The Best 21 highly rated medical facilities near Lakewood, WA

Maria Martinez Excellent service, very kind people who serve, thank you for helping those who need it.

Katalynn Isamelia Dr. Gu has been my doctor for years and hopefully for many more to come. IDK how he does it, but he takes time to listen to you, he is very thorough, hes kind, and keeps the clinic on a schedule. When I come in for an appointment, Im always seen on time. Hes been such a great doctor for me, my son is now seeing him, too.

stephanie brooks Dr. Gu is a very thorough. Hes very pleasant. He listens to me so that we can address my symptoms and treat me accordingly. Its hard to find a doctor like him.

denise33 He listens, answers questions, and gives referrals appropriately. I am a senior and he really understands the needs of elder people. I have nothing but positive words for Dr. Yilei Gu.

alan christensen I like Dr. Gu. He is easy to communicate with.

Scott Moncrief Dr Leng is an amazing doctor & his staff has always gone out of their way to help out whenever any issues arose from my insurance company & complex medical history. They have gone above & beyond what one could hope for from their doctors office. They pushed forward & took the extra steps needed to make sure that I received the proper care & attention that was needed while fighting Labor & industries as well as with Social Security where as other doctors had given up because they were overwhelmed or just didn’t want to put in the work that was needed. I am eternally grateful for all that they have done over the years which is why I will continue to refer all of my family & friends to his office

JESSE STACEY There are not enough lines for me to tell you how amazing Dr. Vuthy leng is, Dr leng is the best doctor there is, this isnt an opinion but a fact, he truly cares about his patients and the people around him first, I cant list the endless things he has helped me and my family with, i am truly thankful,, Dr leng will always be me and my familys doctor.... From the time you walk through the door and get the chance to meet his amazing staff, Nancy or lily, or anyone else, they will get you in promptly and always get you in as soon as possible, make you feel welcome at all times. Thank you, to the whole team....

Rick Betancourt DR. Leng is an amazing doctor, he is compassionate and truly cares about his patients. He will actually listen to your concerns and tries to come up with the best plan for you and your health issues. I’m very happy with the care he provides and know he has my best interest at heart.

Nick DeCato Dr. Leng is the most personable and caring PCP I have ever gone to - and hopefully, the only one my family or I will see moving forward. Cannot recommend him, or his staff, highly enough ND

He did ¡T I can’t say enough about the faculty and staff at Family Medicine. I can tell you that in my experience the staff has been very accommodating. A standup group of people extending genuine courtesy that has become rare if not lost in the field of medicine today. Thank you.. Williams, Leon

Sue Meland I have had five or so surgeries and this experience was excellent from the minute we arrived to the time we left! Dr Ghidella, the anesthesiologist Dr Hoyt, and the nursing teams were great and explained things clearly. Thank you for making surgical procedure (albeit minor) comfortable and easy!

Melisa Rader Everyone there made me feel safe and comfortable. Dr. Vercio explained everything he was going to do and put me at ease. Nurses and the anesthesiologist were great.

sarah long My husband had knee surgery here today and everyone was wonderful! Dr.Vaughn is very nice and informative. We LOVED our nurses, Chrissy and Kristie. They made my husband (and myself) feel so comfortable. They were warm, friendly, helpful and had a great beside manner (good sense of humor). Thank you so much! We highly recommend this business.

Bret Clauson Just had a hand surgery preformed by Dr Alan Thomas. The whole experience starting with the check in to the checkout was done in such a way that kept my anxiety levels in check. Dr Thomas has a very positive and uplifting personality and his staff also emulate the same energy. I would highly recommend Lakewood Surgery Center!

Beverley Conover My experience at Lakewood Surgery Center was outstanding! The Staff was the best. From the minute that I walked thru the door I felt welcomed. Dr Martins rating is a 10. He made me feel relaxed as he explained everything, step by step while doing the procedure. Thank you all. BC

Bernadette Blakeney It was packed there, but everything was flowing smoothly. I was way early and they saw me before my appointment time!! I was out of there with a boot from the cast. No surgery. kind staff w clean facility. doc and staff were super!!

Liz Cepanec Dr D’Heurle was personable and professional. I appreciated that his approach in general is cautious vs aggressive. He explained options and what to expect depending on the choice of treatment I opted for. Docs should be good listeners and easy to talk with. He is.

