Dr. Mischley helped so much straight away by offering me the hope that This Body could truly heal and repair itself, given the proper ingredients! While it may sound over-simplified in this review, I believe that the dedicated and hope-filled work she did with me (in the early phases of my MS) is why I am so healthy and strong today! I can only look upon Dr. Mischley with tremendous respect and gratitude for being a bright light of Empowerment...

I found that like some other people mentioned I had test results that showed some serious deficiencies as well as allergy charts that were showing a reaction to near everything...I did follow the instructions to supplement as she suggested and am very happy to say that I really haven't had any serious MS symptoms since I started focusing on improving the basic health of my body (mind and soul too!). I always enjoy my appointments with her as she is SO chock full of information and I like to stay up to date. As a person who was diagnosed with MS 10+ years ago and as the founder of MomsWithMS.com a community of mothers diagnosed with multiple sclerosis can get peer support I highly recommend finding a naturopath who has experience dealing with Multiple Sclerosis...and if you have a naturopath that isn't specialized make sure they have Laurie's information because I'm sure she has information to share...hopefully a book or something will come out of her on this topic soon!!

My husband and I found Dr Raisis to be very friendly, respectful and great bedside manner. I am very, very picky about who my doctors are, and I immediately felt very comfortable with Dr Raisis. In the recovery room I heard staff talking about him, and they had nothing but good things to say about him. In my book, if medical staff speaks highly of a doctor, that is who I'm going too see! Dr Pritchett made a good choice!! Two wonderful doctors, and this morning, I'm sore but no real pain!! I was told to expect lots of pain post op...doesn't seem to be happening! And I credited those two doctors and the great staff at Swedish Ortho Insitiute!!

I don't live in Seattle anymore so this review is rather overdue, but I am currently reviewing my…read morerecords from Dr. Raisis and his colleague Dr. Steege, which reminded me I wanted to review them here. Dr. Raisis in particular was completely disinterested in my case; he was never receptive to anecdotes that would help explain my symptoms (in fact, he outright said he had never seen my particular issue in his career, when in fact it is a fairly common issue and relatively easy to see on diagnostic images, according to information I've gathered and surgeons I've met in the meantime). For a few years I defended him, saying that while his bedside manner was terrible, he was a good "mechanic." That changed when I was diagnosed and treated for a rare infection that Dr. Raisis had neglected to warn me was a possibility of the last surgery he had done on me. In fact, Dr. Steege had seen me while I was trying to get a diagnosis, and he correctly guessed what was wrong but dismissed me saying that couldn't be the case. By the time my infection was diagnosed, there was an imminent threat of kidney failure (yes, stemming from a neuro issue!). I would not recommend Dr. Raisis or his colleague Dr. Steege. Terrible customer service, and negligent doctors with little interest in cases they do not find compelling.

Dr. Broudy is the best. Since my last review, I have visited him on several occasions. When I had…read moresome break-through heart symptoms while on my meds, he arranged for me to go through a graded exercise test on a treadmill. After my test was completed, he told me how impressed he was with my results. Of course, the competition is 25-30 years older, but I'll take whatever compliments I can get. If my insurance company let me, I think I would continue to visit Dr. Broudy even if I didn't have a stupid arrhythmia to manage. He's very entertaining. A few visits ago, he was looking through my chart, and asked if I was related to a physician from another state who shares the same last name as me. After telling him we were not related, Dr. Broudy goes on to tell me the story of how the physician was attacked and killed by an alligator. See, entertaining, right?

Friedman strode in looking harried and asked "What are you here for today?" with a puss on his face. Before I finished answering, he interrupted with "Look, I can't see you without an ID." I said "I told the receptionist I could go get it. I live about two blocks away." "If you're not happy with the care, you can go somewhere else." So I did. Very strange and unpleasant interaction. My fault for not having an ID, but what an A-hole. Best I can figure, I was labeled suspicious for not having my ID and shown the door. He also wouldn't give me my chart when I left. Not recommended.

The last time I'd classify one of my doctors as "good" was when I was a kid and my family practice…read moredoc was a marvel. Engaging, patient, unhurried and knowledgeable. Sure he once broke both legs jumping off a boat into 4' deep water and getting medical advice from a dude with giant casts on both of his legs was a little suspect, but I digress. Since that doctor I've had a long string of managed care zombies. Every single one has made a snap judgment based on the first symptom or two they heard and hustled me along. I had one doc say "You need to lose some weight" based on my BMI, not bothering to note that I was at the time a bodybuilder with single digit body fat (his advice would be correct nowadays, but again I digress). Dr. Friedman, who I chose totally at random as the nearest doctor who took my insurance, has been an unexpected joy. He's very kind, listens to his patients, doesn't rush you at all and seriously knows his stuff. He has also worked in the area for a very long time and has extensive connections in the local medical community. I've gotten a couple of referrals from him and they both worked out wonderfully. To be fair his office is a little dated-feeling and could use a facelift, but that hasn't affected the quality of care I've received at all. I'd much rather have a great doctor with a 70's-feeling office than a mediocre doctor in a state of the art facility, which seems all too common these days.

I received a confirmation phone call, showed up for my scheduled, confirmed appointment and was told that my appointment had been cancelled yet again due to a "meeting". This is not a good person; at this point it does not matter if she is a "good" doctor - I have no experience with her being a "good" doctor, all I know is that she is a thoughtless, inconsiderate person who does not respect others.

True to her word, she mailed me all the needed paperwork promptly, and I received a call from Lisa in the office to let me know that they received all my MRI images from the radiologist. I even got a reminder call the day prior to my appt. I'm not that familiar with Evergreen, so it was a little tricky, finding the office. Parking was a breeze, as all the paperwork was very clear about parking in the "blue" garage. However...it would have been good to know that the office was in the "Tan" section of the Evergreen complex. FYI. The office itself (once I found it) is very large and well-spaced out. There are sports memorabilia and prints on the walls (the doctors specialize in sports medicine, which I like!). The front desk lady was incredibly nice and we chatted. I was seen on time, to the minute. Another friendly gal ushered me to my room, and I was told to change into some very unattractive shorts (!), to take some x-rays. The x-rays provide a different image of the problemmatic area, and being associated with the medical field myself, I believe them to be appropriate and necessary for proper diagnoses. The x-ray tech was awesome! She made me very relaxed and comfortable - even in the hideous shorts. Afterwards I was escorted back to my room, where I was seen by Dr. Roh (see my review of him. He was great). This practice came highly recommended to me by my GP, and I have heard great things from people I know who have been seen here. Now I see why.

I never felt ignored or uncomfortable and they were always on the ball when it came to my scheduling, insurance, etc. The ACL replacement procedure itself went amazingly well with almost no scarring and a full recovery back to snowboarding and crossfit at 5 months!!!! Dr. Roberts is a fantastic surgeon and was very positive about recovery times, but what I loved most was that he NEVER told me what I was capable of. Recovery is what you put into it and I feel blessed that I had a doctor as competent and understanding as Dr. Roberts. I send all my friends and family members there!
