Sean P Lasalle's Online Review Report Card

Sean had me up and going in about a week after diagnosing my polymyalgia rheumatica. Great job by him and all the folks at Arthritis NW.

he was very thorough and listened to my requests and situation. I had mentioned being on the hypermobility spectrum but he did not discuss that point, hope its something to discuss at next visit.

Great information, listens to problems, offers solutions & has a good sense of humor. This made a possibly difficult situation feel a lot better. Great care.

Dr. LaSalle is always very pleasant and answers any questions I have.

Love love love Dr LaSalle

Dr. LaSalle was able to diagnose something that took 6 months and no other doctor could pin point. I am able to walk up stairs with no pain in my knees and my mobility is amazing right now.

I have been a patient of Arthritis NW for about 15 years. I can’t say enough good things about this group. My concerns are always heard and addressed. The entire care team is responsive and helpful. Dr. LaSalle is extremely knowledgeable, personable and genuinely interested in the wellbeing of his patients.

Never again. I was referred to LaSalle in Aug 2020 by my PCP. I just needed a confirmed diagnosis for fibromyalgia, which I've had for years. That's it, just a diagnosis. It took over 5 months to get into this clinic, partly due to Covid lockdown. His PA spent over a half hour asking me questions and typing my medical history into a laptop. At first he was polite but that stopped about 10 minutes into the exam. He started off by saying: "And fibromyalgia is NOT an excuse for going on Disability." Wow, I have no idea why he thought he needed to politicize my exam! I have OTHER THINGS wrong with me, over a dozen things including invasive foot surgeries that didn't work, CPTSD, etc. LaSalle then stated the obvious: that I needed to exercise (I was as much as possible considering every single gym in the area was closed due to lock down). He spent the last 10 minutes trying to sell me on an expen$ive naturopath who worked in their clinic a few days a week. I'm on Apple Health and I've been to naturopaths in the past when I could afford it. He also spend a lot of time fat shaming me while ignoring my hypothyroidism and hormone imbalances. Oh, and LaSalle? I DO exercise nearly every day and I'm STILL in chronic pain.

I have been in Dr. La Sale’s care for a few years now and I feel he strives to listen to what I have to say about what I’m experiencing and what plan is best going to benefit my quality of life. I highly recommend this Dr. And will continue with my health issues with him!

I appreciate Dr. LaSalle's no nonsense approach. He is detailed, organized, and doesn't waste time. I was a bit startled in our first visit about how honest and straight forward he is, but I find it refreshing. I know that he is getting to the cause and not wasting my time on chasing paths that he doesn't believe fit my symptoms. He was kind, informative, and willing to answer questions whenever they came up.
