  1. Dr. Susie Kwon, MD is an excellent physician. She is a person of integrity and quality. She made me feel comfortable and reassured me. She gave me hope that I will recover from my orthopedic issues. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

  2. The door opens by push button for those in need. The problem is, it shuts on anyone that walks slowly. It knocks them over. I have complained about the door twice, once a year ago and once a month ago. Watch out for the f-ing door.

  3. This is the worst place I’ve ever from scheduling to the doctor very rude. When scheduling the gal was rude and didn’t even give me information on where the place was and no follow up call. The doctor would ask questions then interrupt me and ask same question again.

  4. I should have read reviews before selecting Cascade Orthopaedic and Doctor Richard P Martin , I will say as a first-time patient to Doctor Martin was the most unprofessional and rude doctor I have encountered , it was very difficult for …

  5. I love Cascade Ortho. Dr. Carlson is the best. Very patient and takes the time to explain the injury and the options for treatment. Would definitely recommend.

  6. Dr Beauveldt kept me waiting in his office 45 minutes and I had told him I had to leave because I had a shuttle waiting & got billed for $61 for his 10 imutes of his time!

  7. Never felt like individualized care. Tried telling Dr Smith hand and trigger extremely painful. Only gave me 2 weeks off work. Now having 2nd surgery at another place. Rude

  8. Definitely run for profit not patients. Policy requires a separate appointment for each issue. Insurance requires whatever yadda yadda yadda. Medical care, patient care is absolutely the bottom of the priority list. Even my OWN primary …

  9. Fabulous doctors, used Dr Strafford did a full shoulder replacement and a mcl tear repair 5 stars … staff was excellent, office and surgery centers very clean safe and professional… did pt there super group

  10. Extremely poor and unprofessional service received by my grandmother at this establishment by Dr. Milan Moore. Over an hour wait to see him and then when he entered my father asked if it was a busy day because their appointment was an hour …

  11. Dr. Blauvelt is the best. I had surgery 5 years ago for a broken elbow. I’ve had no issues and I’m so happy for his professional expertise!! Cascade Orthopedics rocks!!

  12. Absolutely the most pathetic, incompetent way of managing a medical facility. From customer service/scheduling personnel to disrespectful doctors. The wait is ridiculous, but they have no shame in cancelling an appointment as you show up on …

  13. Came in for an appointment and had the worst experience I have ever had in a doctor’s office. I came in with knee/calf/foot pain. I was immediately put under speculation when the doctor saw what company I worked for. I explained to the …

  14. Cascade Orthopedics has been great. The wait times are short. The office staff are very friendly. The facility is clean. They did a great job taking care of my hardware removal on my healed broken leg. I love this clinic. Dr Strafford is …

  15. Horrible service! Was referred here by family doctor and realized very quickly that while it looks nice on the outside, the service is horrible on the inside. Dr Richard P. Martin M.D. Tried to have me come back three times before I heard …

  16. I waited in the waiting room for 45 mins twice prior to today, I was a little irritated by that but I realize you can’t always be seen promptly. However today I waited for an hour and 15 minutes before I asked for a manager. I told them I …

  17. Worst experience ever. I had to wait over a month for my initial appointment then 3 days before I receive a call saying they would have to reschedule for 2 weeks later. Fine! But it didn’t stop there. Received a call 4 days before my next …

  18. I would like to give this place zero stars. I went into emergency room because i have broken my foot as well as fractured in different places. I have called 5 times to schedule as well as leaving 3 messages with different people to call and …

  19. First, I just wanted to say thank you for helping me with my diagnosis and treatment of the Carpel Tunnel in my wrists. I wouldn’t be on my way to better overall health without the care you provided. I went from pain everyday while working …

  20. I am seeing Dr. Blauvelt for a crushed second metacarpal in my hand. I did not experience long wait times like others. Dr. Blauvelt spent a long time with me honestly presenting my treatment options in a way that put me in charge of decisions about how to progress. He is good at what he does and I trust his opinions.

  21. I have been going to Dr.Chen for over 5 years and I could not be more satified with his work. I have a cronic ailment that we work to control using several methods. Dr Chen and his PA are the best. I always schedule my apps. well in …

  22. I give this place NO stars. Worst experience I have ever had. I was referred to Cascade Orthopaedics by another doc who had been treating me for knee pain which I was told was osteoarthritis. They called me to schedule the appointment …

  23. Dr. Teng and Dr. Chen are great Doctors. After being in great pain for all my life do to a birth defect in my lower back and surgeries from other Doctors that haven’t help with the pain, they have talked and explained things to me so I …

  24. It’s interesting that “cascade surgical” billed my insurance several different times with different amounts that all add up to the same amount. Sounds like a scam system to me now my insurance company is investigating me and them.

  25. I’ve had some pain experiences from scoliosis since 12 yrs of age and falling down from epileptic seizures since 11 yrs of age, now 36. After seeing Dr. Alan Chen and being in the worst pain ever he has really helped me. Very helpful and respectful! I will be back soon!

  26. This place is horrible and absolutely no customer service skills. I been a patient there because of a bad leg injury that I and I recently started receiving a lot of pain and setback due to the healing process and I missed a couple of …

  27. My husband has had excellent service here! A few of the reception members of staff are unfriendly and have attitudes most of the time, but usually our visits have been rather quick and friendly. Dr. Moore is the guy we see and he is …

  28. I went today for an appointment with Dr. Carlson. He was extremely rude, not professional at all, and very judgmental. I would never feel comfortable receiving care from him. The facility was nice but I will never go back and I will try to contact management about the visit.

