Jennifer U. Mercado, ARNP

I had a truly positive experience with Nurse Practitioner Jenifer Mercado. I came in feeling worried due to a range of symptoms, including significant weight gain over a short period and concerns about a possible pituitary gland tumor. From the very beginning, she made me feel heard, respected, and taken seriously.Jenifer was thorough and attentive, carefully listening to all of my symptoms and asking thoughtful questions to better understand my situation. I really appreciated how she explained things clearly and didn't rush through the appointment. Instead, she took the time to ensure I felt comfortable and informed.She promptly ordered the appropriate blood tests and created a clear plan to move forward based on the results. That level of organization and follow-through gave me confidence that I am in good hands and that my health is being managed with care and precision.Overall, I felt supported, reassured, and optimistic after my visit. I'm grateful to have a provider like ms. Mercado who is both compassionate and proactive in addressing my health concerns.

My provider care team is amazing

Very good

She was very kind, easy to speak with, and detailed.

Jennifer M. Is most accommodating to my questions and seems to have a global grasp of me, my numerous issues and the medicines prescribed. Hi praise.

Jennifer Mercado is extremely thorough, always professional and caring.

Jennifer Mercado was very special in the way she communicated with me.

I value Jennifer more than I can say. She has really helped me through a complicated journey and never gives up on me.

Excellent provider. Thorough.

Jennifer is fantastic. When I have technical questions she gives me technical answers and always includes "based on clinical evidence" meaning she is well read and up to date on current practices and guidelines

Jennifer Mercado is one of the finest endocrinology providers that I have worked with. I think she is empathic, caring, and informed. She remembers me and my history, and she is an excellent listener.

My provider is the most caring, most knowledgeable, highly committed provider I have.

Nurse Mercado is my favorite healthcare practitioner of everyone I have seen at Swedish. She is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely curious. My experience at Swedish is usually that there are many brilliant minds working in silos. Nurse Mercado brings it all together and connects the dots.

She always shows great empathy and a desire to find solutions for me. She's always respectful and open to hear feedback.

Jennifer, is such an amazing person and such a good listener. I have been seeing her over a decade and she delivers every time.

Jennifer Mercado did a good job going through what we talked about at our last visit, checking in to see if anything had changed, before moving forward, addressing the current situation. I liked that she reviewed my lab result history and asked me questions before determining the next steps. I liked that Jennifer remembered points that were important to my health and considered it in thinking about next steps. It was a good visit.

AttentiveFriendlyKnowledgeableCaring Easy to understandWillingness to listen

I have really valued and enjoyed my nearly decades long provider patient relationship with Jennifer Mercado. I think she's very knowledgable, thorough and meticulous as well as warm and easy to talk to.

Jennifer was exceptional during my first and only visit with her. She had obviously studied my medical history. For over an hour we duscussed all aspects of my condition. She answered all my questions. She was respectful and compassionate. It was one of the best medical appointments I have ever had.

Was a thorough visit, covered a lot of of topics options, medicine, etc.

Jennifer Mercado spent a great deal of time reviewing my medical records, history and developed a holistic view of the care I was there to receive along with concurring with my primary care doctor. She reviewed my adenoma history in a much more detailed manner with me than others on my provider care team. I am extremely confident in the care she provided me and have no hesitation in recommending her to other patients.

Good

I love Jennifer Mercado. She is thoughtful, listens to how I'm doing and has really helped me manage my condition to live my best life. I know she is looking out for me. I appreciate her so much!

I have had appointments with many different endocrinologists and Jennifer Mercado is by far the best provider I have had an appointment with. She gathered pertinent data in an efficient way and was able to clearly explain and contextualize my symptoms to help me have a better understanding of my overall health. She has a warm and friendly manner and is clearly very competent. I would recommend her highly.

She is an outstanding provider.

I always feel listened to and that Dr Mercado is very thorough. I never feel rushed, and I am happy with my care.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my endocrinologist Jennifer Mercado . From the very beginning, she has treated me with a level of care, compassion, and attentiveness that has brought me so much peace during an incredibly challenging time in my health journey.She takes the time to truly listen and makes me feel seen and heard-not rushed or dismissed. She explains complex medical information in a way that is clear, gentle, and comforting, which has helped ease so much of my fear and uncertainty. Her ability to balance clinical expertise with genuine empathy is rare and deeply appreciated.What stands out most is how thoughtfully she manages my care. I feel supported every step of the way, and I trust her completely. Knowing that she is in my corner has made an enormous difference in my emotional and physical well-being.Her support is something I sincerely wish every patient could experience. She sets the gold standard for what compassionate, patient-centered care should look like. I am incredibly grateful to have her as my provider and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Miss Mercado - I have such confidence on her knowledge about my illness. I can feel her sincerity in trying to make me well. She's professional, patient, courteous & warm. I strongly feel that I'm in her good hands.

I always saying it's good

Jen Mercado is thorough, caring, and knowledgeable. I can't recommend her highly enough.

This is the best provider I have ever had! I have very complex medical issues and Jen had always done everything she could to help me and to take care of me. I've been with her 8 years and really hope to be with her many more. I tell everyone in the rare disease community how informed she is and how rare she is because she actually cares about the patient. You just don't find that in the medical world anymore unfortunately. I will refer her to anyone I know she can help. I can't say enough good things and her! I hope Swedish treats her well so she'll stay here!

The entire process and team are amazing! PA Mercado is truly the best provider I have seen throughout my life!

Jennifer is an excellent provider! We have worked with her for many years and will continue to recommend her!

Provider was excellent. My complaint is that it took several months to be seen due to shortage of providers.

Jennifer and the nurse were very nice. Would certainly recommend them.

Jennifer always spends a lot of time with me and really wants to understand all the issues and explore options and other ideas to endure I get the best care. I feel very taken care of and appreciate her very much.

Very helpful. Looked over all previous notes and labs to come up with a plan of care

Jennifer Mercado is exceptional. Very knowledgeable, excellent communicator and well prepared.

Jennifer Mercado is among the very best care givers I have seen! I cannot speak highly enough about her skills, professionalism, and genuine caring concern for my medical health. Swedish Hospital CANNOT lose her!

Jen Mercado is the best provider I have seen for any health condition. She listens and shows empathy, and she is knowledgeable and explains complex issues in a very understandable way.

There's nothing wrong with Swedish, it's all about the testing results for my particular health issue and happiness that has slowed the results to getting better both emotionally and physically.

Jennifer is awesome, very thorough, understanding and compassionate.

Ms Mercado has saved my life a few times. She is fantastic as a person as well as a medical professional.

Ms. Mercado is a very thorough and thoughtful provider. I appreciate the care she has provided as she is mitigated a number of my problems. However my current level of care is going to be met by my PCP due to the difficulties of traveling to Seattle for appointments. I hope to be able to return to swedish endocrinology should I ever become insulin dependent because I'm going to want more advice than I believe my PCP can give on the insulin dosing times and insulin types.

Always good

Jennifer Mercado is wonderful!! She's very knowledgeable about my rare Pituitary issue and is a very competent provider.

Always have great experience.

Jennifer Mercado is the best provider I have ever had. She is extremely thorough and knowledgeable. Not to mention kind and compassionate.
