Dr. Paul Christopher Creelman

During a pelvic exam he made a rude & inappropriate comment. I will not return.

I usually see Sondra Beck, the excellent health care nurse practitioner in this practice, but yesterday saw Dr. Creelman for the first time. I was very impressed. He reviewed my file. I explained the symptoms that suddenly came over me a few days ago. Dr. Creelman listened intently, politely stopping me from time to time with questions that helped clarify or rule out. He showed me how to take my pulse and also asked me to monitor my blood pressure and scheduled an appointment to follow up in a week. Dr. Creelman is very thorough and clear in his explanations. He is knowledgeable and very thorough.

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Creelman for over 30 years. We always are able to get in if we have an emergency. Can always reach them by phone. The staff is exceptional also! Love all the nurses over the years, very caring and helpful. He explains himself many different ways. Sometimes we have a communication problem, but we stick with it until we understand each other. He really cares!

Dr. Creelman has been our family physician for over 30 years. We appreciate that we can get in right away in an emergency. He really cares about his patients. Some times we have a little communication problem, but we stick with it until we get it all worked out! His staff is excellent also! Love the nurses over the years, they are caring and helpful.

My doctor retired after being our family doctor for over 30 years, it took over a year to find a family doctor that would even take new patients. After being referred by a customer of our excavation company Doctor Creelman got me in right away got to a diagnosis and treatment right away., my wife and I are both very pleased with the Creelman practice and their amazing staff.

Dr. Creelman has been my doctor now for 16 years and was my fathers doctor for several years before that. I started with him in 2007 after coming down with pericarditis. He has saved my life a couple times. My father lived to 93 and died from an auto accident. He would have live longer as longevity is in our family tree. His sister will turn 100 in April. He had four other sisters that lived into their 90's also. When I chose Doctor Creelman I wanted knowledge and decisiveness in making decisions. If you want a doctor that is concerned about your health stop looking and choose Dr. Creelman.

Dr. Creelman is a very helpful doctor with many years of experience and tons of knowledge his staff is friendly and make you feel comfortable the moment you walk in the door.

Rude office staff! I just called Dr Creelmans office to make an appointment. They have an office policy to charge $110 over the phone before I come in to my first appointment, that they will not let me know what the charge is for, it's just an extra add on in order to make an appointment. I got a sarcastic response from the girl who I was trying to make the appointment with when I asked what the charge was for and she transferred me to the billing agent who was even more sarcastic about the policy when I asked what the charge was for, she said it was just their policy to charge new patients an extra $110. She had no answer for what the charge was actually for and hung up on me when I said I've never heard of such a thing.

My visit sucked. I was the only person in there. The good Doc came across as opinionated and judgmental. Then he started asking unrelated questions and dropping in quiz questions. Like I was supposed to know the answers to his made up quizzes. He did make me feel weird. Needless to say I practically ran out of there. Oh! He also looked 20 years older than that stated. He needed to retire years ago. I really hope this helps someone9.

This man needs to retire. The first question he asked me was if I was mad at God. What a dumb question. He told me that I didn't have a problem with my BP (which is the reason I came in) "but take the medication I prescribe if you want, I don't care." He changed my antidepressant because he didn't want me on the one I was on. That was miserable. Ends up, I do have high BP,-was in the ER with 192/114 thinking I was have a heart attack. He never ordered ANY blood work - I was notified in the ER that I now have hypothyroidism. Dr Creelman bad mouths orthopedic doctors. He is out of touch and has a GOD complex. Time to hang it up doc!

By far, the most judgmental doctor I have ever encountered. Lots of preaching, as clearly his own faith comes before his professionalism. Not willing to really listen to patients... once he’s made up his mind about you, that’s it. I was literally told during an appointment, “you won’t lose weight from exercising”. Um, really? Now let me be clear, the staff at this office is AWESOME. Cindy is fantastic, as is everyone else I have dealt with there.... but never have I been treated this poorly by a Dr. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for care.

They were quick and efficient , staff are so nice.

HORRIBLE!!!! I saw him for chronic back pain and had my medical history with me. He did agree that my L1 thru L5 disks were toast, but that he could not do anything for me. I also saw him for anxiety and was told that 3 beers were equal to 1 anxiety pill. Basically drink 6 beers per day!!! What kind of advice is that??? The Hippocratic oath states that a doctor is to treat the ill to the best of one's ability. Maybe he should review the oath.

I am writing this review for my 80 year old mother. I have to say, reading some of these reviews surprise me. I guess it shouldn't because people who are happy with the outcome or diagnosis rarely hardly leave a review. Perhaps we need to be more honest and tell the whole scenario in full details, not selective ones. As I said, I am writing this for my 80 year old mother who lives in Spokane. She saw Dr. Creelman for her knee that was so swollen and very painful, her MRI showed it to be bone on bone. The compassion and patience he showed my mother was so unbelivable that I am lost for words. I have to be honest also and tell you that I have worked for him for the last 21 years. He was very DETAILED on her comprehensive exam, he asked many questions and wanted details back, if that is a fault, then maybe we're not being fair. If my mother lived here she would be a n advocate for him. She was happy with his care and made the comment, "I know why you stay" He gets a 10 from her!

