Paul Haeder, M.D.

Informative, friendly, and gives clear diagnosis and treatment plan.

first time meeting Dr. Header. Really enjoyed his friendly manner And knowledge in dealing with my knee issues. He made me feel comfortable and gave me some answers to next steps for what is needed. I live on San Juan Island, but won't mind continuing to drive to Bellingham to see him as I already feel a good rapport with him was established. His assistants were also caring and wonderful!

EXCELLENT care, emphatic listener, Provided pain relief and a potential plan for me

No bull crap kind of guy. Gets straight to what is what and doesn’t beat around the bush.

Explained my options clearly as well as listened to my concerns

Dr. Haeder did a fantastic job fixing up my knee. Great guy to talk with, really easy going.

Straightforward and helpful.

Both an excellent surgeon AND a nice guy! Consistently good experiences with Dr Haeder.

Very professional very efficient

Highly recommend!

Personable and professional!

Great personality and he fixed my knee

Very attentive, professional and personable

Pain management protocol was followed with no pain thru the first two weeks. Excellent outcome.

Great visit

One of the finest hip replacement doctors in the US. He is gifted with outstanding patient communication skills and pleasant in relating how a patients needs can be met.

From start to finish, I felt that I had excellent care. He is warm and kind, funny and friendly. I felt 100% comfortable with him and they communicated great throughout the entire process. His office staff and physicians assistant and care team are top-notch. I couldn’t believe how they took a stressful situation and made me feel at ease and cared for.

Dr. Was in a big hurry didn't answer Pat. Questions no time poor visit,

Dr Header is the. Best !!!!!!

He gave me a referral to get an MRI. I have a $30.00 co-pay, I guess he made out on that one.

He dismissed my pain, and my injury. His explanation was the instability was all in my head. The only treatment he gave me was a second opinion at UW.

Great Doctor

Fantastic Doctor! Great personality! Did not rush me through my appointment and took the time to answer my questions and concerns. He was very aware of the pain I was in and was as gentle as he could be during the physical exam of my shoulder. If given the opportunity to rate higher than a 5 star I most definitely would have. I highly recommend Dr Haeder.

Best ever!

I appreciate his knowledge and his attention to detail. Great doctor!

Fantastic experience, super honest and personable.

Sending me back to work!

10/10

Dr Haeder had been so amazing with my care. I would recommend him to my friends and family.

On point and very friendly.

I researched Dr Haeder and feel very comfortable having him do the surgery on my “ Unhappy Triad” of a knee. I researched over 10 different doctors and surgery centers before scheduling with him.

Paul is a super talented guy. My surgery from making the appointment to the surgery to the careful medication schedule to follow up and communicating with my employer about medical leave ALL command high marks from me.

Very personable.

So glad I had this one replaced by Dr Haeder. Two months later I’m playing golf again!!

Excellent Dr. he is must understanding with a great bedside manor

Dr. Haeder certainly knows what he’s doing. My shoulder is basically back to normal. Thank You!

My rating will improve, once I have received his report of his findings, by email, of my visit to his office. Regards Richard Snell

Very helpful and answered my questions. I was just getting X-rays but he helped me develop a plan to move forward with my arthritis

Informative. Great bedside manner/demeanor. Extremely competent support staff. On time. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Always happy to see him..

Dr Haeder is such a personal doctor along with being one of the best in his field. He came highly recommended by friends and local medical individuals.

Great visit

He was helpful and answered my questions.

Very personable.

Fab surgeon with the best bedside manner.

I have had many doctors over the years. Dr Haeder is the best! He exudes confidence without the ego and and you have the confidence in him. He is very personable and takes time to answer your questions and makes you feel at ease about the procedure. I had a knee replacement and his staff called frequently making sure post op was going good. Can't recommend Proliance Pac Rim high enough!

Dr Haeder is very professional and is not eager to jump right to surgery. I enjoyed my visit today.

Exceptional. Listened to my concerns.

He’s a pro. Looking forward to more interaction

Thorough, and thoughtful conservative treatment options.

Very personable and I felt I was given sound advice.

Apparently he knows what he is doing, moved my arm and shoulder and said it was neck related and sent me to make appt with Dr Erin something.