Melvin Nottle He found I didnt have a cyst in my hip. He was very understanding about how disappointing this was. I hoped when they got the cyst out my right hip would get strength back and the pain would be gone. from my leg. He has me going to physical therapy now for 6 weeks. He felt this would really help me get strength back into my leg. He found I have arthritis and compress disk on my spine. Plus my sciatica is also causing my pain. He was very knowledgeable in. his field. Very friendly and impressionable. I would recommend anyone looking for a hip Dr, to Try Dr. dHeurle.

Nancy McMillan I have had great experiences with Puget Sound Orthopedics in the past and this recent visit with Dr d’Huerle was no exception. He is kind, gentle, took the time to explain my diagnosis and X rays and the treatment options. I felt very comfortable in his care and while I hope the injection in my knee takes care my knee issue would not hesitate to see him again for future issues. Highly recommend!

Bradley James Im reading other peoples reviews and cant believe that we saw the same doctor. The Albert Dheurle that I met with was rushed, condescending, impatient and rude. After waiting 2 weeks for an appointment our interaction was less than 3 minutes total in which he determined that the person who diagnosed my knee pain previously was wrong and that I just need to do some stretches instead. He didnt ask any questions about the pain or its history and seemed annoyed when I tried to explain what had been going on. He made me feel like I was wasting his time.

Erin Pope My husband had surgery here and was in a lot of pain in the recovery room. David was an incredible nurse and stepped in to take care of him and advocate for him. He also checked in with me and made sure I was comfortable as well. His empathy was such a gift. Give this man a raise!! It’s reassuring to know my husband had an excellent surgeon and also received top notch nursing care thanks to David. Truly a 10/10 human being.

Cari Page I had shoulder surgery (bicep tenodesis) with Dr. Heffernan just over two years ago. Im a nurse who injured her shoulder at work and I had two tears-the bicep tear and a labral tear. The pain, which had been continuous for over a year by the time surgery was done, was directly where the labral tear was, but Dr. Heffernan felt that the pain was originating from the shoulder and didnt feel that a labral repair was needed, particularly since it would limit my range of motion. I agreed and trusted his expertise. Im so glad I did! Two years out and I havent had pain since the repair healed and my ROM is perfect. It took awhile to recover, but it was totally worth it, no more pain! Besides his judgement being on point, Dr. Heffernan has good bedside manners, particularly for a surgeon, haha. I deal with doctors on the regular and many have horrible bedside manners. Not so with this doc. Granted, he didnt seem to find me as amusing as I do (lol) but thats fine. Only issue I ever had was with the nurse who put in my IV for the surgery having an attitude problem when I asked her not to put the IV in my hand (I have a long history of failed IVs in my hands, I have a bazillion valves in there apparently) but everyone else was amazing. Highly recommend Puget Sound Ortho and will definitely go back if I ever have more problems.

Laney Peterson My experiences have always been positive!!! Great doctors and staff. Can’t praise them enough. I highly recommend and if I could give more stars, I certainly would!! ❤️

Terry Boggan My experience at Puget Sound Orthopedics was pleasant and the staff is very attentive. I did not have to wait long to be seen like one would in a hospital or an emergency room, but instead, once I was checked in, I was seen by Dr. Robert Vercio rather promptly. I would highly recommend that anyone who is seeking to set a doctors appointment, and want to experience a high level of professionalism, set an appointment with Puget Sound Orthopedics.

Danielle Dickinson Dr. Heffernan has been an exceptional orthopedic doctor in my time working with him. He has presented consistent treatment plans with potential outcomes clearly defined. His bedside manner is excellent and I always feel like I have a solid plan for treatment and pain management when I leave.

Humble Guru Dr Lee has been my primary care for as long as Ive been alive. The clinic has changed over the years but for the better. Friendly staff and convenient scheduling

K K Dr. Lee and his staff are the best. Always there when needed and never a problem getting appointments at the last minute.

Jung Chris “akasoccer” First visit with Dr. Lee, he is very soft spoken and a very good doctor.

