When I came down with something that a urologist would treat and have a chronic other thing that urologist can treat, I bit the bullet and went looking for a urologist. I had seen a urologist many years ago for a vasectomy. That was a horrid experience and left me with a kind of post-traumatic stress. Imagine my anxiety when I realized I needed to see a urologist again. Boy was I nervous and a little frightened when I sat in the exam room waiting to meet Dr. Nazemi the first time! Her nurse was very kind and gentle... she must have seen my state. Then Dr. Nazemi came in to see me. Right from the start, she brought my anxiety down. It must have been her Jedi mind tricks again :-) I thought she was going to do an exam, which would only have heightened my anxiety. Nope, she got what she needed by talking to me... although she did need to examine the prostate. Dr. Nazemi said I should be glad she has small fingers. Ah, a doctor with a sense of humor! Anyway, I've seen her for almost a year for one thing or another. I won't ever use another urologist. She's the best. Dr. Nazemi maintains a wonderful therapeutic relationship with me but is very careful to draw a bright line between therapy and friendship. I so very much appreciate that! Considering the fact that the nature of her medicine requires her to know pretty much everything about my... equipment and how it is used. I could never share with a friend or even a loved one at that level. I TRUST Dr. Nazemi, which is how I can share with her what she needs to know. Ok folks, it's been about 6 months since I wrote this review. I've seen Dr. Nazemi a few more times - recently for a surgical procedure. Recovery has been rocky, mostly because I am stubborn and won't rest as much as Dr. Nazemi needs me to. Still... All the good things I've said about her are more true than ever. My gosh! Never have I had such a caring, empathetic, and compassionate doctor. I am so very blessed. One of the surgical complications involves the temporary lack of functionality of my wedding tackle. Needless to say, I was distraught when I discovered the issue. In my appointment with Dr. Nazemi a couple of days later, I was almost tearful when I described the issue to her. And because she's a urologist who has seen and heard most everything, I wasn't shy about giving her clear and accurate details. She clearly listened carefully, heard my anguish and fully understood the problem. What's more, she gave me a great explanation it which put my mind at ease. The problem is temporary! Dr. Nazemi prescribed a couple of things to ease the symptoms and they're working. She cares enough about the issue to follow up with me on the phone. I am absolutely certain that she takes a very personal interest in her patients and it shows in her care. Oh yeah guys, she doesn't make house calls. That's a thing of the past, I'm afraid. No matter. You can make an appointment with her with very little lead time if it's urgent.

Another surgeon had counseled against attempting the operation, citing low chances of success. Dr. White, after careful assessment, was confident that she could do the repair, which amounted to a significant rebuild of my abdominal wall, so complicated that it could not be done laporoscoptically. From the first interview to the post-operative visits, she was caring, knowledgeable, upbeat, professional and extremely expert in her craft. The operation was difficult enough that I spent three days in the hospital and then carefully recovered at home. The operation was a complete success and I am now jogging and back in the gym. I can't recommend Dr. White highly enough.

Luckily, Dr. Newell took on my case for me and he and his staff couldn't have made me feel more at ease. Dr. Newell has a very calm, confident and warm personality that allows you to relax and know that you are in good hands (and I am a professional worrier). The procedure went super smoothly and I felt like I got white glove service the whole time; it was the best experience I have had getting a procedure done. Sarah, his super funny PA, followed up with me multiple times to make sure my sutures were healing well and his staff was super flexible with my busy schedule. Thankfully, my procedure was very simple but I can given the professionalism of him and his staff, I can see why Dr. Newell is one of the best neurosurgeons in Seattle.

