20 Best Radiology Programs In Seattle, WA (2022 Updated)

"Technology"? I can't even do my homework in class!? The cpu keeps freezing up! Lost my assignment in the Microsoft Cloud ON CAMPUS! Technical support is one overweight guy always eating at his cpu. I had to wait until the end of the quarter to meet with an advisor to sign up for classes I didn't want. Now I got a teacher that I didn't want. Got referred to get help with housing, the guy at Mary's Place never called me back. It's more like a outdated community college. The campus security running around there think they the real police. Several minority students told me they were followed around campus by them. Covid hit and I'm getting pressured by a rude narcissist teacher to come to the school to withdrawal from class. Then when I was trying to get back into school nobody answered a voicemail or email. Only owed the school around $400, got a collections bill for $1,000+. The King County Metro bus doesn't come by the school that much. Your definitely going to car transportation. The staff is mostly nice & helpful for the most part. But some things need to be changed.Andrae Jones

I am a 55 year old returning student who attended a " Little Ivy " college in my first time around. My prep school was rated #3 in the US by Forbes.I have enjoyed some of the best educational opportunities that the US can offer. I have surprisingly found most of the instructors here to be very dedicated and qualified. Some stand out, some are better than others, but none are lemons.They compare fairly well , within reason, of the instructors I had at my elite schools.BTW, because the program I am taking is in high demand in the private sector, the government provides extra money for financially qualified students. I will go through my six quarter program at about 20% of the cost.I had no idea that the money is out there if you take the time to look. Do yourself a favor and get off the couch. I should have done this years ago.Fred Farkle

The building is nice, the atmosphere is nice. Most teachers are great and would like to see you be successful. The advising office is my least favorite because I am always continually being given incorrect information, information in which is very important to have. The advisors are sometimes very hard to get a hold of and some do not get back to you, and when they do they don't give you the information you needed. I have wasted a whole day and gas to go to appointments that I could have just gotten the information over the phone, or through email, the front office is touch and go as well. Other than that the school is nice, I'd recommend it, but make sure you get the correct information the first time and not when it's too late.Liz Brown

I love learning, so most of the classes I took at BC were pretty good. Nothing was too difficult. Most teachers were great, especially Nutrition and CPR/Health Safety. There is however, one teacher you should avoid at all costs. Her name is Leanne Kunders (Leed) in the Allied Health department. I watched her break the law with respect to disabled students, which was appalling. She makes up her own rules w regards to laws. She is a mediocre teacher who blames her students for her problems. She retaliates against students who ask for their disability rights. She clearly can't teach and has no patience for any of her students who ask questions because she doesn't know the answer. Her tests are full of mistakes and mispellings and then she'll tell the class how important it is to be detail oriented. Yeah, if only I had someone to be my mentor and an example. Not my instructor, of course. She'll front load a class for no good reason with tons of meaningless work, then leave the last month practically empty. Very poor organization. And then she'll tell students they need to be more organized. Very funny! She's a sorry excuse for a role model. Do the opposite of what she does and you'll be ok. Lastly, Leanne will whine for half the class about her problems instead of teaching. BC must be really hard up for instructors to take this sorry excuse for a teacher. Yawn! No, she's not even close to rising to the level of a professor.Jennifer M

—Love this college!!— Very good design program and amazing internship after all the trouble I went at another small school. Initially I started at Art Institute of Seattle but they accepted me without asking for any essay or portfolio which was already unusual. Then advisors started disappearing from the office until school announced that closing permanently in the middle of the quarter. I was terrified to lose my F1 Visa status. Last person left in International Office told me to leave the country within 14 days if I can't get enroll in another college. I couldn't believe it was happening for real in the US. But Bellevue College saved me. They accepted me in a few days and transferred all my immigration records within grace period. I was able to get an amazing internship this summer and company just offered me a permanent job. Forever grateful to my advisors and great professors!Kim Su

I strongly detest private education with instructors reading out of textbooks which certainly does occur at this institution, however, the majority of professors provide the state curriculum mixed with their own style making for an enjoyable experience. Organic chemistry, Psychology, Biology/Microbiology all get special shoutouts for their dedication and commitment to excellence providing the highest caliber of education while also being accessable after hours through email or on-site locations. Pre-req classes as always are definitely a scam in American education. All 100 level classes not applicable for your degree are a waste of very precious resources and unreturnable time. Online courses are as expected although I do enjoy that online requires much more work. I love studying extra and being challenged to accomplish more from less. Thank you for the online curriculums offered.Conner OSRS