Corie Cameron My appointment was so easy to schedule, easy to get to, and easy to get in and out. I was literally in the waiting room for less than three minutes after checking in, and in and out of the actual mammogram within ten minutes. They’re SO easy, efficient, friendly, clean, and easy. Nothing to be scared of at all!

M L The facility was clean, the reception staff friendly, but what made this facility stand out was the technician, Irina. She completely alleviated my claustrophobia by offering a soft cloth to cover my eyes before being moved into the tube, adding bolsters and padding to ease the pain. What an awesome technician! The place to go!

Arlene I always prefer TRA over providers in a system such as MultiCare and Virginia Mason Franciscan in Pierce County WA. No waits for phone scheduling, no rude staff, never had a wait. Knowledgeable and patient technicians. All these qualities are lacking with the other two health care systems mentioned above.

Lindsay Jackson Excellent experience, minus check-in because using the app did not help avoid the line that stretched outside for 8am appointments. Everyone was kind and helpful and my imaging appointment was truly painless, so my only complaint was a slightly inefficient arrival.

Darlene Barros-Vasquez Tr a medical imaging in Lakewood. Washington is the best place ive ever been to for a mammogram. They are friendly, fast,very helpful and I recommend them to everybody.

Heather Hasse Dr. Walton listens to her patients, and understands as we age we have health issues. Dr.Walton explains everything in detail and doesn’t just push me out the door. Past doctors spend 2-5 minutes but she cares enough to listen and address any concerns i have about my health. I appreciate her kindness and her knowledge.

Raymond Power Great doctor! Very knowledgeable, kind and understanding.

Amber Lafave Im a new patient. My first visit was great. She listened to my ramblings. She was very knowledgeable to my complaints. Im looking forward to our medical jourmey.

Denise Stevens She treated me for anxiety when my heart was dieing. Lucky to be alive.

TJ Gonzales No problem with medical care, but with BILLING! Two times where CHI Franciscan did not bill BOTH my medical health insurance on file even though the clinic scanned both health insurance cards and both cards were on MyChart! 1 Bill took over 1 year to resolve when none of my health insurances werent billed at all. Now another bill of $30 went into collections although it was hospital/staff error for not billing my childrens secondary insurance on file. Getting help with medical billing sounds like a 3rd party from another country each time, I even responded to messages on MyChart regarding my issues with no luck. Called the collections agency and CHI Franciscan didnt pull back their error. Still trying to resolve this issue.

Nadia Coughran All my medical needs are managed at this clinic. The staff are wonderful and caring.

Alexander B Very Friendly office staff. It’s clean and taken care of. The nursing staff and Dr. Duran are great. It’s my first visit but was very pleased with the care.

Amy Cortez I absolutely love this office. Everything is clean and neat. The staff are friendly.

LUCY 65 Clean,friendly environment. Took a walk around the grounds while my husband was having a procedure done. Beautiful

Native One Not much wait time. VA very helpful. Care is very good. What I. Dont like is waiting on the phone , sometimes for an Hour to speak to someone. This a problem for many Veterans. I recently had a Stroke, in the last 2 days have spent approx. 5 hours on hold, very frustrating. Overall ,besides that. Once you get to see the right care giver, care is very good. Though sometimes frustrating. I commend all care givers for their service.

P J So far, the VA has helped me think better due to counseling. They help keep my system under control with the proper meds and prosthetics. They helped me not pass out by installing a pacemaker. And they saved my life when I had cancer. While no system is perfect, the American Lake VA has been a great help in keeping me alive and active. I caught this poster today. If you need a service dog, contact them.

MT Clontz Had an appointment at the optical clinic. Check in was easy, the ladies were right on top of their job. Had a seat and waited to get called back. Got the check up finished And picked up my eye drops and was on my way home. Was a great experience. Thank you.

Byron Jones The personal is very helpful. If you ask a person and they didnt know the answer they we get a person who will be able to answer your questions or show you were you are suppose to go. Plus I seen the VA person escorted them to the place. Im happy to say that the people Ive talked with were mostly happy to receive it. As you all know you wont be able to please everyone. But the VA personal I have noticed seam to always smiling this helps the the people with bad moods to be more joyful and smile them self The smile is very contagious.

