Swedish Patient
The doctor treated my foot injury immediately, and scheduled at the same time a follow-up visit in 2 weeks. Excellent.
Swedish Patient
She's the best podiatrist I've seen
Swedish Patient
Wonderful podiatrist and team. I'm very thankful to have her in my corner.
Swedish Patient
The provider listened very carefully and took time to understand my issues, which was extremely refreshing to me. It did seem like they were seeing me in a rush since they didn't quite breakdown some of the technical terms they were using but I was able to look them up later from reviewing the visit summary.
Swedish Patient
Dr. Higashi knows her stuff. First doctor that has developed a plan for my foot care. Best doctor ever!
Swedish Patient
My primary doctor is very poor at responding to my heath issues.
Swedish Patient
I am completely satisfied with my recent visit with Dr. Higashi. She was thorough In examining my foot and clearly explained everything about the condition that led to my appointment, even answering some of the questions I had intended to ask her before I even broached the subjects. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with a similar condition.
Swedish Patient
Excellent care
Swedish Patient
This provider was outstanding. I got the help and information I needed.
Swedish Patient
Dr Higashi and staff were very professional and I'm very pleased with the level of care. My only reason for not giving a better score is because this is a lot of new information and I don't know how to follow up if I need clarification.
Swedish Patient

I am still responding to the directions of my care provider, I will be getting PT at my assisted living facility pretty quickly. I have been following her directions to care for my foot, ankle , shin, and knee. Thank you!
Swedish Patient
The experience was excellent
Swedish Patient
My appointment was for 8:05am, but I was first sent to xray (not open until 8:30am). When I expressed my frustration, the staff and Dr. Higashi immediately addressed the issue. It was concerning to me that I clearly had an appointment that required an xray, but xray wasn't even open - not efficient. Dr. Higashi and her staff are fantastic - proactive, honest, and respectful. I would recommend Dr. Higashi to anyone - great experience with her.

Swedish Patient
I was able to get care right away.
Swedish Patient
Appt was scheduled by provider's office after I sent MyChart msg that I thought I had another ingrown nail. When I tried to schedule on line. I couldn't get in until January! I am very glad Dr Higashi made room to get me in.
Swedish Patient
Dr Higashi and her team were excellent

Swedish Patient
Dr. Higashi is great! I was lucky that I was on the waitlist, since the original appointment was two months out. I was fortunate that an appointment opened up within a week instead. Dr. Higashi spent a good amount of time with me, but did seem a bit rushed at the end.
Swedish Patient
I'm satisfied
Swedish Patient
Excellent
Swedish Patient
All my providers are outstanding
Swedish Patient
Superb podiatrist with excellent recommendations for needed supplies to cure problem. Very kind, attentive, understanding, and thorough.
Swedish Patient
This was a first time appt with Dr Higashi, and she was fantastic. She showed me the X-Rays and explained what was wrong with my joints/bones. She gave me options for future care and even made a temporary pad for my insole. I am very pleased with her and her assistant.
Swedish Patient
Dr. Higashi's "bedside manners" are exceptional. She listens well and provides needed guidance. She responds on MyChart in a timely manner. The only issue is the wait time for an appointment which tends to be 2-3 months. Everything else was fine including the MA and X-ray technician.
Swedish Patient
Dr Higashi is great. She takes time to listen and explain. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Swedish Patient
I have a very good team of doctors and I feel very well taken care of.

Dr Higashi confirmed my suspicions and made sure I understood the results of the x-rays and possible prognosis.
Swedish Patient
Dr. Higashi is very personable and professional.
Swedish Patient
Dr. Higashi has gone above and beyond in her care for me. She made all of the relevant information exceptionally clear but in a manner that was not frightening or complicated. When I developed other issues while under her care for an injury, she made sure to also address these new problems. Dr. Higashi is not only a wonderful doctor but she is also incredibly kind and compassionate, which is a rare combination.

Swedish Patient
I've seen three podiatrists in the last 8 to 10 years. Dr. Higashi has been the most helpful. The only downside is that Dr. Higashi is booked out way in advance. You have to wait weeks if not months to get an appointment.

Dr Hagashi was well-versed with my foot/toe condition when I saw her for the first time on this visit. She had been referred by my primary podiatrist for a medical opinion, which she graciously and informatively provided.
