      Same. Labella was my surgeon for torn ligaments etc. So kind, caring, helpful, genuine. Nurses and front desk staff friendly, great with returning calls promptly.

    Echoing Margo; Dr. LaBella is kind, thorough, skilled, and helped me through some incredibly difficult injuries.  Everyone in the practice that I’ve interacted with has also been wonderful; so nice to see them here on the blog!

  • Keith January 24, 2024 (5:09 pm)

    Dr. Labella is so great! When I’ve seen him I got all the time, attention, and answers I needed. And a satisfying resolution to my issues.

  • Sue H January 24, 2024 (5:41 pm)

    Dr. LaBella is the best!

  • Tracey January 24, 2024 (6:48 pm)

    Who doesn’t love Dr. LaBella!  Ditto to all above.  If you have foot problems, there is no need to venture off the peninsula.  

  • Ditto January 24, 2024 (7:06 pm)

    I recommend Dr. LaBella ALL the time! He is exactly what I want in a medical professional: knowledgeable, takes the time to both listen and explain the situation, cares about my needs, and a genuinely kind person. I’m so glad we have this crew right here in West Seattle!!

    My custom orthotics from WSF&AC have been a life changer for me. I highly recommend them.

  • JW January 26, 2024 (9:01 am)

    A shoutout to Dr. Schwanke as well. My son has seen him several times and has had nothing but great experiences. Knowledgeable about the latest treatments, listens well, and has a certain cool guy factor that is appreciated by my teenager. :)

    Such an excellent group; trained by the best to assure the highest quality of care for everyone.  Staff is superb and while I am partial to Dr Matt LaBella I would be remiss to fail to note that it would be uncharacteristic of him to not be surrounded by nothing but high caliber colleagues and staff.  This is group has always been superb, will continue to be, and I love everything this group stands for and all it does for so many so well!  

Sorry, comment time is over.