I thought since he would barely speak to me after surgery and nearly a month inpatient that perhaps he would at my post-op appointment. I waited 1.5 hours after my scheduled appointment in the room for him. Actually called the front desk from my cell without a answer and then from the phone in the patient room THREE times, also without an answer. I finally went out and had to ask if anyone knew whether I was in there and if I was going to see him. It was much like the night I was brought in for surgery. I was transferred from Swedish Ballard to the wrong hospital via ambulance and had to be transferred again. Was told by his PA I may not get to meet him prior to surgery in the morning because he was "too busy." WTF I was given a blank consent form to sign. At this point I lost my cool as I did when they told me I would be having neurosurgery and wouldn't be meeting my surgeon. They failed to tell me they would be taking a rib, collapsing my lung and I'd be waking up in the ICU for my second surgery. I also woke up unable to move or feel my right leg from the hip down. Weird because I didn't have any issues with my legs and was walking fine prior to both surgeries. Not only that, they went In ANTERIORLY from the LEFT side and my RIGHT leg was affected. "You should be fine in a week, then it went to a "year." I was in a wheelchair for over a year. I'm still in PT and it's been two years. I've only been walking independently for five months. This A-hole couldn't give me the courtesy to tell me what could have possibly happened because there are only "24 hours in a day." I had to resign from my job, my life was turned upside down, I lost my independence and you were stacking surgeries. I was essentially stuck in my house for months as I was fighting for my apartment complex to get an ADA ramp as I couldn't get up my ramp if I went down it. I would have to ask people passing by to help. My w/c nor walked would fit through the doorways to my apartment as my building was old. They had to remove my doors so my walker would fit through them. Disability didn't come close to covering my rent and having just started a new job I didn't have insurance safety nets. Now I take medicine for PTSD for horrible reoccurring nightmares about you and you're rewarded $1.5 million for "emotional trauma." You've never suffered in the shoes I have, not even close. Funny that I wrote a short review on Healthgrades, it was posted, you responded and two days later it was deleted. I went to post it again as there was nothing against their rules for content yet they said it didn't follow their rules. I'm still in rehab. Two years later. I have worked very hard. I have lost a lot of time out of life and it's exhausting. It's exhausting limping around everywhere despite being able to limp. It's annoying being asked continually what's wrong with me and what happened. It's awful having dreams that bring it all back as my experience at Swedish was horrific and your dismissiveness was even worse. Your life went on and mine changed for life. You didn't have ten minutes to pull up a chair to explain what could have happened. I still don't know and my trust in the medical system is now broken.

Patti Kwok is one AMAZING human being!…read more When I finished cancer treatment in 2017, I had several side-effects from surgery, oralchemoradiation, chemo IV treatment, etc. No one talks about the side-effects of treatment BEFORE embarking on that journey that keeps us alive. From my perspective, it was the most difficult part of the process. Fortunately, Patti was part of the process! She gave me several resources and support to assist me in playing detective to deal with neuropathy, chemo brain, osteoporosis (I didn't know I had it until she prescribed a bone density test), and a myriad of debilitating side-effects of the treatment that bought me more time on this earth. Qualify of life after cancer treatment is important for your mind/body connection. Patti is a WONDERFUL gift to cancer patients in all walks of life.

After almost 30 years, I had a persistent cough which turned out to be metastatic breast cancer in my left lung....and that is when Dr. Kwok came into my life. I was in a state of terror and disbelief. What I needed was a guide to help me through this most difficult time in my life. Dr. Kwok was that guide. For that past few years she had held my hand through the further tests I needed, through the further treatments I required and most of all she learned about my innermost feelings about living and also about dying. I have been to the bottom of the Grand Canyon several times, almost made it to the top of Mr. Rainer (I flunked out the mountain climbing course) and have been unafraid of doing many things others did not dare to do. Now I am once again on a path requiring courage and the need to make thoughtful intelligent decisions not only about how I wish to live my life but how I would prefer to end it. Dr. Kwok is still guiding me with her wisdom, compassion...but most of all the depth of her knowledge about my very inner self. Tranquility has something that I have always striven for...both in life and in death. I do not agree with,"Do not go gently into that good night." I DO want everything about my death to be gentle. I want to die guided into my final voyage by Dr. Kwok and I know she will not fail me in this last endeavor as she has never failed to give me the support I needed and continue to need..in my life. Right at this moment, I am enjoying my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I intend to keep enjoying every moment of my life knowing I have Dr. Kwok at my side.