Worst college experience. The clinical advisor is incapable of her job and pushed the clinical to a future start even though the CPR card takes one day to get but she decides to push it a whole week when we should have been done the day the quarter finished. The phlebotomy instructor is really rude and disrespectful of students and makes students not feel comfortable to speak up and if to ask a question she acts like your a child completely rude. I don't recommend coming to this college. Also the virtual graduation was upsetting to know I had sent my information and sent a photo and not even be on it. Really makes me unhappy to know I spent money and time to be treated as a student like trash and not get acknowledged for the hard work and time put into trying to succeed. I won't want to come back to this college for the at most disrespectful people.Ryan

This is a terrible college. It’s like pulling teeth to get anyone to email you back about important, time-sensitive information, and you get the runaround when they do. This happened when I was applying for admission, and is currently happening now that they’ve denied me, because they are incompetent, the certificate I worked so hard for. Because they changed the numbers on some math courses, they all of a sudden don’t count towards my certificate, and they lost the official transcript that I sent from my former college, and are denying my transfer credit. What a waste.Jacquelyn Crumpler

Man i had trouble here. Not only did they give me the wrong classes but it turns out i never had FAFSA to cover my classes. And they make me pay for them two years after I left the college. Thank goodness i never continued to study here. I know they have a lot of students to manage but still if you were able to catch that years later then why not then? I knew something was wrong here. Overall i'm glad i went to another school that was able to get me on track.NO SPAM NO SPAM

Difficulties with one of the financial assistance representative. She wasn’t very helpful and was rude. My daughter completed all the necessary financial aid paperwork weeks ago including myself turning in the IRS and financial documents needed for her to apply for financial aid. Jordan, the financial assistance staff wasn’t very willing to answer questions and ended up hanging up on my daughter never to answer the phone again. She received an email indicating she didn’t meet the deadline to begin school this quarter. She had turned in all documents multiple times. We escalated the situation to leader ship and the financial aid issues were quickly resolved and my daughters account was placed on hold so that she is able to get into school this quarter. After more consideration, we have chosen to pursue education at Seattle Central CC, this school is not the right fit for us. We all have to remember that when we are taking roles and employment and helping the community and serving others, we truly have to feel that way inside. We really have to have empathy and compassion and love for others and working a role where people are going to need your help and ask questions. It takes patience. And if you don’t have that, maybe you should consider a different career. Seattle Central community college has taken my daughter on and she really enjoyed her teachers and her class and I think that was the best choice.Aisha Pleasant

I attend Everett Community College online. I love the school but the financial aid disbursements are a pain. I am pleading with the school to please offer direct deposit to ALL of their students. Today I had to drive around to cash the paper check they send to out of state students. My bank could not cash it immediately because it would be a two day wait for verification purposes. Well, I need my money today to purchase my books. I went to 6 different locations to try to cash the check. They all said they were unable to verify the check with the school. At Speedy Cash, one lady was looking at me like I was a thief. She has never heard of Everett Community College or a disbursement check. I just sighed, grabbed my check and walked out. Finally, my last stop was Ace Cash Express and they gave me no hassle but charged me $80 to cash it. I left the house at 10:00 am and did not arrive home until after 1:00 p.m. In all it took me almost three hours to try to cash a paper check and deposit it into my bank card. So much time wasted trying to cash a paper check.Val Sc.

I would not recommend this school to anyone especially international students. They created new policy that new international students need to live in the dorm that will be finished in Fall quarter at least 2-3 quarters. (EXCEPT students who are under 18, have relatives or legal parents here, or disable). I don't see any good reason for this policy. Why do you have to force us to stay in your expensive building? If it cheaper than other apartments around there, I wouldn't be offended. Their expensive classes are not worth it. The staffs are good but some are not, they are not professional. If I can turn back time, I wouldn't waste my time and money here.Phanwara R.

The health center is the most unprofessional medical staff I've ever encountered. They cancelled an appointment I made several weeks in advance on the day of. When I tried to reschedule, they couldn't get me in until the following month because priority goes to "yeast infections and things like that." I asked if I could have someone else's appointment in the event they cancel, at which point the woman on the phone got audibly irritated, like this was an extravagant and far-fetched request, and the call ended. Fast forward and I'm getting a call back from an upset nurse practitioner for the sole purpose of squabbling with me over the previous phone call and who had no intention of getting me an exam. Completely asinine behavior from someone who is supposed to be a health care professional.Ben Fitzger

I'm getting my masters are there in Computer Science. While it is not as intense as I would have expected it to be, it is definitely a great second choice to UW if you are looking for in person classes and are interested in pursuing a PHD. It is worth noting that the UW Professional Master's in Computer Science will not help you get a PHD. The lack of a project or research will block you from PHD programs.Soren Ludwig

I live only 3 blocks from here and it's got rare plants so I like that since I need a cane to go places. Too bad a Street goes through campus so they got a skybridge that goes to third floor so you have to use steps or elevators on both ends. Otherwise so nice campus.Update: New campus store now moved to 12th and Madison Street. Actually off campus. I miss old one but it is more junk there.Victor K. Panda

