This was an appointment to discuss the possibility of a surgery to address my diverticulitis and Dr. Hawkins was very informative and practical about the procedure itself and the possible results.

Swedish Patient
Dr. Hawkins is amazing, kind, caring doctor. She has seen me through a lot of bowel issues. She ALWAYS knows me and what issues I have been struggling with which has led both of us to know that I will be ultimately having a colostomy. I trust Dr. Hawkins with every part of my surgery and recovery!
