UWMC OB/GYN Roosevelt- Dr. Aparna Ramanathan that I feel to share as a warning to other woman. Proceed with extreme caution if considering any gynecological procedures here, especially partial hysterectomies. She skipped basic standard-of-care steps, like performing necessary imaging beforehand, which could have caught issues or confirmed the need for surgery. Instead, I felt medically gaslighted--my concerns were dismissed, and the full scope of the procedure wasn't transparently explained. Despite final pathology reports showing no cancer, tumors, disease, or any medical justification, (only clinical guesses) they removed my uterus and cervix without properly informing me in advance. This wasn't just an oversight; it feels like a loophole they've exploited, leading to irreversible damage including incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction that have drastically impacted my quality of life. The informed consent process was inadequate--doctors didn't clearly disclose that the cervix would be removed as part of a "total" hysterectomy, even when it wasn't warranted. Always, always get a second opinion from an independent provider before agreeing to anything. Request a witness or have someone present at all appointments and during consent discussions to ensure everything is documented accurately. Be sure to read your own records thoroughly--progress notes, informed consent forms, and any imaging reports (if they even bother to do them). Don't let them rush you; demand transparency and hold them accountable. I wish I'd known this sooner to avoid the lifelong consequences. avoid if possible!!!

5 reasons I cannot trust that the UW Medicine Roosevelt Clinic doctors are knowledgeable: Below…read more1)-4) are experiences from two recent, separate annual preventative exams: 1) I told both Dr. Rachel Sorenson and Dr. Laura Liao that I got my period every 2-3 months. They both told me, "Since you are almost 50 (or are 50), you should stop taking birth control pills." Later, when I sent a MyChart request for birth control pills, Dr. Liao reminded me that I should stop taking birth control pills. (I later learned that perimenopausal women can still get pregnant and if they stop their birth control pills, they need alternative contraceptives. Neither doctors told me about this risk.) 2) I asked both Dr. Sorenson and Dr. Liao if I should taper off birth control pills or stop cold turkey. They said I can just stop. I asked if there were any symptoms if I just stopped. They said there were no symptoms. They did not tell me anything about hormone therapy. (I later learned that when three older friends stopped their birth control pills cold turkey, they experienced terrible symptoms like dramatic hair loss that caused balding or severe health complications. When they visited new doctors, they received hormone therapy and their health returned to normal.) 3) For my annual exam, Dr. Sorenson did not touch me at all. She did not put her stethoscope on me or touch my neck or ask me to open my mouth wide. (One friend went to a new doctor and when the doctor felt around my friend's throat, she noticed something odd. The doctor requested tests and learned that her hunch was right: my friend had thyroid cancer.) If you only go to the doctor once a year, a doctor cannot assess your health just by talking to you. 4) Dr. Liao's pap smear took five times longer than a normal one. Imagine how you'd feel if you are lying on the table with your legs spread wide and metal items in your vaginal and three women are staring at your private parts and the doctor can't get the sample she needs and the veteran doctor only says things like, "Take your time" to the attending doctor and says nothing to you. It was a traumatic experience. I completed the UW Medicine survey and heard nothing back to acknowledge my experience. 5) I get a valacyclovir prescription for occasionally cold sore outbreaks. I only recently learned that for each outbreak, I should only take one course of pills which is a total of 4 pills, 2 in the morning and 2 twelve hours later. For years while my primary care physician was at UW Medicine Roosevelt, when I got outbreaks, I would take multiple courses of pills because I would call for refills within that one outbreak. Dr. Sorenson and Dr. Liao and my previous UW Medicine Roosevelt doctors never told me that I should only take one course of pills. Also, whenever I called for multiple refills within one outbreak, none of the UW Medicine Roosevelt doctors told me that I only need one course of pills; they just refilled my prescriptions during those outbreaks so I could take multiple courses of pills within the outbreaks. As a result, for two cold sore outbreaks in 2025, I took 16 pills for one outbreak and 20 pills for the other outbreak (instead of only 4 pills per outbreak!) Regarding above 1) and 2) and 5), Dr. Sorenson and Dr. Liao are newer doctors. But they consulted with a more experienced doctor and apparently that veteran doctor is also uneducated about those matters. I'm taking a risk by writing this review because I work at UW and if this review dissuades people from going to UW Medicine Roosevelt, that financially hurts UW Medicine which is part of UW. And my job at UW depends on UW being financially secure.

I'm adding this review for another experience. My two kids have been coming here since birth on the recommendation of a friend. At this point, I think we've seen all of the doctors and had excellent medical care. My concerns are listened to with kindness, empathy, and understanding. Everything is explained in a respectful way. We've been there for colds, viruses, alllllll the Covid tests during the pandemic, broken bones, pneumonia, mental health concerns, and more complicated problems. There is an in-house xray machine, radiologist, bloodwood, vaccine clinic, and probably more. The front desk staff have been friendly. The lobby and medical rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is easy access and we love grabbing lunch or coffee after a doctor's appointment.

I'm probably just being a wimpy jerk, but I feel like they could be a bit kinder and gentler with children's immunizations. My flu shot was very quick and painless, while I found my small child's to be a violent stab. He was wiggling and such, but holy hell, he already has a huge fear of needles. Keep in mind his last two visits he had shots both times. Their bedside manner with children aside from 12" away jam-it-in of needles is actually very good.
