She barely looked at me and when she did she asked me, "are you always like this" because she thought I was too anxious and talked to fast (for reference, I literally talk for a living and no one has ever said that). She only knew me for about 15 minutes and told me I need more therapy. She made feel like I was drug seeking and told me I should find some "adult coping mechanisms" and to go to therapy more often because I'm "not ok" Would not recommend and if you are referred to her ask for someone else. I wish I had read reviews before I went.

She has a document pending her approval that I need for my meds and she has not filled it for weeks. I've been forced to go cold-turkey without my medication. My insurance and pharmacy have told me that the responsibility is on her to full out the formulary alternative paperwork that she has been completely absent from. She has been unprofessional throughout this whole process and I have experienced medication withdrawals because of this. I'm forced to seek a new psychiatrist at a critical moment. ALSO she's always notoriously late to every appointment, very frustrating. If you are reading this, DO NOT GET MATILDA CHE AS YOUR PSYCHIATRIST.

Unfortunately I developed an ear infection and bronchitis and fortunately I found Dr. Kinney and Metro Direct Care Medical. I was feeling too sick to try to sit in an ER and the house call from him saved the day and the entire trip. He took a careful medical history, and spent the time to listen as well as inform us of the diagnosis and the options. He prescribed the ear drops and medication that ensured I felt better within a few hours so that I was able to be present for our daughter and heal. He also helped us come up with the right decision not to fly until a few days later than planned to help heal the ear and bronchitis. I wish there was a doctor like him in the Bay Area!

The front desk lady wasn't the nicest and I had to wait 30min pass my appointment but Dr. Portela was worth the wait.

She diagnosed him with a specific viral infection and gave me great advice how to take care of him to lessen his pain.

I've been going to this place for primary care for several years, and had many great experiences…read morewith them pre-covid. Even last year I had a delightful experience getting a physical with a medical practitioner who has since moved on. In retrospect, I can imagine why she might have left. The service has declined severely. I learned this when I tried to get care for a nasty cold within the past month. Ever hear of a place with "Immediate and Primary Care" in their business name that doesn't accept walk-in patients? Now you have. As an added bonus, they don't accept same-day appointments either. On top of these changes, they now require you to choose a PCP...even if your insurance doesn't require it. I was told that last requirement was GW policy -- you be the judge. What's left is a general practitioner's office with longer hours and shorter-tenured practitioners. I suppose this fills a niche, but not nearly as flexibly as an actual immediate and primary care clinic does. Unfortunately, it's hard to fill any care clinic demand in 2024 if the administrative side fails as well. Even if you have a MyChart GW online patient account, you cannot book appointments with them through your account unless you select "New Patient". There is no option to book online as an existing patient. I spent 38 minutes on hold with their phone system before giving up and walking to the office. Taped to the door is a printed sign saying 'NO WALK INS! NO SAME-DAY APPTS! The same sign is printed at the reception desk just in case you missed the message on the outer door. An indifferent (at best) front desk staffer told me she could only find records for me dating to last year, even though I've been a patient there for at least 10 years (and through at least one change in affiliation). Puzzled by these changes, I nonetheless booked a next-day appointment with them. But I had been sick for days: I didn't want to wait. So I found another clinic nearby, where I received the actual immediate care I was looking for. I immediately tried to cancel my appointment with GW 'Immediate' Care, which showed up in my online patient portal. You won't believe this, but *you cannot cancel appointments through the patient portal*. Ye gods! This would be okay if they ever answered the phone. I called to cancel anyway...and of course there was no answer. I left a message that day, then left a second message the following morning. There was no response or update -- all while I continued to receive appointment reminders I no longer needed. It honestly seems as if this place isn't even trying to attract or retain patients anymore. If you want actual immediate care, they tell patients to seek it elsewhere. They don't allow you to make existing patient appointments online (though this might be some kind of glitch). The front desk staff seems apathetic. And since they no longer answer the phone, there's is no reliable way to get common needs met. I hope I can get my medical records by requesting them in-person because I don't plan on seeking care there again.

As I mentioned in my original review it was truly a shocking moment to me that I refused to believe had happened considering how long I have been a patient of NWNP. Northwest Nurse Practitioner Associates to me represented everything that a family practice should embody and that is now missing in the health care system : empathy, compassion, knowledge, detailed-oriented, patience, confidence, trust, passion. I found all of the above qualities visiting Erin every years for the past 7 years and that last encounter (over the phone) with the manager was the complete opposite of what I was accustomed to hence my disbelief. I have the utmost respect for her and what she has built over the years and my decision to update my review is solely based on those 7 years. I do not believe that one incident should erase the consistent positive interactions and great care I have received from NWNP over the years. I want to believe that there was a miscommunication between me and the manager and it was not his intend to make me feel unheard. I appreciate him taking the time to reach out and write an apology email.

And that was true during that time. But something changed significantly as she transitioned to a sort of direct primary care practice and functional medicine practice. The practice seemed more impersonal. For example she tried to direct me away from monitoring my liver scores when I started taking statins. Although she had previously had the position that medications always have risks in promoting alternative medicine considerations and I had told her of my brother's death from non alcoholic cirrhosis due unmonitored prescription of cholesterol medication she tried to talk me out of the monitoring. At one point I had told her I didn't want to die from cirrhosis her reply was that there were worse ways to die.
