I was in the emergency room at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, WA, on June 04, 2025. I was seen…read moreby a Physician Assistant (PA) in the emergency room.. I have discovered that Swedish does not handle the billing for emergency room Doctors, Physician Assistants, or Nurse Practitioners. The billing service is performed by an unrelated entity called "Seattle Emergency Physicians Services." PROBLEM: I have never received any billing statement or detailed invoice from you; please email both to me. I've already reached my out-of-pocket maximum for 2025, so I shouldn't be responsible for any medical costs related to my emergency room visit. HORRIBLE PATIENT EXPERIENCE Since I have never received any billing from your office, I do not have (1) a client number or (2) an account number when I tried to set up my profile and provide you with my medical insurance information. (See pasted copy of your website below) This is completely unacceptable. Why wasn't my personal and insurance information provided to your office by Swedish Medical? As a responsible person, I have spent countless hours trying to ensure all my medical bills are paid. Swedish Medical provided me with different phone numbers for "Seattle Emergency Physicians Services." I kept calling and was on hold for over an hour each time. I spent three hours at various Swedish Medical facilities (Broadway and Cherry Hill locations), but no one there could help me. I was told again to contact your office. Now, I am on the phone, waiting once more for someone to answer. Swedish Medical and Seattle Emergency Physicians Services should be ashamed! How could a disabled or elderly person navigate this extremely fragmented and poor-quality billing service?

During a very painful and stressful time, I am always astounded by the patience, kindness, and professionalism of the ED staff. I wanted to ensure that each and every individual who assisted me is recognized for their utmost dedication. Please pass along my sincere thanks to: * Front Desk Admission: Shannon and Jen - for their warm and efficient check-in. * Nursing Staff: Mike, Melissa, Baonie, Emily for their incredible compassion and pain management. * Physician Assistant: - Tyler James Ogden for explaining my diagnosis so clearly and follow up for Ortho Surgeon * Radiologist/X-Ray Tech: Tammy- for being so gentle during a painful procedure. * Transport Assistant: Aman- for getting me safely and kindly where I needed to go.

Your compassion and knowledge truly made a difference, and I'm so grateful for each of you. To the team on Cascade Tower, 6th floor -- Kait, Ian, Ashley, and Assa -- thank you for being so attentive and caring while we were on your unit. A special thank you as well to the charge nurse/supervisor who helped move us to another room to better accommodate our needs. That meant more than you know. Every one of you is doing amazing work, and it does not go unnoticed. I am beyond thankful. Aguilar Family

I am another patient who followed Joshua from Virginia Mason to his new home at Capitol Hill…read moreMedical. Joshua is probably the first doctor I've found in my life that I can be completely comfortable with talking to about anything and everything. He never makes me feel judged whatever the topic may be and he engages with my interest in deeply understanding my own health metrics and current science and research in an evidence based way. I've found other doctors be annoyed or dismissive when a patient wants to ask questions about their own theories and learn about health and their bodies along the way. Joshua is always patient and willing to talk through things. He genuinely tries to stay at the leading edge of developments and is often aware of new treatments or protocols as soon as they are available, but is also humble enough to be open to learning about things that may not have crossed his radar yet. He has more than once made himself available specially for me when something needed handling and schedules with travel or work were making it difficult. Working with Joshua feels like a genuine partnership on my health and he's helped talk me through concerns about certain medication types that I was hesitant to try but ultimately resulted in some of my health markers being better than they have ever been in my life. If you're LGBT and you get the chance to work with Josh -- just do it. He's a member of a dying breed that we desperately need more of and you would be privileged to be under his care.

I love the care I receive from Joshua Lumsden PA-C. I first…read morestarted seeing him a few years ago when I lived in Tacoma since there weren't a lot of trans-inclusive providers in my area. And when he moved from VM to Capitol Hill Medical I followed along. Now I happily drive over an hour from my new place to visit him (fortunately this is only needed once or twice a year since we are able to handle most things through Telehealth and portal messages). He's always been super great about listening to my particular concerns, collaborating with me on my care needs, asking what terminology I use for anatomy, and has been super non-judgemental and actually supportive and informative on some of the more difficult topics. A huge difference from most of the medical practitioners I've encountered in the past! I will continue making the trek to see Josh as long as he's still in practice.

The 2 stars are for all the WONDERFUL people at the infusion center in Seattle. If not for them it…read morewould be 1. Need regular infusions to not become anemic and die and the first couple months were fine. Find out something important I needed to inform them about and felt a 5 minute zoom call would get across what texting them wasn't and was basically told without being told by the ARNP (I never met "my doctor") that I was assigned that it was a waste of their time and needed to stick to MyChart. Wasn't happy but they're busy, I'm not at immediate risk so... Okay. That was in June or July when they scheduled me for a bunch of infusions to then do labs and see where things were at and how to go forward in September. And they did. But since September I've heard nothing. I had to send them a note to remind them I had an infusion they wanted coming up in October and no response except a scheduling call that was panicked and last minute on their end and get my October labs and infusion. No messages about the lab results or their plans going forward. No calls from scheduling. No infusion this month because I'm not their babysitter and it's clear they don't care. I'm sure reminders pop up in their system. So if you're really sick maybe you'll get adequate care and not be ghosted for 2 months and have to take over their scheduling reminders for them and if you end up in the infusion center you'll be treated really well. But honestly I wouldn't take the chance.

At that time we begged for surgery and radiation but they always refused because their results were indeterminate. They waited and waited until it was way too late to do anything. After the cancer had metastasized the oncologist admitted that their last biopsy was a fail, they did not take a big enough sample. They had no trials or anything else to offer her. They told us to go elsewhere. After that we tried MDAnderson and City of Hope, but they told us it was too late. I feel that had we went to a quality hospital first her chances would have been astronomically better.

I'm adding this review for another experience. My two kids have been coming here since birth on the recommendation of a friend. At this point, I think we've seen all of the doctors and had excellent medical care. My concerns are listened to with kindness, empathy, and understanding. Everything is explained in a respectful way. We've been there for colds, viruses, alllllll the Covid tests during the pandemic, broken bones, pneumonia, mental health concerns, and more complicated problems. There is an in-house xray machine, radiologist, bloodwood, vaccine clinic, and probably more. The front desk staff have been friendly. The lobby and medical rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is easy access and we love grabbing lunch or coffee after a doctor's appointment.
