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.

I went to the Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNM group) here at Group Health for both of my sons. The same midwife caught both of my boys. When I got pregnant for the first time, it just so happened that I called the OB clinic to make a standard appointment, and thankfully, their OBs were not available, so they offered midwives (I had no idea!), and I chose them because I just needed an appointment. That one phone call changed my life and my perspective on life forever.
I have to give these midwives top-notch praise. There's a reason why these midwives and clinic are the most highly rated in Seattle, and the most long-standing hospital midwifery service in the state. 45 minute appointments, excellent caring staff, a welcoming attitude to questions (no question is ever bad), and tons of resources. I felt so reassured by these knowledgeable and competent women, even when I got scared.
They actually talk with you to make sure that all of your concerns are addressed, just like midwives are known to do (far and away making them better than most OBs, who clock in at 4 minutes per appointment).
I had two great births there, and if I had to have another hospital birth (my last was a planned, happy homebirth with a Licensed Midwife), I'd choose here. They treat you like a human with feelings and needs, treasuring birth, not a malpractice suit waiting to happen. That's why their hospital-birth stats are the healthiest and best in the state. If you choose a hospital birth, get thee to these midwives.

Dr. Barbier is very competent and professional. She may come off as too clinical or impersonal, but I actually don't mind that. I'm not one to want to "love" my health care practitioner. I'm more concerned with how competent she is and that I feel comfortable with her judgments. She did a surgical procedure on me and I was very satisfied with my experience with her.

OK, so Mao Constance is really in English, Connie Mao. And I admit I've been married to her forever. Still, if you are lucky you can visit with her. She's a great doc although not taking new OB/GYN patients right now.
I can say that it has been great to get to know some other great ones. On Judy's Book alone, I see in related reviews, Lori Marshall, Tracy Johnnsen (why is her name in the right order) and Briget Brock.
Connie trained with all of them and they are great. Reviews to follow

Dr Blackham is the absolute best MD I've ever had. I've known him for 20+ years and I'll never change. When I moved from Seattle to Maple Valley, WA I kept seeing him, despite the long distance. He delivered my two children and is wonderful!!

I was referred to Salish Women's Health by the staff across the hall. I was 7 months pregnant and I'm so happy that I switched to them. The whole staff is friendly! They knew my name by my second visit! Dr Kurachi is the best! She actually takes the time to get to know you and answer any questions you have. We're going to be moving up to Bellingham, but I am still planning to stay with Salish. It's worth the drive :)

I'd highly recommend Dr. Margaret Hutchison of the Seattle ObGyn Group. I find her and her staff really caring and good. The number for their office is (206) 682-5800.
It's hard work to find a health care provider that you like -- one that fits with your needs and life (not to mention insurance and location and hours!).
Good luck!

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.

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%.
