She takes time with you, she actually cares about you, and she remembers you without having to pull out her chart to read over every detail she wrote the last time. Sometimes you wait a little while for her, but it is always worth it, because once she is in the room with you, she takes her time. I have been in NYC for 2 years now. I have only met 1 doctor that is decent. (and I have been to a few...) If only I could go back to Duke when I needed some real attention from a doctor, I would.

We had an appointment for a meet and greet with one of the doctors here, and see if they would be a good fit for our new baby. We called ahead to let them know we needed to be about 10 minutes late due to circumstances beyond our control. The attitude from the desk staff was basically "Now or never." We feel if they can't be even slightly flexible with scheduling, they're definitely not a good fit for our family.

I met Dr. Pappas last week in Seattle. He was taking care of my mother who had a very, very…read moreserious surgery. My family and I were extremely pleased by the high level of care our mother received from Dr. Pappas. He is an excellent physician - and has a kind and attentive manner. We had a lot of questions for him and he answered each one with patience and kindness. He treated my mother with respect and made sure everything was being taken care of as she was being monitored and cared for post surgery. This is a 5 star physician!!

While Dr. Pappas is okay as a pulmonologist, I have to say that his office staff (NW Hospital…read moreoffice) and business practices are the worst I have encountered. His office manager, Jennifer, asked for my insurance information well ahead of my appointment. Knowing what services would likely be needed, based upon a discussion of why I was coming in, she claimed she contacted the insurance company and called me back to state that everything would be covered (Regence Blue Shield). When I came in for the appointment, I asked again, including the mention of lab services (NW Hospital). She said it was all going to be covered, sans my required co-pay. Well. . . . . . .I am still being harrassed by NW Hospital and by Dr. Pappas' medical billng staff, as that relatively short office visit, with some blood drawn at NW for labs, totals almost $2,000.00 and I am on my third level of appeal with Regence. NW Hospital turned over the matter to collections at some company in Renton that has been calling me at work and making threatening phone calls. Dr. Pappas did write a letter of support to challenge the insurance refusal to cover any aspects of his treatment or the labs, but he has failed to change the billing code to be consistent with the position he takes in the challenge letter! So, his letter is, essentially, useless. The worst part of this debacle is, that the office manager knew I could have waited a couple of weeks to come in (non-urgent), and then I would have been fully covered by my new employer's group health coverage. I have offered to pay what would have been the co-pay amounts, if Regence had really covered the visit, but Dr. Pappas' business manager refuses to even consider this and simply demands the full retail amount at once. This is another example of an okay physician, using people with poor judgement and poor people-skills to manage the business and operations end of their practice. I would never return to him because of his office staff!

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Minor and James' Medical staff for years. I saw Dr. Enzmann…read morein the Endocrynology side when I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease. He was always very easy to communicate with and had me on the right track from the get go. My most recent experience with Minor and James came through a trip to the ER. A myriad of doctors came and went not really knowing what was the exact problem. I first met up with Dr. Patani who admitted for excruciating pain. The gastro team didn't know what was going on and Dr. Patani quickly admitted me suspecting degenerated uterine fibroids. I've seen other reviews that she has a "less than desirable bedside manner." Dr. Patani may not be a touchy feely sort of doctor, but she knows her expertise well which is what matters most to me. Also, I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Houlton during this experience. After being in the hospital for three days with no locked down-diagnosis, she was the one to pull the trigger and gave a diagnosis. We had about a half hour conversation which prompted me to right then and there switch her to my primary OB/GYN. Under Dr. Houlton 's and Dr. Patani's care I was able to go home after five days having fought off the infection. Unfortunately, due to the "issues" at hand I had to get a total abdominal hysterectomy. There were some unforeseen difficulties during surgery that Dr. Houlton handled quite well. I am extremely thankful for her experience and understanding. I am on the mend and feel blessed to have had two very competent doctors treat me. Thank you, Dr. Patani and Dr. Houlton.

And clearly their nurse practitioner Anita is on top of things, too. (See http://www.minorandjames.com/services/obstetrics-gynecology-ob-gyn-womens-health-wa.php for a complete list of their providers.) I figured I couldn't go wrong with any of them, so I called and let the receptionist pick. They got me in within a week to see their newest doctor, Dr. Patani (http://www.minorandjames.com/directory/people/show/teresa-m-patani-m.d). She is young and super nice. The annual exam was no big deal... I didn't have to get a pap smear, though, which helps. I hate pap smears. But in any case, the exam was quick and painless. Woo hoo! They were also fairly quick overall: My appointment was at 10:40, they got me back there by 10:50 or so, and I walked out of there at 11:25. Not too bad. Everyone was really nice, as well. They are located on the 15th floor of the Nordstrom tower. There is parking in the building, and I posted a photo of the rates over here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/nordstrom-elmer-j-medical-tower-seattle. They also have a sweet view, as others have noted.
