While the dr gives ample time for questions, she does not do much asking herself - about what you and what you want. She consistently presented her plan for how my labor and delivery would be as though it were THE only plan, without asking what I wanted or discussing more than one option. She also focused almost entirely on physical health. Although her staff focused more on mental health, it made me uncomfortable that my primary OB devoted so little time to mental health, given how much it can affect pregnant and postpartum women. She also didn't seem to know more than I did about the effects of various antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds for pregnant women.

She saved my life and it was a miracle I woke up after the emergency surgery. Her quick thinking as soon as she saw me was what saved me.

She was referred to me by a coworker, who loved her laid back, yet ultra professional and knowledgeable style. She was exactly the doctor I wanted to deliver my baby. Dr. Daniel helped my boyfriend and I get through the hardest experience of my life, when we lost our first baby to a chromosomal disorder at 5 months. (I was 39 and considered at risk because of my age.) We found out about all the "genetic markers" while at the routine ultrasound at 4.5 months. The lab technician and ultrasound doctor were both cold and clinical when telling us that our baby was not alright.It was so tragic and painful, but she was our angel to help us make it through and try again. Dr. Daniel was so compassionate, patient and loving. We then got pregnant again a few months later with a healthy baby boy, Jack who was an breeze to deliver and is still such a joy in our lives at 1.5 years old. It was a very nerve wracking pregnancy though after our sad experience, but Dr. Daniel and the other doctors and nurses at Seattle OBGYN really helped us feel at ease and confident. I give her the max of 5 stars here, but would give her 10 if I could. She is a lovely and talented person and responsible for so helping us create such a wonderful family. Lori

So this is going to be long, but after 4 months I feel like I need to get this off my chest…read more I started my pregnancy journey with the Polyclinic after conceiving twins with the help of IVF. It was a long and arduous journey, but so worth it now that I get to hold my little boys. I dreamt of a natural twin birth and joined a support group of other twin mamas who had come before me. Dr. Norland and I talked at length about my birth plan... She was sometimes resistant to my goals but I knew my rights as a birthing mama and hoped I would be supported at the hospital. She continued to tell me to trust her, that she had the best interest of me and my babies in mind. Fast forward to my 38th week... I left the doctors office after an appointment and drove home. Halfway there I felt a tearing pain on my right side and had to pull over the pain was so intense. I became excited thinking I was in back labor and continued home to labor there and time the contractions. When I got home my mom called and we tried to time the contractions together but there was no rhyme or reason to my pain, so she came over and we called the doctor, she instructed us to come in. By the time I got there I was fainting and vomiting and in searing pain. They could tell that I was not having contractions and sent us to the hospital. Once at the hospital things took a turn for the worse. We arrived in the afternoon and they ran test after test on my kidneys and gall bladder while I was thrashing around in pain. At one point, after a few hours and finding nothing, my husband heard a nurse ask if it was all in my head. By midnight the doctor instructed me to try and get some sleep. She said that she was sure I had a kidney stone (even though every test had come back negative) and we would test again in the morning. I laid down, but had this nagging feeling that something wasn't right. They hadn't found anything wrong with me... There had to be something wrong with the babies. I asked the nurse to get the doctor and demanded a c-section right then and there. They prepped me and we were in the ER within 30 minutes. Just after beginning the procedure the doctor looked at my husband and I and said so calmly, "it's really good that we're doing this... Baby A has an abrupted placenta. If we would have waited until morning he could have been dead." At the time I was so relieved to no longer be in pain and was so excited to meet my little ones that I didn't think twice about the comment. It has taken me months to process everything that happened and to come to terms with it all. I heard baby A (Bodhi) cry once before he stopped. I looked over and I saw tubes and blood as they tried to get all of the blood he had swallowed out of his lungs. My husband and I kept asking what was wrong as they wheeled him off to the NICU. Baby B (River) was healthy and I was able to hold him. Bodhi was brought back to me within a few hours. It was later, when I was clear headed and able to put the pieces together that I realized that incompetent doctors almost killed my son. I had been with those doctors since noon that day. Never once did anyone mention the words "abrupted placenta" as a possibility. If someone would have told me that there was the slightest chance that my babies lives were in danger... We would have gotten them out right there and then. My babies were almost 8 pounds each and I had reached 38 weeks. There was no reason to try and keep them in longer. When asked later why it wasn't mentioned to us, the doctor became incredibly defensive and couldn't even own up to the mistake that had been made. I have never felt more fearful of doctors than I do now. The woman who asked me to trust her with mine and my babies lives made an agregious error and showed absolutely no remorse. I am writing this in the hopes that other mamas will read it and know to trust their mama instinct. These doctors (mine in particular) act as though they know everything, but you know your body... Trust it!

