The Best 15 MEDICAL SERVICES near Bellingham, WA

Julie Hatch Dr. Stackhouse is really great. I was immediately at ease with him. He explained my issues in a direct and comprehensive manner. He was confident without being arrogant, and I felt that he really cares about me as a person.

April Dawn I had a great appointment today with Dr. Verneuil. He listed well and treated me both professionally and with kindness. I didnt feel dismissed or looked down on as I have felt with many doctors. He was great at explaining my medical situation and giving me various options as to how to move forward. Our appointment felt collaborative, and I left feeling empower with information and tools to improve my health.

David Baily Ive been to an assortment of differnt Drs, and have never recieved this great of treatment. Ive was very fortunate to get her as my Dr. And their staff there are above and beyond helpful in any circumstances. I would highly recommend this medical center to anyone that is afraid of Drs this is the place. Even getting my blood drawn was the easier and less of a fear. Thanks to their new flobotomy lab. Thank you for making the Dr. Office not so scary.

sunny Great doctor all around but good luck trying to get a hold of their office. I was waiting on the phone for 30+ minutes just to see if I could schedule an appointment!

Cher Martin convenient to bus line, several different businesses in the building, sandwich and coffee counter.

Martha Benedict The infusion RN’s were both skilled and caring. Kudos to them! The Cancer Center is warm and inviting.

Linda Harkleroad Great nurses, doctors and helpful administrators. Biggest complaint is the under staffed pharmacy. Many times waiting over an hour for meds to mixed and delivered. This is while the patient is in the chair hooked up to iv. Need to do better.

Sara Borges Some of the females here like Wendy and Cheryl deserve gold stars. They made huge impacts on my life and went above and beyond to make things work for me. I am so blessed to have them in my life today. Im going on 20 long weeks there and they actually treat me like im human not a number. Highly recommend..

Grady Smith Very good service and flexible scheduling while I was getting my wound vac dressing changed for about two months. The staff is more than helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating.

Redwood T Im really happy to be a patient here. This was an excellent experience from making the appointment to leaving the visit. I appreciate that they have a lab on-site so I dont have to go somewhere else for a blood draw. I feel that I was really cared for here, from everyone I met, that the doctor really cares about my health, and it was the first time in a long time where I felt like a doctor actually listened to me instead of trying to rush me out the door.

Lauren Benjamin We were visiting family here from Florida and our daughter had a cough that was getting worse and we needed to get it checked out before flying home. Everyone here was so kind from the front desk, our medical assistant who took my daughter’s vitals (I can’t remember her name I’m so sorry - but she had brown hair and was tall!) our Xray tech who helped a 3 year old stay still long enough to check her lungs (Lori I think was her name??) and our PA Syndii who was so sweet! They had trouble finding our insurance (based in Florida) but took the time to help us find more info on it and were able to use it. Also, the Lollipops in the lobby were excellent bribery for a 3 year old lol! Thank you all so much!

Jill Silva I just met Dr. Fox myself on Tuesday and he was very polite and wanted to know what I wanted to work on as far as my health. Between the two of us we came up with a plan that I felt very comfortable with. He is not pushy in any way. I look forward to having him help me achieve my health goals.

Dillon Weems I like my doctor, the doctor is not a problem. But the charges are a bit egregious. I went in because I had a sore throat, she looked at my throat with a flashlight and said I likely dont have strep. I agree, I didnt have strep. However, the charge for simply looking at my throat for 10 seconds and chatting about it was $288! Why am I being charged that much for 15 minutes of time and flashlight shine? The mychart said it was a moderate decision making process. It took 12 seconds and no testing for a nah your good. That should be low, if even that. Hopefully that charge gets reduced, Id love to change this from a 2 to a 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.

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.

Terra West After smashing my hip with a 40 pound piece of concrete and being an excruciating pain, I waited in the lobby for 5 1/2 hours to be seen after they told me 2 hours.Only to have the doctor, tell me “you have bones in your hips and sometimes when you bump them, it hurts” and to write me a prescription for some Aleve. I could care less about the prescription. He never even looked at my hip. He didn’t look at how I could stand on it. He literally never even touched the site of injury or looked at it Absolutely pathetic. My vet takes better care of my dog. I’m so disgusted with the lack of care in this office. It’s appalling. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Thomas Gillaspy This place sucks. walk-in wait times are hours long yet when its finally your turn you only have 10 minutes to make it before they push you back in line. If you want to schedule an appointment, you HAVE to call, and when you call you get put on hold for a long time in most cases. The place is just horribly organized. $50 copay every visit. I really feel for the staff here because they are very nice people that have to work in a disorganized mess. Save your time and money and never go here! :)

Lissa Duvall The worst. I was told that I needed anangiogram and that it would be a diagnostic test only. No one ever discussed stints with me. Stints were inserted with out ever consulting me. Since then it has been difficult to impossible to get any information. During a recent appointment I was prescribed a medication that I had an adverse reaction to only one month earlier. I have phoned every other day to try and sort this out. One week has passed and I am going to phone again today. I am trying to get in to a cardiologist in Seattle. I am pretty sure that I will die if I stay in Bellingham.

