if you aren't already a patient here, don't bother to call. I have a referral from a specialist doctor, just not a UW doctor.

My experience with this facility has not been positive unlike other UW Medical facilities. The receptionist I encountered at my visit and particularly the one I just spoke with when I called was unpleasant and seemed irritated to provide basic assistance.

She is the reason I gave any stars.
