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.

We were very impressed with our care provider. She engaged with us and asked relevant questions. She actively listened and was respectful of our perspective. She did a great job explaining things and making sure we understood what was happening and what our next steps would probably be.

Front desk workers were wonderful! MA was kind and understanding. Doctor listened to concerns and patiently tried to explain. Am very pleased and impressed that we were given a diagnosis and new treatment to try. Scheduling personnel was great. Only problem was that it took over 2 months to get an appointment, and my daughter was suffering with painful GI problems while we waited.

Dr. Pashordy was the first doctor we have ever seen about my son's weight that really looked deeper in his blood test results and truly listened. She was phenomenal. I would highly recommend her.

Dr Pisharody is absolutely a God send! We were with Seattle Children’s previously and their GI department and nutrition services put my daughter and our family through unnecessary medical trauma. We switched to Swedish and have had excellent care through the GAINS program. They actually care about my baby as an individual and do not put her in a box with all other preemies or babies her age. They really do individualized care. She took the time to review my babies chart ahead of the visit and knew everything about her history. She also explained things to us like they were never explained before and was very sweet and actually listened and cared about what we had to say. I couldn’t recommend her enough! We got the best!

This office claimed that insurance would cover my visit. Then they failed to file the forms, even after 4 months of me calling them. I got stuck with a $780 bill.

She is very sharp and seemed very knowledgable. She also listened carefully, which is so important. However she basically told us there was nothing wrong with our child, who has been suffering from chronic digestive troubles since birth. it was extremely discouraging. We still do not know how to help our child. If he had a condition easy to diagnose i believe she would have helped, not so for something that isnt a textbook problem.

My teen had been having severe stomach pain for hours every morning for 3 years. We'd been to many doctors, including Children's, and nothing helped (and most was dismissed as anxiety or a kid not wanting to go to school). Dr. Pisharody listened to us, took everything into account, and with confidence named the problem. She was right, and my child was better the very NEXT DAY. On the followup, she hugged my teen twice, so happy it worked. I cannot say enough good things about her. Thank you!
