The doctor recommended a procedure that I was told NOT to do by several other dr's. When I shared…read morewhat I had been told, he got offended and told me I was telling him how to do his job. Talked down to me and was argumentative. Then tried to excuse and justify his attitude by stating he had a bad morning at the hospital! First time meeting Dr. Sailer. WOW, great bedside manners. I would say his hat is getting too tight. 1 star because the other staff were nice.

I had a badly broken ankle that required a surgical repair. My surgeon mentioned how difficult it…read moreis to get operating room time at a hospital these days and that he does many of his procedures here. So off we went to Eastside. Long story short it was a great experience. I should mention I've worked in and around hospitals much of my adult life. This facility was well equipped and convenient but it's the people that make or break an organization. Everyone was friendly, professional and helpful. There were two standouts: Cathy was one of the nurses and really went out of her way to make me comfortable. She had me laughing too. Adam was the nurse anesthetist who gave me a nerve block along with the rest of the anesthesia. What can I say, I didn't feel a thing! But he talked me through everything in advance and also afterwards. We talked about his military time where he obviously gained a wealth of experience. I would definitely recommend this facility to family and friends!

I don't want to go into too much details as far as the surgery procedure, but the hospital was in great shape and condition. The nurses, anesthesiologists, and surgeons who attended me were gentle, kind, knowledgeable and comforting. Overall, I enjoyed my visit to Eastside, even though it was a long drive for my mom and I, but I know that I received the best care possible with state-of-the-art equipment. Thank you!

What happened today was absolutely horrendous. Dr. Dhaliwal seemed very nice and knowledgeable, but…read morethe ethics of their staff are questionable. Apart from repeated attempts to get my prior authorization started, causing delays in getting my braces in, I was given absolutely false information today. I called today and was told that my prior authorization "had gone directly to the board when submitted", I said that I thought it was strange considering I had received immediate approval from a different doctor, and was told "that happens". I then asked plainly, "So you have submitted it?", and was told yes without hesitation. I then called my insurance, who couldn't see anything submitted, then while we were talking the insurance representative said, "Wait, it looks like it was just freshly submitted, like within the last minute".  Whether that was negligence or willful misconduct I decided to call and give them one more chance. After telling their office manager the story I was met with the response, "Well she would never do that", followed by defensiveness and excuses. The fact that the first words were not an apology or even a neutral response makes me question this entire practice. This should have never happened in any sort of medical office when dealing with anyone, but to have two negative experiences makes me think this is a cultural problem.

Spoke with Liz who was very gracious and all is well! I appreciate her follow up and consideration.read more

The first night I did experience quite a bit of bleeding but the rolled gauze, ice pack and meds…read morewere helpful. Your staff was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable (some do's and don'ts). The surgery site was clean and comfortable. The hammering was louder than expected. Thanks for letting me know what the drilling was for. I'm happy it's all over and on the road to recovery. The second day my tongue seems to wonder over the stiches and hopefully doing no harm. I'll call in a week and report my progress. Thanks Don Hurter

Accompanied my partner to a consultation. Checked in and got a useful packet with great information…read morefor those receiving surgical care. My partner went in only for consultation and has dental procedure trauma. I was there for support, if needed. In the packet they include detailed pre/post op instructions, and opioid handouts. If someone is coming in only for a consultation is it truly necessary to receive those immediately upon checking in? It can great unnecessary anxiety and panic. On top of the team being 30 mins late, pop music blasting, and my partners worst fear in a packet on her lap. I had to say something. Front desk is kind, but when asked about the packet, and the wait.. they stared with glossed over eyes and cold tone. To be fair, not their fault... Please be mindful, not every patient is the same. Some have anxiety/trauma and your set-up is not conducive to that. Consider reviewing the check-in docs maybe? I'd just recommend providing those documents during the appointment itself! Thanks for listening!

Dr.Evans has been my to-go Gynaecologist from day 1 since I moved to the US , almost 2 years back…read more She has tons of experience , maintains a good connect with her patients and has the most efficent Nurse Practitioner Ms.Chun. Three main reasons why I shall continue seeing her - 1. Recently , during an unprecedented issue , they accommodated me on the same day of calling in without a prior appointment. 2.They make sure to return calls promptly. 3.Dr.Evans is confident of what she is doing and doesn't follow a trial and error pattern of treatment. Finally, I see a lot of rant from fellow Yelpers about long wait times. Well , I am at the doctor's clinic and not at a Salon for haircut. So if I am asked to wait , I wait. Her Bellevue and Issaquah clinics are always brimming with patients , so yes there is a decent wait time . I have no qualms about it , especially when I lucked out at having an amazing doctor.

