Gabrielle Lita I established care at this location this summer, having barely been leaving a DV relationship.
One of my main concerns is ALWAYS my mental health. I’ve just started intensive therapy; but it’s never been a secret.
I’ve been trying to coordinate psychiatry at Sea Mar, where I do therapy. Unfortunately, referrals don’t always get sent, and that is what I have been dealing with. My mental health support there has been phenomenal otherwise; but last time I was given a refill on my SSRI/mental health medication, the doctor I have been seeing here at the Franciscan family medicine clinic said that she will no longer do so.
I understand the sentiment. Truly. It is still highly uneducated and inappropriate. My “primary care physician” is entirely fine with me ending up hospitalized so I can continue taking my medication, when I have attempted multiple times to get it going. I requested refills 4 days ago, now I am ENTIRELY out with no recourse.
I want to be completely transparent here; I WILL become suicidal without my medication. If I ended up ending my life due to Dr.D and her staff refusing to give a patient with mental health their NECESSARY medication, I would really hate to be involved in that lawsuit.
Don’t waste your time, especially if you have any kind of mental health. They will literally let you suffer for things entirely outside of your control; and they have absolutely no consideration for the gravity of having ZERO mental health medications COLD TURKEY when you have literally attempted on your life multiple times.
I will be contacting corporate, this is just one business in a string of many who are going to make or break someone’s recovery and that is absolutely disgusting. So much for “patient centered care”.. yall are actually a joke.

Barb Sheldon In my opinion, this is the worst doctors office you can possibly go to in Puyallup. This business should be shut down. They have five plus years of negative comments, and I cannot believe they are still open for business. My son has been going there for 3 years and they have not done anything for him but cancel appointments and not answer the phone. None of the referrals were good only bad fax numbers. Promises of calls back, waiting 2 to 3 months out for appointments, it truly is a joke. BBB where are you??? Were switching doctors tomorrow morning.

Delicia Church The doctors are excellent but the front desk and referrals are unhelpful and are the cause delays in medical treatment. I suggest a different clinic.

Katie Murry Had my first appointment with Dr. Gianotto today and I am so impressed! I was prepared to have my symptoms not taken seriously like I have at other places, but she immediately asked follow up questions and went to work trying to figure out this puzzle. Talking with a dr who actually wants to help you figure out what’s going on is such a breath of fresh air. This appointment made me feel like I’m in good hands.
