"NP Thomas is the best. Shes been my mothers provider since 2015. I went to an appointment with her and was so impressed I changed my insurance to something they accepted just so I could see NP Thomas."
— Review via Loc8NearMe"I had an appointment scheduled for February 17, 2025... I received a call today, saying to call back to 253-839-2030 to re schedule. I have been calling all morning and I just get a busy tone every time."
— Review via Beautihost"Lots of unprofessional behavior, including the phone scheduler who kept putting me on hold, to the condescending receptionist... and the absolutely pathetic bedside manner of both the nurse and the doctor."
