Dr. Patrizia A Showell - Seattle (WA)

5 /5 Michelle Dellino: The reviews I see here shock me. I truly appreciate Dr. Showell. I have been to a lot of doctors over the years and Im happy to have found her. I have seen her a pretty considerable number of times over the past 4 years. She isnt warm and fuzzy (neither and I)( but she is friendly and cares. I am a professional woman who appreciates straight talk. She gives me that. She is also willing to dig into my issues and work with me on medications, problem solving, and making referrals when needed. She is also very quick to answer any messages, has encouraged me to contact her if needed, and has even responded to my inquiries in the evening in the past. I have also referred a close friend to her. I was really surprised to see so many negative reviews here and on Yelp. People are remarking on her demeanor a lot. I get that a lot in my job as well. I dont know, maybe people think that women who tell it like it is, do a good job, do not waste time, and dont want to hug you all the time are cold and uncaring -- if thats the case, it is their loss. I am 100% happy with Dr. Showell.

5 /5 Kathleen Duke: I honestly cant fathom these reviews. Ive been seeing Dr. Showell as my PCP for at least 8 years. She has always listened carefully, provided excellent, coordinated care (*and* is thoughtful about prescription costs). She has a very professional manner - you wont confuse her with your therapist or best friend. And thats OK, folks, because your therapist and best friends can fill those roles. Dr. Showell is a highly competent and responsive internist, which is *exactly* what you want in an internist.

5 /5 Yvette Watkins: I am shocked by the reviews that are so negative. I have been Dr. Showells patient for over 10 years. She has been there for me through ups and downs with my health and weight. She doesnt sugarcoat things but she is not cruel. She has been beyond helpful to me and I cant imagine seeing anyone else for my care.
