And in my opinion a more accurate representation of the disaster of a business you're considering engaging with. Overall experience was terrible. The consultation in general was simply an excuse to push processed, expensive packaged foods like shakes, bars, etc. instead of teaching clients how to eat real food in a sustainable way. I decided not to move forward with the program after meeting with the Dr. Weeks later I received an invoice that brings me to the disaster of their billing. Their "insurance experts" and front office completely miss the boat on accurately explaining the offices costs. When I walked in the gal attempted to charge me $95 (I later learned this was the full cost if I had no insurance, in hindsight I should have simply paid this). I told her I was quoted $45 by the billing team and wasn't interested in paying $95 for a consultation so if it was that vs. $45 cancel the appointment. She went to the back and came back out and said oh year $45. Ok. Two weeks later, after paying the $45 the day of the appointment, I received a bill for $92.88. Which by the way in hindsight NOT using insurance would have been better for me, wish their "insurance expert" had mentioned that when she ran my insurance and told me the cost for a consultaton would be $45. The billing company (they outsource it) was really nice to work with and apologetic explaining they've had high turn over at the medical office and have been having problems with clients not having expenses properly explained. Apparently I'm not the first to have this or a similar issue. They escalated my call back to Rainier Medical who came back and said the costs are listed on the website and I signed something when I showed up that said I'd pay whatever was billed so it was due. I paid the $92.88 (plus the original $45) and am wiping my hands of the experience but hope by sharing others will know to (a) avoid this place, the services aren't worth it and (b) if you do go don't trust the billing/front desk team to be helpful.

I walked through the doors at University Place at the end July, scared, anxious, emotional and truth be told....broken. The immediate support I received was amazing. I committed that day, and have not looked back. I have learned that everyone's Weightloss journey is unique. My 30+ weightloss number is another's 100+...or 20+. The emotions are the same, the struggle the same.....and the feeling of success the same when that scale drops. Dr. Sutherland and her staff from the PA's, Nutritionists, Trainers and Office Personnel work closely to provide an overall package uniquely designed to each patient. Being under a Physicians care while in my Weightloss phase helped keep my spirits up during the times I struggled, and the online app and Handbook gave my guidance when I had questions. I have entered Maintenance and realize this next phase comes with new challenges and will require a lifetime of focus and diligence. However with the amazing support from Rainier Medical Weightloss my husband, daughter, friends and co-workers, I am excited to face this New Year (2020)....healthier, happier and stronger! If you are considering a "New Direction"....start now. Pick up the phone, open that door and walk through. You are more of a Warrior that you think.

Case in point, on day one the owner diagnose an issue that I was having with my form for one of the Olympic, weightlifting movements, which another gym in the areas coaches hadn't noticed for seven months, and had led to an injury. Day one Joe diagnosed the problem and it was fixed without me even asking!There are two sides of the gym, dedicated for electric weightlifting on one side, and the other side, high intensity, interval training. This shit is easily accessible, clean, and has easy parking. It is not a globo gym, nor is it simply an iron fitness. There is space for what you need if it's a casino workout, or you're dropping in for open gym or individual weightlifting session. Coaches run classes on time, one hour, which is not the experience that I have had other community style gyms in the past in the area. American flag over the door, attentive coaches and community, never asking for reviews online (a great plus!), accessible in ten minutes or less from JBLM, Lakewood, all the way up to Ruston. Great location for access!

I've gone to him because of L&I, but I think he takes L&I patients because he needs patients.

He goes through office assistants regularly, and none of them are very helpful. If it weren't for no L&I doctors taking new patients, I wouldn't ever go here.
