Our experience with Pacific Northwest Eye Associates (PNEA) in Tacoma, WA, has been disappointing…read more My wife and I require cataract surgery. At 76, we take our eye health seriously. Before scheduling our first visit in December 2024, we carefully researched local cataract surgery options and Dr. Niraj Patel. We selected Dr. Patel based on his experience.The process to secure that initial appointment took two months. We believe Dr. Patel is a skilled ophthalmologist and surgeon. That said, we both felt pressured at the first exam with him to opt for the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL), a $4,500 per-eye ($9,000 total) upgrade not covered by Medicare or our secondary insurance. The clinic prominently promotes this option, which likely benefits its revenue. Despite our optometrists advising against a replacement lens other than "standard," we briefly considered it due to the strong recommendation. This raises concerns about whether other elderly patients might feel similarly pressured. Anyone considering this clinic should thoroughly research the LAL option and discuss it with their optometrist or primary care provider before making a decision. After our exams, we met with the "scheduling coordinator" for Dr. Patel's surgeries. We were informed that due to a backlog, surgery dates would be significantly delayed. We accepted this reality and continued the process. However, communication with the clinic was frustratingly difficult. Getting answers required showing up in person and hoping someone could assist us. Scheduling changes were nearly impossible without being pushed months further down the waitlist. Even urgent non-elective medical issues did not seem to influence scheduling flexibility. Patients should be aware of these limitations before committing to the required exam process. This is a business in search of large patient volume and the bottom line. After nearly three months of waiting, we have canceled all future appointments with PNEA. It is too frustrating. Based on our experience, we would not recommend this clinic. Patients should carefully research not only the procedure itself but other local Opthalmology clinic choices, the clinic's billing practices, scheduling and communication policies. We hope others have a smoother experience than we did.

My skin condition continued to worsen after several months; I made an appointment with Dr. North, who also diagnosed my scaly red skin as Atopic Psoriasis and prescribed an over-the-counter crème. After trying steroids, fasting for 6 days, changing my diet (no bread), and trying multiple home remedies, nothing was helping my skin. My condition was worsening and starting to move to my upper body. I made an appointment with Seattle Dermatology https://dermatologyseattle.com/ with Alison Stinnett, PA, who took one look at my legs and diagnosed me with Eczema, a much, much better diagnosis than "the heartbreak of psoriasis." Alison prescribed Halobetasol and told me to return in two weeks, and I would be cured. I laughed to myself and thanked her. Two weeks later, my Eczema had disappeared. I was CURED. Finally, my long journey is over. I am so grateful to have found Alison Stinnett.

I asked if we could bill this time because unfortunately we do not have it today. At first she said we could not see the doctor. I said we made special arrangements to get here and drove a long way. She then said very rudely to "just make sure we pay it!" with a head shake and as if talking down to someone. I said "Why wouldn't we pay it?" The comment hit hard because we are black and have experienced this type of treatment before. we are respected, black, senior people of the community who paid their bills . This type of treatment should not be tolerated. If my 87 year old husband dud not need his treatment i we would not come back. But trust me i am looking for another doctors office after today.
