    After a phone conversation with the offices of this practice regarding the unnecessary blood test…read more Which was 2 test last year (after stateing would be going to Medicare in 4 months only needing 4 months of refile approval) was denied and then promptly requiring7 test this time and a mandatory office visit for a prescription refile. Wow that's putting it to us. As we noted the cost would be more than the prior times at 700.00. Did our own blood test thru healthonelabs.com 99.00 When asked why a in person visit was needed as the blood work would be done. It was said quality service. I mentioned more like you want the money, going there in person was not necessary, but would be in order to collect the fees. I was told you can always go to SEAMAR. As it was cheaper and they would do refiled without a visit. Well that was strange reply. As I'm sure if I had never been there they would in fact not do so. What she was implying was that they have lower standards. Which was no even close to what not questions was about. She was just not going to admit that a policy of there's was in fact a way of making money. And if you cant a afford it then your welcome to go else where. Susan's words. This place is about there way or high way. We wont be using them when it is time to assign a practinure to new Medicare policy. There are other doctors that are part of Medicare supplement programs in anacortes that are not part of anacortes family practice.

    I grew up going to Anacortes Family Medicine. I saw Dr. Stalsbroten, who is now retired. In more…read morerecent years, I have seen Tari Roche. Both doctors are excellent. Inside Anacortes Family Medicine, the staff is very nice and helpful. The front desk helps with anything you need. The nurses are great, and the doctors tend to run mostly on time. I've rarely had to wait too long - there are exceptions, but emergencies do come up. The clinic is a part of Island Hospital, and they are only a few blocks away from the Island Hospital ER. This is good because sometimes situations call for an ER visit, and the doctors have referred me down there on a handful of occasions throughout my life. Since they are affiliated with Island Hospital, they have good access to specialists for situations calling for one, as well as special testing done in a lab. They use the lab at Island Hospital. There is not one inside the clinic. There is an urgent care facility housed in the same building as Anacortes Family Medicine, and if Anacortes Family Medicine cannot fit you in to see a doctor, the urgent care can - there just might be a bit of a wait. This is very convenient. I highly recommend Anacortes Family Medicine!

    I wouldn't give this place a star but it forces you to…read more I've been on hold every day I call for 2 hours and they still don't answer. How am I supposed to to schedule anything when no one answers. I have questions. This place just pisses me off everytime . I HATE it . Wasting my time . Literally can't get anything scheduled and it just shows how much they don't care about you.

    I made an appointment for Jan 2026 and it was cancelled by them and rescheduled for APRIL. So I…read morewent to my April appointment which was at 3:00 and wasn't seen until after 3:30 (which I was okay with), but I spent a good portion of the time with the doctor answering questions that they should already have had the answers to. Then we addressed my blood work. The provider said she needed to leave the room to do a calculation, leaving me with the impression that she was coming back into the room, as I had a couple of other things that needed to be addressed. NOPE, the nurse came in and said "okay, we'll see you next year." I said I still had things I needed to talk about, but apparently the provider moved on to her next patient. I didn't even get to spend 20 minutes with the provider. I was then told I would have to finish the appointment at another visit and they couldn't get me in until June...which means another copay. They also said they would send a "note" to my provider about my concerns and somebody would call me back. Now it's 4 days later and no call. I felt like I got the shaft, and was extremely upset with their lack of caring.
