Dr. Warren was really great. He took the time to listen to all of my concerns and explain everything to me on a basic level so that it was easy to understand. He was not rushed and seemed to really careabout his patients. He went over different options with me and made sure that I was getting the best treatment for me, not just prescribing something right away.

I'm not one to usually leave reviews, but I just had my 3rd appointment with Dr. Warren and felt the need to. He and his staff are just awesome, plain and simple. Dr. Warren is knowledgable, thorough, personable, and every othergreat quality you'd want in a doctor. I feel comfortable telling him anything that is going on, and am confident he is going to choose the right course of action in terms of treatment. Stop looking around for primary care docs in Seattle, choose Dr. Warren if you can. You won't regret it.

Dr. Warren is exceptional! His patient care is fantastic and the office is very efficient and well-organized. Everyday they have a staff meeting where they go over each patient for the day so that whoever sees you is knowledgeable and prepared.He asks great questions, has great explanations, takes notes the whole time, and then goes over, in great detail all of his thoughts with you and takes time to answer any and all of your questions. It's hard to really put into words the relief I feel about having a primary care doctor I trust and respect. I'm so glad I found Dr. Warren!

Getting there was a challenge and the address was not clearly marked, so I am glad allowed enough time to get there. I was impressed with Dr Warren. He spent a lot of time with me and addressed my concerns. Hisassistant took full notes and condensed it into a note card for me to take with me, plus I will be able to access everything on line. His assistant was awesome.

Dr. Warren and his nurse were very thorough. Dr. Warren wrote down his thoughts on a white board as he examined and questioned me and then we went through the game plan. I'm happy with the game plan and am evenmore happy that I've found a doctor who is willing to spend the necessary time with me to fully understand my issues and then work with me toward a solution.

I am in a very tight financial situation at the moment, and Dr. Warren completely ignored my statements to this effect. I'm not talking about actual pricing of services offered — just his overall dismissive attitude toward the idea that Imight try to save a few bucks wherever possible. A couple of examples: • during a follow-up appointment to discuss some test results, I asked for some simple, direct answers to a few important questions. Rather than give me these answers, I was instructed to purchase a book. • at no time during this discussion of my test results (which showed that I am diabetic) was I informed that my insurance might pick up some of the costs related to a blood tester. I told him directly that I purchased one and only found out later, from other diabetics, that doctors can write prescriptions for the extremely costly test strips. He knew that finances were a concern for me. He knew that I had a tester. But he never offered the option. Obviously I want to take care of myself and treat my condition. But I'd rather do it with a physician who understands and might be able to help accommodate my financial situation. The attitude of both Dr. Warren and his staff was essentially to ignore my requests for alternatives and just keep pressing on with these costly options.

Dr. Warren and the nurses in the office are efficient, personable, and patient. We were establishing a medical history for me and discussing the possibility of prescribing new medication. Dr. Warren took time to answer all my questions andlook up any questions he didn't know the answer to off the top of his head (I was asking about drug study specifics, etc.). Our visit was probably 20-30 minutes. Before this visit, I couldn't remember the last time I hadn't felt rushed at the doctor.

He took the time to discuss contexts of my life that are contributing to my symptoms, and in very short time gave me an honest assessment of what he thinks is going on. He did so with complete respect and care,and in collaboration with a terrific medical assistant, provided the best doctor visit I have had in memory. This place is a gem.

My experience with Doctor Warren was excellent. I was seen right away and everyone there was very friendly. He seemed genuinely concerned about my condition and asked a lot of questions to determine why I might be feeling bad. I willdefinitely be returning. Oh... and it's a nice part of Capitol Hill with lots of street parking :)

It's always a pleasure visiting Dr. Warren. The Wise Patient office is always clean and I feel like I am always receiving extra special attention (though I'm sure he sees many patients a day). All support staff is incredibly friendly andseem to enjoy and take pride in their careers. Most importantly, Dr. Warren shows a genuine concern in your wellbeing - beyond a simple 'diagnosis' - and possesses a strong medical knowledge. I'd also like to mention that Wise Patient is "with the times" and offers many paperless and digital resources - an office fit for 2015!
