Dr. Gabrielle Worzella, DO

Saw her three times for various issues. Didn't ask many diagnostic questions and was generally dismissive. Didn't seem interested in my answers. Practically rushed out of the door each time. Discussed my private health information with the door open to the hallway. When I asked for instructions on how to do a steam tent, she sarcastically responded: "Ask your grandma." Seriously? Lady, my grandmother is dead, what is wrong with you? Refused to refer me for genetic counseling after I'd told her that my Mom had just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's because "it's not generally thought to have a genetic component to it." That is false. Each time I met with her, she couldn't be bothered to keep the door closed because "I have other patients to see." Like, hey, you haven't finished speaking with me yet! Generally just the worst medical practitioner I've seen. Do not recommend.

Amateurish. Didn't even take the time to listen to my case. Formed an opinion before knowing the facts and suggested treatments that were irrelevant and dangerous. Please avoid this "doctor." There are so many better doctors out there who actually care.

I saw her in the walk-in clinic at Virginia Mason Edmonds twice in 2 weeks for what I felt was pneumonia. First time she sent me homE with an inhaler after zero diagnostic tests. She glared at me constantly both times. Last visit, she finally ordered some mechanical tests for the lungs. I passed and that was going to be it until I continued to push her. Got a chest X-ray. Mass in my lung. Wouldn’t touch me after that. Referred me for a cat scan and sent me home with no medication. Did the cat scan but stopped at the EVERETT Clinic walk-in on the way home because I was coughing up blood tinged sputum, I was prescribed some heavy duty antibiotics. Saw a pulmonologist a week later who sent me for a follow up chest X-ray. Surprise! The mass was gone. The pulmonologist said there are pneumonia’s that can cause lung masses. Ms. Worzella is not only incompetent, SHE’s DANGEROUS!

I saw this person at Edmonds Family medicine in Washington. It was the worst doctors appointment I have ever had, and I was in the Army. She would ask a question, interrupt me when I tried to answer, and then ask the same question later. She was simply not interested in my problem. She spent most of the appointment telling me I should go somewhere else for medical care. She didn't outright accuse me of seeking pain pills, bit she implied I was there looking for pills. I would actually describe her behavior at one point as hostile, she just stared at me in silence, like she was trying to intimidate me in the exam room. I don't know what I could have done to deserve such abusive treatment. I didn't even get to say two sentences before she made it clear I wasn't going to get any help that day. I will say that her horrible treatment of me discouraged me from going to other doctors. And I would encourage everyone else to stay away from Gabrielle Worzella.
