What the scorecards measure

The numbers on each card come from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live star average, volume is how many patients have rated the practice compared with the others on this page, and confidence weighs the rating by that volume. Recency shows how recently reviews are still arriving.

What does a primary care visit cost in Puyallup?

We don’t have reliable local prices for primary care visits, so no figures appear here. What a visit costs depends mainly on your insurance plan and its copay or deductible, whether the visit is routine or problem-focused, and whether labs are billed separately. Ask each office what a new-patient visit costs with your plan, or what a self-pay visit costs if you are uninsured, before you book.

Where these practices are

Every practice here lists a Puyallup address, in the 98372 and 98373 ZIP codes: MultiCare and Cunningham on 3 St SE, and Sound Family Medicine on 31st Ave SW. If you are searching for a primary care doctor near me in Puyallup, each listing here shows a phone number and a map link so you can check the distance from your home or work.

Questions for a new primary care office

  • Are you accepting new patients, and how long is the wait for a first visit?

  • Are lab draws done on site or somewhere else?
  • Who would I see for follow-ups, and can I book with the same provider each time?
  • Do you offer telehealth or same-day visits for minor illnesses?
