Leah E. Karlsen, MD

Exceptionally good initial visit with my now new PCP. Superb listening skills. Very well thought through answers to my many questions.

I had to wait a week to see the doctor. The visit went well and Dr. Carlson is a great physician

Doctor Karlsen is wonderful!

Dr. Karlsen is an excellent listener and very easy to talk to. She acknowledged all my concerns and responded respectfully and expertly. Se also helped me to discuss more affordable medication options. I love her positive energy and allowing me to participate in decision making about my health care options. She is an excellent doctor and will make a difference in her patients' lives.

This was my first experience with Swedish and this doctor...all very good!

I'm extremely satisfied with my Provider. She was really respectful, responsive, accountable and her perspective about my health is really helpful for me. I really recommend my Provider to family and also friends too. I'm really concerned about my health and she has very strong opinions and help for that too.

Always excellent

Dr listened and satisfied my concerns of head pain. Recommended I schedule eye exam to further investigate head pain. Reassured me that blood pressure, any anolomies in my eye that would indicate source of pain were not apparent. Just wish I did not have to wait 2 days for appointment.

The whole team as well as Dr karlson were kind and helpful. I'm very happy with Dr Karlson.

This was a visit to establish care. The doctor was very thorough and personable.

Very one was very nice and helpful. Easy to talk with.

Dr. Sounded like she really cared about my problems. It's nice to have a doctor like that. This was my first visit. I was impressed.

Dr Karlsen was kind , listened and was very reassuring.

Good so far! My first appointment.

Very good attention and listening and have recommended to my wife whom I believe is looking again for a primary doctor.

Dr. Karlsen is new to me as I'm transferring from another MD. She was engaging, listened carefully, asked pertinent questions, brought up concerns appropriately re: a medication I take. I appreciated the respect I felt from her. I had labs drawn and otherwise, my heart and lungs were assessed. I didn't think to ask if there would be a hands on physical exam next year at my annual wellness check. It would have been helpful if that was addressed and brought up by the MD.

Provider is exceptional

Not my regular GP ,but she was great!

Itwas a nice, relaxing appointment because Dr. Karlson was patient, knowledgeable about my concerns, listened, seemed completely in the moment and not as if anyone was waiting for her, or she needed to finish at some exact time. Yet, I know there are lots of patients and there are X number of minutes per patient. She's got the skill to pull it all off.

I've had great care. Much appreciated.

This was my first visit and I had a good feeling about this Dr to act as my PC.

This appointment was to meet Dr. Karlsen to get to know her. She was great.

This was a first visit with a new care provider. I was very pleased with how it all went.

She listens and responses and called in prescription when needed.

Very good experience with my new PCP.

I was very impressed with Dr Karlson however this survey didn't take into account it was my first encounter with her. My goal was to find a primary care Doc. It seems to me she Is a prize winner. I think she is going to be fabulous as my primary care Doc. She had a plan for me and put it into motion immediately. I feel very good about her, her creds come from her program. Swedish is going to find they are lucky to have her on staff.

Though not my regular doctor, I was pleased to fit into Dr. Karlsen's schedule for a UTI that needed to be treated. She was very attentive and helpful, had some good suggestions, and ordered the treatment that I needed.

I was pleased with this doctor who will be my PC doctor going forward.

I had an excellent experience with this doctor. She actively listened to me and seemed genuinely interested in what I was saying. Highly recommend her!

I really appreciated being able to see an internal medicine practitioner. While I do like my primary care practitioner, I do not have a need to see someone who is family medicine-oriented, as I do not have any children nor plan to in the future.

Very good overall experience!

Attentive, compassionate, solution oriented, validating