Virginia Mason is clearly suffering with hospitality, safety, and attention to detail. The amount of money they are spending on sponsorships with local sports teams should be spent on hiring extra staff and improving their standard operating procedures. Talked to a nurse on the phone about the coughing respiratory issues I was having and she said I needed to be seen that day but there were no appointments. Went to the urgent care who told me to go to the ER. Went to the ER and waited for six hours and was never seen. Virginia Mason would not make a doctors appointment with me until I was seen in the ER. I ended up switching to the Polyclinic where I was diagnosed with Whopping Cough after my first visit. They cared for me more in 20 minutes than Virginia Mason did for 48 hours. Also, separately went to a doctor for a rolled ankle. After X-rays was told it was sprained. Wasn’t getting better so I went to the polyclinic for a second opinion and turns out my ankle is fractured. Because of the oversight of Virginia Mason with two different things, I am having months more recovery than I originally could have had. I refuse to go to them every again or trust the medical opinion of anyone that works there.Bridget Maloney

TRANS PEOPLE SHOULD LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR UROLOGIC CARE!!! I had a consult with Dr. Gjanje Smith in the Urology department for a gender-affirming orchiectomy on March 22/23, 2022. The consult itself went fantastically and I left with no doubt that Dr. Smith would do an amazing job. While I still have no doubts about her abilities as a surgeon, I have absolutely no confidence in the staff whatsoever. The worst offender of all is Dr. Smith's surgery scheduler, Candice/Candace. She is NEVER THERE. It has been well over two months since I first attempted to schedule my orchiectomy through her and I have heard absolutely nothing from her whatsoever. Every time I call, she has either "stepped out", gone to lunch, or has left early. And people, I have tried to reach her *dozens* of times now. It's literally impossible. And unfortunately, all that the people at the front desk can really do is send a message to her and/or the other surgery schedulers to try to get one of them to contact me (which has never happened). I would love to have surgery with Dr. Smith, but the staff has made that impossible. If you're trans and need any kind of gender-affirming urological care, you would be better served elsewhere.Alexis Vandom

Virginia Mason has been declining in their quality of service, good physicians, and facilities in my opinion. They now have started overcharging patients like me. Virginia Mason charged me hunders of dolloars for a yearly preventive visit because I asked a prostate related question that they claim it was not covered. I never had this experience with other organizations or even in the past with Virginia Mason with my previous doctor who retired. Upon contacting them, they repeated their policy and informed me about thier FAQ that I should have read and offered sending it to me! I guess we should keep our mouth shut or have an attoreny present during a preventive visit. Thankfully, there are are lots of other more ethical and honest medical facilities with better doctors and quality of service. I will never go to a doctor in any of their clinics or hospital.Ardy Fateh

I’m in the pharmacy program currently in my 6th sequence after having to repeat a few classes do to poor grades. Although the classes may be difficult it has been very rewarding to work with the instructors in the pharmacy program here at the Renton campus. They genuinely care about your success and making sure that you’re going to be successful in your career. There are so many opportunities that as a preexisting pharmacy assistant I had no idea about such as medication therapy management and sterile compounding. Our instructor mrs.B is one of the kindest and most blunt people I have ever met. Knowing I can be a difficult student at times she still chose to treat me kindly and fairly unlike any teacher I had before. Combined with ms. Alice they created an environment where I felt safe and comfortable learning what my style of learning was. Through my journey at Pima there has never been a moment where I believed that my learning and success was being overlooked the staff all the way from the offices on the first floor to janitorial staff are kind and uplifting if you just speak with them. There’s success waiting and they are willing to help you achieve itKylee Farret-Cruz

If you’re thinking about entering their Dental Assisting program DONT DO IT. It’s a rip off and a waste of your time. There are a lot of other programs that are way less expensive and you will learn so much more. All this school gave me was debt. I’m happily working in the dental field now and loving it but this school did absolutely nothing to truly prepare me for the field. The teachers were always late and contradicting one another. I would literally go online and watch lectures from other schools because I wasn’t getting any of this from Pima. I truly feel like I got scammed. Out of everyone I started with they all dropped out, kind of wish I did the same instead of continuing to pay them. I’m so disappointed with my experience at this school. Very disorganized and all about profit. Not sure about the other programs they offer ( they could be great ) but speaking from my own experience do not sign up for their DA program.Mallori Riche

I'm a student in career prep right now, and have only been here for a month, but I love PIMA so far. Being able to be in a 8 month program with the hope to have a job after graduation is great! This is definitely a place to look into if you are looking into being in the medical field, but wanting to get a feel for if you'd enjoy your selected program. There's a few different programs here: Vet Tech, Pharmacy Tech, Dental Assistant, Medical Assistant, and the list goes on. Definitely something I wished I knew about sooner as a high-school grad.Madison Shawgo

