Since
the early '70's we've provided
healthcare to the women of South King
County. Today, we have two clinic locations,
four OB-GYN physicians and two nurse
practitioners.
Our providers may have changed, but we
have not changed our philosophy. Our
goal is to provide quality, cost
effective healthcare in a supportive and
comfortable environment. Our staff and
providers work together toward this same
goal. We are here for each other, to
provide care for you.
If you have concerns or comments
regarding your experience in our office,
we want to hear from you.

PHOTO ID NOW REQUIRED
We are now asking patients to bring a
photo ID with them for every visit.
We will keep a copy of your photo ID in
your medical chart and it will be used
to validate your identity when using
insurance or medical coupons.
This is not a HIPAA requirement.
This is for your own protection.
Identity theft, for the purpose of
medical care can affect you financially,
as well as your future ability to obtain
medical insurance.
In addition, for the majority of the
insurance companies we contract with,
this is a requirement. Thank you
for your cooperation!
REMINDER FOR OUR PREGNANT PATIENTS
If you are 20 weeks or more in your
pregnancy and have a question when our
office is closed, you can always call
the Birth Center at Valley Medical
Center. Their number is
