Does Bellingham CTC prohibit their patients from using marijuana?

No, they absolutely do not take issue with using Marijuana in any of its myriad forms. And it's not like they punish you even if your UA's are positive for everything they are able to test - Once the results are back a counselor will spend 5-15…

So far, I've had surprisingly good experiences. The front desk staff have been kind and helpful…read more The NP I see for my primary care has really gone to bat for me regarding my management of blood thinners and insurance issues with my tirzepatide. She's also been helpful with referrals to other providers, like cardiology, imaging, and sleep. And she doesn't just refer me, but she's been in touch with other providers who are on or have been on my care team. Stephanie Shaw, ARNP I haven't been as impressed with the behavioral health side. Are they just used to seeing people who are looking to get high on Aderall ?? But we'll see what I think if I actually get to see someone regularly...

After complaining of back and hip pain for 6 years, Lisa Montgomery finally ordered a lower lumbar…read moreMRI in 2022. The problem? She didn't tell me. It was ultimately approved, and I still wasn't told; not by Lisa or Mt. Baker Imaging. It wasn't until many months later that the NEXT providor caught it. The pain during this time increased until I could barely walk. They appear to care, but much falls through the cracks. Patients would be best advise to check their providers work for thoroughness and accuracy. Especially if you have a large patient file. They don't review the entire file, maybe the first few pages at best. They've cared for me since 2016, their providers last anywhere from 12-16 months. The assistant who worked with one of my many providers told me they are only there for the experience. I believe it.

I visited Unity Care NW in Bellingham on 6/5/26 at 3:00pm. Ripley at the front desk was super…read morehelpful and reassuring--I was very nervous to receive care here as I have had struggles with many transphobic and ableist providers previously, especially when I lived in Missouri. He worked quickly while keeping me informed of the whole check in process. I greatly appreciated his kind demeanor and overall professionalism, especially in the face of a patient with medical trauma such as myself. Ripley is the only reason I'm giving two stars instead of 1 (and honestly, zero if I could). The medical assistant (can't recall her name) was also fairly kind, although she seemed a bit confused by the number of medications I was taking, which was a bit frustrating. Unfortunately, my experience quickly took a turn from mildly frustrating to a complete disaster when I saw NP Lori Sharrow. She refused to fill out my disability parking accommodation form. stating that I needed to "come up with a better reason" than my POTS and fibromyalgia to "qualify". She stated that pots and fibro are not eligible for a disabled parking permit, which is blatantly false, by the guidelines on the form provided by the state, would qualify me for a parking accommodation--the rule on the form is being unable to walk 200ft *without* a mobility device (I use a rollator or a cane depending on the day) or needing to rest (which is also something I have to do). It felt like she thought I was faking needing a mobility aid (even as I was actively using my cane to walk around and stand up). When I later checked my after visit care notes, unfortunately this fear was proven true--she noted in my chart that I "brought a four pronged cane but does not use it and lifts it when walking", which is untrue. I use my cane when walking for stability and to help prevent falling (which I have a documented history of) as well as to help me in getting up from a seated position more easily. Typically for this, I use a rollator, which works better for me and helps with my fatigue more, but unfortunately right before the appointment I flew out of town and the airline broke my rollator. I was not asked any questions at all about my cane or why I use it, nor was I told that I was using it improperly (if I was, which I don't believe is true). She also was extremely ableist in other ways--stating that my autism was "clearly high functioning" because I could "walk, talk, and think by myself". Autistic people often can do those things without assistance, and while I do have lower support needs than some other autistic people, saying that "most" autistic people can't think by themselves is deeply insulting and offensive. Finally, without prompting, she stated that my previous diagnosis of high blood pressure (it's currently controlled by medication--in fact it was relatively low at the time of the visit, measuring at 110/68) must be due to me being overweight. As someone who has previously struggled with a restrictive eating disorder and body image, hearing comments and assumptions regarding my weight was frustrating. Even more frustrating was her repeated insistence that my high BP was due to my weight despite me informing her that I've had high BP most of my life--even when I was at a lower weight (including when I was very underweight at 15 years old, due to the aforementioned eating disorder and also due to being put on stimulants at a young age). Overall, her bedside manner was just extremely poor and I felt criticized and judged for having health issues, despite them not being something I chose for myself or had a way of preventing. I ended up reporting Lori to HELMS. I encourage patients who have interactions such as mine to file a complaint with them--in my experience with healthcare professionals, consulting their in house patient advocacy team does very little good if any, but the licensing boards make them pay attention. They can't keep treating all disabled people/people with chronic health issues like we're disposable. We're human beings too.

I was very disappointed with the treatment my son received. The dentist, Dr. Duart was rough with…read morehis injured tooth even after he said it was painful. No apology was offered, and our concerns were not taken seriously. We felt pressured toward unnecessary procedures rather than addressing the one tooth causing pain. Every child deserves compassionate and respectful care, and unfortunately that was not our experience.