I feel like I’m getting scammed. I’m retaking this class first time was because my previous teacher didn’t grade most of my work that I summited direct to her with all paperwork and it was totally mess like nothing’s ever organized and dated correctly and she got fired so other instructors had to take over and still didn’t care about my assignment so i had no choice but failing. And when i retook it for second time with same class due to her personal reason it was mostly online or self taught with ppt she posted on blackboard. I only got to be in classroom 3 times. my new instructor won’t grade my quiz so i had to email her and advisor but non of them gave me any updates nor response so I guess they just want me to retake it over and over again until they can do their job. It’s large amounts of money they required too so I’m wasting my time and money and it just seems like they’re scamming me. Whenever my friends or people around me asking about this school I never recommend. Because no one need to deal with this mess. And they honestly killed my passion to be on veterinary field.Eunsu Choi

We've hosted students from the programs over the years and they come in with little clinical experience. They're not prepared to work with patients out of school at all. Up until recently our team was okay spending hours in training (while the school gets paid the tuition fee, we get nothing) hoping to keep the student on long-term. We got stood up. A promise was made to stay on and then no communication, no reply. The school should teach honesty, integrity and professionalism as part of the curriculum.Ilona F

I graduated from the medical assistant program and the teachers were all amazing and seem to truly care about their student’s success and wellbeing, especially Mojda! My only downside is that I did struggle with some of the administrative staff having poor communication and being disorganized. I definitely had to advocate for myself. Other than that, wonderful experience.Abby Heck

I'd like to separate my review into two parts. If you only care about doctors and medical service, just read part 1 and call it 5 stars. 1. Every doctor was understanding, great bedside manner, consoling and supportive. They knew what they were doing and helped us to understand. 2. The consistency in staff outside of doctors is very off. Came into ER with our child and had multiple people ask us if we needed food/drink/comfort and never returned with what was promised. Not once, several times. Room we waited in for 5 hours had 2 office chairs my wife was supposed to breastfeed in. No pillows available, just a thin blanket. Told us we would both be able to stay overnight with our child, at 7:30 pm. After leaving us alone until 12:30 am other than checking in and not delivering services, they told us only one of us could stay. Hotel unbookable at that hour. Once my wife was in the room, asked for pain medication for child 3 times before it was delivered. There was no discussion, they agree it was needed and just didn't bring it. These places make money hand over fist, or else I'm paying someone else a fortune. Invest a bit less in colorful, whimsical fox paintings on the walls and a bit more consistency in staffing and protocols please.David Shipley

I'm originally from Miami, so I don't think no health care or anything can outdo that. But Seattle Children's Hospital is an amazing hospital that I have been to, and it was honestly such a good experience. My son was admitted for surgery yesterday, and they have cared for him with so much love; I can't even explain how wonderful they have been. The nurses, doctors, and staff members have been amazing with my son. My family and I drove a little over an hour and a half, and it was worth it. The level of security and organization here is priceless. I met several nurses, but one that stood out the most was "Sammie" omg. I loved her; she was sweet and made me feel comfortable. She takes her job seriously and is very dedicated to the patients. I know there are many more nurses who were just like Sammie and were great, but there was one that blew me away. My son immediately connected with her, and the fact she stayed overtime is commendable. Thank you all so much for your hospitality, grace, and professionalism. I pray God continues blessing this institution and all the lovely people who work here. May God continue to bless you all.LadyBolton

Super disappointed and angry post visit. We ended up going to Seattle childrens due to lack of appointments and a reference from my kids pediatrician and I regret going to them. Highly mismanaged facility – people walking around without masks. We were seated in a casting room for an hour with random folks walking in and out and when I asked the check in person for the delay reason he simply responded the doctor is busy and won't know when he will be done. This was for a pre scheduled appointment. When I said this was unacceptable his response was – do you want to cancel? I am appalled at the lack of empathy or any kind of concern for a parent and kid. I will not recommend them to anyone. Also, we were asked for symptoms and masks at every checkpoint but their own physicians were checking patients in flimsy barely there masks. I was very uncomfortable throughout the visit. This is a very badly run facility (it did not feel like a hospital).S S

