I have had multiple bad experiences over the years but today really topped it off. I was in there for a routine physical and asked to be tested for a UTI, which I get frequent UTIs, so I am 99 percent sure I have one. They told me I have to come back for another appointment because it is not covered in a physical. I walked out and will never go back. Office is also pretty dirty and run down but I always tried to look past that.

I have been a patient since 2007. Without exception, I have been treated superbly by all the staff. They are caring, knowledgeable, communicative, and most of all, the follow-up is prompt. Dr. Repphun follows both my wife and me and does a superb job of listening and is diligent with following up. She also has a calming presence which gives me great confidence. I do miss the former office manager, Lacy.
She is such a bright light. The facility could also use a little bit of modernizing. Other than that, Tumwater is very fortunate to have this clinic and Dr. Repphun-she has even called us after hours and on weekends to discuss care!

Turned away for care because they aren't accepting new patients. I've been seen there many times over the years, but haven't been in over 3 years and am considered a new patient now. TFP not looking after a 20 year+ Tumwater citizen is really disappointing.

I was involved in a serious collision and although they weren't able to get me in as a new patient, they called me right back after I hung up on them and referred me to Sound Providers who was able to find a place to get me treated. Amazing job staff, thank you!

Doctors act like you are an inconvenience to them while you are there. Also when you are explaining your concern to them they basically have one foot out the door. Also billing decides they want to call you way after your exam to collect co pays and ask for more money without giving an explanation of your charges. 10/10 would not recommended lol
