I am amazed at some of the comments left here. I loved Karen when she was in Lynden, did not ever want to go to anyone else! When she moved her practice to Anacortes, I was ecstatic, as I had moved to Anacortes. Karen is THOROUGH, intuitive, thoughtful and sharp. She has helped me in MANY ways and I am very glad I have her as my physician.

I've been seeing Karen since 2015 for wellness visits. She is always thorough, professional, courteous and patient. She answers all my questions and spends extra time discussing lifestyle choices with me. I would highly recommend Karen, especially if you're interested in wellness, as opposed to taking medicines to treat whatever ails you. Karen will be an enthusiastic supporter in this endeavor.

Karen is currently practicing at Island Family Physicians in Anacortes. I have never had such a arrogant, condescending visit with a health care provider as with Karen. This woman should not be seeing patients. To Karen, all that matters is her opinion and she does not listen or care about the patient. Honestly I have never complained about a health care professional but in this case I am compelled to warn others of her. I will never go see her again.

I was very disappointed with my initial appointment with Karen Goodman. I felt very rushed. I did not feel heard. I had one concern, and the validation of that concern was absent. Even a couple minutes of eye contact would have made a world of difference. I will give her the benefit of the doubt that she is adjusting to a new office and learning the new routine, but I will not be returning or recommending her care to anyone.

Most uncomfortable PAP i've ever had. As if she doesn't do them very often. Cold, heartless persona. Clinical, rushed, rude. No care or concern for the individual PERSON just canned medical answers. Wasn't given the opportunity to ask any questions I had and wasn't given any explanations of the procedure or results of the test.

Told my elderly mom she could either take or not take her blood pressure medicine because she didn't really need it.

Condescending - doesn't listen - makes you feel like you are wasting her time
