Bellevue Family Practice

Angela, a receptionist at Bellevue family practice was very rude to me as I arrived for my appointment. I have never been treated so unprofessionally in my life. Even the other nurses and doctor were very rude. I could not believe it because I have been there on multiple occasions. I left before even seeing the Doctor. They called the next day and refused to refund my payment. I will never step inside this office again!!!

I had been stuffed up for a month during allergy season. The stuffiness and pain had subsided in my nose and upper face but had remained in my jaw. I explained this to Dr. Akerson and told him I had been successfully treated in the spring for a sinus infection that made my jaw hurt. Dr. Akerson told me I had bruxism, TMJ and refused to treat me for a sinus infection. But sent me away with 40 oxycodone pills.
I wasn’t too happy so I called my dentist. He stayed at work late and gave me an rx for antibiotics for my sinus infection later in the day and I felt 90% better by midnight. Both my dentist and orthodontist, who were lovely enough to see me the same day said my symptoms were not consistent with TMJ.
Also I never met a painkiller I didn’t like until oxycodone. They call it hillbilly heroin for a reason. I ran out of ibuprofen b/​c my rec’d dose was so high — 12 a day. So, I figured I take the percocet since I had it. I was nodding mid convo, had hot flashes, waves of nausea and a hungover, strung out feeling. They say you can get addicted in a few weeks. I believe it; cause you take another and you feel better! It’s pretty crazy to come in seeking antibiotics and to be given this stuff.