If you want a poster child for how and why the most powerful nation in the world can only provide third world health care to its citizens, spend 15 minutes at Harborview. Let's begin with the miserable, overworked, unfriendly and downright cruel staff. Overworked to the point of both exhaustion and in some cases psychosis, you will be insulted, cajoled, belittled and often ignored when you come to this hospital. You will see lazy employees with dirty hair, poor hygiene wearing their masks below their nose. You will see people hand you things without sanitizing their hands or wearing gloves. You'll find people who work at a COVID testing site not wearing masks and insisting you get closer than 6-feet so they see some barcode on your phone because they are too lazy to do the data entry of a 9-digit code. You will go to a blood draw and get a rookie phlebotomist that leaves bruise on your arm the size of a tennis ball. This is a hospital that doesn't even bother to mop its floors, clean its bathrooms, provide sanitary products like tissues and hand sanitizer and "features" its workers on break cluttered together without masks smoking and blowing their smoke all over the public sidewalk. Heck good luck even finding toilet paper in the stalls or soap in the bathroom sinks. It's a horror show. If you were not sick when you went in, you'll likely be very sick coming out. I've been in college dorm houses with better sanitary conditions. It's like this hospital took the anti-hypocratic oath and intends to the most harm possible to you the moment you walk in. I have been to hospitals in the Bahamas and Mexico that far, far outshine this filthy, overworked, overtired, officious, cruel and dangerous hospital. This institution is an utter disgrace to our fine city.Douglas

Wow! I was blown away by the exceptional medical aftercare I received at UW Medicine at Harborview yesterday. Not only was I helped right away, I had many questions answered and explained in a more conventional way by my aftercare team while addressing my medical needs as well. Dr. Carol and her assistant nurse Sara went above & beyond normal caregiver help and made me feel like a normal human being instead of a customer or client. I was very impressed with nurse Sara’s dedication to her job and bright cheery attitude while doing it. I left the hospital with a big smile which lasted throughout the afternoon. I highly recommend Harborview’s aftercare program and will return for more of mine. Harborview is luckily to have employees like Carol and Sara on staff and should hire and train more like them. I am very pleased with my treatment there and urge any others who need aftercare to look into this program! Two thumbs up!!Jeff Dawson

My husband was a patient there for 2 weeks. A Lot of good to say about them… top notch nursing staff, it’s just not enough staff or idk what the problem was but he couldn’t bath himself. For 13 of the 14 days he did not get a bath. I didn’t get a great response when I tried to chat with the charge nurse. In fact, there wasn’t much he had to say about it other than for me to talk to patient advocacy. The urology doctors are the best. Dr Kirk was great. I would consider him one of the best in the country. Now, has it not been for the security guards there, I probably would’ve hurt myself more than I did after I fell in the parking lot sidewalk. Even after I fell and an incident report was done, it was not fixed swiftly and another lady fell in the same place. I hate doing reviews that have almost as much negative points as it does positive. Parking can be a nightmare and it’s expensive!Cheryl Long

I have seen four doctors in this facility. One of the doctors was honest with me and listened to me. The other three I have caught in lies. I asked my primary doctor to send me to a dermatologist. She asked why. I am in a lot of pain so it takes a while to think. I told her that I needed a cyst removed off of my ear lobe, then after a pause I said "and" to continue speaking and she cut me off and told me she was sending me to Ear Nose and Throat. I told her and Ear, Nose and Throat that I was not going to go into a surgical setting. Ear, Nose and Throat told me that I was not and that it was done at the location where I saw him. Later I looked at the appointment and it said surgical room and I canceled the appointment. They did not check for skin cancer or look at the psoriasis either. I asked the last doctor to explain what slip was about in my last MRI results and was told that there wasn't anything on the report about that. It is in the first line of three under "impression" which is right under study result. I am sent to physical therapy again (3rd time) which is making it worse but he thought water physical therapy would help. The first place I was sent did not have water PT up and going and the last place will not call me back. I googled the first line under "impression" and found out that I should be sent to an orthopedic doctor not the one I was sent to. I called two days ago to try to speak to someone and was told that I would receive a call that evening or yesterday but never received a call back. Called today and found out that the information was not forwarded to anyone to talk to. I also am waiting to be approved for a CPAP machine under my insurance but to get one means that I have to sleep a minimum of four hours straight at a time for seventy percent of the time. The pain I have prevents me from achieving this. I need one because according to the test, I stop breathing when I sleep on my back while tossing and turning. I also need to get this pain problem resolved so I can have dental work done, even a cleaning. I have figured out that a patient's life is not that important. I definitely need to find a new medical facility where patients are taken seriously. I can say that I am just being nickeled and dimed to death by PacMed as a person who falls in the low income bracket for the Seattle areaConnie G

