerve chart, but now we need EVIDENCE based medicine. so there's nothing he can do today. But they'll try again to get the MRI, or maybe order a new one." and maybe they'll focus on my knee pain because that's easier, but we'll need an x-ray for that. and.... that's it. That's what my $40 copay and the hour drive to olympia got me today. I left just gobsmacked - what just happened? I'm still in disbelief. And he talked sooo fast! It was absolutely insane.

I took my wife there today and Dr Vogelgesang walked into the room and the first words out of his…read moremouth were comments about the scar on my wife's chest - from a wound vac from her 3-way bypass surgery 5 years ago. The conversation went south from there. He was rude disrespectful and no other way to put it he was a complete A__ Hole! We were both in shock as to how rude this clown was. When he heard that my wife did not like opioids, he then asked what she expected him to do for her? We have never been to a pain management center and did not know what to expect. It appears this Quack is only interested in pushing narcotics. My wife and I were in shock from the lack of professionalism from Dr Vogelgesang. Had the appointment lasted any longer this A__Hole would have been picking himself off the ground.

I have been a patient at Providence St. Peter Outpatient Orthopedic and Hand Therapy since Aug…read more2023. I was referred by my primary care doctor for relief from shoulder pain. After two months of treatment, my therapist suggested I see an orthopedist, which I did. As a result, I was given X-rays and an MRI which revealed I had a torn rotator cuff, SLAP tear, bone spurs and severe arthritis. I tried non-surgical treatment by continuing PT and an injection, but the pain persisted, so it was recommended that my shoulder be surgically repaired. I also had a frozen shoulder and my surgeon cautioned me that he would not be able to operate if the shoulder was still frozen. My therapist worked with me for two more months in an attempt to "thaw" my frozen shoulder. I went in for surgery in Jan 2024, and the surgeon was able to manipulate my shoulder and complete the surgery. The damage to my shoulder was worse than anticipated, but the surgeon was able to complete repairs. Two weeks post-surgery, I went back to PT to rehabilitate my shoulder. I am still in PT and likely will for a few more months, as I regain my mobility & strength. I have worked with several of the Physical Therapists and a PT Assistant, including Christy, Jordan, Nancy, Mark, and Jessica. The care I've received has been excellent - it is painful, but I am getting better! Shoulder surgery is a long, difficult recovery and I was told to expect it to take 6-9 months to be mostly pain-free, and a full year to restore my strength, which was complicated by a detached biceps tendon that also requires repair. Slowly but surely I'm making progress. I definitely recommend Providence St. Peter Outpatient Pediatric Therapies if you need to rehab a shoulder, knee, hand, etc.

Don't go here unless you want to go broke!!!…read more The type of care is excellent - that's not the issue. It's the cost. This location bills as hospital outpatient (hence the name) and they don't tell you that! Physical therapy is billed as a hospital visit. That means instead of getting a $25 copay you get $1000+ bill! I had a single visit billed for $1200 when my insurance says I only owe $25. What they're doing is legal but highly immoral. If you want to go to providence, go to the tumwater facility. Same organization but I hear they bill correctly.

How about her losing sick hours to take time of her work for nothing. The inconsideration of some people is just astounding. But having something about "god" tattooed on her arm.

The whole crew is super friendly and welcoming. The equipment is top notch, well kept and the staff is extremely knowledgeable about how to use it to your benefit, whatever your goal may be. I worked specifically with Steve and Tracy during my work Conditioning phase. They were always very careful to push me, but to also listen to me in regards to pain and discomfort levels. I worked with Vince and Parker for work hardening, and they really helped me pinpoint some weaknesses I had. They helped me build a lot of strength and muscle to support my bad shoulder. Mr. Linnenkohl, the owner, went above and beyond, sharing helpful dieting tips that encouraged me use my exercise time to lose 15 pounds. I would highly recommend Olympia Physical Therapy to anyone, whether you're looking for personalized training for your next marathon or Spartan race, or if you're looking for rehab to get you back to work in good shape, this is the best place with the best people!

I am a patient with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and came to her with a left quad tendon tear (where the tendon had actually pulled away from the muscle), bilateral elbow tendinopathy, and a right shoulder supraspinatus incomplete tear. I had already been through prolotherapy and PRP injections -- the supposed gold standard for EDS -- and was still not healing. Dr. McDougall didn't give up on me or accept the plateau as the answer. She researched paired regenerative therapy and brought a peer-reviewed study to our appointment showing statistically significant success rates for shockwave combined with PRP in EDS patients. We built a treatment plan together, and she administered five of my six shockwave sessions herself. The results were confirmed by ultrasound: the tendon reattached to the muscle at two separate points. My PRP specialist was dumbfounded. By the end of my treatment, I had full quad function, meaningfully reduced elbow pain, and I returned to barre classes -- pain-free -- for the first time since my injuries. What makes Dr. McDougall exceptional isn't just her clinical skill. It's that she treats you like a whole person, stays current on research, and refuses to let a stalled treatment plan be the end of the story. She works across multiple locations, and I can say with certainty: wherever she is, she is worth the drive.
