While I try to downplay these appointments (having had them every three years!), they're never exactly fun and yet your team consistently makes the entire process feel comfortable and reassuring. From the kind receptionist who patiently explained the paperwork, to Mary in pre-op who took the time to walk me through everything and put me at ease, to the nurses who cared for me so warmly and seamlessly every interaction reflected genuine kindness. Even with so many patients moving through each day, your office never feels impersonal. That really stands out. I especially appreciated my doctor checking in multiple times to reintroduce himself and make sure I felt informed and comfortable. Thank you all for the compassion and professionalism you show. It truly radiates throughout your practice. And I'm especially grateful to be leaving with good news yay! I don't have to return for five whole years!

After extensive research, I selected Dr. Towbin. Even my gastroenterologist said that if he had a hernia that he too would go to Dr. Towbin -- that really reassured me.

Tomorrow I am going in for my one month post-op visit. I back to normal now. I recommend him to anyone living in the Kirkland area who needs this surgery done.

I had moderate stomach discomfort and Dr. Pepin was recommended by Seattle Magazine as a top…read moregastroenterologist. Dr Pepin ordered an expensive endoscopy, even though I had one relatively recently. Although he did not find anything overly disturbing he then recommended a fairly expensive ultrasound. The same day I had the ultrasound he phoned and told me to undergo a gall-bladder removal surgery due to some stones being "present" (even though I did not exhibit symptoms typical of having gallbladder stones) He recommended a surgeon from Polyclinic, which upon checking happened to be relatively a novice. So I end up self-referring to a much more experienced surgeon in a different clinic. Upon carefully examining me, that surgeon was very reluctant to perform a surgery on me, due to the lack of symptoms present when someone has gallbladder stones. She recommended I get a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist, who upon examining ordered a second ultrasound. The second ultrasound in the different clinic has shown no gallstones present ! When confronting Dr Pepin with this new fining, he told me he isn't at fault for urging me to undergo a $30,000+ surgery, since he (blindly ?) relied on the ultrasound to come up with his recommendation (even though he ought to have examined me first for the conforming symptoms, instead of rashly urging me to go under the knife over the phone!). He told me he gave me the "best possible care", and that I wasn't "nice" for demanding at very least the refund of the initial faulty ultrasound. He also needlessly threatened to send me to the collection agency, even though his bills weren't even past due and, as I always do, I fully intended to pay them even without any adjustments!

Their phone number is: 425.259.3122 I was referred by my doctor (by FAX) to the above facility for an endoscopy on October 1st, 2020. My doctor sent me a letter saying if they don't call you for an appointment, I have to get them to schedule one. Nobody called me, so after waiting for one week, I called them. Their tape says I have to wait ten business days for WESTERN WA MEDICAL GROUP to contact me to schedule an appointment. After ten business days, I called every day, left VMs, and nobody called me back. Lucky me, one day, I got them during their lunchtime and was able to talk to a live person from an answering service. She was very friendly and took care of me. After talking to her the next day, a scheduler coordinator called me to schedule my consultation visit w/a doctor. I asked her why it took over 14 business days to call me back. She said they are super swamped; they get 2,000 fax referrals per day (I don't believe it). My question was, why don't you hire more people to help you? She said they are in the process of doing so. I requested to talk to her supervisor. The supervisor was not available and was supposed to call me back in 2 business days. It's two business WEEKS, and nobody called me back. How come they are still in the business is beyond me? Meanwhile, I called different gastroenterologists, talked to a live person (not a tape) got an appointment! My new GI doctor has over 100 reviews w/five stars. Western WA Medical Group doctors have three reviews of 1 star and one review of 4 stars. Unbelievable! STAY AWAY FROM THAT PLACE UNLESS YOU WANT TO RUIN YOUR HEALTH!

I get a text message saying I need to pick up the stuff I had to drink, well can't do that without prescription, and then I find out the physician is female for which I am not comfortable with, male doctors should only be attending male patients. I don't want some strange woman looking at my privates, I'm married thank you very much. Frankly, the better part of me finds the whole thing rather uncomfortable and embarrassing really. Above all, I had to cancel twice seeing as no one can get message once. Canceled it and choosing possibly another place that doesn't expect patients to do their job. I'm 46, I thought this was recommended for 50 and older? I suppose it could be any age but I haven't seen a thing on where this has changed.