Worst experience I've ever had! They charged me $200+ for preventive care which should be covered by my insurance! I called them and made an appointment for preventive care in early Feb. Preventive care is fully covered by my insurance. After the visit, I got a bill for $220. I wondered why I should pay for a preventive care since it should be fully covered so I gave them a call (not to mention how much hassle it was to finally reach out to the right person!) Anyway, I explained the situation and they first said my appointment was not a preventive care and that's why they charged me and then they said oh yeah it was. So they promised to address that issue and will get back to me weeks later. A couple of weeks later someone from the billing dept. called me and said my appointment on their records does not show as a preventive care and they couldn't change that!!! How come I made an appointment for preventive care and it shows diagnosis on their record! First I made it clear I wanted to schedule for a preventive care and that was my first time visiting Pacific Medical Center. Then second, the doctor just went through the standard preventive care process and did not do any diagnosis. So on the day of my visit I thought everything is normal. Now they told me my visit was a diagnosis and cannot be fully covered by my insurance so I need to pay 200+ for getting nothing! Seriously this is the worst experience I've ever had! I'm not going to visit them any more and will switch to another provider. (PS, not to mention the hassle of making payments and log in online account. When I finally log in my online account they said this account cannot make payment online! Everything is so bad at this place!)Michelle Lin

Dr. Waterman is awesome, love her as a Doctor, but my wife and I have found the administrative side of dealing with Pacific Medical to be a huge headache. Scheduling appointments, getting access to information, processing insurance, pretty much all of the core aspects of dealing with a medical institution are unnecessarily painful, confusing, and cumbersome. Our newborn had some standard tests done, and we were advised it would take roughly a week, but its been a month and they are still unsure of why they don't have the results. When you have a newborn, this is stressfull, and really should not be an issue. Additionally, when we were scheduling our first newborn checkups, the customer service reps were extremely confusing (and seemingly lacked basic training on protocol), luckily, Swedish nurses were able to sort through the madness and get our appointments set up. Lastly, we waited over an hour for our last infant appointment, I get that Doctor appointments typically start a little late, but, it seemed like a symptom of the broader disorganization we've experienced with this institution. Perhaps they need someone in charge to take a look at how the facility is being managed, I'm not sure, but, there are many alternative options for care in the nearby area that are far easier to work with; I would recommend lookin elsewhere for care. For what its worth, we met some very nice people that do work there, so, hoping they can figure out how to streamline how they work.Scott Everett

Like other reviewers have stated the customer service is absolutely atrocious! The last appointment I went to the provider was 45 mins late when I had already arrived an additional 20 minutes for my appointment. The staff was rule and didn’t even apologize for the inconvenience and acted as if I was rude for mentioning the delay. When I called a few weeks later to ask about a virtual appointment the assistant (Mikayla?) was very rude and yelled at me and then hung up on me as I was asking a question. The doctors assistants, Joey and Mikayla (sp?) are awful but Dr. McAdam and his medical assistant Jennifer were great. I did address my concerns with the office coordinator so hopefully things will be better in the future but I will not continue to be a patient.morgan magruder

Dr Jason Wilcox in my opinion is an exceptional doctor. I’m truly happy with my surgery. OPA though, where he currently practices, is the equivalent of a medical puppy mill. There are far too many appointments being scheduled for the providers to be able to see you on time. I’ve had four appointments up till now and exactly half of them have been over an hour after my appointment time. Today in fact I made the decision that if I wasn’t seen by one hour after my appointment time, that I would simply leave. Which I did. I wasn’t seen because I wasn’t willing to wait for the obviously overloaded scheduling to actually get to me. OPA should be held accountable and the only power we have in the matter is to withhold our patronage.Brad Herman

Dr Hormel was recommended to me because his first answer for my friend wasn't "You need surgery." Even though after many rounds of PT and trying other things my friend does need knee surgery. My case was more obvious. I had clearly torn my ACL and damaged my meniscus and I needed my knee operated on to get it working right again. 7 weeks post-op, and I'm delighted with my progress. Dr Hormel and his team did high-quality work. They did as little damage during the surgery as possible, and it really shows. My recovery has been smooth and I'm healing up great. My PT says that I am a couple weeks ahead of where most ACL patients are by now.Peter Rexer

My wife started cancer treatment here January of 2021, everything was great in the beginning the doctors are phenomenal but over the last several months I feel like her level Healthcare is starting to deteriorate. The worst part will be the billing department it has been continuous issues with proper billing with the insurance company. It has caused huge medical bills and threatening collection and has caused undue stress on our family in a time where things are already stressful from cancer. Prior to every treatment we are constantly having to sit on the phone for hours with insurance companies making sure that Seattle Cancer Care has ran the proper authorization. One treatment will turn out to be the correct amount for our copay and then the next treatment will be several thousand dollars because it is coded wrong. So if you want the best care there is no further place to go to Seattle Cancer Care however besides the nightmare of dealing with cancer itself be prepared also battle billing issues.Jason Brooks (Jaybird)

I am a combat veteran with service-connected cancer. My treatment is 100% covered and I am in dire need of help as my cancer has resulted in a pleural effusion that is collapsing my lungs. SCCA is much more concerned with acquiring pre-approval than with providing me with the care that I urgently need. I am currently communicating with my congressman and anyone else who will listen, but in the meantime, pre-approval is more important than my life apparently.Dan Nieshe

