I'd recommend him 100% unless you are going to see him based on my review and you're going to start taking my favorite appointment slots that I use for my annual physicals?!

This other "G. S." reviewer has multiple 1-star yelp reviews with the exact same complaints about health care providers supposedly lacking "compassion or feeling".

She was really down to earth and knowledgable. Very easy to talk to. Highly recommended.

This is coming from a guy who's dad was his primary care doc for many years, too. She has my complete trust, and she is genuine in her care. The same goes for Dr. Friedman, who I've seen a couple of times while Dr. Sheckter was out. Barb is also a really caring and wonderfully constant presence in their office. I was in horrible shape and was in line to have terrible heart disease, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, etc etc etc. This team If you're looking for quality care that's genuine, this is the place to go.

Only much later did I really learn how important it was that she knew enough at the time to run the test for the specific type of diabetes that I had. In 26 plus years I have had so many needs for her expert care or referrals to other medical specialties. I also cannot say enough good things about the other caregivers that she has referred me to. I have certainly put Dr. Sheckter to the test of all of her knowledge with my laundry list of ailments, yet she passed all the tests. First, she listens well. Second, she always has the knowledge to make the correct answer. This might mean knowing when the specialist needs to be called in. Third, she clearly communicates what needs to happen next. I come from a family of medical professionals and have first hand knowledge of what excellent treatment looks like and this is it. The whole office experience is intimate, friendly, and just plain first rate. M.T.

However, upon arrival I was informed that there was no such appointment and that the doctor wasn't even in. That nothing was sent to me about a cancellation was bad enough, but what truly made my blood boil was the offer to reschedule my appointment . . . FOUR MONTHS later! I declined. (What should have transpired: Offer an appointment within the next week, even if it meant staying open a bit later.) Fearing I had made a mistake with the date, when I got home I checked the report from my primary care physician (also with PMC, at the Lynnwood location), which listed future appointments. Sure enough, I had the correct date and time, and PMC had it down in its records. Browsing through the previous reviews here, I am apparently far from the only one who has experienced this sort of contempt for the client. My advice to anyone reading this: Look somewhere else for your health care.

She was great, eased all of my fears, and even gave me restaurant suggestions for my upcoming trip to Chicago. It doesn't get any better than that! As it had been a few years since my last physical, she ordered the typical gauntlet of blood tests and shots that I needed. About a week after my appointment, I received a note from her in the mail explaining my test results and a prescription for my vitamin D deficiency (thank you Seattle sunshine for that one!) and explaining why it was important that I begin this regimen. I really appreciated it, and I'm really happy to have found a doctor in Seattle that I feel comfortable with and confident in taking care of me.

First, they don't return phone calls. I called their office manager, Roger, 4 times about the medical assistant not following through with processing my prescription with Medco. Instead of getting my medicine FREE from Medco, my mail order insurance, I've had to pay $10 every time I've had to go to a local pharmacy. His explanation was that Monica was no longer with the clinic and David would process it. So David assures me it's been done. Yet, Medco was never contacted and has nothing on file for this med. Called office to ask why no one is calling me back or following through on my medication order, and was told "they're in training for a new computer system and will call you back" - um, 2 weeks later still no call or contact for Medco. Guess they're too busy with office computers and whatever to care about their patients!
