--Perfect!! I've gone to Dr. Dipboye for over 10 years now. He has always been absolutely professional, compassionate, friendly and very accurate in his diagnosis, treatments and referrals. My only concern about him 10 years ago was that he was a bit young. He's proven over the years to be a very astute and mature physician. Scott McClellan

I'm not much for doctor's visits -- even when I'm not feeling well, I tend to figure that it will blow over if I give it enough time. But as I start to get older, I'm warming up to the idea that a little prevention can go a long way to avoiding more serious difficulties down the road. So when I moved back to Seattle, I set up appointments with a few general practicioners to establish a relationship with someone before I thought I'd need it. Dr. Dipboye is one of the first few docs I met with, and it didn't take too many more stops before I was sure he was the right choice for me. Given my general crankiness of the subject of going to the doctor, Dr. Dipboye takes just the right approach: he gives very matter-of-fact advice, doesn't try to scare you with 'what-ifs', and strikes just the right balance between professionalism and personal interest. I find it a plus that he's close to my age and is physically active himself, so he understands and supports my goals not just to avoid sickness, but to maintain an active lifestyle. I haven't had any serious medical problems since I started working with Dr. Dipboye, so I can't say what he's like in that role, but if you're looking for a no-nonsense GP who also cares about your total health, I strongly recommend that you give him a try.
