Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I had an excellent experience at the clinic! The staff provided clear and thorough explanations, ensuring I fully understood my condition and treatment options. They took the time to answer all my questions with patience and genuine care, making me feel valued and well-informed. I truly appreciate their attentiveness and the thoughtful approach they took in addressing my concerns. The level of care and professionalism exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone in need of quality healthcare!

Doctor was great. He entered the exam room wanting to understand the situation. It was clear the nurse and/or receptionist talked to him about the situation before he entered the exam room but he took the time to listen and understand before responding. I felt like I was being cared for than the nurse/receptionist.

I've been seen by 3 different Doctors since being a new patient at Virginia Mason. Every visit has only gotten better . The Doctors are AMAZING . All 3 have shown nothing but compassion , and have been very thorough. Never in my 55 years have I had ANY Doctor show so much concern for my health problems ! Thank you