Horrendous experience with their billing and charges. Found the practice to be very deceptive and…read moremisleading. Ask for all potential charges before receiving any care here, even with in network insurance. $490 for a foot brace! I repeat - $494.75 for a small foot brace, I kid you not. I had some pain in my heel lasting for a couple weeks and thought "let's get it checked out". Saw Dr Tim Young for a 15 minute, middle of the road appointment - he recommended stretching more (yes, stretching!) and to wear a foot brace at night. Ok, fine suggestions although pretty basic and to be expected. A few weeks later my bill came and I kid you not this is what was billed by this company: New patient appt: $330 Time for the visit: $180 Ankle brace: $480! Random charge I can't yet determine: $180 If you're counting, that is $1170 for a honest to god 15 min appt, where again the main recommendation was to stretch my calf more. Shameful and appalling. If you choose to visit Issq Foot & Ankle, good luck to you. Your wallet will surely need it

I've been seeing him for a…read morevariety of issues for years and he doesn't make you feel rushed, is the best listener and problem solver. His compassion for his patients is incredible. These are the types of doctors we can only hope to encounter. The office staff always are nice and the nurses also care so deeply and are so kind. These people truly care about how you're doing.

I highly recommend Dr. Christopher Jones for any foot and ankle issues. He is the third podiatrist…read moreI've visited in the past 5 years or so. The first podiatrist failed to properly diagnose my foot issue. The second podiatrist (very well-known and highly rated in Issaquah), at least realized that the issue had to do with the sesamoid, but did not fully diagnose the problem, and the orthotics he ordered were junk, despite the high price. They fell apart on me in a couple of months, and when I had them sent back for repair, they lasted 2 weeks. That office charged me over $700 for that junk, and did not properly charge my insurance, leaving me responsible for the entire bill. They negotiated down to $450, but I got in touch with my insurance company myself and got them to pay for it (and their cost was a little over $300 btw). That second doctor also recommended hyaluronic acid, which I'm glad I turned down (there's is little scientific evidence for it for my particular foot issue, and it requires annual re-application). Dr. Jones, on the other hand, immediately diagnose the issue and ordered the best orthotics I've ever had. Most of my sesamoid-related pain is already gone. He also helped me out with plantar fasciitis. This guy knows his stuff! He also properly handled everything with my insurance, and I've never had to wait even a minute to be seen at his office. He took time to hear me out and to address all of my concerns. What a great experience! I wish I had seen him 5 years ago!

Seeing Dr. Robon was one of the most frustrating medical experiences I've ever had. I came in with…read morecarpal tunnel in both hands, in pain and looking for help. I could not work, I could not sleep or function with simple daily activities and I needed help. Instead, I was ignored, talked over, and completely dismissed. Dr. Robon showed no interest in my condition, instead he took the time to talk about himself, how good he is and what Labor & Industry needed from him, not what I needed as a patient. It's taken me a year to write this because the experience was that upsetting. Thankfully, I found excellent care and real support at Swedish Hospital. I've since had two surgeries with a compassionate, skilled surgeon I trust, or in short: everything Dr. Robon was not.

I was talked into and pressured to do a Carpal Tunnel Release surgery by Dr. Robon during a doctor…read morevisit for a bicep tendon repair procedure I was having. When I asked about trying physical therapy? Dr. Robon dismissed PT and said it would not work. I now have permanent scar tissue and pain in the wrist and there was no benefit in the procedure. Since then, I have had many physical therapists tell me that PT is a valid and successful treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome! Worst case scenario, why not at least try PT first before undergoing an evasive surgery?? I was pressured and convinced by Dr. Robon that his Release procedure was the best and most successful treatment option. Dr. Robon does have a good bedside manner but he should not pressure his patients into evasive surgical procedures that could be avoided with physical therapy. I am extremely disappointed with Dr. Robon's poor judgement and he should advocate for his patients better!

Oh, Dr. Song. I really don't have anything against her as a person. She came along at a really…read morebad time in my life. Actually, life was wonderful when we met, but it quickly went down hill. I went to Dr. Song for dizziness and vertigo last summer. After waiting almost 3 weeks to see her, I was a little thrown off when she spent 5 minutes with me by using a flashlight to look at my eyes. She asked me a couple of questions then told me the reason for my dizziness and vertigo was from my sodium intake. What? I was immediately pissed off and upset, and I let Dr. Song know. She didn't ask me anything about what I eat. If she had, she'd know that I rarely eat processed foods, and I actually look at labels of food almost obsessively. She kept saying, "I can't imagine what you're going through". She referred me to get an MRI, "just in case", but told me to lower my sodium. 10 minutes later, I was on my way out of an appointment I had waited 3 weeks for. I wanted an answer to why I was dizzy and had vertigo. I am otherwise healthy, so assumed my symptoms were due to an inner ear issue. I went to the MRI, but didn't expect what was about to come. They told me I would hear from Dr. Song in a week, unless they had found something. Dr. Song called me the next morning. She said, "yah, um, you have a brain tumor". WTF? And again, "I can't imagine what you're going through" with the same sincerity as before. None. I'll never forget that conversation as long as I live. Nobody wants that call, and I won't bore you with the details other than to say that I am recovering from the serious and painful ordeal of brain surgery, but Dr. Song's bedside manner was absolutely awful at the worst time in my life. I would dissuade anyone from seeing her. I had actually written a letter to the medical director of the clinic conveying my experience, but threw it away when I found out about my brain tumor. I had other things to worry about.
