Martin Levine, MD
Family Medicine & Geriatric Medicine

"A physician’s skills as healer include the ability to listen. It’s one of the ways I encourage patients to make decisions that are right for them."

James Parker, MD
Child Psychiatrist

He was a youth when he first experienced Group Health--as a patient. He graduated from public schools, then Harvard, and completed medical school at the University of Washington. James A. Parker, MD, says, "The gift of working with kids is that even small corrections can positively affect their maturation into healthy adults. That's priceless."

Thomas D. Lindquist, MD
Ophthalmology

The Paton Award was presented to ophthalmologist Thomas D. Lindquist, MD, PhD. The distinguished annual prize is bestowed by the Eye Bank Associations of America. "Corneal transplantation and cataract surgery often mean rapid improvement in a patient's quality of life. That's immensely gratifying."

Raymond Hsia, MD
Gastroenterology

"Our gastroenterology department is full-service. We have all of the procedural aspects of GI--and there are many! We also provide endoscopic ultrasound which is one of the newest technologies in our field. We have some of the state's best providers here--if not the nation's. And I'm honored to be working with them."

Cristina Ryser, PA-C

Board member and family medicine physician Barbara Detering, MD, is committed to the sustainability of primary care.

Jane Dimer, MD
OB/Gyn

"Women are the keystone to the family, and to making society work every day. And women need to be well and want to be well to keep their families healthy. The great thing about working here is each day I know I wasn't trying to do too much, or too little. I was trying to do the right things."

Virginia Sybert, MD
Dermatology

Rare is the woman who knows the weight of her words. In the case of Dr. Virginia Sybert, the answer is 4.8 pounds. That's the total heft of her book, "Genetic Skin Disorders," hailed by no less an authority than the New England Journal of Medicine as "magisterial." The dermatologist and frequently-named Top Doc says her first love is caring for patients with Turner's Syndrome.

Kyle Kim, MD
Neurosurgery

"I love it here because we're not paid per widget. Or per craniotomy. We're paid to see patients. At Group Health, our practice is driven by evidence of what works. As a patient you want your doctor absolutely committed to evidence-based medicine; it saves lives as well as dollars."

Priscilla Madsen, MD
Interventional Pulmonology

The comfort of family and routine, the freedom of movement and physical activity: such things are precious to people battling serious disease. Priscilla Madsen, MD, treats patients who may be consigned to home. One was unable to turn in bed, due to shortness of breath. "That was several years ago. She recently learned to skydive."