I have no confidante in "Dr" Creelman. He rushed in, scribbled some notes, told me he couldn't help me and rushed out. He made a comment that if there was some other thing wrong with me to come back. That will never happen. Then I got a call from the billing woman and she accused me of lying to her. When I said "you are accusing me of lying!", she said " no I'm not" and then accused me of lying. It was bizarre. Doc Creelman should retire. I will never set foot in his office again

He deserves a ZERO or MINUS rating! Similar to a previous review, he diagnosed me with sleep apnea and signed me up for a study and treatment despite me telling him I was NOT having the symptoms he described. In addition, he told me, "I have other patients to see and don't have time for you to describe everything that's wrong. Just tell me the worst thing you want me to treat." SERIOUSLY? How did this guy ever get licensed to treat anyone? The absolute WORST DOCTOR possible, IN EVERY WAY!

I would not recommend this office. Your choices are very limited in Burlington, but steer clear. There are better options. I stayed with this office for 20 years and have recently had excellent service at a walk in clinic at Skagit Valley Hospital. It made me realize this doctors office was not a provider worth staying at. They are also slightly rude/condescending, which is not what I am looking for when I am going to the doctor.

I just moved here & was trying to establish a Dr. The sign offered urgent care also. No such luck-they don’t have enough staff so urgent care needed an appointment-not necessarily even the same day. Then when I decided to make an appointment they tell me that they require $110 cash or card for new patients on top of their insurance coverage. I’m not even sure that is legal when patients have state insurance which they take.

Wish I could rate less than a 1. He’s the worst physician I’ve ever seen. If you go in with severe seasonal allergies, he will tell you that you have sleep apnea, even if you explain that you can’t breath while you are AWAKE! He’s trying to make money off of those machines, I swear it. Luckily I saw a specialist and he immediately booked me for surgery to remove my enormous tonsils and adenoids, as well as reduce the size of my sinus tissue so my allergies weren’t so severe. Do not see this jerk

I recently moved to Skagit County, WA by was of Oklahoma City, OK. From the time I arrived at his office to the completion of my visit, the staff were all polite and professional. Dr. Creelman is honestly the BEST doctor that I've had (I've had many). He is brutally honest and tells it like it is. He disagreed w/ my opinion regarding my diagnosis and medication. He told me to take ownership of my health and didn't prescribe a thing! We need more clinicians like him!

Never have I met a more arrogant, know it all, god complex, person than Creelman. He will ask a question, then supply his own response, Ignoring the real answer. He does not listen, Makes no effort to get to know the patient and is downright abusive of his power.

I don't believe he is a real doctor. Someone should check his credentials. He is very rude, not very knowledgeable. Doesn't care about your medical problems. He is getting money for nothing but degrading you..This man should not be in practice.

I learned to appreciate life with him!!! What a wonderful doctor!

Dr.Paul CREELMAN was great very knowledgeable.........outstanding personality!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr Creelman has been my physician since moving to Skagit County in 1992. He has guided my family's health through both everyday living & crisis. I would recommend his care to anyone.

Dr. CREELMAN is straightforward and direct, he always takes time to answer all questions, bring a list. I definitely recommend him to friends and family.

Dr. CREELMAN is not shy about telling the patient how their situation can improve. He does not just prescribe a pill to help with your symptoms.

Very thorough with patients

Former patient who returned to area. He listens, is direct,and doesn't sugar coat issues. Offers good counsel. Staff are top notch.

I enjoy my visits with Dr. Creelman. He gives you direct info from pre-testing his professional nursing staff provides. He keeps complete notes and if excuses are heard from past visit promises, you'll be reminded of your treatment progress successes or shortcomings. You always leave with a course of treatment and a commitment to get better and get back to him either by phone or appointment. His lifestyle suggestions saved my life!

Yes I would definitely recommend!

I have been with Dr. CREELMAN FAMILY medicine for over a decade and as always satisfied with the care they have provided me and my family. Thank you.

Dr. Creelman is thoughtful, compassionate & HONEST. A doctor doesn't always tell us what we WANT to hear, but a good one will tell us what we NEED to hear. Dr. Creelman is that doctor. He is direct. He is genuine and he listens. Rare traits in medicine these days. If a patient were to be upset by what he states during a visit, I'd venture to say that said patient needs to look within. I had to, and I'm glad I did. Office staff is is unbelievably AWESOME & SWEET too.Professional on every level:)

Although I am a new patient toDr. Creelman he seems very thorough and does not seem to rush through your visit to get to the next patient.

I have gone to Creelman for my whole life (32+ years) and take my children to him as well. I would never go anywhere else. He is honest, thorough, and has been beyond helpful coordinating with Seattle Children's as needed. He is real, listens, doesn't push medications, and is simply brilliant. We completely trust his judgement and I feel lucky to have such an amazing physician.

He is harsh at first. In my opinion he is realistic. Dr. Creelman is caring. I think most doctors hold your hand through your illness. If you don't want to help yourself then he can't help you

Horrible place to go to. Would not recommend going there. Staff and doctor are terrible, and make you jump through a whole bunch of loop holes to get what you need. Doctor is very condescending and rude.
