"Dr. Seavey should be banned from medicine. My daughter in law is having a lot of complications in her pregnancy, she is high risk for early delivery. We went in for an emergancy appt with Dr. Seavey because of lots of bleeding and cramps, she is 19 weeks pregnant. Doc did and exam and an ultrasound, baby was good. After the exam, doc said that my daughter in law had an uterine infection that could potentially be life threatening to her based only on a foul odor and tenderness on her cervix and recommended induction of labor, basically wanting to kill the baby since the baby is not viable until 24 weeks pregnant. She seemed very offended that we were not going to follow her advice on inducing labor, she tried very hard to talk us into it. She said because it was a Catholic hospital, they wouldn't allow the induction because that meant the baby dies. So she said we would have to go to Swedish in Seattle to have the induction. When she realized that we were not going to do induction, THEN she says we can do a blood test to check daughter in law's white cell count and have testing of the amniotic fluid to see if it had spread to the baby at Swedish. NO INFECTION! Swedish didn't even have to test the fluid. If we hadn't listened to our gut feeling that Dr. Seavey was wrong, she would of talked us into killing the baby! I understand that mistakes happen, but this was a life or death mistake. She should not even have her medical license. I wonder how many other people she talked into killing their babies. Do not see this lady as an OB. She only gets a one star because there isn't a 0 rating"

"Do not trust these higher reviews, please cross reference other review sites for more accurate. I made the mistake of trusting one rating. Things to know: there will always be about 2 students in the room with you. They conduct the exams and procedures and he does not ask your permission to do so. My first appt was a PAP, and the students do that; It was the most painful i have ever experienced. When I cried, the doctor said to me "This shouldn't hurt at all, you have tattoos", and he laughed. I ended up going back because i had a cyst, and i just hoped it was a one off experience. He had the students give me the shots, cut me open, and drain the cyst. All while telling them "no not there, over there" or "go deeper or angle better this way". I was crying histerically from the pain and discomfort. AFter it was finished, he said "get yourself cleaned up, there wasn't that much blood". I went through an entire tissue box and napkins cleaning up the blood, and i was still bleeding. He did not offer a pad. I stuck my head out slightly to ask for a pad. Dr. Vu walked in with the door wide open to the office and staff while i had NO PANTS ON, and then laughed. I was still crying. I felt violated and traumatized. He told me i had to follow up in one week. I only went back because i thought i had to. When i walked in, he said "I assumed you'd cancel if you were fine", then told me i could go... No exam, just a 20 second conversation. Trust me if knew i could have canceled, i would have, but i was never given that choice. Later i receive a huge bill for that visit. When i called and asked to talk to billing, they gave me a phone number. I called, and she texted back saying doesn't matter its an appt if you walked in the door even if no services were provided. I called the office and they said "oh yea she doesn't like to talk to people; we communicate by email or text" WTF. and then she refused to talk or communicate and just said "Ok. Bye." when i kept asking. Luckily insurance had my back, and called with me to the office againt to get things taken care of. "

"Dr Saville delivered my two youngest children. I received the best care during both pregnancies, deliveries, and after care that could be offered. Dr Saville (imho) is a compassionate and carrying professional, with a great bedside manner. Thank you Dr. Saville, our lives turned out great because of you.

"Going to a gynecologist can be so intimidating especially after receiving a diagnosis. Dr. Parvin and her whole office staff has been consistently warm, professional and considerate. This is such a welcoming office and I recommend her all the time. "
