Let me start by saying that I am not one to post negative reviews. However, dealing with ANW has had a pretty big negative impact on my mental and physical health.
My breaking point was being told that my appointment, which I had taken time off of work for, was CANCELED by the office staff. They told my husband it was because I had had an appointment three weeks prior? So they canceled my appointment without even telling me.
The office staff are consistently rude and abrupt. I've had one of their medical assistants laugh at me when describing a very personal and sensitive problem that was caused by mobility issues. They don't answer the phone or provide callbacks except on rare occasions.
Dr LaSalle is known for writing off patients and discounting diagnoses that they've already received. Because of him, and his gaslighting tendencies (read other reviews about him below) I have had to suffer way more than necessary for years.
Dr Coan is a good doctor, but is difficult to access due to office staff.
After four years of dealing with this clinic, which caused my disease to progress from not getting the treatment I needed, I've finally found a great rheumatologist with the Polyclinic in Seattle.
Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this office.
