The Everett Clinic Neurology

Whoever answers the phone here is sassy and rude. I can't understand why they were so mean to me when I tried to be nice to them about the problem.

Dr. Chun is by far the best doctor Ive ever seen. His bedside manner is incredible and his caring nature surpasses that of any provider Ive seen in years! Not only did he ease me of fears and concerns Ive been having for the last several months, but he sat there with me for a good portion of the visit and just listened to me vent about current worries and stressors Im facing. I will absolutely be recommending him to anyone that needs a neurologist from here on out! Thank you so much Dr. Chun for your kind heart and being such a caring provider.

Honestly, this was a very disappointing medical experience. I suffered a very bad triple hit concussion this last year from a bad mountain bike crash, and I struggled for over 6 months in recovery. It took many appointments with my everet clinic primary care to finally escalate me to the everett clinic neurologist and get an mri for my brain. I was excited to get good information and talk to an expert. Unfortunately, the neurologist I saw was not helpful in the slightest. I had many questions about how best to maximize recovery/how to limit activities, etc. All of my questions were answered with "it depends", and their bottom line recommendation was "don't get another concussion." The only analysis of my brain scan done was that I did not have an active bleed, and afterwards a quick reflex and proprioceptive test. I recommend elsewhere for care, as the care I received felt apathetic, and I was pretty much told to just wait for recovery, despite a condition that affected me every moment of every day. This is especially hard because people with these injury types are unable to self advocate well due to their conditions. I went elsewhere for second opinions and was given great advice on sleep, nutrition, and exercise recovery to help heal my brain. I saw little improvement until these active recovery strategies.

This clinic is a prime example of the current state of brokenness in the practice of medicine. My insurance does not require referrals to see specialists, and I pay dearly to have this level of coverage to be able to self-refer. However, this practice has an internal policy requiring referrals or they cancel your appointment. I dont have a PCP because mine retired. After waiting 3 months to see a new one, that one cancelled my appointment. Now, the next appointment I can get with a PCP is in 2024! When I called this practice to ask about their referral policy they told me they need one to see me but would accept a referral from my dentist. If thats the case then THEY DONT ACTUALLY NEED A REFERRAL, theyre just checking a box. A dentist? Are they serious? Apparently so. Good luck to all of us, because the practice of medicine is broken maybe beyond repair. Theyre driving people to misuse ERs with nonsensical policies like this. And besides that, what is their actual concern? Im insured. I will pay my copay and my insurance will pay them. The worst that happens to them is THEY GET PAID, even if they dont help me. Im beyond frustrated.

Dinah Thyerlei, MD was my doctor. She was excellent. She always spent a great deal of time with me going over everything to reach a good diagnosis. She had be get special testing at the University of Washington when the Everett Clinic's resources were unavailable to accommodate. In the end, we reached a diagnosis that has changed my life for the better, as there is a treatment for it that works. Dr. Thyeriei made every effort to reach an accurate diagnosis, and I cannot thank her enough for doing that. She was kind and very supportive through the whole process. The nurses in Neurology were also very on top of everything and made sure of follow up appointments and helped with testing. Even the front desk was very kind and professional. I cannot recommend Everett Clinic Neurology enough. Try them out!
