I feel completely duped. I went in for a physical after not having been to the doctor in a while and the one thing I requested is that I learn my blood type. After excellent service from the nurse and the doctor I went to get blood drawn, after a while the manage to get a blood sample and I went home. They were friendly from start to finish and I filled out the online information account in order to receive my lab results. I was given a couple of usdates about test they ran as part of the physical but no blood test results. When I called the medical center a week later to find out what type of blood I had and what the delay was I was given a call back quickly by the staff and informed that a blood type test cost extra (was not informed about this during the physical) and that because of this they did not recommend this. They did say that if I gave blood or got pregnant (neither on my agenda) or needed major medical surgery, a service could tell me my blood type but they would not. The nurse on the phone offered to contact my doctor but the doctor claimed I never requested to know my blood type even though it was my main reason for going to get a physical. Based on my experience I recommend if you go here be very specific, keep notes and request they sign off on every service and issue you have requested of them and that they understand what you are requesting before you leave.

This is a beautifully open medical facility with plenty of light and a feeling of spaciousness. The feeling throughout is of open cheerfulness. I have never been there when it appeared to be crowded. The parking situation is easier than easy since the garage is overhead and a few stops down on an elevator. The commute from anywhere in the northend or possibly even from the eastside might be easy if all is at it should be on the roads. I think the bus situation may not be as efficient. In any case, once you get there it is a pleasure, even when your reasons for coming may not be the greatest!

Lied about urgent care wait time. Told me it would be 30 min, still waiting 1.5 hours later, and Im not next in line. 2017/05/02: Without warning or apology, Virginia Mason made my wife wait for 45 min. in an exam room with our 9 m.o. son and 3 y.o. daughter. Brutal, unprofessional, and inexcusable. We really like our kids pediatrician, but Virginia Mason is clearly overbooking their doctors and today my family suffered.

Weve had all three of our daughters at Sand Point (before moving away from Seattle) and had nothing but positive experiences. Dr. Risse has been our primary caregiver and is very knowledgeable, warm and great with kids. But weve had great experiences with every doctor and nurse there. Really, we have nothing negative to say. Dr. Risse in particular (but also the whole practice) is highly recommended.

Hidden gem among medical centers. Primarily for children but they do perform blood draws/tests and I believe have a few other departments. Parking is easy since the center and the parking are in the same building. Would recommend parking higher up on levels 4+.