When she came back, she was again hostile, and only did a cursory exam, and let out a deep sigh when I asked her to actually do a full exam and treat me for the issue I came in about. I had scheduled my appointment through their MyChart tool, and made it very clear why I was there, but she claimed that she never looks at that, even though I think the Polyclinic doctors are supposed to monitor patient communications through it. A couple of times during the appointment I brought up the medication that I was currently on (which she had prescribed about a year ago) and asked her how it was pronounced. She kept deflecting the question and finally admitted that she didn't know how it was pronounced. At the end, she told me she would follow up with me in a few days, but of course she never did. Her demeanor was so abrasive that I really wish I had just gotten up and walked out. Probably the worst experience I have ever had with a doctor.

Dara Jolly, MD is one of the best out there--efficient yet thorough, funny yet compassionate,…read moreknowledgeable yet willing to admit when she doesn't know something and wants to consult a text... I had nothing but good experiences with her. My only complaint is that the billing department here isn't exactly as good as they could be, but eventually I got everything fixed--and Dr. Jolly's care didn't change because of any of it although of course my visit had to be reexamined to adjust the bill. Bottom line: Dara Jolly rocks. Just review your bills carefully, as the yin-yang of the world means that Dr. Jolly's awesomeness has to be balanced out somehow, such as in the billing department.

I'm committed to happy feet!…read more Those were the first words I spoke to Dr. Alexis. I had been suffering for months with foot pain that was changing how I stood and walked. I went to Dr. Alexis for what I thought was a wort that wouldn't go away. Everything I did too self treat wouldn't make the wart go away. After four months of pain and discomfort (missing dance classes and workouts), I finally broke down and booked an appointment. The office was clean and followed Covid-19 protocols keeping herself and her clients safe. Dr. Alexis is very knowledgeable. She asked meaningful questions and listened attentively to my experience. She then gently examined the area and helped me understand the root cause of my condition! She was thoughtful with answering my questions and got consent for each layer of treatment she provided. I left her office in less pain, and equipped with tools to support my ongoing foot health. I have gone back one additional time, with some of my shoes and Dr. Alexis educated me and gave me tools to have foot comfort with each pair! I feel supported and empowered on my foot healing journey! Dr. Alexis is the ideal person to have on your foot wellness team!! Highly recommended!!! Book your appointment today!!

Dr Falanga has been our family doctor for two years now and we really like her, she is thorough…read morewith everything she does. My husband and I were having stomach pain and bloating for a while and her food allergy test + natural supplements helped us feel much better and loose weight. We now know which foods hurt us and we try to avoid them. She also helped me to control my hormonal imbalances. One thing I really like is that her clinic sells high quality supplements at the front desk. My sister in law, her husband & two kids are her patients too and they like her a lot. We definitely recommend her. Sometimes they have Interns filing and doing paperwork and that was probably what caused the problem that the reviewer above had with them. I own a business too and can totally understand that sometimes Interns don't do things perfectly and that's why they are Interns so they can have a chance to learn. I have talked to Chris (office manager) on the phone and I agree with the person who wrote the review above, it's sometimes hard to understand him but that's how his voice really is & he tries to talk as loud as he can. I think that if he is a good office manager he deserves that job even if his voice is not the best on the phone.

She's a midwife and understands natural birth and children, as well as a talented ND who makes her own tinctures. I wouldn't say that Dr. Falanga is the warmest person I've ever met, and she definitely tells you like it is, but her intuition is unmatched and she's never steered me wrong. From broken bones, to allergic reactions to late night FaceTime phone consults to informed vax info and everything in between, Dr. Falanga is a rare find. She's a great fit for my family. It's true that years ago the front desk gal wasn't very organized or friendly, and I have had to play phone tag with her insurance guy a few times. But honestly there's ALWAYS delays in medical insurance, and I've had way worse problems at other doctors' offices. The medical field is just a tad disorganized overall. BUT, they've upgraded to a well organized, quirky woman for the front desk. I've been through several insurance providers over that time and our coverage has varied but I've kept going to Nature Family Medicine even if it means paying a little more out of pocket. All in all, Dr. Falanga is a very talented Naturopath and if you're looking for a good one, definitely check her out!
