I have to wonder about your ratings when one of your top docs was put on probation Winter of 2011 by the State of Washington

Roys, David S., MD (MD00010221) (Seattle, King County,
Washington)
Stipulated Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Agreed Order.
Respondent, a psychiatrist, failed to coordinate the care of a suicidal
patient with the patient’s therapist and failed to establish a crisis plan
with the patient. Respondent agreed to a probationary period during
which he will complete CME on outpatient management of the acutely
suicidal psychiatric patient, and submit to practice reviews.

Dr. Dorcas McLennan has been my Dr. for a very long time, and I have to say she is the best Dr. ever. She had her practice by Valley Medical and she then moved to Swedish in Ballard, I chose to follow her althought it is very far from my house and my work as she the BEST!

I haven’t seen Dr. Mark Brakstad’s name, he is a superb general surgeon from Northwest Hospital.

Id like to see the addition of an Integrative Medicine category. There are MDs out there who practice this, not just naturopaths and many of us would rather see a trained MD.

I strongly recommend Dr. Austin Hsu from Back 2 Health Bellevue. I had a car accident and have been seeing him for couple sessions now. He offers the state of art spinal depression equipment, which I haven’t seen in other chiropractics clinics. It released my pain incredibly fast. He is very caring, exprienced and professional.

where are the doctors from orthopedicspecialistsofseattle.com? they provide the best care in seattle for orthopedic surgery.

Sanctions by State, Thank you for bringing this sanction to our attention. Avvo has updated Dr. Roys’s profile to reflect that disciplinary action has been taken. We do screen winners before they are awarded. However, our Top Doctors 2011 list was published before this information became public record.

Gabrielle Morris Occupational medicine – I am SHOCKED she is listed here.

I have a tumor and it took her 3 months to schedule an MRI to discover it, after I’d also been having pain for 9+ months. I got multiple letters from L&I that were addressed to her and cc’d to me, that she claimed she never saw. My primary physician and physical therapists recommended MRI but Morris would not get me one.

I DO NOT recommend her. She was not willing to do anything for me and did not listen to any of my concerns. All she wanted to do was close my case.

Please consider this before choosing Dr Morris.

Dr. Suzanne Fiala is a selfless, caring, devoted and tireless professional. Thank you for recognizing her. The compassion for her patients, the devotion to her family and her love of animals is second to none. Thank you Dr. Fiala.
