Dr. Carkin has been my rheumatologist since her time at Minor & James (so many years) and changed my life. I shudder to think how I would manage my autoimmune disease without her. She truly deserves her Best in Seattle awards. Standing with her are all the staff and medical assistants who make my care there seamless. They called me once because I needed to reschedule a visit. I remembered to call back right after they closed. A day later, they called me again, just like that, saving me from my forgetfulness. The infusion center is also amazing and does some high level magic to get everyone scheduled, then moved around when things change. Everyone is nice, courteous and understanding of the issues that bring us to the clinic, so you don't have to explain, ask people to wear masks or anything else. In a world where chronic illness makes you feel abnormal, I feel normal and welcome at TSAC. I've seen several practitioners there and they are all equally good. Yes, you absolutely need another physician's referral to be seen there. TSAC has a great reputation and their services are in very high demand. I'm very grateful.

Dr. Moon is a true gem. I have been to four rheumatologists over the past few years and had all…read morebut given up on rheumatology until I met Dr. Moon. Dr. Moon is incredibly bright, thorough and one of the few truly caring doctors who listens and considers a patient's thoughts and the information the we bring to the table. It is rare to find a doctor that can both explain and listen so well. He also is one of the few doctors who thinks outside of the box, and understands that our bodies are truly interconnected when searching for a solution for his patients. I have heard that many other patients like myself have gone years without someone figuring out what we have or how to help us, and not only has he figured out some of their ailments on the first visit, but even if it takes longer he is truly in it for the long-haul and won't pass us on to the next doctor in line. I recommend Dr. Moon so highly that I've reached out to my PCP, two neurologist and took a stack of his cards to share. I've never found a doctor like this and I've seen more than 20 MDs in the last decade. If you are in need of a rheumatologist see Dr. Moon.

My experience with Dr. Kramm was incredibly disappointing; if I could leave 0 stars, I would…read more Throughout the entire visit, I felt completely unheard and unseen. Due to my complex medical history, three different doctors referred me to a rheumatologist. I chose to schedule an appointment with Dr. Kramm based on her positive online reviews, but I felt unwelcomed from the moment she walked through the door. She barely made eye contact, didn't ask follow-up questions as I explained my symptoms, and refused to look at the medical images I brought to reference. Instead, she simply copied past notes from other providers into my chart and told me she could not do anything more for me, dismissing me back to my previous doctors. She was incredibly short with me, insisted she wasn't the right fit, and even suggested I shouldn't have come to see her in the first place. When I asked for a clear reason why she couldn't help me, she couldn't give me one. I absolutely do not recommend her. Now, it's back to square one.

My experience with Dr. Kramm on March 1, was amazing. I have been seeking a diagnosis of various…read moreconditions, associated with multiple autoimmune disorders for over 4 years. The physicians I visited prior to Dr. Kramm, all provided me good information with regards to relieving my symptoms. However, Dr. Kramm was the first doctor to spend over 40 minutes looking up and diagnosing my prior lab results (blood panels etc.,) and authoritatively providing me with a diagnosis and a series of future tests and steps I needed to take. She was exceptionally kind and patient with me; she explained everything in a way I could understand. I couldn't be more thankful and grateful. I would sing the praises of Dr. Kramm and the University of Washington, Montlake to everyone I know. My visit with Dr. Kramm, greatly exceeded my expectations. She is literally my lifesaver. Knowing she was at the helm of my treatment plan, gave me hope that I could live more normally and longer with my potentially life -threatening disease.

Psoriasis/Psoriatic Arthritis is no fun; it is not just joint pain but lesions that can break out, too, which can be painful, itchy, and scaly.

Josh, her MA, is prompt and polite in his response time, and if he doesn't know the answer, he does his best to get it. Then we go to billing and come to Jennie. I'm so glad Dr. Dada found Jennie; she is efficient, super friendly, and always greets me with a smile! She is a treat to converse with, unlike her predecessor. Now we move to the infusion center; Sherri has been the nurse who has been helping me lately with my infusion. She is so sweet, always ready to go when I arrive, knows how I like things, and has everything set up. She and Jennie are like a ray of sunshine when I come to this office.

I brought my results of X-ray in my last appointment and Dr. Dada barely glanced at my tests.

I called many times at the office and nobody answered the phone. I'm done with this doctor!

After my dad passed, I had some type of inflammatory attack to all my joints. Especially my hands,…read moreknees & elbows. Yes, I've had sore joints & muscles from time to time, but nothing like this. I was unable to walk for 2weeks w/no explanation as to why. So, my primary doc referred me to rheumatology & Dr. Sharma was unfortunately the one I saw. After waiting 4 months for an appt, on day of my appt, they canceled as the doc was sick. But, then had to wait another 2 months to be seen. I was desperate for help. He was 20 minutes late to my appt and told me he didn't even have time to look at med history prior. So, he took time DURING my appt for that...not asking me, but going over computer notes. THUS, leaving about 15-20 minutes for my consultation. After briefly checking my knees, hands & elbows...I asked him why I suddenly had "knots or bumps" on the bones of joints on my fingers-in a matter of a few months? His reply..."well, as women age they get ugly swollen joints & fingers!" Wow..talk about gas lighting & misogyny. I'm in early 50's, have NEVER had any signs of this until this incident. He did not appear to care or want to hear what I had to say...especially since he only had about 15 actual minutes with me after his late arrival and neglect in reviewing my records. So, in a matter of MINUTES, he was late for my appt; which showed no regard for my time OR $$$ that I'd be paying, he insulted me; not only as a woman, but as a healthy patient who was worried & scared, he dismissed my concerns and left me feeling like I was just a number & not a person. He took a number of blood tests, which I appreciated, but when they showed nothing...I was yet again DISMISSED in my follow-up zoom consult. I didn't even have the energy to defend myself so I just nodded & listened to his dismissive BS. I wish I could go back and speak up-I was just caught off guard. It was one of the worst medical experiences with a physician in my life. Big lesson for me...just because someone is a medical professional, DOES NOT mean they're entitled to demean, dismiss or ignore you as a human being.

He didn't update my chart for the rest of my 10 drs to review. Diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia but didn't note it anywhere nor gave me any advice on how to handle it. Didn't give me any recourse other than I don't deal with this type of disease you'll need to see your primary. Regardless of who is supposed to treat me he should have at least given me an explanation on the disease that he is the one who diagnosed me on. How I would describe him as a doctor, dismissive, rushed, mismanagement of time, not empathetic. Don't go to him if you're looking for answers.

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!

After my motorcycle accident in 2009 Dr. Karmali checked up on me and worked with my medical records from Harborview to continue with my pain management care. 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.
