Dr. Pardieck was excellent. Thorough, listened attentively to my issues, and had a comprehensive treatment plan to recommend. One of the most impressive things was that he noticed my Patient Portal wasn't set up and took steps to help me do that. He was clear in his directions for next steps, and left time for questions. Very satisfied patient.

Neurology Northwest has been truly exceptional. Every member of the team has been professional, kind, and genuinely compassionate. They take the time to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and make sure every detail is understood. Because they were so thorough and requested records from my previous clinics, I actually discovered that a procedure I thought had been done elsewhere was never performed. I would have never known without their diligence. I'm incredibly grateful for their care and attention. I truly hope they will help me to feel better .

He always listens and values patient opinions. He's very well informed and can like site research articles to back up his treatment plans. He lets me ask him any questions and I feel truly heard. My last neurologist didn't respect my value on treatment options and I feel like Dr. Pardieck always listens.

I am grateful that Dr. Zach prescribed a medication that will treat active migraines that doesn't contain barbiturates! Also, he gave me hope for weight loss by telling me that the verapamil might be responsible for why my diet stopped working. Much to his credit, he said he would refer to the stroke doctor as to whether it is medically necessary for preventing more strokes!

I cannot thank my Dr Zachary and Nurse Ashley enough for the exemplary care I've received. Their expertise, compassion, and dedication have truly made a difference in managing my migraine episodes. From our very first consultation, they took the time to understand my symptoms thoroughly, explain potential triggers, and work with me to develop a personalized treatment plan that actually works!! What sets them apart is their genuine empathy and attentiveness_every visit feels collaborative, never rushed. They've helped me navigate tough times with both medical insight and emotional support, which has been invaluable. Thanks to their care, my migraines are significantly more manageable, and I feel more in control of my health. I'm deeply grateful to have found such a knowledgeable and compassionate professional. Highly recommended to anyone seeking neurologic care, especially for chronic migraine management.
