Dr. Blackham is absolutely terrific! He was willing to submit to my very scrutinizing interview and answer all my questions. I worked in health care for 11 years and had had an extremely bad vaginal delivery the first time, which required a c-section for the second time around. So, I grilled him with questions and had several things I wanted to have a say in that are not "standard" procedures during pregnancy and c-sections delivery. Dr. Blackham was completely respectful of my medical knowledge and personal wishes derived from experience. I had interviewed other OB's who were extremely offended by my candor and desire to be a "partner" in my health care. Dr. Blackham was completely the opposite. He went to work doing all he could to facilitate my wishes (none that would compromise my or our baby's health, of course!). He was also willing to research a little used treatment for my pregnancy condition, Hyperemesis Gravidarum, which I could not get other OB's to even look at. We tried the treatment with a conservative approach and it saved me from being hospitalized and spending my entire pregnancy just trying to survive (literally!). It saved my family from not having a mom (functionally anyway, as I was a lump on the floor on IV's and home health care). His office is small and not fancy, but comfortable and puts me at ease. I love the fact that he is not rushing patients through and cares about your comfort and modesty as a woman. His wife sews "moo-moo's" and real cloth cover-ups so you don't have to fight paper gowns, feel exposed to the world and cold. His receptionists have been wonderful to me. Dr. Blackham called me back on nights and weekends when I was so sick (before the treatment could be used) and has never made me feel rushed or like I was disturbing him. He is the perfect combination of extremely professional and knowledgeable along with being truly caring, respectful, and willing to "think outside the box" to provide excellent care for his patients. Dr. Blackham is the best!

I am so lucky to find this "state of the art" wonderful and kind doctor. I was bleeding to death and totally doctor phobic due to all other doctors trying to railroad/terrorize me into a hysterectomy. After sonogram, Dr. Jones got me on Natural Progesterone, which helped peri-menopause problems like hot-flashes, and reduced flooding, but I decided I wanted a Novasure due to continued bleeding and our suspicion of polyps. The in-office d&c and ablation was nearly painless, then a few weeks of occasional icky uterine cramping soreness, but now my periods are light to medium, not gushing. I truly feel like I dodged a bullet and Dr. Jones saved me. I could not find this medical help anywhere else, I know because I looked for over a year.

I have been a patient of Dr. White's since I found out I was expecting my first child, almost four years ago. During the pregancy, I was under the care of Dr. White and Maggie (nurse practitioner) and my baby was delivered by Dr. Brandon. I have also had the opportunity to get to know many of the nurses and support staff.
In my opinion the entire staff are incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and kind. Whenever I have an OB GYN related issue, I know I can trust these guys to 100%.

I have never been to a doctor who is more patient, caring, competent and reliable. I cannot imagine anyone having a negative experience. She is straight forward, down to earth, smart and creative in her thinking of how to solve a problem. I look forward to someday becoming pregnant and having her deliver our baby.

We were lucky to have Dr. Johannsen and the NW Women's Heath Care Associates for the birth of our son. Pregnancy is awkward enough, but I knew we would be just fine in their care. Any question or concern that I had were answered in a professional and timely manner (even the silly ones).
They went above and beyond to make our expectancy memorable and special for everyone. Dr. Johannsen did an unscheduled ultrasound so my parents (who were visiting from out of state) could see their newest grandchild.
I can not say enough good things about NW Women's Heath Care team.

My OB was not on call the night I went into labor, so Dr. Hannon delivered. I actually came away from the experience wishing she'd been my OB the whole way through the pregnancy! She ROCKS. She has great energy, seems to really care, was never patronizing or dismissive, was very encouraging throughout my labor and delivery and was of course very skilled. I felt so safe in her care. And I genuinely liked her as a person too. She was funny and frank and hip. She kept commenting on how she liked the music I brought with me, so I'm going to burn her a CD of it as a thank-you.

Dr. Cole's been my doctor for over a year. Besides typical ob/gyn stuff, like annual exams and related prescriptions, she's also been a great resource for other medical issues. I had a crazy bout of strep throat this year that she addressed (and directed me toward a great ENT doctor when it was clear that my tonsils needed more care than she should be giving). She's also very easy to talk to, takes notes when she's reviewing your file, and answers any and all questions candidly and openly. I feel like she really listens and I really appreciate that she's very straightforward about her suggestions without being condescending.
Her office is generally friendly and efficient - usually pretty easy to get an appointment. Parking is not bad - using the Swedish garage is $2 for an hour and my last appointment only took 45 min.

Cindi Brown is a competent, caring midwife. She is reassuring and respectful of the labor and birth process. As a birth and postpartum doula, I work with many midwives and careproviders and finally had the honor of working with Cindi. I hope to do so again.

Penny was one of my doula trainers back in 1999. I've read almost all of her books, taken several advanced trainings from her since. Love to watch her speak, because she's so full of passion and knowledge about women and families. We are so incredibly lucky to have her. As a doula myself, I can say that I'm so honored to have been trained by her and to live in the same area of the country as her, to benefit from her wisdom and experience and to send people to her classes and recommend her as a doula for their births. She's helped to change the face of maternity care, and for that, I'm truly grateful.