  29. In 2014, my rotater cuff was badly (98%) torn. Dr. Carlson did the repair work. I had a friend recommend him and I am so glad I went to him. It is now 2020 and my should is still working with little to no complications. I would highly recommend Dr. Carlson to anyone. He is very pleasant and great to have in your corner.

  30. Called in to get a quote for an appointment. Was told I needed to provide my insurance information before she can tell me how much it would be out of pocket. I went ahead and gave information so I can get the price for office visit. Next …

  31. Dr. Blauvelt and all the staff are easy to talk to and very good at explaining and answering questions. I’ve gone to Cascade for years and always had good experiences.

  32. Refused to mri and stated he couldnt fix the problem. Referred me to seek harborview as an option for care. Seems to me when a dr refers you to a surgeon its for more than to be brushed off because of claimed insurance reasons. How can a …

  36. Dr Martin and his staff are amazing. I just had my second knee operation and couldn’t be happier. From beginning to end the process was efficient and friendly. New operating center is very nice (I had my first surgery at old location).

  37. Fantastic Dr.!!! Very informative, open and honest. Maybe not the news I wanted, but he explained everything in terms I understood. I would recommend him to everyone. Thank you Dr. Carlson!!!

  38. Dr. Teng is always concerned with your well being as well as your healing. He is easy to talk to. I’m very satisfied with the care given by Dr. Teng and Cascade Orthopedics.

  39. Stay far away from this place Dr Chen is money hungry. I have been a long time patient of his and I had a scheduled appointment today which I took time off work for I get to my appointment just to tell me I can not be seen from a …

  40. Dr. Strafford is knowledgeable, honest and kind. He gave me a reality check which is really what I needed. He did not try to upsell me on unnecessary procedures. I’m aging which I can’t do anything about. And I need to exercise more, which I do have the ability to change.

  41. Well unfortunately my family has spent the past several months here at this office. First my husband had an accident that fractured his leg, and Dr Stafford and his staff took amazing care of him! Megan especially, was very caring and kept …

  42. I didn’t have to wait for very long. From the time I was checked in, to the time they called me to a room was about 4 to 6 minutes. They were all very helpful, considerate, and kind.

  43. Dr. Teng was recommended after several years of trigger point injections with another doctor. Dr. teng performed a surgery that he explained may or may not stop the pain.

  49. I love Cascade Orthopaedics! I have been going there as needed for 20 years for various injuries. They are clean, professional, and expert knowledgeable. I recently had knee surgery and I could not be happier with my diagnosis, treatment, and outcome. The entire staff was very good to me.

  50. By far one of the worst treatments I have ever had. I will state this that during my first appointment I was treated kindly by all employees including DR. CHEN. My second appointment I was treated kindly by all employees except DR. CHEN, he …

  54. The procedure (PRP) went very smoothly and quickly. Dr. Kearney was great about letting me know exactly what was happening (and going to happen), which lowered my anxiety level practically to nil. I would recommend him without any reservations to anyone who needs help with a hip problem.

  55. Dr. Teng hás proven to be an excellent doctor. He treated me for severe lower back issues which required surgery. He is very straight forward thoroughly explaining all the benefits and dangers of the procedure. He takes time to listen and is straight forward with his answers. One could not ask for a better doctor.

  66. Friendly staff and clean waiting area. I could have survived without the fuzzy patient complaining about the treatment costs, but it’s could be worse. We could be a communist nation.

  67. Very personable the whole staff from the greetings walking in to the care and the attention to detail and listened to my concerns and gave me 3 different options for care thats what I call excellence.
    Thank you

  68. As always, he’s very honest in treatment, but never brutally, just direct and respectful. No surprises and he’s quite gentle while administering tough injections, or even surgery. Great clinic overall, especially the kind staff.

  73. First time visit after many years of surgeries from another dr. Felt very comfortable and staff was very friendly. Dr Chen took his time with me and offered several options to consider. Wanted a new set of eyes to look at my back to see if …

  74. These folks will set a follow-up appointment with you verbally for a date that is a month or more out, not send you any sort of reminder email or text, or phone call, and then send you a bill for not showing up. Incredibly unethical.

  75. Been seeing Dr Martin for over 12yrs now n couldn’t ask for a better Dr. The staff at the office is very friendly n will always do the best to help U out or if need be get back to U in a timely manner!

    Really good bedside manner.

  91. We feel extremely lucky to have found Dr Carlson. He is remarkably straightforward and personable, and extremely helpful. His assistant, Dana, is a super-hero.

  92. I was misled by Dr Straffords assistant, Megan, that I was going to a doctor who was a neck and spine specialist who would help me find out what the problem was with my neck as I re-injured my neck and left arm performing an FCE. I was …

  100. It was great to re-visit with Dr. Martin again.
    He patiently explained to me about getting a cortisone shot in my knee. I never had one. Thanks to his explanation and honestly, I decided to go ahead with the procedure. I survived the shot. 🙂

  101. I came in to see Dr. Carlson for the first time. I was having a lot of pain in my right shoulder. He x-rayed my shoulder and told me what was causing it and recommended a cortisone shot. He also said if it started bothering me down the road …

  102. Dr. Stratford listens to me and if it would be good for my healing, makes it work. In fact as regards to my request for early PT he went even farther than I asked, and that may have helped me have a much better recovery than I had hoped for. I am very happy with my new knee!
