"He is the most wonderful man…explains everything so clear…and cares about his patients. We are so grateful that he was the doctor that came and talked to us, and led us to understand the best decision for our daughter. "

""Dr. Haslund was to provide me with a consultation on an abscess, and a CT result for my liver. Instead of consulting, he cut open an abscess in the medial gluteal area without anyone else in the room, packing it with gauze, and telling me to "pack it with a long q-tip like stick". I couldn't even see the wound, let alone reach it. The pain level was a 7 (on a scale of 10) and he acted like it was no big deal. I had to go to urgent care where the nurse re-packed it and referred me to wound care. The abscess wouldn't heal, then was infected. I ended up in ER where he happened to be the surgeon on call-where we heard the PA in the ER tell him "but Dr. Haslund, we aren't comfortable doing that." They came in and cut it open again. The wound didn't heal again, for 6 weeks, so I left Kaiser and went to Swedish where I ended up with 4 additional procedures to correct his errors. DO NOT SEE THIS DR! He is rude, disrespectful and doesn't know how to heal his patients.""

We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.

All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews.
