My appt. was at 4:30. I was told to "arrive early" for paperwork. I was finally taken back to a room at 5:15. At 6:00 Dr. Robertson strolled in. He saw me for 6 min. Then his office tried to charge me $100 more than they originally told me the appt. would cost. I told them what they could do with their bill. Bottom line, he is always late, always has been, always will be. If you schedule an appt., bring a thick book...

I've never used the pharmacy, just purchased items in the market area. I used to go there because I live down the street, but it's not worth the service. I've had a staff member drop the change I gave, then picked up pennies instead of the dimes I'd paid with, telling me I owed more. Don't bother going in if they're trying to stock things, you will get a lot of glaring and the silent treatment. Not a great selection, anyway.
Pros: Convenient location
Cons: Rude staff

My primary care doc is at the Polyclinic so I have been going to their Breast Center for years with no problems. This year there are new people in charge and things have gone to s**t. I am religious about getting annual mammograms because of BIG family history. Due to multiple screw ups on their part it took me 7 months (6 months past when I was due) to get an appointment. I finally got one in the beginning of July, and two weeks later got a letter, not a call, that I needed to schedule a follow up. After a ruined weekend I called them and got an appointment for a week later. I started complaining at that point for all the delays thus far and about being notified by letter. I went if for an ultrasound and they found a lump and then said they couldn't schedule a biopsy for a month!!! I ranted and raved and the doctor who was there said it wasn't acceptable but there was nothing the poor women there could do about it - the problem is on high. I started calling other places, and the Women's Diagnostic Center said they could get me in within the week, but they needed copies of my mammograms to make the appointment. So I called the Polyclinic Breast Center back and their printer was broken so they couldn't give them to me!!! Through a few million more phone calls I finally had my biopsy and now am waiting to hear if I have cancer. I will never go to the Polyclinic for anything again. This is not just bad luck, my doctor says that there have been many problems over the last year, problems they have never had before. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!
Pros: none
Cons: unacceptable wait times (weeks to months) for appointments including once possible cancer is found

I have been going to Green Lake Dentistry for nearly ten years, but the practice recently and unexpectedly changed hands. The transition seems a bit rocky.
When I went for my check up, the new Dentist whom I'd never met before indicated that 4 or 6 of the fillings I'd had done over the past 3-5 years either needed or were going to need replacement soon. I was surprised, particularly since I'd opted for the more expensive composite fillings as I had been told they were expected to last longer than the ones being replaced. Since I'd had the older fillings for 15+ years, needing to have the new ones replaced in as few as 2 years seems questionable.

Nice enough guy, he had another person scheduled the same time as me. I had 3 fillings done, when another root canal was going on across the hall. He rushed me out the door and said he would fix it when I came back. He seems a bit more interested in seeing as many patients as he can than in quality.

I originally went to the UW sleep center after researching sleep doctors online. I went there for the original consult and met with a nurse. She had me watch a video, answered a few questions and then scheduled me for a sleep study.
The study.
The rooms are not comfortable, there is a helicopter that takes off on the other side of the wall, and sheets are motel 6. I also had the experience of having multiple researcher students come in and for questions etc.- it is a research facility after all.
After the study. I heard nothing from neither a doctor nor a nurse. I finally received a call from a scheduling agent telling me to come in to get fitted for a cpap.
At this point I scheduled an appointment with another sleep doctor at another facility- one where I could actually speak to a doctor.

The receptionist was not kind and helpful.
Doctor Fukuda is a very kind person though.
They took extra X-ray without permission.
And the result was terrible.
We changed the dentist after all.

After calling tons of dentists to find an appointment close to the holidays, I finally found this one who was able to get me in that week. They were nice, but it took them a half hour to get done with their chit chat and get started on a routine exam and cleaning. After an hour had gone by they still weren't done with the cleaning. I had to schedule to come back to have the other half of the cleaning done. After another hour of extremely slow work and constant nagging for me to come back for unneccary cosmetic work, I told them I had to go. It was a really creepy experience for me. I wouldn't recommend going here unless you have an emergency and can't get in elsewhere.

I contacted Abigail after many recommendations and assurances that she was "one of the best" to help me with the birth of my second child.
Perhaps she's overwhelmed with clients (and I'm sure she is), but after one meeting the month before my due date, I never heard from her again. Sure, I could have called...but there was no follow up on her end. I guess I expected something different. She also recommended a book that I found absurd (the entire book was "written" in bullet list form) - and I special ordered it for way too much money since it doesn't come from a mainstream publisher.
