Yesterday was my first appointment ever at Cascade Eye and Skin. I was treated well. The lady Eboni who checked me in was very kind. You sign in with like an IPad. Of course I made a mistake and Eboni was very kind and helped me with it. She also checked me out and made an appointment to come back next moth.

Can’t answer the phone. Never called or texted to remind of appointment. Worst customer service I’ve ever encountered and super unprofessional. And just found out that they’ve been overcharging me for my last few appointments. Never seen anything like it until switching to this location from the Puyallup one. The person on the phone just sounded completely idiotic.

My wife went in for a regular check up today. She came home in tears from the treatment she was given. Not only was she not well cared for she was confused on what they were doing and why. She ended up with an unexpected mole removal. The whole thing was rushed, confusing, and the follow up was not clear at all for her on processes for the healing. She's been through biopsy and removal before and never had an experience like this.

Do not recommend this office/place. I was treated as a chore rather than a patient, and it left me with a terrible experience due to a lack of communication and sensitivity. Ended up being rushed through a minor procedure without proper clarity and full understanding of what was going on, which caused me to almost pass out half way through it due to feeling overwhelmed. I was under the impression it would be a biopsy, but they did more than that. They also didn’t give the medicine enough time to numb me so I could feel parts of the procedure (which had cutting and cauterizing). When I communicated

Eventhough I have only had work done from the Eye department, I can testify to the professional, comprehensive, erudite and highly skilled and medical board certified doctors, technicians and support staff of Cascade Eye and Skin Centers. The organization has multiple locations throughout the Pacific northwest. I've personally visited the University Place and Puyallup offices. I recommend this electric medical specific facility hand down.

I do not recommend going to Cascade Eye and Skin. I went in for my third tattoo removal session in the pack I paid for. I saw Cheryl Cavanagh for this service and while she seems nice enough, she was not as professional as I would have hoped.
I went into the office and got checked in. Cheryl grabbed me an ice pack to start numbing up my arm for the session (there was an employee birthday, so everyone was around the front desk watching her open her gifts, which is fine). There was no hand washing at all. Also, while still being in a pandemic and in a facility that requires masks, she likes to pull

I left here feeling so beyond upset. How discriminatory to parents of small children you are. They wouldn't let me into my appointment because I had my well behaved 2 small kids, one masked, with me? There was no indication of any of this before I left to my appointment. I just wanted a picture check, they could come to my dang car and done it and called me for the talking part. Now I have to wait an additional 2 months to see if I need a biopsy? You putting someone's immediate health needs as such a low priority is ridiculous.

I hardly ever write google reviews, let alone of a medical practice, but it is insane here. My first appointment was canceled the night before due to a sick doctor (understandable. stuff happens), but they only tried to contact me once by phone and didn’t leave a message. Do they not utilize email here? It was so annoying to drive and then get turned away, but hey no big deal. Maybe my voicemail was clogged, that’s on me.
I finally get in three months later, and the appointment felt rushed but it was fine. The tech who saw me was a bit short and unfriendly, but maybe she had a bad day. Medical

Horrible, absolutely horrible front desk work. Perhaps it’s time for some of the less computer savvy crotchety front desk people like Julie the supervisor to retire.
I took time off work to take my teen for a skin appointment. He’d been a patient here for almost seven years. While they agreed he had an proper appointment (which is referral based) they contented that he had never been a patient and never had a referral or authorization. They said that I would need to sign a waiver and pay for the appointment out of pocket.
It took over 30 minutes of discussion for them to realize (yet not
