Does anyone have a good recommendation for a great allergist, who is exceptional with kids? TIA
Megan H. replied:
Lake Stevens. Dr. Ranheim. He is by the park and ride.
Theresa M. replied:
Providence physicians group Monroe, allergist is Dr Becker. He is AMAZING. My son went through months of strange allergic reactions and was in the hospital repeatedly getting epinephrine. He gave me his cell phone number to call day or night when my son went in to the hospital or even in to walk-in if he had a problem. He is going to be doing research for a medical journal for my son's allergy that has never had any tests for. He is there every Wednesday in Monroe. Based out of mill creek. Honestly, I don't trust anyone else. I owe my son's life to him over and over.
Mary R. replied:
Thank you Theresa! How long has Dr. Becker been out here? I'm guessing we've been commuting longer than we needed to.
Theresa M. replied:

Loretta D. replied:
We have been happy with Dr. Becker also!
Erin G. replied:
We love Dr Naimi at NW asthma and allergy in Everett.
Summer M. replied:
We had a great visit with Dr. Becker also. Being able to see an allergist in Monroe is fabulous!

I would recommend Northwest Asthma and allergy. I really liked Dr. Audrey Park.
Hey Seattle Mums, I need to find an allergist that works with kids. Any recommendations? I've been in denial too long.

Hi luv, we go to see Dr. Park at northwest Asthma and allergy, she works both at the Seattle office on sand point way and on the east side. http://www.nwasthma.com/
I actually just started allergy therapy a month ago. My allergist was great and my RNs are AMAZING. It's a a crazy process, but I can give you more details, if you would like. My doctor is at Group Health.

Norman M. replied:
After years with Blue Cross Blue Shield in California I've been with Kaiser here for the last year since they took over Group Health. My GP is at the Ranier facility which is close. So far so good and easy to get appointments and talks to Nurses. The on line thing is great too. I had to go to Capitol Hill for a specialist but it worked out. The best it could be for the system we now have IMHO
Sara S. replied:
We've had good luck with Group Health and now KP. The Rainier clinic location is awesome and I love that it's a smaller family practice and they know our whole family. We have been able to see specialists when needed with no hiccups when it's within the HMO. Getting to a specialist outside the HMO has caused minor hiccups, but nothing that kept us from getting the care we needed.
Morgan S. replied:
My health issues are fairly complicated, and I need to see specialists that Kaiser doesn't have, which can be a bumpy ride. If you are generally healthy with the usual short term illnesses and injuries, then Kaiser is fine. I like my primary care dr., Dr. Paul on Cap Hill. She listens and is willing to spend the time with me to answer all my questions, then is supportive of the course of action I want to take.
Jessica U. replied:
I love Kaiser. Their online system is awesome. You can email you doctor anytime, set up appts, and access most of your records all online. Also all the doctors communicate with each other well since they are all in house so to speak. My primary is Dr Ann McKee who is great (Cap Hill ). I have an amazing endocrinologist. I've tapped into many of the department's (unfortunately) in the past several decades and had mostly good experiences. I use both Capitol Hill and Bellevue campuses for my needs. My kids have had to visit other hospitals. Once Harborview and one time Children's and I have received no flack about coverage in those two incidences.
Rachel M. replied:
If you have complex health issues and may require hospitalization or surgery then KP is not ideal because they have privileges at hospitals with lower patient safety grades - Bs and Cs for Swedish and Harborview. Only Virginia Mason and UW Medicine have A grades.
Anyone know a good allergist? Preferably Eastside or downtown Seattle. Thanks!
Kimberly W. replied:
Audrey Park in Redmond for my kids and Garrison Ayars in Bellevue for me. This for you or kids?
Kimberly W. replied:
Then Garrison Ayars is great. C and I both see him.
Kimberly W. replied:
His practice is Allergy & Asthma Associates on 112 th in Bellevue
Carolyn M. replied:
Michael Kennedy, also at NW Asthma and Allergy in Redmond - same practice as Audrey Park, who sees my kids. It's a giant practice with lots of locations. Both T and I do immunotherapy shots there. Miracle cure for me; so-so result for poor T.
Matthew H. replied:
I use Garrison Ayaers as well, having seen allergists most of my life he is one of the best.
In need of some suggestions about out of pocket insurance that has rx coverage. Kinda long story short I was enrolled in my company's insurance and I didn't realize...