Jerry Levien They were more than helpful before the procedure. But afterwards cant get in for follow-up, wont return phone calls. Questions about meds that are causing more problems and they dont return your call! Totally disappointed in their after care. Gonna die with my phone in hand while on hold!

lizzy condardo The staff her is wonderful! From the front desk team to the provider I saw their customer service was amazing! Reminder!! It’s not their fault wait times are long, they are doing their best and it shows! Great staff, I will definitely return should I need urgent care in the future.

Klarysa Crape Wonderful staff and efficient experience here! I came in pretty late the night before Thanksgiving and the staff received me quickly and had me assessed fast. They all were so friendly and understanding. I was in and out in less than 25 minutes! I don’t understand the poor reviews because they were very quick to check me in, have my vitals taken, and have the doctor see me to prescribe a medication. They also give me a helpful print out with a visit summary, medication notes and medication name for pick-up. Thank you!

Noelle Janee When I first started going here the service was great, now it’s downright dangerous. After calling in a prescription in the timeframe posted on their website it wasn’t filled. When I called they said it would be 7-9 business days to process a refill request despite their website stating it’s a 72 hour period which it has always been in the many years I’ve gone there. This is a medication I can’t go without or miss. The care team was condescending and rude when I called about this issue. This resulted in me needing to go to the emergency room to get my medication refilled. This was the second time I had to wait an extraordinary amount of time for a refill after my doctor appeared to forget I was taking a medication and failed to refill it after I got the required bloodwork I was asked to get done for the refill. I feel the need to add that my elderly grandmother who also goes here was prescribed a medication with an ingredient that’s she’s deathly allergic to and which is noted on her chart. I cannot express my disappointment in this once good establishment. I genuinely believe this is a dangerous place to go for healthcare.

Judy jordan Love my doctor but I am currently on hold for 51.09 minutes trying to reschedule an appointment. Hope they figure this out soon. I should not have to wait on hold almost an hour to reschedule my appointment.

Katie Like G Penn posted- I loved this location and I love my doctor- for years I have been super happy here- and then recently they changed their billing practices in such a way that my every appt- no matter how short, straightforward, and simple- is billed as “complex” (which is not covered by my insurance) so what used to be a $15 copay is now $50. When I brought up the issue to my doctor she was completely unaware- it seems like a billing practice change that has been not at all communicated to staff (which still estimate appts at $15) or doctors or patients, which in my mind violates the no surprises act and is completely unethical. Realistically, I know I need to switch medical practices but that really is a disappointment after building a good relationship with a doctor.

G Penn I really like my doctor, OShaunessy, but I am TOTALLY FRUSTRATED, with the billing and not being able to get answers!! I had my Yearly medicare WELLNESS visit in December 2024. Has ALWAYS been NO CHARGE. THIS time $10. Was tacked on, apparently owed by ME. NO EXPLANTATION. Billing is impossible to get hold of. Then in early January 2025 I had another appointment to discuss ONE thing. I paid my deductible, like a good little girl. Then I received a bill for $50. As my visit was coded as COMPLEX!!!!! What does that even mean???? No explantation and apparently nobody knows a thing. I am unable to get into the portal. I AM COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED and I REFUSE to pay without explantation! My appointment in January was probably 10 - 15 minutes and ONE thing was discussed!! COMPLEX! NO TRANSPARENTLY HERE! I rated 2 stars instead of 1 because I do like my doctor, BUT....ANSWERS PLEASE!!

Will K Only critique is the lobby, which I had to wait for two hours in severe pain (I needed emergency appendix surgery). I know it’s a tough work around as it can be hard to base the severity of everyone’s injuries, but there has to be a better way to deal with those situations. Once I made it into the ED, everyone was absolutely lovely. The surgical team was very informative, and made me feel safe throughout the whole process. Hats off to them and everyone working back there

grace fields I walked in an was immediately greeted with a very rude “ can I help you “, when I walked up to the lady I wasn’t sure exactly what to start with as I’m barely 18 & have never been to the emergency room without my mom. I started by asking what the wait time would be and expressing how I was feeling. The lady responded very condescendingly with a “ I can’t tell you if it’s an emergency or not do you want to check in or not “ I ended up simply leaving tearing up because I was already feeling absolutely awful and just trying to see a doctor. If that’s the experience you get just walking in I can’t imagine the actual care is any better.

Tom Boulanger I have never been more impressed with the treatment Ive received at a hospital. The emergency room doctor was able to diagnose me within a few minutes. After doing a CAT scan and ultrasound and blood test they have the results back in 25 minutes. The nursing staff here is the best Ive ever dealt with. I mean genuinely care. The owners of this hospital should give every one of them a golden star for being the best caring understanding took care of my needs as I asked for things that I needed. I just cant say enough. This is the only hospital that I would ever go to. Again thank you everybody so much from the doctors to the nurses to everybody on staff. Yall have something to be proud of

Courtney Crowe I honestly cant say enough about how wonderful this hospital is. I have worked here for two weeks on a travel contract, and the teamwork I have witnessed is unlike any other hospital Ive been in. During my shift, I realized I had acute appendicitis and went to the ER. I was brought back swiftly, put into CT, and having surgery just a few hours later. They truly have the best surgical team! Dr Woo was incredible and made me feel safe under her care. My nurses, ER doctor, and nursing assistants were all going above and beyond for me. Every need I had was addressed. Going from healthcare worker to the patient was scary, but they made everything a positive experience. Thank you everyone!
