Joy Schwobe, PA-C

"Answered all my questions and gave me extra time to ask the ones I needed to ask."

"I appreciated the nurse telling me how to get the information I needed if I forgot her instructions."

"Very pleasant and easy to follow from the start up of the Inspire."

"Pleasant and informative Professional"

"Love medical associates but I have to tell you your east clinic is seeing it's age.....The check in area is extremely busy, not a lot of room anymore to sit. May be time to think about investing for the future and remodeling the entire clinic.....Again, love my care you provide but you haven't changed that East Clinic in 30 plus years.....time to invest in a remodel..."

"Very satisfied as always!"

"Joy is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to."

"Everyone was fine, but seems like people are going thru the motions. Doesn't seem like a happy place to work. Just an observation. Have had my appointment rescheduled from Medical Associates side at least twice in a rather short period of time."

"great"

"Everyone was very good to me. I really enjoyed my experience at Medical Associates."

"This is the 1st time I met Joy, I felt very good abt the apt."

"Joy Schwobe is exceptional!! She listens carefully and explains medical information thoroughly. There is nothing I would want differently with my care at the clinic in Pulmonology."

"Lot of information to absorb. Practitioner answered all our questions and did a wonderful job explaining process. Still unsure if to go forward."

"Joy is a wonderful health care provider. I'd recommend her to anyone."

"Everything was very."

"Everyone was very courteous"

"Very satisfied"

"I received an unexpected possible diagnosis related to symptoms I talked about with the provider. She was quick to refer me to additional healthcare care, which I will need. I appreciated her concern and her knowledge of my issues. Still, I left the office in a bit of anxiety."

"I was impressed with what Joy recalled from my visit last year. I like the way she explains things."

"Nurse was very quiet and I could barely hear her. She was friendly. Love seeing Joy. Allowed me to ask questions and listened me. Flexible with my cpap and also made progress over the year with new machine."

"Very confident in Dr. Schwobe!"

"After being greeted at check in by staff that was wonderful, the rest of mu appointment went downhill fast. Had to wait an extra 30 minutes to get taken back by the nurse and once we were in the room, the nurse had no idea why I was there. She thought it was for a yearly c-pap check but I had been switched to a bi-pap just a few months earlier. Then she was going to take my blood pressure and I had to remind her I was an LVAD patient and she would need to use a copper to get a blood pressure on me. The nurse hadn't read my file or even scanned it briefly or she would have known these things. After the nurse left the P.A came in and we spoke about my bi-pap and the issue i was having with my nose pillows. No helpful hints came from her when I explained they were not working as expected. (Dry nose membrane, bloody nose occasionally, and them not staying inserted during the night.) I will try to get a face mask to correct these issues though. She was competent but not overly helpful but I would see her again. That was a $60 dollar copay I wish I had back."

"Very professional. Got an even better outcome than I was anticipating!"

"Joy is a knowledgeable and kind practitioner ."

"Easy and completed quickly"

"I'm very grateful for the excellent treatment I received."

"Joy was very kind and listened and explained thoroughly."

"I'm sick and tired of pointless check ups that are only used to get money from me. Taking a day off work to spend 3 minutes with the doctor is pointless. Everything that the doctor said and showed me could have been done on the phone. With everything costing so much taking a day off work and to drive 25 miles was quite costly for what could have been done on the phone. Complete money grab. If I wasn't forced by the government to have my his stupid machine and take pills to keep my job i would throw it all out and live my life not having any negative effects."

"Good visit and gave me good advice thanks"

"Yeah, my name is [REDACTED] and I'm just responding to your questionnaire. My frustration was that I had a sleep study like in the beginning of November and I couldn't get in to see the sleep study lab person until a month and a half later. And so that was pretty frustrating because it kind of affects my insurance because it's at the end of the year. And so that's my frustration. So that's it."

"Joy was courteous and clear. I heard positive info. The visit was worth the trip from Bellevue."

"Joy does a great job. She's very thorough and considerate."

"Providers like Joy are the reason im a patient at MA. Her kindness,professionalism and competence are excellent. Thank you Joy. YOU ARE A JOY"

"Friendly, well-informed, efficient."

"Joy Schwobe always does and exemplary job with warmth and professionalism."

"Dr Joy is always very kind and helpful."

"Very good explanation of sleep study."

"Very nice nurse and doctor. Had a great experience."

"Very good visit with lots of information on my health."

"Excellent"

"Had a very good experience"

"Long up wait time to see provider"

"She explained everything"

"It has nothing to do with the joy. It has something to do with setting up the Inspire. It's piecemealed. You know, the doctor does the surgery and then the pulmonary and the sleep study is in pulmonary and then you've got to set it up on your phone. Well, that can be a challenge for people. So that is my feedback for that. Thank you."

"Joy was pleasant and informative"

"very pleased"

"All the staff that I encountered were very friendly, helpful, and Professional! I really appreciate Medical Associates Doctors and Nurses!"

"joy is a very sweet person. she listens to my concerns."

"Can I order CPAP parts now"

"When I spoke with Joy, she said that they get feedback from the insurance sometimes two days, sometimes it takes two weeks. But when I went to check out to make my appointment, they would not even consider that I may get feedback before two weeks. I would like to try to get back in before that two-week timeframe. And she was just like, nope, it's two weeks. It seemed to me like they weren't even going to try to get feedback from the insurance quickly. So just a little bit disappointing. I don't think the lady that checked me out was very respectful. Thank you."