Bill Gish I am 73, and Ive never had a better experience with a doctor in my life. Dr. Regimbal never speaks down to me, always listens to me, and explains what and why he recommends a particular course of treatment. He never seems in a rush to move on to the next patient. His office staff are helpful and polite, and I have never had to wait long for an appointment.

James Scott Great doctor, takes his time and doesnt rush, while, also never keeps us waiting very long.

P Very friendly and helpful people that work there.

Karen Williamson Serves my needs

Heather W Dr. Vo is wonderful once you get to see him. However getting medications refilled or anything like that is beyond frustrating. I am often waiting a week or more for refills. Idk if its his staff or him... but its ridiculous

Michon Cruz Dunn Ive been a patient of his for over 5 yrs Dr.Vo and Nurse Stephanie truly do care for their patients on a personal and very professional manner. Thank you for providing the health care that is in the best interest for myself and my family!!

QB USELESS!!!! Why become a doctor when you dont actually want to treat patients who are actually needing care??? You should not have become a doctor!!! The only reason you got 1 star is because there is no option to not leave any!! USELESS!!!!

Claire Johnson When I came in to Dr.vos office , of course I was nervous, but when he came in the room,and started telling me what could be going on. And why he thinks and showed me on my body. And wanted test, for this and test for that. I sher felt better and safer bie the time we were done.thank you Dr.Vo see you later to day I think.!! Claire j.

Weisbeck Amy I love Dr. Vo… he ALWAYS gives the best care and listens. He shows you how to fix problems, not with a pill.

Lisa Goodwin Dr Jessy Ang is such a great Dr! Its hard to find a good Dr he really does care for his patients, we moved from Lakewood hes my husband PCP my hubby wanted to stay with Dr Ang and eventhough we barely see him hes always been very professional and compassionate towards his patients we will make that drive just to see Dr. Ang!! Highly Recommend Dr. Jessy Ang as your PCP!!

Stewie Milton Had surgery clearance done here and it’s been over a month and they have not fwd that information to my surgeon.. the lack of professionalism in taking care of a simple task to clear a patient for surgery is appalling. I do not recommend anyone to get any important labs done here as they do not take care of needs in a timely manor and when you call to express your concern they will promise a call back and never call. They don’t even return phone calls from the surgeon who needs the information.

George Viena Great person and crew! Professional and listens to what you have to say, then addressees the issue.

Leaella Swan Dr.Jessy Ang Jr he is a wonderful dr he takes the time to listen to your concerns he make sure the medical decision that he makes is best for you and your health and longtime care not like some other doctors Ive dealt with in the past that just gives you a Band-Aid and send you on your way because youre all better today he has definitely looked out for my well-being in the future not only the here and now hes super awesome and very caring and his nurse was very kind and caring also they will always make time to fit you in .

Adam Tuttle Friendly, thoughtful, concise, helpful.

Shelley Lee Doctor listened to me. Was a 1st visit with this - new to me PCP @ KP, clearly he had reviewed my chart, Dx, Tx, POC, meds were gone over including OTC, I was very happy with his presentation and interest in my health and well being. I LIKE the new check list after care paperwork. I would recommend Dr. Akadri MD.

Carolyn Mcclain What i dont like is my doctor is no longer working here and I would like to stay here. But there or no more doctor s here that taking new patients so I may have to take my medical insurance some where else because that was the best doctor I ever had in my life. One that listen to me and not talk at me. I may have to find out where she moved to if I dont hurry up and get another doctor in this office soon.

Brenda Wilson Pharmacy staff was not concerned with my needs. I use inhalers to regulate my breathing. My new prescription requires insurance approval. I totally understand that. But when I told them I was completely out and to help me breathe and hold me over until new prescription was approved I was requesting to fill my old prescription which was just canceled less than one hour at my doctors appointment. Was told there was nothing they can do for me and there was no empathy to my situation. I left very upset and concerned for my health which was not displayed by tech nor pharmacist.

Brad Arica I love going to this office. I love Dr Egge, she is honest, caring and listens with a passion to do the right thing for the patients. The pharmacy was amazing and fast.

debbie V It was very simple if you use the app to check in, It was very quick, with very minimal waiting. Everyone was very friendly from the Front desk, to the check in nurse and even to the Lab technician . Of Course the Dr was great and had a professional bedside manner.

