This is a review on ER experience today. My husband felt unwell. This hospital is so calm and does…read morenot add additional stress to their patients. It is quiet and serene. Nurses have bedside matter. Doctors are very informative. We are not left in the dark. I trust they will take good care of my husband. So far they are very attentive. I recommend coming in the morning or very early in morning. It is more stress free. If you have a smartphone, you can do registration on your smartphone or tablet. It helps keep patients from getting disturbed especially if they are unwell. I completed it for him so he can get focused on just getting care for. It is not fancy hospital but a great one for less stress.

Would leave NEGATIVE STARS IF I COULD My girlfriend recently…read morehad kidney surgery at this hospital, and our experience was extremely disappointing and concerning. From the beginning, it felt like her needs and comfort were not being taken seriously. Less than a day after her procedure, staff began pushing for her discharge even though she clearly expressed that she was not ready and was still in significant pain. It was alarming to see such urgency to release her without properly addressing her condition or ensuring she felt stable enough to leave. Throughout her stay, there was also a lack of basic respect for her requests. She repeatedly asked staff to close the door when entering and leaving her room, but this was often ignored. It may seem like a small thing, but when you're in a vulnerable state, privacy and comfort matter a lot. The most troubling part was the lack of responsiveness to her pain. At one point, she called for help five times while in excruciating pain and received no assistance. When I went to the charge nurse station to ask for help, I was met with a dismissive and rude response. Instead of offering help or directing me constructively, the nurse simply told me it wasn't their section and that I needed to go elsewhere, with no sense of urgency or concern. Additionally, when my girlfriend asked for help with something as simple as a leg warmer, the nurse she spoke to acted as though the request was unreasonable and refused to assist her. This kind of behavior made her feel dismissed and uncomfortable during an already difficult time. Overall, the level of care, empathy, and professionalism we experienced fell far below what we expected. Patients recovering from surgery deserve to feel heard, supported, and cared for -- not ignored or brushed off. I hope the hospital takes feedback like this seriously and works to improve both patient care and staff responsiveness.

I had a cardiac procedure on March 4 26. the pre procedure instructions were poor. I was not told…read moreto hold blood thinners ( Im in the medical field, so questioned that) the nurse apologized, said to hold it for 24 hours in advance, but gave me a date of 2 days in advance. I was never told that I would not be able to use my right hand for two days after , so I had expected to be able to work the following day and had to get coverage at work. During the prep in the procedure room, I was left half naked with people walking in and out of the doors, staff and other patients could see right in. Super humiliating. That is the hospitals faults for not providing the staff with something to block that. I did not meet the doctor performing the procedure until literally 30 seconds prior to starting it. I have worked in OR's and I understand people get busy, but give patients some dignity and at least have the doctor come say a quick hello prior to the procedure.

I go to the Seamar Dental Clinic in the Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma. I'm not sure I'm reviewing…read morethe correct location. Anyway, the one I go to is across the street from a Safeway and a block away from Le Donut. Make of that what you will. My wife and I moved to Tacoma from the Atlanta, GA suburbs. I had lived in Seattle for eleven years (1990-November 2001), so I know my way around low-income/no income medical and dental clinics. I used to have a fantastic doctor who worked at Pike Market Medical Clinic in Seattle. Anyway, the low-income clinics in the Atlanta, GA area are a colossal joke. And not a funny joke. We were told that it would be six YEARS before we could have teeth removed, cavities filled, teeth pulled, etc. There were other reasons we hated living in Atlanta, but our health concerns were the main thing that pushed us to pack up and get the hell out of the South! In July, when we arrived in Tacoma, I made an appointment for my wife to be seen at Seamar Dental Clinic. She filled out a ton of paperwork, submitted her Medicaid information and waited about fifteen minutes to be called back to see a dentist. Thirty minutes after that, she comes out to the waiting room with gauze sticking out of her mouth--they pulled TWO teeth without going through a lot of foolishness! I couldn't believe it! We had waited YEARS just to see a dentist in Georgia and here she is, having had two teeth pulled. I was pleasantly shocked. My jaw nearly hit the floor when she was told she owed nothing for the extractions! Zero. Zilch. No dinero. Nada. FREE. Gratis! Okay, okay, you get the picture. I wasn't going to have my teeth looked at here because I have Humana Medicare and thought my coverage would pay for extractions. WRONG! Humana Medicare sucks. So, I broke down and made an appointment. Last Friday I had a broken tooth extracted and it was fairly painless (a lot of pressure on my jaw but I was numbed up realllllllllllly well!). The dentist, Jeffrey Kim was so nice! He and the dental assistant had me cracking up (although I had to smother a lot of laughing because they were pulling my tooth, after all! Ha!) and put me at ease the minute I sat down in the chair. Yes, I will have to pay for my extraction but I paid $20 for that day and the dental staff assured me that if I could only pay $5 every month, that would be perfectly fine. Neither my wife nor I have jobs--we're both on disability. At no time have we ever felt "looked down on" or treated badly because of the state of our teeth (horrible, but what can you expect when we have no money for dentists!) or our finances. That wasn't the case in Atlanta, GA. My wife and I are both from the East Coast originally and have lots of family out there, still. WE miss them but the social services out here in the Pacific Northwest are too amazing and it's just so beautiful out here that we may never go back. I'm sorry to hear that some people had bad experiences at Seamar. Could it have to do with the location? Maybe not all clinics in Seattle and Tacoma are alike? Please, try again. The place where we go is amazing. I'm not looking forward to losing most of my teeth but if they have to go, I can't think of a better, more affordable, caring place than Seamar Dental Clinic on 11th Street.

Walking into this location, the pharmacy is to the right of the entrance & take a number when arriving. I went in before work in the morning so I only waited about 5 minutes to be called up then was told they hadn't opened the cartons with medicines to be processed and received yet. When I told them the order was placed Thursday & I came in on a Monday, I only needed to wait another 5-10 minutes for my name to be called up again and they gave me my Rx & I was on my way. Rhona was really sweet and since my need for the visit was random thing, they reviewed the instructions and also were in agreement with me that a consult with the providers team would make sense!

Multiple forms to fill out when you arrive, including eye history, family history, an a consent about driving with your eyes dilated. There was an older couple next to me who were complaining that they couldn't read the forms (which may explain why you are seeing an eye doctor....) It was not the doctor who did my glasses prescription, glaucoma and other exams. The doctor was very nice and checked my eyes for any major concerns or astigmatism once they were dilated, which required a 20 minute wait in the waiting room. Now, they did mess up my prescription by missing the fact that I wear progressive lenses. It took a little convincing to get them to see me again in person to recheck the new prescription before I got my glasses, but I was so happy I did. I felt much more comfortable with the second time around prescription. Parking was a little tricky only because it's a weird layout of spots in the structure. They validate parking so it's free.
