Robert H Bayles, MD

I have to say Dr. Bayles and the entire office staff are fantastic. Being someone with diabetes, I’m particular about my general practicioner as I have to see him more often than the average person. I personally don’t need hand holding mushiness, I need the truth, level headedness and a physician who will share his knowledge about what is going on with my body. A little small talk and humor doesn’t hurt either. All qualities you will find with Dr. Bayles and his staff.
I live nearby so location is awesome for me. I used to see a Swedish physician downtown but finally switched b/​c the drive and parking was inconvenient. And no parking charges at the Redmond Swedish Medical Center! It’s also brand new so the facility looks great. And scheduling appointments have also generally been easy. I once got squeezed in at the last minute when I got a severe allergic reaction and needed some relief asap. The Swedish network is also something I love (yes, love). All your medical information gathered by Swedish physicians is online so there’s no confusion about your medical history or trying to remember every little thing.
Another much appreciated thing… everything runs like a well-​oiled machine. I get in, fill in some quick paperwork, pay my co-​pay and I’m in an office in less than 5 minutes. A nurse takes some information about my visit, gets some vitals and the doctor arrives in less than 5 minutes. When I’m done, my paperwork is being printed, don’t need to mess with prescriptions as they have been electronically delivered to my pharmacy and I’m done. Like I said, I see my physician more often than the average person and any extra time I can save not waiting around is a big thumbs up for me.