The medical team explained my incurable cancer and the available treatments with compassion and expertise -they taught me how to understand my cancer and progress to remission. The treatment was rough but I recovered in remission! The staff is positive and uplifting – always supportive! The facilities & equipment are first class. I highly recommend SCCA/Fred Hutch for Multiple Myeloma patients!Judi Jones

Preliminary: I am a outpatient patient of harborview outpatient mental health being seen for: #Bipolar1 #PTSD #MDD #OCD #ADHD #Anxiety #goodtimes I have been going here for outpatient services longer than I care to say. That having been said; I have had much contact with all levels of staff over the years. My overall assessment is that these are amazing human beings that work for the greater good. My current case manager is so ridiculously good at his job it never ceases to amaze me. He never denies my access to him. I am admittedly a demanding client and both he and my prescribing phychiatrist deal with it very gracefully. I never feel judged or ashamed. I literally tell them everything and they take it in stride giving me necessary feedback. They respect my boundaries and I theirs so the relationship seems to work. Sometimes on weekends I have a hard time and I will leave messages, dependably corresponding come Monday morning like clockwork. they never make me feel weird about it, on the contrary, always supportive and understanding. These dedicated, hard working people have undoubtedly saved my life and certainly my sanity on several occasions when having an episode. They do their best to help me understand my illness and thereby, my limitations and acceptance of the things I cannot change. Recovery when you have a SMI is seemingly impossible and never indefinite, but without a doubt these people are there with you, as you navigate time and space by your own definitions and try to make sense of the world around you.

Note to management: he could use some customer service training currently he grunts at you like an ape if you say thanks to him for any reason.I Qard

Just had a horrible call with a young and female- sounding person when asking for general info for their IOP program. My question was about waitlist and she gave me long, convoluted answers about a 400+ referral cue, short term services of 5-6 weeks where the client sees a therapist maybe once a week or less, etc. etc. I kept reiterating that I was seeking IOP only, asking if the offer that, what the wait is. She finally said all groups are suspended because of Covid. I said (again kindly and politely and without raising my voice) that it sounds like they don't currently offer a traditional IOP due to waitlist volume and Covid. She insisted they did and repeated the lack of groups and only occasionally seeing a therapist. I said, "It sounds like you are not currently able to offer a traditional IOP program due to volume and covid." She said that was correct and I suggested she lead with that next time because people like me are making calls for a very stressful reason and just need straightforward info. She proceeded to lecture me on: most people want the long answer, I won't find any other facilities in the area able to offer full IOP, etc. When I told her that isn't accurate as I've already identified three programs but was interested in staying within the UW network, she interrupted me to talk over me. I finally was frustrated and said that she might not be a good fit for talking with people who are struggling with mental health crisis or who are advocating on their behalf like me if she can't be patient with some polite constructive feedback. She said, "I'm ending this call now!" and hung up. …Whoa.Heather Lenox

INTERNED THERE. ATTENDED SU GRAD. 2012. GOOD SITE. BAD SUPVERSIOR, BUT GOOD GUY. JUST HATED HIS POSITION. NO BAD FEELINGS. LOVED EVERYTHING ELSE AND THE LUNCHES WITH LECTURES WERE MY FAVORITE. PLACE HELPED ME TOO BTW, BUT I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE AND MADE A DUMB DECISION TO PURSUE GRAD SCHOOL. IT WAS TO START RIGHT AFTER GRADUATION SU. I'D GOTTEN ACCEPTED INTO SMITH COLLEGE IN MASSACHUSETTS WHICH WAS GORGEOUS. HATED THE SUMMER PROGRAM. DRANK HEAVILY THROUGHOUT GRIEVING A PERSONAL LOSS WHICH NEARLY DESTROYED MY LIFE. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. NEEDS BETTER CHARTING SOFTWARE!1 BUT GREAT PLACE, STAFF ARE FUN, COOL AND FRIENDLY SO ARE PEER COUNSELORS. I ONLY LEFT FOR TWO REASONS. MIGHT COME BY JUST FOR A POP IN.Tim Hill

These days dog walking around the college is starting to feel a little less surreal when the pandemic started a year ago it was so still it was hard to shake the eerie post apocalyptic feeling I would get passing through but while still mostly shut down there are signs of normalcy returning, buses running, ongoing construction nearly complete and it appears some classes have resumed? There are more cars in the parking lots but certainly not back to pre pandemic levels. A year later now July 22 and the new auto shop appears complete. As does the atheltic center which has outdoor table tennis tables!Vincent Rowland