Awesome…..I felt he was truly understanding my situation, and the injury that I am dealing with made me feel very good and confident in his ability to work on my shoulder!!

Exceptional surgeon for hip repacement. No issues, all good!

Paul was very friendly and took the time to explain everything and answer all my questions. Awesome experience.

Dr. Haeder was very personable, professional & happy. He was also helpful & informative! Great guy!

This was my first consult with him but was happy with his conclusion to not operate right away on my shoulder.

Such a great surgeon. Easy going and just easy to talk to and I saw my X-ray on my visit today. It’s Perfection! I just have to keep healing and NOT to fall. Thank you Doctor Haeder !

I just love him, very caring and takes his time with you!!

Very nice, professional, listened to my concerns, formed a treatment plan.

Knowledgeable

Excellent outcome from meniscus surgery. Superior follow-up care.

Wonderful bedside manner and listened to my concerns. I look forward to having you as my doctor and to get me better!

Direct and attentive.

Very forthcoming and provided confident care. Thank you!

Honest, straightforward, and kind. I appreciate his care.

Between my son and I we have been to Proliance 3 times. The only answer they ever give is exercise and physical therapy. I went in for shoulder pain in both shoulders. The exam caused me more pain than I was in when I got there because without warning the Dr pushed my arm way back. I ended up having to take some Gabapentin from my mom so I could sleep because of the shooting pain. The referral they gave me for physical therapy was only for 1 shoulder. I guess we just let the other one fall off. If all they are going to do is tell me to exercise then there is zero point in me going ever again. Regardless of what happens with my shoulder I won’t go back. I feel like they don’t believe us at all all and just think we are all lazy. I am sick of Drs who don’t listen to their patients at all. Dr Hader seems like a nice enough guy but I think the office just doesn’t want to actually help anyone. 6 weeks of no sleep because of no help is difficult at best.

Dr. Haeder was personable and very helpful for my consultation. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Harder is super nice and down to earth. I can’t wait for my surgery as I know he’ll do an excellent job!

Extremely empathetic and professional. Answered all of my questions and brought a personal touch that is often missing in medicine today. 5/5

I can not say enough about this office. Welcoming from the moment I walked through the door. My concerns were heard and taken seriously right away. I was sent for a cortisone shot and once it wore off I went back for a visit. Dr. Haeder took the time to realize I have done a check list of items that had failed me. He was on my side that it was time for surgery even though I did not fit in the “age range”.

My 1st appointment with Dr. Haeder. It went well and I was favorably impressed

Paul was personable as well as professional, very much appreciate his approach.

Competent, pleasant and likeable.

Very thorough, very conversational and prompt. Should I require further treatment or surgery I will definitively use Dr. Haeder.

Thank you

Doctor Haeder is very professional and caring. He is very good at fixing knees and mine is feeling so much better now.

Great job

Very kind and understanding. He was also very professional and clear about what is best for my situation.

Efficient,helpful. Shown what was torn and what to expect. I'm now seriously going to start my therapy. Thanks doc!

Very well informed and caring

Went to fast did not listen to my concerns

Super nice and to the point. No fuss no muss.

Awesome as usual takes good care of me. & my knee

Dr. Haeder was very friendly, completed a comprehensive assessment and took the time to discuss intervention options at length. I felt heard and Dr. Haeder ensured that I understood and agreed to the proposed plan of care. I’m feeling very confident in his care and would definitely recommend his services! The Pacific Rim office and clinical team were fantastic and the check in/out process was easy and efficient!

Personal, friendly, caring, professional, efficient , upbeat, and thorough.

He answered my questions and gave me options for my problem. He is always friendly and supportive.

Courteous, listening to my issues and I hope to get my problem solved.

Seemed rushed. Unnecessarily rough physical exam felt disrespectful. Did not inspire confidence in his abilities.

Wonderful bedside manners. Very friendly. Explained very well.

Felt very comfortable talking with him, good informational visit

Dr Haeder is very professional and kind. If I do need surgery, I know that he will help me to make a full recovery to get back to doing all the things I enjoy like skiing and hiking.

Knowledgeable and great to work with.

