I literally have the same issues as you. I see Margaret Griffel at silverdale primary care. She has saved my life. I probably wouldn't have made it through anything without her kind and understanding heart. She will not make you feel judged

I have no doc to recommend, but as quacky as it sounds, EMDR therapy is the only thing that got me out of the house and functioning like a real human being nearly ten years ago. Mine was anxiety and situational depression, but EMDR is heavily used to treat PTSD as well. Good luck!

Kari Heistand is my psychiatrist and she’s amazing. Won’t just drug you up, YOU tell HER what you want to do. Has helped me with healthy coping mechanisms and is all around just a sweet person.

Dr obberhat in poulsbo listens, not sure on knowledge on ptsd but very knowledgeable on meds. Rachael Buffett is an arnp who specializes in mental health. Not sure on billing but her number is 3608712800

Dr. McCord at the Doctor's Clinic in Port Orchard is just wonderful... He listens and he is a vet.
Kristina K. replied:
Nani Baran is helping me with my PTSD, and similar symptoms. She accepts Kaiser or cash, I believe, and had a sliding scale. www.nanibaran.com I'm also getting EMDR therapy with another therapist at Kaiser, Kim Braswell. There are other EMDR therapist options, too, at Kaiser and elsewhere.

Ellen Stehouwer, DO, Sound Health. We switched from Doctors Clinic a few years ago when she moved to Sound Health. 360-876-2434
Michelle O. replied:
My experience with Dr. Bates was not positive. Dr. Erin Dawson in that same office is fantastic.
Julie B. replied:
I saw Dr Stehouwer for many years, and when I told her I wanted to be tested for a condition she told me that she didn't believe in this particular condition and would not test or treat. Therefore I had to switch Dr's because I have to have someone who will work with me not against me. I am now being treated for the condition she refused to look into.

http://www.healthgrades.com/physician/dr-reid-holtzclaw-x84 rv I was referred to Dr Reid Holtzclaw (in the beautiful Franciscan Clinic behind Mana Sushi and Subway, next to the new apartment complex). He's an internist. I have a few conditions that require more than just a "regular" doctor, but he's great for the minor things, too. WONDERFUL nursing staff.

Sanchez made me feel like complete crap like the pain was all in my head and I didn't know what I was taking about I found Dr Quimby she diagnosed me with severe endometriosis she is a wonderful dr I highly suggest her
Kasey K. replied:
I used to go to Gillian Esser in Silverdale. The only reason I stopped seeing her is because my new insurance didn't include her in the network. So then I started using Orestes Molina (male) in Gig Harbor. He's an obgyn but you don't need to use him for the ob- part. I prefer male doctors for this sort of thing and he's really nice.
Michelle P. replied:
Dr. Quimby has my vote also. She is very helpful and so down to earth. She was the surgeon for my myomectomy... I highly recommend her!
Paris W. replied:
Dr Bohanon is great.
Samantha R. replied:
Dr. Quimby, she is AMAZING

I didn't care for Dr. Bresaw. She was quick to want to give me an unneeded hysterectomy.
Jennifer R. replied:
Dr. Nancy Bohannon is simply the best. She IS an OBGYN buy that shouldn't matter. You don't have to see her for the OB portion. I see her and I'm not ever having anymore babies. She is so caring, patient, kind, and such an understanding listener

Try The Manette Clinic in Bremerton on Wheaton Way.
Heidi S. replied:
The Manette Clinic (I love this place!) doesn't bill ins. From their website: "We do not bill insurance.* You do not need to carry insurance to be a member with us. However, due to the Federal requirements, you may be expected to purchase health insurance or pay the fine at the end of the year. If you have insurance, you can still use it for outside prescriptions, labs and referrals, as well as for big ticket items like surgery and intensive treatments and specialty care. There are many things we provide without the hassle of billing your insurance, all covered in your membership. You may be able to save a lot of money and time when pairing with a high-deductible health insurance plan (vs. standard low-deductible/”copay” insurance plans). Most things are included, like physicals and routine check ups for chronic illness, or if you are sick."

I work with the elderly and one client sees a PAC at Peninsula Community Health services. His name is Anthony Lyon-Loftus. While I generally do not like the clinic as a whole, I really like him. He listens to my client and never speaks to her like she's dumb or a child.. the only issue to me is the clinic he's a part of.
