The clinic’s support staff and healthcare team are often described as friendly, helpful, and prompt, making the experience smooth and reassuring. However, some reviews highlight areas for improvement, such as long wait times, with one patient waiting over 20 minutes in the waiting room and additional time before being seen. There are also concerns about feeling judged when requesting pain medication, with some feeling their pain is not fully understood or respected. Despite these issues, most patients leave feeling satisfied with the overall care and attention they receive at Swedish Pine Lake Primary Care.
I was appalled at how long I waited to be seen. Over 20 minutes in the waiting room, then at least 15 minutes in the room, before being seen, even for a blood pressure.
After waiting that long, I had 3 people in the room with me, which I approved beforehand. The student came in first, asked lots of questions, then dutifully reported back to Wenjii Song. Another 10 minutes or so and Wenjii, the student and her supervisor all crowded into the room. After more questions and physical testing, I was sent for x-rays. I also had to remind them to retake my blood pressure as it was high when first taken. WOW!
I would like to just say also, that I am made to feel guilty...read full review
What a pleasant, efficient and professional team of doctor, nurse, co-ordinator & other staff! I am so pleased to have Dr. Janani Kidambi as my newly assigned primary physician with all her team. She asked important questions and referred me to needed specialists and other providers alleviating my concerns for finding needed care as a newly arrived WA resident. Thank you Swedish Pine Lake Issaquah! I am ao blessed!
Dr. Janani Kidambi is the primary care provider for all of my extended family members and me since last many years. She is the great doctor, who carefully listens, explains, and advises on health issues. She prescribes medications after a lots of study and understanding of individual patient needs. Very soft spoken, approachable, and understanding nature of her makes patients quickly comfortable with her, placing very good trust in her, and feel being in good hands.