He's a nice guy. But it took three times as long to do the computer stuff. As it did for the appointment. All my medical history is on the computer. Witch you can access in thirty seconds with my permission just like you did with my exrays that were done over a year ago. My time is worth more to me than you can ever imagine.

Dr. Haeder did my hip replacement, and it couldn't have gone better. Excellent surgeon, caring demeanor, and he's incredibly competent. I will not hesitate to go back to him when my knee gets to that point.

Very clear communication: explains diagnosis, options. Friendly and approachable.

Very knowledgeable,a pleasure to meet

Excellent professional Doctor. Gave me all the options.

Dr. Paul Haeder is a skier and you can tell the moment you start talking to him he is THE guy you want in your corner. Looking forward to having him perform my ACL reconstruction later this month.

He is a great surgeon with an awesome personality. We are very pleased with his work on fixing my daughter’s ACL repair. Very approachable and answered our questions with a warm friendly manner.

Professional, personable, caring, listens. Very efficient.

Wow. Proactive and responsive to my immediate surgical needs. Empathy and clear plan. I am so impressed and grateful.

Dr. Haeder came into the room and offered orthoscopic surgery which a previous had not even recommended. Dr. Haeder was very pleasant to speak with.

Very nice young man made me feel at ease

Very nice to talk with .

Personable, professional, clearly explained options.

Great care and really knowledgeable

I had both knees replaced in a 7 week period. Every aspect of my experience has been fantastic. Staff are all professional and understanding. Dr Haeder explained the entire process in a professional manner and I was very confident from our first meeting that he would do an excellent job.

Joe Reid

I appreciate what he has tried to do for me and am grateful that we hopefully will solve this issue I am having because of his guidance and experience.A very professional and caring man thank you paul

Initial evaluation for knee surgery went well, I feel confident that the actual procedure will be successful and look forward to having more function than I've had in years.

After I left I realized I didn’t get any real information about what was broken.

Very personable and thorough. Highly recommend

He was very friendly and helpful.

Very kind and caring.

Dr. Haeder is an incredible communicator and surgeon. I knew what my surgical plan and progress was every step of the way, and despite my lack of experience and knowledge, he set detailed, accurate expectations outlining all steps in the process. My last words after our final follow-up appointment were, “Broken clavicle aside, this has been an amazing experience!” Thank you, Dr. Haeder, for making this a positive experience.

Patient, empathetic, and helpful.

Excellent physician that explains everything in detail and inspires trust

Efficient!

Fully explained all that would transpire. Calmed the circumstances down. Showed genuine concern. Very pleased.

Always professional and polite. He does a great job of addressing medical needs promptly while communicating clearly.

Dr Haeder has been excellent with both my teens who have had sports injuries. He has a way of telling them how it is while still empathizing with their frustration of missing games/activities. The only thing I didn’t appreciate is that he used a swear word in conversation with my son. I know my son has heard that word before but I don’t think it’s appropriate coming from a medical professional to a high schooler.

Great “bedside “ manner

Professional and Straight forward.

Dr Haeder has done such an exceptional job conservatively diagnosing my complex knee issue as well as going to bat for me with my insurance. I'm 1 week post-op ACL reconstruction along with some other significant reconstructions that needed to occur and this by far has been the most pain free surgery I have ever had thanks to his incredible narcotic-free protocol. So far I'm absolutely thrilled with the results. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and actually listens and explains thoroughly every question I threw at him!

Dr Haeder and his two assistants/scribes were excellent! They communicated well and were very friendly and approachable.

All Business, A+ for answering all my questions before and after rotator cuff surgery. Dr. Haeder is a very busy surgeon. Make your question list prior to your appointment so you get them all answered.

Thorough and personable!

Very happy with Dr Haeder.

Super nice.. good listener I feel like he really cares about you and your health and getting the person better

Very awesome!!! He knew exactly what to do to help me identify my pain.

Good experience

The best

He ls willing to take time with to explain things, ls friendly, and I am sure an excellent surgeon. I was fast asleep though so can't testify to that - LOL. My family has had work done by these fine physicians and I would definitely recommend them?

Dr. Harder is very competent, friendly, and personable.

