Looking for a primary care physician. Notice that there are her docs in this area who are affiliated with different groups such as Swedish, Pacific Medical and University of Washington. Would like to know of your experience with these various groups, which ones generally have the best quality doctors, administrative staff, facilities etc. Thanks!

There is also Group Health, Evergreen, and Virginia Mason. I'm only familiar with Swedish, UW and Group Health, but we have never had any problems with any of them. We usually use Swedish now, and are very happy with them and the many offices and new hospital close to us on the eastside. I won't recommend my GP, not because there's anything wrong with his skills, but because I always schedule his first appointment of the day and he always shows up 15-20 minutes late.

Had good care in general with Swedish, but it took longer to get an appointments and felt more "big business" medicine than Polyclinic (not mentioned in your post), which had good primary care with thorough assessments and a more relaxed vibe.


Might be an option worth looking into:

I've been happy with PacMed. I really like my Primary care Dr. there and when I have needed to see a specialist I got right in. Also they seem to be very organized and proactive. I have had a mixed experience with Virginia Mason.

We've always used Evergreen because we're in Woodinville but I hear good things about them all.

I would look at the Polyclinic, which has branches around the region. Their docs have privileges at most of the local hospitals. https://polyclinic.com/
