UW Medicine’s top doctors in Seattle Met Magazine
In the 2017 Seattle Met Top Doctors survey, over 100 UW Medicine care providers were chosen by their doctor, nurse and physician assistant peers as being the best in their respective medical specialties. It’s no secret that all of our doctors offer exceptional patient care. And we’re especially proud of this select group. It’s not just our opinion; these peer-recognized physicians are among the very best.
