Swedish Family Medicine - Ballard

This location wont take any new patients unless you fulfill a bunch of random criterias even though Im already with Swedish and they have a bunch of doctors taking new patients. All the other locations near me dont have female doctors (taking new patients) and my current one is resigning. Would really appreciate it if you wrote all the specific criteria on the website instead of me wasting my time and being on hold just to be told I cant go herelady on the phone was also beating around the bush about it just tell me you cant do it instead of saying we only make appts 6 weeks out when I cant get an appointment at all

Been here for a decade and like others, constantly being shifted from one doctor to another without any notice or choice. One doctor I had for years essentially ghosted their job, no one knew when she was coming back until she never did. Meds are impossible to get even those you will need for life. Empathy and compassion are even harder to find. No mental health help as the teaching therapists last even less than the MD. This place makes you wait a long time for a response. the front deck used to be helpful but has been rude and incompetent for 6 years since everyone decent left. 10 years ago Id recommend this to someone but now I say stay away

I have been a patient here for almost a decade. In that time, I only had one doctor that I didn't think made a good choice for me. Easily enough, I didn't see that one again. Every other provider has been friendly, professional, responsive, and listens to my experience. I wish they didn't have to leave, but there's always another good person who comes in for their residency.

I do not understand the bad reviews. I have gone there for a decade and they always went out of there way to do their best for me. And yes if doctors are full that day, you will be sent to urgent care.

Don't come here if you have disabilities or mental health issues. You'll get gas lit by the doctors and they'll take away medications that had been working for you in the past. I'm all for learning environments but year after year of being shifted from one resident doctor to another has taught me that these people have absolutely no idea what they're doing and none of them are going to be good doctors in the future. You're lucky if your doctor even shows up for your appointment. I'm currently editing this as I sit waiting for someone to show up for a virtual appointment after the office has already closed. I just need my correct dosage of meds but we can't even seem to manage that
