Family Practice near Bainbridge Island, WA

“I had a positive covid test so I contacted the BI Rheumatology department since I am on immuno-suppressant medication. I sent a secure message via the patient portal and in less than 5 minutes my phone was ringing. I had an appointment to talk to the Rheumatology Pharmacist that afternoon via an online video session.

It was amazing to have that support and feel like they cared about me. She recommended I take Paxlovid because it would definitely help me feel better and she asked me to give her an update on how I was feeling the following week.

Thank you Virginia Mason. I always feel my doctors have been very caring.”

“Dr. Wooldridge is great! I have been super impressed with his level of attention, care, and knowledge. I also appreciate having a Dr. who understands LQBTQ+ health issues. I feel respected and heard working with Dr. Wooldridge.”

“Dr Harrington has taken great care of my family for a number of years. He listenes to our issues and always takes the time to understand any concerns we have. I highly recommend him.”

“Front desk staff was nice and helpful, provider was behind and was rushed through the appointment which isn't typical for that provider. He made sure to apologize and to address my concerns and explain things when I messaged after the appointment.”

“Very pleased with my first visit to this practice, and the Poulsbo office worked great for having evening hours to get me in.

Michelle at the front desk was so plesant and welcoming to me. The medical assistant was also very friendly and nice to interact with, apologies for spacing on her name. But let me tell you - Dr. Marriott, is a gem! I was listened to and wasn't rushed during my visit...I felt both seen and heard. Such a huge relief! I am so glad to have started my care with Kitsap OBGYN.”

“I love the doctors and some of the receptionists. However, there is one who is extremely cold and unconcerned at all regarding requests. She is very abrupt and condescending. I really am sorry to have to write about this because I do feel very happy with my primary care physicians and the rest of the staff. But every time she answers I dread it. Sorry.”

“This location is close to my house and I love the services provided by my counselor Eve and my nutritionist Katja. Both ladies are amazing and have helped me along my journey of healing my health and rediscovering myself.”

“Clair Cloutier PA, best doc I've ever been to. Unfortunately she has moved on and is no longer at this clinic. I already know it will be impossible to find a new doc half as good. She will be missed and I wish her the best!!! Thank you Clair!!!”

“After months of searching for a new Primary Care doctor and not having an ounce of luck in being able to find someone that will take my insurance AND accept new patients AND be located in Kitsap County.. I finally found Franciscan Medical Group in Poulsbo that would. However, their first available appt was quite literally over a year out. I scheduled it anyway but knew I needed to keep looking. One day I came across Peninsula Community Health. I called for an appt not expecting much since the reviews here aren’t entirely raving. Much to my surprise they had availability for my needs in just 8 weeks. EIGHT WEEKS. So I snagged it. The day I arrived and checked in everything was smooth and the front desk gal was so kind. The ONLY reason I didn’t give this review 5 stars is because from the scheduled appt time to the time I actually saw and talked to my doctor the wait time was almost 2hrs. I get it though, sometimes doctor appts run behind and that’s probably what I get for scheduling a late afternoon appt. While a smidge frustrated all my annoyances went out the window after I met my new doctor Lisa Dropp for the first time. SHE. IS. AMAZING. So kind, energetic, empathetic, listens, cares and just all around gentle and lovely. I don’t typically leave reviews but I left PCHS knowing I would need to for this. From the day I called and the gal who scheduled me to the front desk ladies who checked me in on two different occasions, to the physician assistant and of course including the doctor and even the phlebotomist EVERYONE I interacted w/at PCHS was absolutely wonderful. They are all kind, calm, gentle, easy to work with and professional. As someone who also works the front desk myself, I know it’s NOT easy dealing w/people all day every day. But everyone at the PCHS Poulsbo location made a really great impression on me. I whole heartedly appreciated being able to get an appt in such a short amount of time (8 wks compared to a year is HUGE.) and I’m SO grateful my new doctor was a available to take new patients because she is great! In the future when I make appts I’ll know to take the day off again for them just in case things are running behind. Thankfully I already had these two particular days off but just a reminder to myself I may not be able to squeeze a doctor appt in on a lunch break, hah. All to say, thank you PCHS for existing ?”

“I needed a TB test for work and this is the clinic on my insurance card. I called to see if I could get in and the person helping me on the phone was extremely kind and helpful. He scheduled me an appointment later this month and told me to come to the extended hours clinic to see if they would do the test for me. The people working the front desk were extremely kind, helpful, welcoming, and charismatic. The wait was 2.5 hours but I didn't mind. They have AC and I have my phone to play on. Plus it was all free so of course I don't mind waiting. The lady who took me back and did my blood pressure was extremely kind and gentle. She was very apologetic for my wait. The doctor was also very kind and caring. I could go down the list with everyone I encountered and say the same thing. Just very nice people. Everyone I came into contact with at the clinic was wonderful. When I was waiting to get my TB test, the nurse or doctor at the computer started making small talk with me and I thought that was fun. The girl doing my TB test was very gentle and it was her first time giving one to someone, she did great. I don't mind being a guinea pig because I used to be a dialysis technician. When I came back to get my test read, there was a disgruntled patient and the admin and doctors handled it with grace and maturity. I can't say enough how impressed I am.”

“I saw my GP today because over the last couple of months my lower back pain has gotten worse. I've been seeing my chiropractor once or twice a week, which helps for a while, but then I wake up unable to stand upright until I have a hot shower.

She listened to me, reviewed the ortho doctor's report from 2016 with me, then gave me the consults I needed to see what has changed. She did not mention my weight (although I did, since I have gained a little bit since my gastric bypass). She did not tell me this is just what happens when one gets older. She did not condescend in any way. I was in pain that was new and limiting how I live my life, so she worked with me to help me find out why.

She is thorough, warm, funny, and caring. Sometimes I have to wait for her to get to me at an appointment. I am happy to do so since I know she is giving the same attention and time to the patient before me.

If you can travel to Poulsbo, WA, and want to switch doctors, try Dr. Sally Fleischman at The Doctor's Clinic in Poulsbo.”

“I am absolutely delighted with the treatment that I received last week. The injection of steroid into my shoulder resolved my pain. Two days later, I was able to do all of my stretches without any discomfort whatsoever. The pain was absolutely gone. I did not notice any side effects.”
