She really listens to her patients and trusts their instincts with their own bodies. She said something like, "you have been living with your body your whole life, you know it better than I do, tell me what works and we will go from there." It feels so good to be heard. She goes above and beyond, truly, from finding the cheapest place to get prescriptions for her patients to acting as therapist and listening to your grievances about life. I never feel rushed or silly or dramatic like so many other offices make people feel. Her office hours are convenient and I am always able to get an appointment asap. No more booking check ups months in advance!!! Thank you Dr. Johnson.

Dr. Harrington has already helped me significantly improve my health despite taking over as my…read moreprimary care physician only a few months ago. He is kind, compassionate, caring, patient, and attentive. In sharp contrast to my experiences with my previous physician at one of the big clinics in Seattle, I never feel rushed when I see Dr. Harrington. For the first time in decades, I feel like I have a true partner who is committed to improving my health outcomes. It has been easy to schedule appointments with Dr. Harrington and he follows up with me after our visits. He also diagnosed a serious health issue that had been undiagnosed and untreated for years. If you are looking for a traditional family doctor, I highly recommend Dr. Harrington.

I am so happy to have stumbled upon this doctor's office! I have been looking for a family doctor…read morefor a while now and I only ended up here because I wanted a second opinion about a diagnosis from The Urgent Care down the road. The gal in the front was very friendly and warm. The office has a great, old style charm, but looks fresh and well done. I appreciated being given a cloth gown to wear instead of paper. In fact, the cloth was super nice and soft. A small perk, but I liked it! The most important thing, of course...the doctor. Dr. Harrington was warm, knowledgeable, and made me feel totally comfortable. I ended up telling him about my urgent care experience and he called the pharmacy to make sure they had put me on the correct meds. I really felt like he cared! I will not hesitate to go back to him. I finally found a great GP!

Wasn't so great for a sudden onset and new hip pain. Was seen by a PA twice, got a referral to PT and handout for piriform syndrome, returned as that didn't seem to fit and was worried about worsening problem, didn't get exam second time but referral for x-ray (there was going to be someone coming in that Saturday; I understand they don't usually have x-rays). I ended up doing the x-ray at my regular location in case comparison with previous x-rays needed. There doesn't seem to be much continuity between VM and VM/Franciscan at former Franciscan locations or at least this one. Had to reobtain health insurance info, get new "portal" type info for a different system etc. It is often IMPOSSIBLE to get through on the phone. Just killed my battery holding for half an hour without getting through, after receiving a letter stating I would need to call them to prevent further calls and letters about the PT referral, which turns out to be for another of their locations, not my regular VM location where I've been seen in PT many times before. Saw my regular doctor when I could get in with her at the usual VM location and received more complete exam and a diagnosis of meralgia paresthetica or trochanteric pain syndrome. Pluses: Clean, welcoming location, friendly front desk, friendly, sympathetic HCP, able to walk in and rule out likelihood of needing to go to ER. Minuses: Not great for diagnoses, continuity of care with VM, or accessibility on phone, not a lot of equipment there, it seems. Blaring TV in waiting area on second visit was really distracting the 1-2 hours I had to wait for my appointment and prevented reading.

this is the second time i've used this swedish facility for lab work. i am not reviewing any of the…read moredoctors here, to be clear. the first visit was in the summer and i literally walked in at 7:30 and was out within 10 min. this second trip was in the winter and i walked in for lab work at 8am to a full waiting room. the check in procedure isn't immediately clear, especially if you've never been here before. there's a person seated at a computer and a clipboard on the counter adjacent to them. you come in and sign in, and the person will ask you if you have lab work to do, who the doctor is ordering it and your name. once you've done the verbal and written check in, you sit down and wait for your name to be called. i usually ask the phlebotomist to use a butterfly and the last time i was here, the person told me they didn't have any; seemed odd to me. i try to be polite and not tell these people how to do their jobs however i've been told by enough people that they appreciate a patient knowing their body and giving them tips to extract blood painlessly and successfully. it seems to be the luck of the draw (pun intended) as to who you get and how they treat you but what i aim to avoid with small veins is having someone cocky digging around and leaving me with bruises. this visit, since it was essentially standing room only, one of the techs came out and offered me a rolling stool to sit on, which i thought was super nice. i waited close to 30 min to be called back but once they did start calling people, the waiting room emptied out and you could tell they were working their hardest to get through the list of names and people waiting. the person who actually took my blood did a great job, used a butterfly and i was in and out in 5min! special shout out to the person i checked in with at the beginning who called me up to verify/clarify the tests the doctor wanted completed since we'd had multiple back and forth mychart conversations and there were multiple orders. it all got cleared up and i was on my way having had a pretty good experience except for the initial wait, which may not be able to be avoided at certain times of the day.

When you get through and complain about no return call for 4 days after a positive COVID diagnosis, the nurse gives you incorrect information and refuses to prescribed Paxlovid. She said i couldn't get it because i am over 65. Did my research and CDC says I SHOULD get it based on my age. She had it completely backwards. Feel confident in the care they are giving? This clinic has deteriorated very badly since December 2020. Very unfortunate to have a great neighborhood medical practice run into the ground like this. Switching to online care with Plushcare. Used them after the Swedish nurse gave me bad info and they were great. Fast, responsive, informed and responsive. I rated them 5 stars!

Dr. Karmali is the best doctor I've ever had, and I've had great doctors in the past. 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.

Frustrated with Appointment Handling…read more I am very disappointed with Highpoint Medical staff on September 11, 2025. I had an appointment scheduled for 3:15 PM, made a week and a half in advance, already delaying care for a medical concern because that was the soonest available time. When I arrived, I was told the provider was out sick. I was informed that "we called you," but I never received any message. Even if I had, the issue remains -- I still needed to be seen. When I asked what my options were, the only response was essentially "the provider is sick." No alternatives, no backup plan, no advice, no option to wait and be seen by another provider. When I asked when I could be seen, I was told the next available appointment wasn't until September 19th -- another full week of waiting. So, everyone who had an appointment that day was simply pushed out another week, as if our health concerns did not matter. This felt disrespectful and dismissive, as though my appointment and my medical needs were unimportant. A clinic should have a backup plan for patients when a provider is unexpectedly unavailable. Sadly, this experience showed a lack of preparation and care for patient needs.

I have never had a worse experience seeking medical help in my life. My doctor, Katherine Fate,…read morekept me waiting for an hour to see her; then acted like she'd never seen me before (she's been my doctor for 3 years now).

I'm going to have to try to find a new doctor now - no easy task since I'm on Medicare. I feel like a second class citizen. And my anxiety and depression are just awful. If I have a stroke or something, this poor care will be the reason why.
