This place does not know how to deal with black people or their hair. I literally had to request the one black employee that they had and even then they treated me like I was the big wolf and let their biases do the work for them rather then just treat me with kindness like I wanted them do for everyone else and then made rude disrespectful comments regarding my natural hair. An Asian and white worker (both men) and one even tried touching my hair and this employee had absolutely nothing to do with my case. Please teach your employees better we deserve the exact same care as anyone else. We pay money just like the rest, this was very despicable. I know that your biases will say that I was likely being loud and unruly (I know how most operate here) but this was not the case and I shouldn’t have to say that in order to be believed or treated with basic kindness as a patient. Please save your time and look for better options where you be treated with respect. I was not and will never forget it.

The people we're great. You will get screened for covid card ect. It's all on there website. A warning about parking you pay in the Lobby and you can't get good reception in the garage so try to see which way to turn when you exit before you get there. The spots are very small and disabled parking is so so.

Dr. Watson, the nursing staff, and the assistants consistently listen, do everything in their power to help, and have always shown they care about me as a person, not just another number. The quality of my life significantly improved through their care and they all have my sincere gratitude.

It takes months to schedule appointments and providers repeatedly change their availability, sometimes leading to a delay of another few months. Trying to call to speak to someone about scheduling can be difficult, as you first have to talk to someone at the general Harborview call center, and they often can't get anyone on the phone at the sleep clinic. Sleep apnea is serious and can lead to many cascading health problems, not to mention impairing work productivity, impacting social life, etc. I understand that this clinic is busy, but I don't understand how it can take months and months even to get a diagnosis. At the very least, they should make it easier to talk to someone on the phone who knows what is going on and can be helpful.