Knowledgeable, very good patient relationship

My husband felt rushed and unimportant to the Dr. Our concerns were brushed aside and discounted. Dr Hader seemed to only be concerned with surgery or cortisone shots, which my husband clearly stated was not an option. All in all, we were both thoroughly disappointed and we will most likely find another Dr at another group.

Very nice doctor. High energy and friendly. I have total confidence with Dr Haeder and his staff.

Highly recommended.

Professional and knowledgeable. Puts patients at ease with delightful sense of humor.

Love that he speaks down to earth English so I can understand him perfectly.

Very informative and had time to explain and show future procedure on a model!

He's attentive, knowledgeable and very caring. He assessed the problem and presented the various courses of action very clearly. A great bed side manner and very understanding.

Dr Haeder shows that he really cares for his patients health and wellness. He is personable, knowledgeable and caring.

Dr Haeder is kind, caring, very skilled and his staff are wonderful also. I've had great out comes on two joint replacements now.

Dr. Harder is a great Doc! Friendly, compassionate and eager to help you feel better!

Amazing surgeon. Very professional bedside manner, and had confidence and ability to explain everything in a way that I could understand. Highly recommend.

Pleasant and informative. I have a better idea of my options and how to move forward with my treatment and am confident that PROS will take care of me.

Knowledgeable and pleasantly efficient. Listens better than many physicians. Highly recommend!

Paul is a no BS kind of doctor and I appreciate that Heard a lot of good from co worker about him and that’s why I chose him

Not too detailed just explains the overall details. Gets the job done but could have used a little more explanation .

I like Dr. Haeder’s casual yet professional manner. He instills trust and always makes sure my questions are answered. I appreciate his working toward getting me back to doing the physical things I love to do.

Very intellagent, excellent patient rapport. Thorough on plan to improve health. Communicates very well

Dr Haeder is very knowledgeable and understanding

This was my first visit to see Dr Header. He was highly recommended by friends and colleagues and they were not wrong. He has a great personality and was very efficient and knowledgeable. He explained what was wrong with my knee and what course of action is needed. I would definitely recommend him to everyone.

Seems competent, but doesn't engage with his patient (myself) well. Didn't want to take the 5 minutes it would have taken to answer my concerns and have a conversation with me about options. Seemed in a rush though he was 45 minutes late for the appt and my concerns were beneath what he had already decided for me.

Nice guy

Very caring, knowledgeable.

Nice guy , very thorough.

Very nice and informative

Five star. Hands Down. Great surgeon

Loved the efficient and straightforward communication and recommendations Dr. Haeder provided.

Dr Haeder really impressed me. k Knowlegable, personable, efficient . Listened to me. Exactly what I look for in a medical caregiver. Set out a [plan of action to deal with my rotator cuff issues. Recommend him highly. JPB

Awesome experience. He diagnosed my knee, got me in the next day for surgery and I am feeling a lot better. The only thing to think about in the future is if you have an issue, just pay for an MRI immediately so you don;t waste months on PT when it is obvious from and MRI that you need surgery. This is not Dr. Haeders issue. It's the crappy insurance companies.

Dr Haeder is excellent! He answered all and any questions related to my upcoming surgery without hesitation and with confidence. Everyone on his staff whom I individually came in contact with during the procedure spoke very highly of him which speaks volumes. I highly recommend Dr Haeder!

Articulate, hip, and cool!

Great Doctor, really cares about his patients.

Dr. Haeder, is an amazing surgeon who has twice replaced an anterior total hip replacement for me. My recovery time is cut in half with this procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Haeder for joint replacement!

Puts the caring in healthcare.

Excellent! Professional, courteous, caring and consistent follow up.

He is personable, listens and makes me feel confident about surgery.

Dr. Haeder and team gave me excellent care from start to finish. Dr. Haeder is confident, professional and very skilled. I would recommend him to my friends and family.

It’s 30 hours after surgery and Haeder’s team still hasn’t gotten 4/5 scripts into my pharmacy. Leaving a patient without a way to get pain meds is not great, especially as I’m struggling to get in touch with the team. They’ve lied about sending the scripts in multiple times. I also don’t have any instructions for PT and am struggling to set up appointments. I’m astounded by the incompetence. Very, very disappointed in the lack of communication, accountability, and general capability in performing basic duties.

