My doctor's assistant tried to help. I had to escalate to the office manager, who has not returned my call. Unacceptable.

Kevin was my physical therapist for both injuries and Sam assisted him. Both Kevin and Sam were consistently thoughtful, supportive, and encouraging. The first day I walked in, I was in pain and quite nervous and not sure what to expect. Kevin was very kind, great about explaining everything along the way, and his treatment plan and recommendations were incredibly effective - with both injuries, I was able to get back to pain-free far more quickly than I'd anticipated. I'm interested in research, and it was clear he keeps up to date on the latest research in his field, which is excellent and would certainly contribute to how effectively he's able to treat his patients. It's also clear they both genuinely care - it shows in everything they do. They are professional, capable, and will treat you like a friend. I will always be grateful to them for how they helped me recover from my injuries with such reassurance and sincere concern for my overall well-being. If you ever need physical therapy for any reason whatsoever, definitely choose Issaquah Physical Therapy. I'm incredibly grateful to have found them.

Seeing Dr. Robon was one of the most frustrating medical experiences I've ever had. I came in with…read morecarpal tunnel in both hands, in pain and looking for help. I could not work, I could not sleep or function with simple daily activities and I needed help. Instead, I was ignored, talked over, and completely dismissed. Dr. Robon showed no interest in my condition, instead he took the time to talk about himself, how good he is and what Labor & Industry needed from him, not what I needed as a patient. It's taken me a year to write this because the experience was that upsetting. Thankfully, I found excellent care and real support at Swedish Hospital. I've since had two surgeries with a compassionate, skilled surgeon I trust, or in short: everything Dr. Robon was not.

Dr. Robon was confident and competent throughout the process. The recovery from surgery was pretty painful as I had been made aware of.

Called me the day following surgery to see how I was doing. The somewhat gnarly looking surgical site has healed to the point where the scar is almost invisible. Wouldn't want to go through this again, but if I did, I'd definitely see Matt.

A member of my family recently underwent shoulder surgery with Dr Sailer. I was very impressed with…read moreall aspects of working with Dr Sailer from start to finish. This is what went well in the process: Consultation: His explanations in the initial consultation were very clear and it was clear that the course of action to do surgery made complete sense. We were deciding whether to pursue a second opinion and his calm and clear explanations helped us make the decision to proceed Scheduling: His scheduling staff was very patient with our decision making process during a day when an unexpected surgery time opened up. We needed to do some verification of insurance and to discuss whether surgery was the right way to process. Operations of the Surgery Center: The Proliance surgeons do surgery at their surgery center in the 1st floor of their building. Apparently the surgery center is owned by the surgeons in the Proliance medical group and it shows. Check-in was prompt. Surgery prep was efficient. The waiting room had ample seating. For family members waiting for a patient to have surgery, the WiFi speed is good. There is a television monitor showing the status of the progress in the surgeries. After surgery care was good as well. There is plenty of time allotted for recovery and the staff is attentive. After-surgery follow-up: The shoulder surgery was done on Friday, December 30. It was a pleasant surprise that Dr. Sailer himself called us on New Year's Eve (Saturday, December 31) to check in on status. He even called us twice since his first call went into voice mail. I was very impressed that Dr. Sailer would personally call his patients to make sure that the results of his work were good. After-surgery recovery: My experience is that the speed of after-surgery recovery depends in part on how well a surgery is done (along with the patient's willingness to comply with best practices for recovery). In our case, the member of my family that underwent surgery was only on heavy-duty painkillers for a day and part of the next day. Swelling was minimal. Recovery from shoulder surgery takes about 5 months and requires the patient to be diligent in keeping the shoulder immobile in a sling for the first month or two. We did that & recovery seems to be going MUCH better and quicker than I expected. Even the range of motion in the shoulder has been restored.

I was referred to Dr. Sailer by an Urgent Care doctor following a shoulder injury. (I also saw my…read morePrimary Care Physician, who agreed I needed to see a Specialist.) The staff was not very friendly, my appointment was late to start and extremely rushed. Dr. Sailer is a terrible listener and seemed to question the legitimacy of my injury and judge me throughout my appointment. He did nothing to address my pain, never scheduled a follow-up, failed to acknowledge my questions, did not put me at ease, and never provided me with a timeline nor did he set my expectations. He seemed distracted and annoyed with the idea that he even needed to converse with his patient. He quoted his many years of experience in the field while his atrocious bedside manner suggested otherwise. To say I was appalled by Dr. Sailer is an understatement, he might just be the worst doctor I've ever seen.

Dr. Castle breezed into the room right on time after my daughter's initial information was entered…read moreinto the computer by two different staffers (Jen at the front desk and the other gal who took us to exam room 2 in Zone F - this is a BIG clinic). He somewhat overwhelmed my sometimes-shy 13-year old with his bold, friendly greeting and then launching right into a whole bunch of questions about her long-standing ankle injury. He had x-rays taken of her ankle - digital machinery right there made this fast and easy, and the x-rays immediately appeared on the computer screen, which was excellent and made for easy analysis by the doctor. He did a very thorough exam of the structures and then had her try a number of maneuvers standing up and then seated. He arrived at a diagnosis and proposed a fairly simple three-week treatment plan, with the caveat that he doesn't like to see this kind of problem go on so long and that it could be something more complex than a strained anterior tibial tendon. If she still has pain after three weeks, we are to return for an MRI and a more complete diagnostic work-up. I was very pleased with the amount of information he shared in a short appointment. He was bright and very engaged... this was no checklist diagnosis without any connection to the actual patient. You might want to be prepared to take notes... he speaks quickly and you might find that twenty minutes later, you can't remember what he said. I liked how efficient their office staff was; they didn't keep us hanging around for anything, they didn't run late, and we were out of there in much less time than I expected. The entire clinic appeared to be very clean and the equipment and systems were top-notch.

After developing hip pain over several months, an X ray showed no arthritis present. I was referred to Reid at Phenix PT. After 5, maybe fewer sessions with Reid my hip pain was completely relieved. I learned hips need to be flexible to function properly and I'm still doing the exercises I learned from Reid at home and feel great! After my hips improved, I asked Reid if he could help me with chronic neck and shoulder pain that I thought was something I thought I had to live with forever since my early 20's. What an improvement! Now at 64 my neck and shoulders feel better than ever. The "balloon" exercise that Reid talk me is a game changer. Wish I could thank Reid enough! Thank you Reid, best PT ever!

Ask for all potential charges before receiving any care here, even with in network insurance. $490 for a foot brace! I repeat - $494.75 for a small foot brace, I kid you not. I had some pain in my heel lasting for a couple weeks and thought "let's get it checked out". Saw Dr Tim Young for a 15 minute, middle of the road appointment - he recommended stretching more (yes, stretching!) and to wear a foot brace at night. Ok, fine suggestions although pretty basic and to be expected. A few weeks later my bill came and I kid you not this is what was billed by this company: New patient appt: $330 Time for the visit: $180 Ankle brace: $480! Random charge I can't yet determine: $180 If you're counting, that is $1170 for a honest to god 15 min appt, where again the main recommendation was to stretch my calf more. Shameful and appalling.
