Patient Stories

Dr Zhang and her staff have been so kind, accommodating and they go above and beyond for her patients. She met my dad with anything needed with warmth and kindness. She truly cares. This time has been so incredibly hard for my dad and to know that Dr Zhang is there is so completely comforting. Thank you Dr Zhang and your staff…

NWMS, Northwest Medical Specialties, Olympia, provided the best care I experienced! All of the staff are very professional, courteous, and friendly. Dr Dadla took his time explaining, medically, what was going on and in layman’s terms =D. He put me at ease the moment I met him, he is compassionate and caring. The professionalism and friendliness of the whole team is outstanding from Dr Dadla, his assistant, the lab phlebotomist, and both receptionists. I can’t even put into words how welcoming NWMS Hematology Infusion Team is. Amy was very gentle, pleasant and informative. She was patient with me and my many questions. She took time to get to know me and my concerns, and took the time to explain each step she was taking. I was able to observe the whole team, and unfortunately do not know their names, but all were so gentle, kind, informative and made all patients comfortable and relaxed. I am so glad I have NWMS as part of my medical team.

Dr Dadla is a great doctor The nurses at the infusion room are like angels sent from Heaven

I am a new patient and had the pleasure of working with "Josie" who helped me navigate all the areas I needed to address in order to schedule an infusion. Josie was very knowledgeable, efficient, and is a credit to NWMS for her kind and compassionate manner. She handled every aspect of appointment scheduling and I am grateful for her help. I never felt rushed and I appreciate her expertise.

I have CML. Dr Agastya is my Doctor. My wife and I have met with him twice. We like him beyond anything I have seen here. He is articulate, well spoken. He knows his stuff. We feel that I am in the hands of a knowledgeable articulate and very good Doctor. We asked difficult questions and got honest answers. He is clear and speaks with knowledge. I feel he is to be trusted with my life decisions. Even the staff, receptionist and lab person were excellent. I will be returning! Lol. He shook my wives hand gently and mine was as strong a handshake as I have ever had. The facilities are top shelf too! Very nice center for Oncology needs. It's a very nice place to do your medical needs.

We just move here from California. I need to find a new Primary care provider and Oncologist . My Dr refer me to NWMS . I'm so glad because not only very close to the house, they are all very nice especially Dr. Dadla very knowledgeable and kind.

Since I have never smoked, I was shocked to find out I had inoperable stage 4 lung cancer. I was referred to Dr. Li Zhang's office at Northwest Medical Specialties (NWMS). Because of her extensive knowledge and dedication to the latest research, I felt that I would receive excellent guidance and care. Dr Li Zhang, along with her wonderful staff, planned, explained and scheduled all of my tests, scans and appointments. Within days, my individualized treatment began and I went from being in constant pain and feeling lost and hopeless, to feeling more like my old self again with renewed energy and hope for the future! I'm still going to Dr. Zhang for my treatment and feel so thankful for the care provided. If you are struggling with a cancer diagnosis and don't know where to turn, I highly recommend calling Dr. Zhang at NWMS for an appointment.

All the staff here is wonderful! But Kristin is a step above in patient care. She's extremely kind, patient and understanding with genuine empathy and compassion . I'm very thankful to have her as part of my care team.

We had a very good experience with our appointment, we were so glad to get in to see the doctor!

Kristen Mellen ARNP is a true asset to NW Medical. She has wonderful people skills and explains things in a manner that is understandable. She takes her time, listens, compassionate, funny, and is a pleasure to see on your visit. Thank you! T.Ewing