Mitchell gorden Clearly not taking new patients even tho their website says they are. They can gladly schedule you an appointment for next year. WHO schedules an appointment that far out. I’m not going to be sick a year from now

Nancy White Dr. Walton has been my PCP for 13 years or so. She is a very good listener and understands what I’m trying to explain. I always feel well supported. If she still has questions, then I’m referred to a specialist for additional evaluation. I appreciate her attention to me as her patient.

Sharon Klumpenhower Overall, I think the Lakewood clinic and Dr. Haley are great. But a few small details keep me from giving it a star rating. For example, the after-visit summary had an inaccurate weight and the MyChart notes included findings that werent done during this visit. I think a little more care needs to be given to accuracy of details.

Vicki Hamberg I just really love my Doctor. Shes compassionate, genuine, and sincerely cares about my well-being. If I dont understand something, she takes the time to explain what it means. I couldnt have a better Doctor, shes amazing!

trina schneider I had gotten in a pretty bad car accident and went to the urgent care. They barely gave me the time of day. So I went to Dr. Dawson and she was amazing she addressed every concern it had. She helped come up with a game plan to get me back to work. She and her nurse are caring and efficient. They are the best!

Lisa Palmer I would give this clinic with Dr Wilson and his wife a zero star.

Roseanne M Huge hospital. Make sure you pay attention to where you park. Staff was kind and helpful.

Sandra Clevenger An excellent hospital great doctors, nurses, and surgeons. The food at the dfac is good too.

Zak Kinsley My friend broke her ankle and was cussing in the hall so they wanted to put her in a room with nothing in it after they put us in the hallway.

Devon Ellis Front desk and nurses are polite and inviting each visit. When speaking to the practitioners, I feel like the sincerely care about helping me achieve better health. Ive had the opposite experience at many other offices.

Anaiah Versher My sister, went to a doctor appointment scheduled with Iliana Micali she’s rude and she did not listen to her patient. She over prescribed my sister with 5 different medications that she did not feel comfortable taking, while not listening to her needs. I don’t think this is a good doctor she was fat shaming my sister, no one deserves to be treated like this especially at a doctors appointment TWICE

Eurydice Fitz Dr. Akhila Krishnakumar is safe for LQBTQIA+ people. I have been trying to get help with my fibromyalgia for years and its hard to do as a trans man. I finally got a referral for PT and Im so blessed that is was to see Dr. Krishnakumar. She has amazing bedside manor, is extremely knowledgeable, and is very passionate about her job. Me being trans wasnt handled as if it was just another day at work and I appreciate that so much. If you need physical therapy, she is the best I have even gotten the pleasure to meet.

Mara Gimse The receptionist was nice, everything else was not. They had two nurses taking my vitals and asking me questions at the same time (which was very overwhelming). The doctor was talking over/interrupting me while I was answering her questions. I came in for my first physical since COVID happened so I’ve been looking forward to getting a check up. They weighed me, took my pulse, blood pressure… and that’s it. They said they couldn’t address concerns during this appointment, even though my concerns were about my heart. Didn’t take my height, said they were going to do labs and had me wait 15 minutes to come tell me their lab is actually closed (at 4pm on a Tuesday??). My appointment was at 4pm, I arrived at 3:20pm to fill out forms. They seemed SO rushed, I was out of the office by 4:15. I will not be coming back here or to ANY SeaMar because of this experience.

H Dr. Micali took a personal, non-emergency phone call in the middle of my appointment and proceeded to have a whole conversation with the jewelry department at Fred Meyer. She rushed me through the rest of the appointment because there was no time after her personal phone call. Because of this she was unable to perform a proper examination and I was forced to make an appointment at a different location in order to receive care. I would also like to point out that there are signs all over this facility asking patients to stay off their cell phones, although they say nothing about the doctors, I think it should apply to them too.

John Jasper I have been seeing them for over 12 yrs. and I love the professionals that work there. Sometimes it does take a bit to get in but with as many patients as they try to help thats to be expected. Its happened at every good medical facility Ive ever been in. The staff are very courteous and professional. I wouldnt want to go anywhere else. They have walk ins and appoinments that I really like. The aides and nurses are exceptionally nice. Wonderful Doctors Office.

