Cascade Physicians, PC

Three reasons you should go elsewhere:
1. My primary care doctor forgot he had even met me. It had been awhile since I had seen him but shouldn’t he have checked my chart – at the very least – and realized I was a current patient?
2. The girls and the front desk/​answering the phones are some of the least considerate and rude individuals I have ever dealt with. Calling in to this office is an exercise in extreme patience.
3. Transparency. No one never knows what a test is going to cost, who will bill what, or if it’s covered by insurance. Expect a bill to show up in the mail months later for «services rendered» with no detailed explanation. Then see #2 and move forward with ripping your hair out.

Dr. Tom Forsythe is one grade A human being and doctor.
We got into a terrible MV accident while away on vacation and the day we were able to fly back home, he fit us in after he heard about the situation. He worked closely on the case and referred us to some great doctors in the area. It feels great to be cared for and looked after a great doctor who really has your best interest in mind. We never felt rushed out the door…
We got great the great care we needed in a even faster timeline than we expected. Thank you so much!

My name is Patrick. …and I hate doctors. …the «why» of my dislike aside… Dr glasier and Jennifer have been the antithesis of my dislike. This office has bent over backward to help me, an ohp client, that literally can’t get an appointment other places let alone receive top notch service and unfailing respect.
They even have a doctor… not an answering service… a doctor… that will do their darndest to solve your problems at 10 pm on a Saturday.
Simply put… if you’re looking for a new doctor… come here… its the best choice you’ll make all day

I saw Dr G. Today. I’ve spent 15 years of my life around doctors, but never as a patient. His great bed side manor was refreshing. I would suggest Dr G. To anyone.

In general, the office is more interested in their opinions and policy as oppose to patient’s health and wellbeing. During the first visit, Dr. Wolfe assured my husband that as long as he was seen fairly recently, there will be no problems with drug renewals. Over the past 2 years, my husband has seen him at least 6 times. Recently, his drug was denied renewal even though he saw Dr. Wolfe about 3 months prior. It was not the medical office that informed us about the denail, but the pharmacy. In addition, when my husband called the office, he was informed that they would not renew the prescription until he has bloodwork done. This was Friday afternoon, and there was only 2 tablets remaining. Even with a blood drawn on Monday, there will be no immediate results. My husband had a full-​blood panel drawn by Quest Diagnostics with the results already available. He asked if this would be sufficient to get his drug renewed. The response was «no as the blood work was not done in their lab» (and no to the drug being renewed). My husband who is a clinical chemist pointed out there was no medical necessity for a fasting blood panel for the medication in question. Additionally it is a medication that he had been taking for over ten years. The conversation ended with someone may call my husband back before the end of the day.
When I returned home at 4:45 pm and was informed by my husband that no one had contacted him, I called the medical office immediately, wanting to know why my husband was denied medical service. The office manager was not available, but I spoke with the physician’s assistant. She did acknowledge that my husband did see Dr. Wolfe recently, but he was informed in July 2012 that he needed to schedule a blood draw this year. It is the patient’s responsibility and the office does not remind patients. (At this point, I still do not understand the thought process of blood draw scheduled AFTER the patient is off the drug as the office refuses to renew it. No one has answered the question on why my husband was refused medical services). She did, however, renew the prescription for 30 days and my husband would have to schedule another blood draw for them to renew further. Per my understanding, it will be a repeat of what was done by Quest Diagnostics 3 weeks prior. As noted at the beginning, the office is more interested in the particulars, (in this case, the bloodwork must be drawn at their lab as oppose to outside lab), than the patient’s overall health and wellbeing.
