  0 0 I've been seeing Dr. Scheve at Seattle Women's Clinic for about 6 years now and couldn't be more pleased. http://www.minorandjames.com/services/obstetrics-gynecology-ob-gyn-womens-health-wa.php Sorry to hear that Elbie started to have issues with that clinic. I've got some non-traditional issues and they've been wonderful. They are SUPER queer friendly, too, which has been great for some of my pals...for both routine exams and for the healthy baby they just birthed. And I've just learned, in the last few years, that I have 5 other friends seeing different doctors within the Seattle Women's Clinic, and they all love their doctors, too (one friend lives in Tacoma, but always made the drive for her doctor. Even through her pregnancy and delivery, she felt safest withe them for her high-risk pregnancy). Dr. Scheve, in particular, has such a delightful bedside manner. She's very friendly and open, truly listens to me. At our first meeting, she had to be "scolded" by her nurse for chatting too long with me before the exam had even begun (she meets you in person and you chat before you change into the gown. So you get to meet as a PERSON first, which is nice). Honestly, her nurse is friggin fantastic, as well. The Gardasil vaccine takes multiple-visits, and I was having trouble missing so much work to get the shots (I work in Everett, but drive downtown because I love this doctor so much) and her nurse was able to change her personal schedule to help me out, which is amazing! Their clinic made the choice to eliminate all drug reps several years ago. They wanted to be doctors, not drug pushers. Minor and James, as a whole, made the same choice a year or so after Seattle Women's Clinic did, and had some push-back from some of their clinics, but Seattle Women's was able to proudly proclaim that they were already doing that. Also, and while this isn't related to the medical care at all, their office has the MOST GORGEOUS VIEWS of Seattle. Honestly, breath-taking from the 15th floor of the tower. I tend to take their first appointment of the day, so I miss less work, and watching sunrise over the water...great stuff!

  0 0 I LOVVVVE Dr Anna Daniel at Seattle OBGYN http://www.seaobgyn.com/daniel.html Everything I (a neuro nerd) want in a doc: exceptional expertise, amazing bedside manner, GENTLE (for this field in particular!), and funny... she has it all. I have a hunch if she isn't available, the others there would be a-ok. That said, before finding them, I went to Seattle Women's Clinic right down the road (1229 Madison) and while for regular stuff they were totally fine, when problems eventually arose, they showed their squeamishmess in dealing with anything but traditional birth control-pregnancy-healthy babies, so I swapped out, despite ALL my records/my PCP who is the best.doc.ever being in their practice (that would be Dr. Hodges at Minor and James; Swedish is definitely the largest/most accessible system in town, though I'd argue Virginia Mason by far has the best HOSPITAL for overnight stays, in part because they can actually cater to dietary needs without starving folks on jell-o and decaf folgers!)... Good thing about OBGYNs=until you get pregnant, they're a bit like psychiatry--they handle that stuff and unless you have VERY special circumstances (in which case the specialisty handling your condition--neurology, rheumatology, etc--would be most critical), they do their thing while others do their own. It's like a separate little part of our worlds except for systemic issues or pregnancy risks. I feel TOTALLY okay with her managing my "doctors are the worst patients because they want to control everrything" care and truly being half of every decision in this regard, and if I were able to be pregnant (got that nipped in the bud but still use barrier protection of course for STDs!), I would cry if she went out of town and couldn't deliver because I would fret about the one who was in part helping raise my fetal wunderkin being absent for the birthday party. Hope that helps. There probably *are* great gyn's at M&J, and if you want a quicker appt, I'd seriously say make whatever's FASTER for the meds and see Dr Daniel whenever she can get you! THAT SAID, ANY primary can do that here--they can give narcs, birth control, even advanced biologics while you're in transition--that's why I heart Hodges, too. He is a god amongst wannabes, and remember, I'm that "worst patient for bad doctors, best patient for rockstars" and he likes me just fine, cause he kicks bootayyyy and has SUPERB humor! M+J have 2 total rock stars, him and Davies, should you ever need an endo. I admittedly don't know too many too well and have a policy "don't go to a colleague for care" as that=awkward!!
