5 months is a very long time to wait for an appointment. Dr. Hawkins was very good at both listening to my questions and concerns and explaining what I need to understand. I am cautiously hopeful that she can be helpful.

It's not a bad experience related to Dr Hawkins. I am a new patient to her and to Swedish medical. For some unforeseeable reasons, I waited almost 80 mins before being admitted to the room. It was a long wait given that I went in for a consultation. Dr Hawkins was kind and helpful for the issues I was keen in discussing with. All was fine. I think in the future, I would not have to wait this long and pay the parking fee as much. All is well. Thank you!
