This doctor (Dr. Rockwell) was absolutely hilarious, brilliantly smart, and made me feel extremely comfortable throughout my visit. This Dr. is also old school cool a- rattling witty jokes here and there. My only complaint about this doctor is that there WASN’T a line out the door just to talk to the guy and get laugh in while also learning a thing or two. Sadly, he’s retiring in a few months. If you have any issues that you want or need medical consultation on in the next few months this Doctor is your guy!

Dr. Rockwell's sense of humor put me at ease. He was careful to explain the procedure and made sure I was always comfortable at all times. He took time to explain my current issue clearly. What a joy it is to go to this office where everything is simplified at the reception desk with no lengthy repetitive forms and long waits. The receptionist, Vicky, is efficient and as kind as Dr. Rockwell. How I wish all of my medical appointments were like this!

Attention Patients: We are no longer seeing patients for tonsil removal or nose bleeds.
As a Seattle native and a second-generation physician, I opened my practice 14 years ago. As a child I saw my father, also an otolaryngologist, strive to provide expert and personal medical care to the Seattle area. Impressed by my father’s dedication and commitment to helping people I followed him into the world of medicine determined to provide the best care possible. My philosophy is that listening is the key to good communication. Truly understanding a patient’s needs develops a strong and caring bond between patient and doctor. In my practice you are not just a number and your concerns are treated with the respect they deserve.
