Mary E Skrypzak, MD

A few years ago… I had one of the most horrible times of my life. My water broke early and I had delivered my baby boy a still born… I was in a horrible abusive relationship. I went through 2 late term losses with dr. Skripzak. I was young ..17&18 years old. Dr.Skripzak….. gosh I don’t even know where to begin without telling my hot mess of a story. Dr.Skripzak was so compassionate, professional, honest, and gave just the right amount of tough love when needed. That last one Is really hard to do in general but especially because I am very sensitive. She cares, Truly. She is good at what she does. Despite my horrible experience I had. I couldn’t have had a better Dr. by my side who could have done the job better. Even through my pregnancy in general. She heard me. She was. Dedicated. Honest. Communicated efficiently. Thank you Dr. Skripzak. I’m not sure if you’ll remember me but I’m going to try and reach out to you right after I post this. I have two beautiful babies now. I think about you all the time.

Worst possible experience I could have ever imagined. Words just cant do it justice... She ignored 70% of what I said, shamed and judged me for my contraception choices, did not listen to my concerns and continually tried to shove birth control down my throat when I said that was not what I was there for. Never once addressing my likely infertility issues, not letting me voice my questions and concerns because she was too busy shaming me. I expected a little slap on the wrist talk, but she tried to stone me to death with it. She is a doctor, not my mother-- my mother judges me less! And when I expressed concerns about a sharp decrease in my sex drive I was essentially told its in my head! If youre tired of being treated like an untreatable-nutcase-problem patient, dont go to her, she will just amplify that!

Dr Skrypzak was AWESOME. She was on time, to the point, quick, knowledgeable, an efficient decision- making, and took effective actions.... couldn;t have asked for more. Her assistant and front desk people were equally supportive, kind, and efficient. I look forward to her on-going support. Kathy Masarie MD

Dr. Skrypzak is fantastic! As a patient, I look for physicians that will help me and work with me on my health... Not work ON me. She respected my feelings and input while offering extremely professional and compassionate care.

Dr. Skrypzak, is amazing doctor and I will never forget what she has done for our family. Attentive, gentle, caring, understanding, most importantly honest and knowledgeable. On tough days she would lift me up with supportive comments, knowledge and even add smile or a joke. She is the reason why I am a busy mom of 4 kids today.Nurses both at the clinic and at the delivery center worked very hard under her supervision to make sure Dr. Skyrpzaks patients received excellent care. I had amazing experience delivering my first one with her.With other doctors, I had failed epidurals, careless nurses, doctor that my husband had to grab in the hall and physically push into our room as I was screaming from uncontrolled pain, due to poor communication between staff and wrong measurements.Top it with the 2nd delivery where doctor barely made it and my 3rd delivery where my girl was born on her own on a thin paper that beds usually lined with, into my sister and my husbands hands, as nurse kept re-paging the doctor, who walking into the room surprised, 5min later wondering why she was paged if head is not even there... and then I was scolded for following nurses instructions. Every time when things would go wrong, I caught myself thinking This would have been different if Dr. Skrypzak was here.With all of that roller coaster, I still went for my 4th one because of that first delivery with Dr. Skrypzak and was praised by Head Nurse of the hospital for coming back for the 4th time. This time delivery doctor would not live my room, my chart was red-flagged and hospital assigned a top decorated nurse, who was experienced and knowledgeable. My last delivery was excellent, even though my 4th one was shoulder baby which required emergency protocol to be implemented.Dr. Skrypzak is the hardest working doctor, professional, intelligent and 16 years later I still thank her for her hard work and for touching our lives in such special way. We wish her health, happiness and many happy successful years in the field she is so dedicated to and loves so much!

Best in the northwest.
