If there were a 0 star option that would be more accurate. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone ever. The reception staff are snobby, sarcastic and less than helpful. Dr. Catherine Talbot is a sad excuse for a medical professional. I have never been so belittled by anyone in my life. Don't waste your time with this woman or this facility.

Update: This place is trash! We have been going her for YEARS and they have finally lost our business! It has steadly gone down hill each year but the last straw was the rude nasty staff. She wanted to tell me what I was told by the ma even though she was not there at all to witness the conversation. Then tell me I was a liar and she wasnt going to argue with me.. Um excuse me but thats exactly what you were doing. The doctors brush people off constantly and don't want to look into your health concerns. Just don't with this place. Yeah their hours are convenient but at what cost? ... convenience can not compensate for garbage care. Go somewhere else! My 3 kids have been going here for several years and I really like it. Dr. Sweet is great and the hours are very convenient. Never a long wait and customer service has always been good. Only issue I've had is them trying to charge $50 for not giving 24hr notice cancellation but the appointment was made after they were already closed the night before and I ended up taking my son to the hospital for immediate care. They didn't seem to care about my situation or that the appointment had been made less than 24hrs ago. Otherwise I would give a five star.

I have been going here for over 10 years, only because my wife wants me to keep giving them chances. Now, we are finally through thank goodness. Lost all trust in their competence. If all you want is a basic routine check up and you know your healthy, or need to use the restroom, this is your place. Otherwise, good luck. Absolutely horrible organization. How on earth a clinic can lose a patients personal information is beyond me. Multiple times I've been misdiagnosed, and now with covid around, they're too scared to see anyone. I understand safety, but there's safety, then there's pure laziness. Covid screening is a joke. Mother has a bad case of COPD. Needed to refill her prescription for oxygen. Doctor prescribed it over the phone, but couldn't get it because she needed to do an in person test. Yelm family told her no since she has shortness of breath and that's a covid symptom. THATS A COPD SYMPTOM TOO!! Told us to do test in ER. Hospital got irritated with us for going here. We explained and they turned their frustration to Yelm Family. 5 days following this ER visit, my mom got covid and almost died. Thank you Yelm Family, you're sure doing your part to keep everyone safe. You should not be practicing medicine.

Find a different doctors office! Worst doctors office I have ever experienced. I had an injury that my doctor said would improve with just time. But I requested to see a specialist anyway. Several months later when I returned for another issue the doctor said "I see your injury has improved." I replied "ya, I had surgery." Do the doctors not read the patients chart? My specialist sent over all the information. This doctor made no effort to diagnose to real problem, nor did they care too. I was just another office visit so they could collect my money. No effort was made by the doctors at Yelm Family Medicine to help. They take your money yet do nothing make you better. I'm not sure if it's because the doctors are incompetent or just don't care. Either way, you won't receive proper health care from this facility. This office is a waste of my time and money. I would never recommend this facility to anyone!