Sjd_ Vids Was given this doctor as a PCP, and contacted them to schedule an appointment. On the phone, I was given the impression that the staff didnt care much, or was incompetent. Went to my first appointment anyways, at the address given. Entered the clinic all the way on Bridgeport Way (it was a drive for me) and went up to the office to discover the office was locked. Went to a neighboring office, and was told that this was a frequent problem, and then I was warned about using this provider. The receptionist for that office literally told me that I should find another doctor, and that we werent the only ones having issues, and that if we kept her, there would be way more. But, SHE gave me the address 8 miles away that Dr. Molleston apparently moved to. Go to this address, and its a shady location to begin with. Walk in, and were promptly greeted with incompetence from the receptionist and a RN. Theres absolutely no visible licensing or certifications. They did, however, have visible Jesus photos all over the office. When we asked about talking to someone about the way we were treated, we were told they would ask an admin--- but they never did. We waited 45 minutes in the waiting room past the appointment time before we gave up and decided that it wasnt worth it. During that 45 minutes, I listened to the RN advise a heart attack patient over the phone (advice that shouldnt be given, period) and then hang up and make fun of him with the receptionist. This doctor is SHADY, and were currently in the process of lodging two complaints against her, now.

Michael Marstrom Although the nursing staff was prompt and polite. Dr Molleston shows little respect for my symptoms and time. I have been a patient for nearly a year and I have never been seen at my appointment time. On average I see Dr Molleston an hour after my scheduled appointment. When she does see me my visit lasts approximately 3 minutes. I was referred to her back up doctor and he treated me in the same manner. He did not appear to hear any of my complaints, just looked at the medical chart and wrote a prescription. I felt very dehumanized. I wish they would see me as a real person rather than a cadaver in a gross anatomy class! DO NOT GO TO THIS CLINIC UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPEND SEVERAL HOURS OF YOUR DAY THERE AND BE TREATED LIKE A CASH MACHINE!

Sean I have consistently waited well over an hour after my appointment times to be seen. I had to return 3 times, following 3 blood draws to check for liver function due to the appropriate box not being marked. I was told I would get a call re: the last draw to inform me of my results..Never got the call..I got news that I have degenerative disk and joint disease but was not offered any suggestions for treatment. I find the staff all to be quite engaging and kind, but the care is definately something to be seen. Perhaps due to the significant drug user/ methadone/suboxone population that a client not suffering those issues is still treated as an addict...I got an x-ray of my knee and the results were sent immediately to Dr. Joy....I never got a phone call for me to come in and discuss the result...2 months passed and nothing..I reluctantely made the appointment...I will be transfering to a new doctor ASAP...I was not cared for other than great personalities..the care is by far the worst I have ever had....I was heard(maybe) but not listened to...Dont waste your time or your money.. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

fay Deang My dads PCP is Joy Ruiz-Molleston from May 2016- September2016 but every time he comes in he dont see dr.joy majority of his visit he saw her PA who also lacks on interest in my dads health issue, my dad has been complaining about loosing weight in a span of 2-3 months hed lost 15-18lbs unintentionally but doctor ignored him, when he visited Doctor in June his weight was 158lbs then July 148lbs then August 143lbs. They also knew that my dad has hepatitis and they fail to treat that or even get him referred to a specialist. They dont listen to their patient all they do is keep on prescribing medication instead of taking time to check on the roots and resolve problem from there. We decided to switch my dads PCP November 2016 but it was already too late, the reason hes loosing weight drastically is because he had cirrhosis that lead to liver cancer my dad pass May 2017. When we switched my dad to the new PCP his doctor found out from the very first blood test during my dads first visit that his liver enzymes were elevated and on February they had done ultrasound and MRI confirming large tumors in his stomach, his liver is already enlarged if it werent from this new doctor we dont know how much longer my dad wouldve suffer and how much longer we will find out that my dad is terminally sick if he stayed in the care of Dr.Molleston. She dont have compassion with her patients and she doesnt take her profession seriously. All of my family were assigned to Dr.Molleston as her PCP but luckily we havent started seeing her and after what had happened to my dad we all switch to this amazing doctor. We are not going entrust our health to this doctor. And I definitely DO NOT recommend her to anybody.