I have loved coming to this school. All my experience with teachers has been amazing, and almost all the staff has been great to work with, with exception to your average grouch here and there. I strongly recommend this school for those wanting to come back to school after an extended break from any sort of education. There is a good mix of straight out of high schoolers and older folks trying to get some education for a better job. If you are thinking about going back to school, give it a try.Josiah

Worst college ever! They do not response to emails and phone call when I need information for my transcript. They say email is the best option to reach them and I've sent like more than 10 emails and still haven't heard back from them. Education wise they have professors who don't know what they are teaching and also stubborn as well. Highly recommand going to other college and stay out of this one. You can thank me later.Be Smart

Went in for test results. Test were too old due to lack of communication with the Drs from Renton.. They say they work together, no way! We had to go town to ER for an updated scan, I have never been so disappointed in my life with the miscommunication and attitude of the nurse that checked my brother in to the ER. He is terminally ill and the last thing we needed was another 9 hrs in ER and the nurse yelling at him, she had zero compassion, she needs to be fired, she was so mean to my brother. The Dr is partially at fault because he never told the ER that my brothers oxygen had been changed to much higher and no one knew so they wouldn’t give him what he needed. Very cruel place besides being scuzzy and that is saying it nicely, OMG! It was so gross, I wouldn’t bring my dog back there plus the nasty nurse. Question.. why wouldn’t you give my brother the die with dignity prescription? Money? Is it because you want to bring him there to kill him and make money? We all know he is almost done, I know it’s all for money for your organization. We already witnessed it with our mother is why as a family have chosen a time for Scott to go but now we have to go find a street drug somewhere. Geez! Thanks for absolutely nothing. I would never in life refer anyone to that dirty disgusting Medical Center if is was the last hospital. So so dissatisfied.Stan & Jennifer Fleming

If caring equaled cure all who enter UW Medicine would exit healed. The constant kindness shown by the entire staff at this force for good health in Washington was amazing. A less than 10 second hallway pause spawned unsolicited 'do you need help?' offers. My tearing up request that a UW staff member pray for my friend Shawn was greeted by a 'let's pray now' heartfelt response outside a bank of elevators. The good energy shared throughout this healing place combined with unparalleled physician and nursing expertise resulted in the best possible outcome for our very ill friend. Dr. Patel and Dr. Humphrey plus your excellent team–my sincere thank you. UW Medicine is a treasure and represents world class people offering world class patient care.Olivia Cornwell

I showed up for the first visit (first of two in 12 hours) after my leg had completely lost feeling after feeling like the nerves had been set on fire. I had 4 doctors NOT DO ANYTHING but give me a pain shot, tell me to lose weight and to WALK OFF my completely numb leg. I went to UW pain specialist right after for scheduled visit. He sent me back for mri and neurology. A nurse canceled the appointments. Told me I WAS TOO POOR to help. Told me to come back when unable to control my bowels or paralyzed. SHE CANCELED DOCTORS ORDERS. Btw.. turned out I had partial broken back and slipped disc that crushed my sciatica and now am partially paralyzed in my lower right leg. Disabling me for life.Aequus Judicium

Having visited this facility a couple times now, I would recommend it to others in need of diagnostic imaging in the Northgate area. Each visit has been received by polite and professional staff. They're happy to explain procedures, answer what questions they can, and have been quick on turn-around to get me scheduled. The gentleman technician I've worked with each time has been patient and considerate of my comfort, and responsive if I needed assistance. (A+) Nothing like getting an MRI while in a heavy walking boot! Parking can be a little tricky as the lot is shared with other offices on the property, but it's also close to the bus transit station. Access is super easy – immediately off the front building entry with a clear path and wide door for wheelchair or crutches access, too.Ang “koneko”

Since I’ve been to this location the radiologist and staff were pretty kind. Just spoke with someone named Martha and wasn’t given the oppurtunity to speak. I had called in to question about a unusual bill, and my experience over the phone was horrible. Never Have I felt so belittled as a customer by just asking about some of the discrepancies. I had initially went into the office filled out paper work and they had sent the bill to the wrong address. Her reasoning is that I had filled out the paperwork incorrectly. Now my bills are in collections with no notice email, phone call or bill mailed to me. Why would anyone fill out their billing address incorrectly? It doesn’t make sense! I highly advise this company to train their front desk staff with better customer service.josh pae

Staff at this location are very nice. However be really careful with their scheduling team in the call center. I waited for a week for a scheduling call that never came. When I called the call center, I was hung up on. I called again and the gal said my order was missing but she would take care of it right away and they'll call me to schedule. Waited over a week and no call. I called again and got scheduled by someone who couldn't tell that the prior authorization wasn't the order and scheduled me for the wrong exam. I had moved my whole schedule around to make it for this appointment, to find out I needed to reschedule. Really do appreciate the staff at this office having to clean up after the call center, but wish this was a better experience.Elizabeth Dacus
