While the dr gives ample time for questions, she does not do much asking herself - about what you and what you want. She consistently presented her plan for how my labor and delivery would be as though it were THE only plan, without asking what I wanted or discussing more than one option. She also focused almost entirely on physical health. Although her staff focused more on mental health, it made me uncomfortable that my primary OB devoted so little time to mental health, given how much it can affect pregnant and postpartum women. She also didn't seem to know more than I did about the effects of various antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds for pregnant women.

If you're trying to get an appointment be prepared to wait. Calling the office feels like trying to get into a country club where you're not on the list, and they definitely want you to know it. Every interaction is coated in entitlement and condescension, like they're doing you a favor by letting you seek medical care. Case in point: I was 16 minutes late due to a car accident that was right in front of me and called ahead to let them know. Their grace period is 15 minutes and I was met with cold stares and a turned-away appointment. I can't speak to the care because I can't get past the velvet rope. If you value compassion, empathy, or even just basic decency at the front desk, maybe look elsewhere. Or at least mentally prepare for a Hunger Games-style battle just to get in the door.

She was referred to me by a coworker, who loved her laid back, yet ultra professional and knowledgeable style. She was exactly the doctor I wanted to deliver my baby. Dr. Daniel helped my boyfriend and I get through the hardest experience of my life, when we lost our first baby to a chromosomal disorder at 5 months. (I was 39 and considered at risk because of my age.) We found out about all the "genetic markers" while at the routine ultrasound at 4.5 months. The lab technician and ultrasound doctor were both cold and clinical when telling us that our baby was not alright.It was so tragic and painful, but she was our angel to help us make it through and try again. Dr. Daniel was so compassionate, patient and loving. We then got pregnant again a few months later with a healthy baby boy, Jack who was an breeze to deliver and is still such a joy in our lives at 1.5 years old. It was a very nerve wracking pregnancy though after our sad experience, but Dr. Daniel and the other doctors and nurses at Seattle OBGYN really helped us feel at ease and confident. I give her the max of 5 stars here, but would give her 10 if I could. She is a lovely and talented person and responsible for so helping us create such a wonderful family. Lori

Almost every…read moreappointment we have had included a medical student coming in which is fine 1 or 2 times, but gets old and slows down the appointment. As for the front desk and being a few minutes late allows them to turn away patients. Considering they have been late to see us for nearly every appointment and also change appointments last minute which causes total mayhem I find this very unprofessional and annoying. They really need to get this in order - it just shows they are terrible with time management and scheduling. Overall an OK practice, but worth doing research if you have a tight schedule and need more flexibility than the rigidity of this one that has basically little to no flexibility and the patients always get screwed on this problem.

I accidentally went to two wrong buildings all on the same block because the others were labeled Swedish. I was 8 minutes late since I got lost and Dr. Dina Gordon refused to see me after I waited on her list for an entire YEAR!!!!!! I also called to get help for directions while lost but was on hold and found the correct building before my call was answered. As a neurodivergent person navigating to new places is a challenge and creates intense anxiety so I try to be early (which I was had I not got lost inside the other two Swedish buildings). Also, the supervisor scolded me for being late, saying "how would you feel if you were another patient and had to wait a few extra minutes?" I would have felt totally fine waiting because I understand that sometimes things don't go as planned and life is hard enough already without emotionally gaslighting people for neurodivergent challenges. Dr. Gordon and the office Supervisor (Kristina Bainter) were not kind nor did they demonstrate patient-forward care/compassion. I tried to find where I was told about this "7 minute late" automatic cancellation policy in my patient information and I couldn't find anything informing me of this policy. For a first time visitor, there should be more understanding.

I really had no idea who she was and was just sort of driving blind. I ended up being really lucky in finding her. If you ever do a little research on her, you will find she's one of the best in the region, dedicated to her work, and surrounded by just as talented colleagues. From the beginning, she was kind and upfront. She remained honest and to the point. But still was able to act like a human being, something I see so little of in the medical world. Especially people as talented and sought after as Kelley. She really helped us through the difficult patches and ultimately at the delivery, knowing she was there and in charge helped put me at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful OB and a great experience in childbirth.

I really hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I have to finally write a review about my…read moreexperience with Dr. Hanrahan. When I still lived in Seattle, I had amazing insurance through Blue Cross. I found Dr. Hanrahan through here, of all places, read the reviews and watched her personal video on the Minor and James site. I had a good initial feeling and went ahead and made the appt. for my annual and Pap, etc. What was interesting during my first appt. with her was the way she reacted to my age (I was 35 at the time) and that I'd had one abnormal Pap in the recent past. I appreciated the concern at the time. Warning, the following might be TMI for some, but I think that it's important to understand all of the specifics of my visit(s) so that you can be as informed as possible if you're in a similar situation. My next test with her came out abnormal and she and Nurse Alicia informed me that I had moderate to severe dysplasia. This hadn't come up in the abnormal Pap from less than a year before and my previous doctor had only said to do a follow-up within the year. Ok, not panicking yet, but then Dr. Hanrahan immediately scheduled me for a biopsy asap. Biopsy is scheduled and I'm leaning toward the freakout end. I feel that she didn't do her best to answer my questions and that I had to Google a bunch of different topics related to the biopsy, etc., especially possible complications and recovery, et al. The biopsy that I had with Dr. Hanrahan was one of the worst experiences of my life. It was painful and I felt extremely uncomfortable. But wait, there's more....unfortunately. Biopsy definitely confirms the "moderate to severe dysplasia" and she schedules me for a LEEP procedure to remove the abnormal tissue. At this point, I'm envisioning dying of cervical cancer and I didn't care for her growingly blase attitude throughout the whole thing. The other thing was that she made an odd comment about a condition that I have and said "well, you're an odd case of PCOS, as you're one of the lucky ones that aren't overweight. Wow, just wow." Quote, unquote. I'm reminded of the timing and the tone of the comment being incredibly out of place. The LEEP procedure was quick and relatively painless, so at least that went well. However, the final straws are these. I went back for a follow-up Pap and exam. The follow-up pelvic exam was the most brutal that I've ever experienced in my entire life, no joke. She also said that she couldn't "find my cervix" and fumbled around for like 5 minutes. WTF? Really? She calls me within 2 weeks, says that the cells are back and she wants another biopsy, etc. The red flags completely went up for me as I had mentioned to Nurse Alicia during my last visit that my insurance would be running out (due to job change). I didn't call her back immediately and the next message she left tried to be ominous, basically chastising me about not acknowledging the severity of the situation with needing to get in asap, etc. Hmmm. My Spidey sense was tingling. I called her back shortly thereafter and left a message explaining that my insurance would run out by such and such time and that I was very concerned about the future and I'd appreciate her guidance and advice. Guess what? NO CALL BACK. I left a similar message a few weeks later, knowing that she's very busy and hard to see and all of that and guess what? Yup. She didn't bother calling me back at all. Ever. :( I moved out of town to Portland, OR and signed off to get my records from her for my new doctor last year. She only sent PARTIAL records, nothing after the biopsy, even after repeated attempts to get the complete records. Bizarre and incomprehensible, truly. I've since switched doctors (gotta love the insurance rigamarole) and I'm concerned that she'll do a repeat performance and not send everything. Not sure what to do if that happens, just short of marching back to Seattle and demanding my records in person so they can't keep ignoring me. Yes, this is a book and TMI, but if it can help anyone out there avoid something like this happening to them, so be it. Good luck with your future care.
