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.

i won't go back to this place. i had an 11:30 apointment for a regular annual check up. they got me into the exam room quick enough, but things went downhill from there. i waited more than an hour and a half for the doctor to see me. the nurse popped in around every 15 or 20 minutes with different reasons why the doctor hadn't been in to see me, including that she had gone into a doctor staff meeting. when the doctor finally saw me, she said she had actually totally forgotten me. lovely. so she was off busily treating other patients while i sat there forgotten during my work day. i arrived at the office at 11, since they asked me to in order to fill in their forms, and i left at 1:45. i'd guess i spent 15 minutes of that time with the doctor. forget it. my time is as important as theirs so this kind of treatment is just wrong. i wouldn't give return business to anyone else after this kind of experience, so why would i for a doctor?"

As an ICU nurse and wife of an MD, I am very selective when choosing physicians to work with. I find Dr Johannsen (and her NP, Shelley) to be very pleasant, very well read in her field, and with excellent bedside manner. I strongly recommend her as a professional and individual. The only problem I have ever had, is receiving timely appointments inn her busy schedule. But as before mentioned, her NP is also wonderful.

All three of our kids were delivered by Tracy and her partners. Connie trained with her at the UW (one of the top three OB/GYN programs in the country, which is amazing given all the high quality programs out there). Tracy is great. She specializes in high risk OB. I'll never forget her look of concern as our first child went through the most incredible late decels (for the novice, this means that after a contraction, if the heart rate slows, the baby is in distress). Nevertheless, Alex pulled through fine (big brained kid!) and our experience with Tracy was terrific. Final aside, is that she's a great person to boot. So, if you are in high risk (in OB, by the way, that means over 35 years old), you might really want to consider Tracy.

After 2 disappointing OB experiences for my first pregnancy, I was anxious to follow a friend's recommendation and visit Dr. Johannsen for my second. I couldn't be more pleased with her and all of the staff at Northwest Women's Healthcare. They are extremely attentive, thorough,warm, friendly, knowledgable, and down-to-earth. You may have to wait for your appointments, but this is only because they do not rush their patients.
