Priority Care at PeaceHealth Cordata Main Clinic - Bellingham (WA)

3 /5 Christine Dern: Usually I have good experiences here. Wait time can vary depending on time of day and how many patients are in. Doctors tend to be pretty good though once seen. Recently I stopped by after a full day of working because my PCP is out of town and I waited in line to check in, watched someone get checked in then was brought to the front. I was asked what I needed to be see for. After telling her I was told they took their last patient for the day. The hours online say 8pm and this was at 6:15pm. I think it’s reasonable to update your hours because that’s nowhere close to 8pm and I wouldn’t have bothered if I knew you stopped seeing patients at that time of the day.

1 /5 gracie yael: Worst urgent care in Bellingham by far. Almost always a very long wait, and not a single friendly or kind face in the building. I waited for two hours (not unheard of for urgent care, and not entirely their fault! High volume of illnesses going around. It was just unpleasant for how sick I was) and every employee was rude and short with me from start to finish, despite my attempts to be friendly and patient about everything. I wouldnt say they go out of their way to be deliberately unkind; there was no Massive incident of hostility. But the general lack of warmth or sensitivity in the environment is just really off-putting and unwelcoming, and Ive visited this location multiple times before with the same results. The receptionist yelled at me to come back to finish checking in when I set my bag down, mid-fever, and unsure if I was done at the counter because she stopped fully stopped engaging. The interaction felt complete- so I got confused for a moment. Even though that was my mistake/misunderstanding, the tone felt unnecessarily harsh. The nurse seemed inexperienced, unfriendly, and only listened to/wrote down maybe 3 of the many symptoms I listed, so I had to reexplain everything to the doctor- when I have laryngitis & strep throat, so it hurts to speak at all. They then sent my prescription to the wrong pharmacy, after clarifying with me multiple times which one I wanted it to go to. I hardly ever write reviews, let alone a negative one, but this visit turned me off completely to ever coming back to this location. Its pretty upsetting to go to a medical facility, while obviously ill and uncomfortable, verge of tears from exhaustion, and not get a single kind eye from any employee for hours. Maybe try hiring someone with some charisma.

1 /5 Meadow Keep: Worst health care ever received. The doctors schedule visits months in advance, have you confirm them a few days before, and then cancel anyway with no apology or alternative solution other than waiting for another several months. They do not follow duty of care, and will not help you medically once you are seen... if you have the tenacity to keep rescheduling. They fraudulently charge for services not provided, and up-code to make more money (i.e. insurance fraud). The system needs a major overhaul. The admin is incompetent or malicious. The doctors are tired and dismissive of patients. If you have a chronic condition, good luck getting anyone to help. Honestly most of the doctors there should retire because they are doing more harm than good. Im sure beaten down, by a rotten system. In the last five years, I have never once had an original appointment honored. Very unprofessional. Of course these things happen occasionally, but every time? Unacceptable. What is most frustrating is the lack of notice or care in the cancellation. Usually cancelled on within 48 hours or less of the appointment (i.e. it has already been confirmed in the system). I have even shown up to an appointment and been turned away to reschedule. They didnt bother even calling me. From this supposed health care provider, the lack of both health and care is astonishing. Bellingham deserves better. Avoid if you can!

5 /5 Danika Miedema: Caught a terrible sickness a week ago and missed work for a week. Wasn’t going away on its own so I went to get it checked out. Dr. Frank was so nice and understanding. He listened to my concerns and was able to provide breathing treatments for my asthma to help. He didn’t rush me and made sure I was happy with the care before seeing another patient. I am usually dismissed quickly by the Squalicum urgent care but not Cordata. Thank you Frank and the super nice nursing staff. Even got a nebulizer panda bear to bring home.

5 /5 Dominic Madden: Surprised about all the negative reviews. I had a foot injury and was missing work. Finally decided to get it looked at by a doctor. My health insurance had just expired so I was a bit hesitant..... but wow! The main Doc Leslie was amazing, and so were the nurses and receptionists. Overall a pleasant experience despite the circumstances. They seemed decently busy, the lobby was mostly full, but I was seen in under an hour. Would def recommend as the best urgent care Ive been to in Whatcom County. Thank you :)
