I want to say outright for any people who may be looking to receive trans healthcare here to look elsewhere. The woman who was able to competently manage hormones recently moved out of state and the woman who took up the mantle in her stead has done her level best to be a roadblock for my fiancé to get the medication that he needs. I'm lucky enough to have figured out a regimen with the former medical professional and she does a fine enough job with continuing to prescribe what I already had. However. She doesn't seem to understand that she does nothing but harm when pushing back an urgent medication change out of an overabundance of caution means that we're waiting at minimum three months for the next soonest availability to see her. It has been an extremely frustrating time trying to have our needs met. I'd recommend giving telehealth a try if you can. There are so many better trans health doctors to be found in this state. Good luck.

I’ve been living in Washington and using PCHS for 3 years. The level of unprofessionalisim is totally unmatched from anything I’ve seen before. They regularly reschedule appointments even if it’s scheduled 6 weeks in advance. My wife almost died due to their negligence, and when brought to their attention, they didn’t care. DO NOT GO HERE.

Dr Atkinson is an amazing dentist
He made me feel safe and comfortable along with his attendee.
It's been quite a few years since I've gone to the dentist. I've had bad experiences with previous dentists. But Dr Atkinson by far is the best and I will continue to go to him for all my dentist work. The ladies in the office are also amazing. Extremely friendly clean and professional I can't wait to get my teeth cleaned and my cavities filled. thank you very much Dr Atkinson for helping me get my smile back

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU’RE A MENTAL HEALTH PATIENT.

I had gone in for my eating disorder, and had issues with the care team not replying to my insurance with a diagnosis for the prescription. They shifted the blame to my insurance for why the prescription didn’t go through. Then they told me that my eating disorder is “not a critical medical need” and told me they won’t give me a different prescription. They told me to try changing my diet or consulting a counselor, which is what I had been doing for the last five years. And then they told me to try a different doctor. This is how they treat their mental health patients. I have receipts of the conversation and will be reporting it to patient advocacy. I severely do not recommend going to this clinic for any of your medical needs.

I had an easy time scheduling, zero wait time, Dr.Lowe was amazing! She listened to my concerns, health goals and reasoning for wanting to try a new medication. She educated me on all the possible side effects and had extensive blood work done before deciding I would be a great candidate for the med. Nothing but positive things to say about her!

Edit: she listened to me and helped my first appointment but after my insurance stopped covering a medication without a PA she did not help me and basically told me I was SOL. My friend has the same exact insurance and her doctor was able to submit a PA and get it approved within 2 days. I had to find a new doctor in order to get help.

Doctors may be competent, but the phone staff is completely unprofessional and unhelpful. I have spoken to more articulate and helpful people at fast food restaurants than these people.

Don’t ever schedule with CLAUDIA SLOAN. She was very rude and unprofessional.

In a terrible medical experience, the nurse just needed to do a simple blood draw, but she stirred in my arm with a needle. The second blood draw even dropped the needle on the ground, picked it up and continued to be used for me. This is completely wrong, very unhygienic. Now I have a large bruise on my arm and some small wounds. I feel hurt.
