Dr. Sheckter has been my primary care physician since I moved to Seattle almost 7 years ago, and I…read morecan't say enough good things about her. 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.

I started seeing Dr. Sheckter in 1992 soon after my diabetes diagnosis. I had no idea on that first…read morevisit what a fortunate relationship I had just entered. 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.

Dr Torres is wonderful. Very caring and very thorough. Her receptionist is very kind as well. The…read moreentire experience I've had, has been positive. I'm so happy I found her. At 75, starting yet again, with a new doctor is a pain in the butt. I've had Kaiser for years and they cancelled me, because I also have insurance through my employment. So, I found Doctor Torres through one of the doctors at Swedish ER. I have nothing but good things to say about Dr Torres and her staff.

I've been seeing Dr.Torrez since before I was even born, she's been our family doctor forever. As I…read moregot older and started struggling with things like my periods and mental health issues she became very dismissive and tried to put me on things that were only short term solutions. This past year has been absolute hell for me, I lost my soul dog and the grief was absolutely unbearable. When I came in for a checkup I expected the usual but instead started being interrogated about why I gained weight and why my acne looked so bad. I explained to her my situation and she said that my grief wouldn't have caused me to be in such a bad state. She started asking me incredibly inappropriate questions like was I raped, did I start using drugs, was I being abused, etc. To some this experience may seem uncomfortable but when I've known this woman my whole life and she knows that I'm in remission for anorexia, and have past attempts on my life...this experience was far more than uncomfortable. I left her office crying and hyperventilating to the point that my mother had to sit with me in the car for 15 minutes trying to calm me down enough so I could speak. During one of the lowest points of my life Dr.Torrez chose to not only ignore me but completely destroy any of the little confidence I had left in me. Please do not EVER go to this woman especially if you struggle with mental health or are a girl/woman, she does not have your best interest at heart and I would hate for any other girl to be made to feel the same way I was.

I have to honestly say that I was scared. Having to see a cardiologist at 37 is a daunting task…read more And although the Polyclinic staff was courteous, kind, and efficient, I was still uneasy about this appointment. All of this self-created fear went away as soon as Dr Willems entered the treatment room. His relaxed demeanor, ease at conversation, and deep knowledge of his craft, made all of my fear disappear. We went through a thorough overview of my medical history and put together a plan for attacking my health issues. I feel better already knowing that my heart and health are in Dr Willems hands!

Dr. Murray himself is wonderful and I have seen him for many years but the current support staff is…read moretruly awful. I have waited on hold for literally hours, and then when you finally speak with someone they tell you there's nothing they can do about an issue because they "work from home." Umm.. what?? They are inefficient, horrible at their jobs (customer service) and seem to not understand how to be proactive when dealing with people who are sick and needing a doctor's care. I spoke with a few different receptionists and reached out online, and still my issue was never resolved, nor was it escalated to someone who could help resolve it. One of the worst healthcare experiences of my life. Go someplace else if you want prompt, normal responsiveness in a medical office.

Without going into a lot of detail about my health or diagnosis, this review is solely based on the…read morecare I've received from Dr. Murray. I have been seeing Dr. Murray since 2010 after being professionally referred by my ND. At the time, Dr. Murray was not seeing new patients, so we needed a written letter of referral along with discernible blood tests. My ND inferred that Dr. Murray was the best, so we did our due diligence until I could secure an appointment with his office. Dr. Murray's office is located on the seventh floor of the Polyclinic in Seattle. Right off of the I-5 James street exit. Convenient parking garages located right onsite. Blood labs for testing are on the second floor. Pharmacy and restaurant are in the lobby for additional convenience. Everything about the building is turnkey. Over the last eight years, I have always received competent and compassionate care. Dr. Murray's office is most often times running on time with little wait time. The office staff have always been nothing less than helpful and professional. I almost always come in with a laundry list of questions and my concerns are addressed and answered with a knowledgeable patience. Dr. Murray truly listens and has a friendly, professional bedside manner. He is well versed and highly educated in the Endocrinology field and is on the cutting edge of implementing new techniques many other Endos write off as "nothings wrong". This is Dr. Murray's greatest gift: practicing medicine with commonsensical intuition. I feel that I am in excellent care and trust Dr. Murray 100% with my healthcare decisions. I am lucky to be a patient of Dr. Murray.

Dr. Matsen Ko is brilliant, professional, efficient, warm and personable - the full package! Don't bother looking for anyone else if you need a new hip!

My experience with OPA Orthopedics was completely unacceptable…read more I was referred to OPA after a serious motorcycle accident on July 18 with multiple fractures that required orthopedic follow-up. They received my medical records and imaging, then lost my file. After more follow-up, I was told my records had also not been properly sent over for review, causing even more delay. Then, after weeks of waiting while I was recovering from broken bones, they finally determined that they do not even accept my insurance. So OPA lost my file, failed to process my records correctly, delayed the medical review, communicated poorly throughout the process, and then only after all of that figured out that they could not see me because of my insurance. That is an unacceptable level of incompetence for a medical office dealing with injured patients. This was not just an inconvenience. I needed timely orthopedic care after a major accident, and their administrative failures wasted weeks of my recovery. I would not recommend OPA Orthopedics based on my experience.

Following the surgery I had significant nerve pain along my thumb for 6 months. He tried to gaslight me about my pain. I finally left his practice and wound up with Dr. Miyano at Seattle Hand Surgery. He took an X-ray and discovered I was back to bone on bone arthritis. I swore, after my horrible experience with Dr. Hein that no one would ever come near my wrist with a scalpel again. However, the pain eventually wound up preventing me from getting decent sleep so last week Dr. Miyano performed a trapeziectomy revision. I spent 8 days in a soft cast.
