Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I don't know what to do.
He is a great Doctor.

Multicare lost a great Dr
DR Addison was not only my kids dr but he was my mother inlaws and cared for her till her last breath. My youngest had been going threw things i wanted answer for and Dr Addison was a dr that if a parent wanted to know he was going to get to the bottom of it and i cant thank him enough for his care cause my son was days from not walking. We sadly moved back to texas for a few years and my ex stayed in wa, we finally could get my son who is now 22 back in to see him and we flew my son back to wa just so he could be back under Dr Addison care and sadly we got the email that he left. We have been searching for him in wa and i have been here in texas cause i know his wife was wanting to come back to austin tx, and ill say we will keep searching cause if we find him we will fly to just have him looking over our son again. Multicare lost a great DR.

Another Day Another Loss
Doctor Addison was not only my doctor but also my mother’s for well over 25 years. We had met when she had abdominal surgery many years ago and Dr.Addison was in charge. He did an excellent job then and continued throughout the years until she died. He was my doctor up until my appointment August 6th when I got the phone call telling me that Doctor had left the practice!!! Everything has been GHASTLY ever since. The person I saw on Friday was not a doctor but a PA and definitely not a good fit for me! So I WILL NOT be going back to her again!!!I only hope and pray the best for Doctor Addison and his family. He was the BEST DOCTOR MultiCare and the state of Washington could ever have had! We all miss him and are the better for having known him .

20 years, my doctor and friend
With great pain, I read an email telling me my beloved doctor was no longer available to me. If MultiCare has done something which caused Dr. Addison to leave, I would be most upset.

Bye Dr Addison
Me and my family have been with Dr Addison for 20 plus years. He delivered and care for both our children. I am totally distraught that he is no longer with MultiCare practicing. Looking for a new PCP is stressing me out. I have totally trusted his care for me and my family. Take care Dr Addison, Thank you for your compassion and care. I don't think we will ever find anyone with the ability to fill your shoes.

MICHELLE
I will never understand how some people get into the roles they are in. This woman couldn't be a face for radio her soul is so ugly. I've seen trashcans with more personality. She would be better used as a door mat if not for the garbage and filth you would track in when stepping on her. Michelle would make a great replacement for the cups used for urinary and fecal samples.

Best doctor in Tacoma!
Dr Addison has been my PCP for about 20 years. He listens and explains things, answers questions and makes me feel like my input is also important. Dr Addison is, in my opinion, one of the best doctors in Tacoma. He is thorough, intelligent and caring. Wait times can be long at times but having his expertise is worth the wait. MULTICARE IS BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH A GREAT DOCTOR WORKING FOR THEM. and I am blessed to have him as my PCP.

Dr. Addison has been my doctor for over 20 years. He is an I credible asset to Multicare. He is patient, thorough, curious, and attentive to each patient. He treats each person as an individual and cares deeply for their well-being. He is not afraid to think outside the box and will not stop until he has helped a patient resolve their medical concern.

Dr Addison - Favorite Primary Care Physician
Dr Addison always spends the time needed to carefully listen to health concerns, do any exam needed, and provide health services that are explained well. He is very intelligent, caring, and hold himself to high standards. My husband and I have been his patients for about 2 years now and hope to always have him as our doctor. It can take time to get an appointment with Dr. Addison because he is in high demand, and often there is some wait time at an appointment. But he is worth it! We trust Dr Addison, and he has made helpful referrals when needed. Multicare is very fortunate to have him in their Family Practice area. And we were fortunate to find him.

Dr. Addison keeps it real and really knows his stuff. His proactive support and advocacy is part of the care I received that I believed helped bring my miracle rainbow baby into the world. Yes, his appointments run behind but when he is providing my medical care, I felt as if I was the only patient and he addressed all my concerns with sincere and genuine patience...my concerns were his concerns. He is very lovable and because how he cared for my whole family during my hard pregnancy, he is an honorary family member.
