I'm new to town & have had the joyous task of finding a new 'lady doctor'. I tried to find as many…read morereviews on local doctors as I could, but being that this is a pretty small town there isn't much out there. Sometimes it seems the people of Kitsap county haven't even heard of Yelp yet. Quimby had the best reviews that I could find through other sources but the reviews for her staff were nothing short of ghastly. My first attempt at making an appointment with her didn't go very well. The phone conversation with the receptionist was less than productive and it seemed the soonest I could get in would be months away. I decided to look around & met with another doctor with great reviews but he seemed a bit cold. I tried again to set up an appointment with Quimby through the dreaded staff and was much more successful the second time around, only waiting a month or so to get in. Now I've only met with Doc Quimby once, as a 'meet & greet' and to discuss a couple little issues & future planning, but I INSTANTLY liked her. I felt comfortable and it was informal, relaxed, and just all around a very productive appointment. She just seemed awesome. And I have nothing bad to say about the staff either. Once I checked in my wait was only about 15 minutes max, and they were very friendly and nothing like the ghastly reviews. They mailed me all the history paperwork I needed to fill out beforehand and thanked me graciously for handing it in filled out when I arrived. I hope to update this review to a full 5 stars after a few more visits, but I figured after just 1 time I shouldn't set the bar too high. It looks as though I'm the first person to write a review for Quimby on here too, hopefully this will prompt more people to do the same for her and other local doctors. It's hard moving to a new town and having to find all new doctors w/no friends or family to turn to for references. But so far I'm very excited and look forward to seeing Quimby for many years to come!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DR. Quimby!!!! She is as amazing as it gets she "caught" my first born and would…read morelove for her to be my Dr.again! HOWEVER her front staff is the WORST I HAVE EVER DELT WITH IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. These people are just plain rude and don't care about doing their job right. I was told at one appointment that I owed money around 300$! I was then told I NEED to pay or cannot be seen again.... Without an explanation of what It was for. I insisted on asking what it was for and after 15 minutes of her asking around she told me it was a mistake. Ok. Fine everyone makes mistakes. Sure. Next appointment I get told the same thing..by the same person. When I told her it was a mistake she got very annoyed with me and said "probably not, you have to pay it". EXCUSE ME? Then after 20 mins she said it wasn't supposed to be there. Thanks. Made sure she took it off for next time. Also they are HORRIBLE on the phone. If you want to feel stupid for not knowing where your paperwork is in their office give them a call! Want to try and get a form filled out for insurance? Have it get lost twice and battle with them to just down load it online! Feel horrible after hours? Have an on call nurse give you an attitude & tell you "I don't know" repeatedly! I could go on about all the incidents in the last 11 months but you get the point. Its a shame Quimby is such a great doctor that landed with such horrible staff. I battled with the staff more than I got to spend time with quimby for that reason I will not be returning.

If you have any anxiety, are on any mental health medications or want to feel safe with your doctor…read more pick any of these doctors except the owner of the practice. He is unprofessional, unable to treat patients with kindness or respect and will ridicule you for taking anxiety or depression meds.

Went to the er septic and accused of doing every drug in the book when he couldn't figure out what was wrong, when they all came back clean he was so embarrassed he dropped me as a patient. So if you want a doctor that will follow your entire pregnancy pick a female doctor at this practice

As a 19 yr old in late 80's I had a very disturbing experience with a male gyno. I vowed I would…read morenever have another male gyno. Fast forward to 2025 and I have lichen sclerosis. I had a Dr who diagnosed me in 2021. Then the medical group did away with an OB/GYN specialist. Next I am seen at Naval Hospital ob/GYN a very nice captain there summer of 2024. However I was her last patient prior to her retirement. Then NHB did away with their OB/gyn specialist clinics as well. I was very apprehensive going to see the Dr that I was scheduled to see as he was a male. But beggars can't be choosers in Kitsap county. I had an urgent case and the other clinic didn't have anything until September. Long story short the male Dr I saw was AMAZING!! The staff within the clinic, Poulsbo office, were amazing. I highly recommend Dr Aaron Swenson at the Bond rd Poulsbo Clinic. I also have severe panic/anxiety disorder and the dr and the rest of the staff were so friendly and nice. As well as the other patients in the sitting room.

I have been a patient of Dr. Esser for just about 10 years now. She has relocated out to Gig Harbor…read morenow, and what's so great is that when you walk into her office, its the same as its always been: Bright, cheerful, calm and relaxing. I was so fortunate to find Dr. Esser at a very trying time in life. I was extremely frustrated with the major Healthcare system of big corporations such as "St. Vincent" hospital, and "The Doctors Clinic" I hadn't had medical care in many many years when I first came to Dr. Esser, to say I needed more than OBGYN care would be an understatement. Esser really takes a holistic healing approach to health. She guided me through many medical situations, helped me with my overall health, diet, nutrition, vitamins for overall well being. She is a problem solver. She puts real time into solutions varying dosages of medications until we have the right outcome. She is also an incredible surgeon. At 35 years old I was in need of a total hysterectomy- She called me from her home over the weekend to check on me. Continuing to make sure I was well. *And to the reviewers saying its hard to get an appointment- yes she does book appointments out 1 to 2 months, she is a private practitioner and she is excellent and well worth the wait*

Here's a polished review you can post:…read more I am extremely disappointed with my experience with this OB-GYN office. I called in December as a returning patient after two years, and I was told the next available appointment would not be until May. I asked if I could be placed on a cancellation or waiting list for anything sooner, but they told me no. On the day of my appointment, I arrived 30 minutes early to the office I had previously visited, only to find out the provider had moved to Gig Harbor. I immediately called the office, but they do not speak directly with patients, only through text messaging. I explained that I was already on my way and would only be about 10 minutes late due to the address confusion. Instead of trying to accommodate me, they told me I would need to reschedule all the way until August and then charged me a $100 no-show fee. When the appointment reminder was sent, I did not notice the new address, but after waiting five months for an appointment, I do not believe this situation was handled fairly or professionally. Charging a long-term returning patient a no-show fee under these circumstances feels unreasonable and shows a lack of compassion and flexibility toward patients.

The Mayo Clinic testing was great as expected.

After that experience and upon reviewing the results with Dr. Caulkins, I realized that he is way more expert in the medical details of atrial fibrillation than the Mayo doctors.

Having had two children under his watchful eye and being an advocate for women, I highly recommend Dr. Christen to any client looking for birth with a provider who respects her as an individual, who does not want to put her through unnecessary examinations before or during the birth, and who inherently believes in her ability to give birth to her baby. I have seen Dr. Christen give his clients (including me) his full attention for as long was needed for her to feel that she understood what was being suggested, that she'd had her questions answered fully, and that she was choosing for herself, rather than being ushered into a decision she wasn't behind, and didn't fully understand. I refer any of my clients looking for an unfussed-with hospital birth to Dr. Christen and appreciate very much the options he offers women in our county - the type of care that sticks to science, reduction of risk, and treating women like human beings.
