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.

Terrible. Arrogant, presumptuous, and worst of non-informed. There is a time and place to admit something is beyond your medical expertise and in the setting of an ED not everything can be fixed. Ignoring symptoms and not treating them knowing the etiology is negligent. This doctor will happily dismiss demean and ridicule anyone who dares challenge his lack of knowledge. It’s easy to have a god-complex when your setting fractures and ordering work ups for what is obvious and immediately fixable. This doctor has zero compassion or patience, I strongly suggest requesting another physician should you be assigned Paul Doetsch at Swedish ED Issaquah.
