I went to see Dr Bridges whose first words were " I have a plenty of time". She listened to my lengthy explanation then she diagnosed me as radiation pneumonitis. Showing me the results of my CT scan, she explained with carefully chosen words so that I clearly understood. She was knowledgeable, encouraging, kind, personable, and I was pleasantly surprised to know a doctor like her still exists. She reads my messages and responds to me with personal caring notes, while there are fewer doctors nowadays who read and respond to their patients' messages. I was very impressed with Dr. Bridges. She is one of best doctors I have met. I recommend her highly. The Polyclinic should be proud to have a doctor like her.

She came off strong and sounded like she knew what she was doing. Yet she overdosed me with a med the first month out, I am blind and she changed my meds dosage and did not tell me. She was asked the first visit if she could refer me to an oncologist for cancer followup, it took her 8 months and she could not do it, I finally found an oncologist myself and had to beg for her to send the referral, this also happened with diabetes followup, and other referrals, she never once got a referral the first, second or third time asking, and she constantly sent you to the wrong people, I was giving a referral to prostate cancer, I am female and had breast cancer. She refused for months to set up my meds in script talk a reasonable accommodation for blind individuals. Between her and the pharmacist it took 7 months, once it was finally done, the doctor asked me to bring all the meds I finally got after waiting for 7 months to her office, where her nurse stole them, they all disappeared never to be seen again and no one will say what happened, and it has been 7 weeks and I still don't have replacements for those meds. The list of incompetence with this doctor and her staff is so high, I can not recommend her to anyone, or this whole office and staff.

This provider repeatedly told me he doesn't have time to read my messages via their own patient portal, and when I expressed to him my need to see a mental health provider he tried to commit me.

Unless you want to end up in a padded cell I certainly wouldn't visit or trust this office.

After a positive experience with the facilities in Bellevue for my fiance, I booked an appointment…read morefor myself at the First Hill office, and I have been pretty disappointed so far. I saw a new doctor to their internal medicine staff, Dr. Mei Allison. While she was friendly enough, she didn't seem as knowledgeable as I would have liked. There seemed to be distinct communication issues. This was confirmed when I went to pick up a prescription from the pharmacy that she supposedly faxed it to and discovered they had never received it. I called the main number and was transferred four times before reaching her assistant's voice mail. I left a message early in the day, around 10am, and I never received a call back, despite the recording stating that calls would be returned at the end of the business day. If I do decide to return to Minor and James, I will request a different doctor, but at this point I am considering finding another medical group or perhaps a smaller doctor's office.

Like most people, I'm not a fan of doctors…read more I have found, at Minor and James Rheumatology department, a capable, caring and thorough doctor named Kristi Kenyon. Dr. Kenyon has a commendable bedside manner, effective listening skills (so rare!) and a determination for success I haven't found elsewhere. And like any good superhero, her sidekick/head nurse Loli, is an amazing human and skillful support system for the doc. The staff at the front desk are polite and pleasant and I've never had a problem that wasn't solved after I called attention to the issue. I'm sure all the departments are different but I've truly found someone I'd like to work with until I get my aggravating, painful condition under control. I wish everyone who has a chronic disease could be this lucky.

Dr. Elizabeth Broussard performed a routine screening colonoscopy on me in 2025. Unfortunately,…read morethe result was incomplete due to an unsuccessful bowel prep with some retained colonic stool. A recommendation was made for a repeat screening colonoscopy in 1 year with a more intensive bowel prep. At the time, Dr. Broussard could not or would not talk to me post-procedure, but instead directed one of her minions, the recovery room nurse, to advise me of the test findings, post-procedure instructions, and recommended followup. I found that odd and somewhat offputting at time that she was unavailable to spend 2 minutes discussing the test results and her recommendations. However, I let that go - figuring I still possessed enough mental acuity to read the hard copy of the colonoscopy report and follow her recommendations. I, therefore, cannot comment on Dr. Broussard's communication skills or bedside manner. It is impossible to do so if you haven't even had a opportunity to talk to the physician. Now, a year later, I scheduled both a repeat colonoscopy and a cardiac echo that my primary care physician had recommended for an incidental asymptomatic murmur detected on a routine wellness exam. The echo was to be performed one day after the colonoscopy. Two days into my more intensive bowel prep (Miralax twice daily and a restricted low fiber/low residue diet), the Pac Med GI clinic called to notify me that they had cancelled the procedure because an echo had not yet been completed. Since I was already in the midst of the pre-procedure prep, I asked the clinic if they would check with my primary MD to gain a medical assessment as to whether I was stable to undergo the test. They refused to do so. I then asked if they could contact cardiology and expedite the scheduling to my routine echo ahead of the colonoscopy so that the latter procedure could continue as scheduled. They refused to do so. I then asked if they would reschedule my colonoscopy at a later date after the echo was completed. They refused to do so. The scheduler advised that they would do nothing until the echo report had been completed and reviewed by their clinic. I should simply call them at a later date. My impression of Dr. Broussard and the Pac Med GI clinic, of which she is listed as the section head, are as follows: Physician-patient communication and interaction is shambolic (and actually absent in my particular case unless you consider a only written report without the MD speaking to the patient to be sufficient). Pac Med clinics are apparently so balkanized that the different departments are unable or unwilling to coordinate between each other. This creates a logistic nightmare for the patient when scheduling tests. It is irresponsible to require patients to initiate bowel prep instructions without having reviewed their records to determine if you are willing to perform a procedure. Their cancellation of my procedure should have been communicated before instructing me to start a bowel prep. This could have been done by having the nurse anesthetists review my medical records ahead of time. The clinic's refusal to even allow later scheduling of an elective procedure at a later date when other tests would have been completed reflects an inflexibility that is ridiculous. For any new patient considering using the Pac Med system and especially their GI clinic, I would suggest they consider an alternative - Swedish, Virginia Mason, Kaiser, etc. The care and customer service at another clinic can not be worse than what Pac Med offers. Pac Med's customer care recalls the old Ma Bell slogan: "We don't care. We don't have to."

I visited her…read moretowards the end of last year as a new patient and she spent about 30 minutes getting to know me before checking everything that I asked her to. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed every step of the way, talking me through everything. Dr. Karmali is extremely kind, attentive, gentle, humble, and calming. She went to UW Med School, so extra points for that! Another cool thing is that Swedish uses MyChart, an online personal health record system where you can see your medical history, appointments, messages from your doctor, etc. Strangely, when I called to make an appointment, the receptionist said that Dr. Karmali did not have any openings until January 2015. However, when I went online to MyChart, I saw multiple openings between now and the end of the year. I ended up making an online appointment with Dr. Karmali for early December and cancelling my phone-made appointment with another doctor at Swedish. I am so excited to go see Dr. Karmali again soon!

To this day she still works closely with me on this care and has been very good at keeping an eye out for my health and well being and continues to work with my pain management doctor at Harborview. Dr. Karmali set me up with MyChart (available to all Swedish patients) when I moved back to WA and through that I am able to discuss issues with her without having to make an appointment to go into the clinic (I'm already there enough as it is!) and she is quick to get back to me usually same day but definitely within 24 hours. She even responds on her days off and to me, that is complete dedication and proves just how much she cares about her patients. I have recommended her to a couple of friends and they love her as well. Dr. Karmali is very knowledgeable and caring. If she is unsure of something she will investigate the issue to ensure that you get the best possible care. She is just an amazing doctor and an even more amazing person.