Very quickly Dr. Haeder diagnosed my problem and made a plan of action to help it. I’m glad I went to see him.

Professional, friendly and helpful. Made 2 referrals and explained things well.

First visit I was very unsure about Dr. Haeder. My wait time was over 40 mins. so I know he got behind in his daily schedule. I felt confused at the end of the appt. Second and third appts. however went much better. I saw a very confident, reassuring, knowledgeable and caring Dr. with the perfect touch of humor.

He is extremely nice and tells you how it is.

Excellent bedside manner….very down to earth. Definitely recommend him.

Dr. Haeder is an excellent surgeon. He did both of my total hip replacements. I am impressed with his skill level, caring nature and overall excellence.

His advice wit PT and injection has so far been very helpful in relieving my knee pain has been successful

Dr. Haeder was positive before and after the surgery. He is very friendly and professional!

I feel rushed when I go for appts. I have some serious issues since having my surgery from Dr.Haeder. I feel he is dismissing me.

Super nice guy. Was busy apparently as I sat for an hour after my morning appointment time before being seen. I am not sure he really heard a word I said. Like I said, he seemed super busy though..

Dr Haeder Dr Haeder is the ultimate professional. He is warm, caring, listens carefully, and provides clear and concise information in response to questions. In spite of all manner of hip complications he agreed to do my hip replacement surgery. The surgery was completed and recovery was nothing short of miraculous. I would trust Dr Haeder to do any future required surgeries and would not hesitate to recommend him to others without reservation.

Very nice and easy to talk to. Funny and good sense humor

Took the time out. Explained everything to you. Very very nice Doctor. The whole staff very friendly

Immediately knew what caused my issue. And gave me a plan for going forward

the best

Dr Harder, is really nice. He has a a professional but sweet disposition.

He has a great personality and seems like a nice person. I am sure he is well educated. However, I didn't get any answers for my specific condition and left feeling like I"d wasted my time coming to the visit. Also, I waited 40 minutes until called back (20 minutes past my actual appt time) and then an additional 10 minutes in the exam room. I was on my work lunchtime and went way over my alotted time!

Personable, knowledgeable, didn’t rush.

Great doctor, to the point, answered all my questions and made me feel confident about my surgery. No BS and gets things done.

It has been 6 weeks since my hip replacement surgery and everything looks excellent. I couldn't be happier at this point. Dr. Haeder is very personable and concerned about how things are going. He is also very open about the surgery and recovery process. One major problem, however, is that the clinic's hip replacement manual lacks sufficient information related to the anterior approach and should be updated.

Dr. Haeder & entire experience was top shelf. I couldn't say enough about Paul's professionalism and/or my experience at Pacific Rim.

Dr Haeder was very kind & straightforward! He made me feel important in the time he spent with me.

Paul is extrodinarily personable and more importantly, perceptive and observant enough to notice that my shoulder pain could actually be caused by a neck problem. Anyway, it's good to have an ally like Paul to help me to stay active and to stave off complete dilapidation. :)

Was very happy with my services, put my mind at ease

Very straight forward. Explained my situation well.

I must be awfully old because he looks awfully young! What a great guy! Down home friendly , not arrogant or smug and really knows his stuff. I'm so glad to be with your group and the Dr.

Listened to me

Looking forward to getting ACL surgery

Excellent doctor explained everything and addressed all my concerns. Looking forward o having him as my orthopedic surgeon.

On time appointment. Communicates well.

Clear, direct conversation. Very knowledgeable, easy to talk with. Knows his stuff!

He obviously knows shoulders. He asked and he listened. He explained. He referenced the xray to let me know what it showed. He tested my arm. And explained. And provided a treatment. Much appreciated.

Great experience. Talked to you, not at you, and explained the issues and treatments.

Thorough examination, kind, gentle ... nice man.

Very personable and supportive of me trying to return to running without surgery, but if needed there is a procedure which may repair the torn meniscus and still help me return to running.

You were ready to treat and not make this go on longer.

Dr Haeder made me feel very comfortable as he explained the surgery he'll be doing. He clearly answered all my questions.

Super! Professional and kind. Answered all my questions.

He is friendly, caring, and professional.
