Shania and the whole staff at South Lake Union are absolutely amazing and they are very supportive of me, especially since I have decided to go back to school to get my Associates Degree for R.H.I.T. And always inquire on how I'm doing in school (everyone who knows me), and the receptionist knows me by name and my birthday and I've been going there 2 years since November and I referred my Fiance to South Lake Union and he also is getting amazing care. Shania, is a very throughout about her job and has a very compassionate attitude towards her patients and I haven't gotten such amazing care by a primary care physician since the 80s! My last medical doctor was at Kaiser and as soon as you get comfortable with one doctor you get switched to another one and have to start all over and medication screw ups and confusion. Where Shania is direct and makes it understandable without the terminology (which I know), but we have an amazing doctor/patient relationship.
