This was an exceptional experience. I’ve had ‘smart’ doctors who were awkward and seemed to be annoyed by your presence and I’ve had friendly, attentive doctors who had to be walked through a basic diagnosis. Dr. Snitily was the absolute best combination - excellent bedside manner and clearly sharp as a tack. If I could rate this visit higher than 5 stars, I would.
Similar kudos to everyone on the team. By the end of the visit, I was still filling out intake paperwork because everyone was so quick to get to me. Often, you wait to be seen but not at this office!
Aug-2024
Dr. Snitily is kind, considerate, curious and compassionate so very easy to chat with during visits, and the most obvious requirement, incredibly competent and thorough. When my symptoms evolved and worsened with time, he gave several options of how to both properly diagnose and treat them. Even thoughthough I initially saw him for shoulder issues, when I had symptoms persisting after a fall in the week prior to a visit, he was quick to get an X-ray to discover the damage so I could know the limitations I should set to not worsen it. He is incredibly smart and quick on his feet but explains things thoroughly even when I am having a repeat treatment. Easily one of my favorite doctors, and the facilities in both Seattle and Bellevue are comfortable and accommodating.

Jun-2024
Very professional and helpful. Thank you.
Jun-2024
I liked his relaxed and confident manner. However because he gave instructions so fast I missed things. I wish a hand out would have been given regarding what to do when I left. I’m sure he covered it but I was so nervous it didn’t sink in. I would still go back to him but be more assertive to get my needs met.
Jun-2024
I am wanting to get ahold of him to let him know that the micro needle procedure made my back feel worse. I am not sure how to go about doing that but I will call the office today.
May-2024
Reviewed x rays and MRI and clearly understands how to read them and explain to me. Thanks Brian!!
May-2024
I didn’t feel Dr. Snitily was very engaged and that my frozen shoulder was quite boring to him. It would have been helpful had he introduced himself so I knew who he was as he was dressed exactly as his MA…..Not a great experience. Not horrible just so-so.

May-2024
I am in pain, but it didn’t matter. it took 3 weeks to see this referred doctor , who I thought was going to start the procedure required by insurance company.., but instead it was a consult . By the time I actually get the corrective procedure it will be 6-7 weeks … and I’m in pain all that time . Everyone has an excuse or a reason why they can’t do better … very little problem solving

Feb-2024
Dr Snitily explained the procedure and care of the injection site after the procedure. He was courteous and professional.
Jan-2024
Knowledgeable and has very solid focus and steady hands (but uses beneficial equipment for precision, too) so injections, even in deep/painful places, are much more tolerable with him in control than other providers. This rating is my way of half admiring and half begging him not to leave for a solid 30-40 more years ideally though I’ll take a decade! :)
Jan-2024
He is so thorough in his explanations, offers the patient options for treatment let's the patient decide. Very kind doctor!

I recently visited Dr. Brian Snitily for a consultation regarding a torn hip labrum, and the experience was outstanding. Dr. Snitily possesses a unique ability to communicate complex medical concepts in a way that is easy to understand without ever making me feel overwhelmed or spoken down to. His respectful and patient-centered approach to education and care made me feel valued and well-informed. I’m fully confident in the treatment plan we’ve decided upon and would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Snitily to anyone in need of an empathetic and knowledgeable orthopedic physician.

Not every day you come across a really caring doctor. Dr Snitily is one for sure! We had a scheduling mishap (was told my appt was the following day of me checking in at desk) but Dr Sniitily made it work for us. He knew the pain level and the distance we traveled to see him and he chose to see us and provide excellent care today instead of making us come back. Great, caring doctor!
