Thank you to our UW Medicine employees for all your work to improve the health of the public.
Here’s how we’re making a difference in the community.
Patient relations praise
Gratitude and feedback submitted to patient relations.
Harborview Medical Center
“The whole experience from admitting to discharge was absolutely awesome. All the way from the nurses to Dr. Sekhar’s team to the therapists all of our questions and concerns were answered promptly and in terms we could understand. We don’t have one negative comment on anything. P.S. The food was good also.”
UW Medical Center – Montlake
“Dr. Jerry Iming Huang was my surgeon and he explained things very clearly. His entire staff at UW made me feel cared for. I felt like this group honors teamwork and professionalism. I have so much gratitude for people who care for others in healthcare. UW is an incredibly special place.”
UW Medical Center – Northwest
“The screening nurse and the medical assistant that I first encountered made me feel very well cared for. They listened very carefully and they had professional and pleasant caring attitudes. It greatly help me to relax. Once I was in the actual ER treatment room the doctor and other nurses and staff repeated the same exemplary care. Thank you so much.”
UW Medicine Primary Care
“I am very impressed with Brandon E. Glissmeyer. He spent a lot of time with me and he had the right diagnosis that nobody including my primary care doctor had suggested. He called me after to make sure I was doing okay too so I want to give him recognition for him going above and beyond to help me.”
Valley Medical Center
“Rebecca B, my physical therapist, is excellent. She’s the ONLY one who can provide me with positive relief from my ongoing physical pain on my left side of my neck. She’s an asset to VMC.”
Social media shout-outs
Kudos and heartfelt comments from the community on Instagram, X, LinkedIn and Facebook.
“I said that if I had a “I LOVE DR. WILLIAMS” t-shirt, I would actually wear it. Sure enough, the folks at @uwmedicine sent me one! Dr. Michael Williams and his team at UW Medicine in Seattle helped me get my life back after I was diagnosed with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. He put in a shunt and now I am back to my old self and feeling better than ever. I’m even able to ride my unicycle again. Thanks Dr. Williams!! #hydrocephalusawareness #uwmedicine”
“Dr. Bransford is a brilliantly gifted surgeon with an exemplary bedside manner, he changed my life for the better, his team are also rock ⭐️’s”
