Dr. Knapp is a god-send! I have been miserable the last 5-6 years. I couldn't breathe, was coughing…read moreconstantly, couldn't lose my baby weight because I'd go to the gym and be wheezing and have to stop. Probably worst of all were the constant sinus infections, 5-8 infections each year. I was always on antibiotics--the last infection took me through four different antibiotics and none would help. I was referred to Dr. Knapp's office a couple months ago, and he went through my CT scans, did an exam, and determined the root cause of my problems: small cavities, infected tissue that no medication would help, deviated septum, and just very small airways. He gave me lots of options, and also mentioned surgery. I have heard how awful sinus surgery is, but he told me that while he can't guarantee it to cure 100% of my ailments, that it would make my life significantly better. So, I went in a month ago and had turbinate reduction (he took an inch off from one cavity!), removal of the infected tissue and opening of my passageways, as well as a septoplasty. A month after the surgery now, I feel like my entire life has changed. I haven't coughed once! I used to stay up all night coughing, every night. The recovery has had some pretty disgusting parts, but I can't tell you how amazing it is to be able to breath. I only had dissolvable packing, which I heard is the worst part of the recovery, and no bruising at all. He's a miracle worker, and his staff is fantastic: his nurse was always available to me, (he even called me twice on the phone, which I have never heard of a doctor doing before), and his billing staff worked diligently to get my stubborn insurance to cover the cost. Another reassuring point is that I see an amazing doctor for my asthma and allergy issues, and he and Dr. Knapp told me the same things about treatment, ailments, recovery, without ever even talking to each other. I was very impressed that these doctors were on the same page. :) He's amazing!

I was referrred by my primary to this so called ENT on First Hill. First, on a referral it states…read morewhat the problem is that you are being referred for. So, why is it that I had to be called three different times after each appointment was made and scheduled that they call and cancel it? Because each time they had the wrong doctor who I was supposed to see for my stated probelm on the referral regarding my issue? Yes, that right! They don't say, "three's a charm for nothing!" So, after the third appointment time I was finally seen. But the managers in the First Hill ENT, Kiana, who I was in contact with had spoken to me as she was not pleased with how her department was running in regards to all my issues as a new patient. But, it gets better! As, I even spoke to Kiana (one of the clinic mgrs) in the clinic after I had my appt moved up without anyone calling me the same day as my scheduled appointment. She (Kiana) again said she was going to find out what happened. So I waited and waited and ended up calling her back regarding this next issue. I spoke to her and she said she would call me back. So why it is after a week she still has not gotten back to me and I am reaching out to her again? It is no wonder this ENT clinic as a very lower rating. I do NOT recommend going there at all! Why? They do not know how to schedule you with the right provider, they change your appointment time without calling to inform you, and the they lie to their patients. Do not go there unless you are ready to deal with conflict!

I was referred here for a consultation about an ear tube removal. Despite seeing negative reviews…read moreonline, I made an appointment. I was prescribed antibiotics even though I was told my ears looked healthy. Doctor instructed me to take antibiotics for 7 days then as needed, this information was given to me physically on a paper as I left and documented in my clinical notes online. I went home, applied drops (which set me back $100 on top of visit fees) as recommended and suddenly had major ear pain. Contacted doctor next day who claimed to never have said to take them when documentation proved otherwise. When I sent proof they stopped responding. They are negligent and ended up causing an issue when I didn't have one in the first place. Do not waste your time, money or jeopardize your health here.

She's never on time, yeah, I blame myself for continuing seeing her after the first few visits. Here's the most recent experience - I made a back to back appointment to get my cochlear implant headwrap done by her before an MRI scan. The MRI appointment was supposed to happen at 3 pm so I booked an appointment with her for 1:30 pm thinking that would be enough time. She had me wait for an hour an a half and ended up seeing me at 3 pm!! Well, I can't explain how frustrated I was considering how hard it was to schedule an MRI appointment for people with a cochlear implant. And after she stepped into the room, all she's done was talking about signing a waver that releases the her liability, blah blah for 10 minutes, until I stopped her. She never talked about possible complications even after I asked about it, she just said, well there could be any complications which I don't even know about.. Anyway, steer clear of this doctor.

Looking back at many surgeries and some daunting challenges, I remain deeply appreciative that our paths crossed as they did. He brought his personal expectation for excellence to those who worked with and around him, in the office and the hospital, and it made a real difference. I only wish every clinical association I've had or will have could be as excellent as the care I received from John Burgoyne. He made my life better, even when the medical realities were hard to bear. FIVE STARS. Absolutely. And my thanks.

The doctor himself, well, he may be a little arrogant, maybe just confident, but I like that in a surgeon. I'm not big on bedside manner and I'm not looking to make friends; I'm looking for an exceptional surgeon. I'm no stranger to surgeries and this was my second time around for sinus surgery and deviated septum. He took a couple extra steps another surgeon didn't take 14 years ago during the first time around. So far the results are spectacular and I would certainly recommend Dr. Burgoyne. The anesthesiologist during the surgery was also very good but I can't remember his name.

I visited her…read moretowards the end of last year as a new patient and she spent about 30 minutes getting to know me before checking everything that I asked her to. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed every step of the way, talking me through everything. Dr. Karmali is extremely kind, attentive, gentle, humble, and calming. She went to UW Med School, so extra points for that! Another cool thing is that Swedish uses MyChart, an online personal health record system where you can see your medical history, appointments, messages from your doctor, etc. Strangely, when I called to make an appointment, the receptionist said that Dr. Karmali did not have any openings until January 2015. However, when I went online to MyChart, I saw multiple openings between now and the end of the year. I ended up making an online appointment with Dr. Karmali for early December and cancelling my phone-made appointment with another doctor at Swedish. I am so excited to go see Dr. Karmali again soon!

After my motorcycle accident in 2009 Dr. Karmali checked up on me and worked with my medical records from Harborview to continue with my pain management care. To this day she still works closely with me on this care and has been very good at keeping an eye out for my health and well being and continues to work with my pain management doctor at Harborview. Dr. Karmali set me up with MyChart (available to all Swedish patients) when I moved back to WA and through that I am able to discuss issues with her without having to make an appointment to go into the clinic (I'm already there enough as it is!) and she is quick to get back to me usually same day but definitely within 24 hours. She even responds on her days off and to me, that is complete dedication and proves just how much she cares about her patients. I have recommended her to a couple of friends and they love her as well. Dr. Karmali is very knowledgeable and caring. If she is unsure of something she will investigate the issue to ensure that you get the best possible care. She is just an amazing doctor and an even more amazing person.
