About Janna L. B. Chao
Excellent health is something we all want to achieve and the way to reach this goal is to use teamwork between patients, families, doctors, staff, Swedish, and the community at large. Doctors need to be respectful, listen carefully, and be compassionate. Patients also need us to make safety our first priority and to make treatment recommendations based on scientific evidence to be sure we give the best care possible. If we follow these ideals, our patients can fully trust us. I enjoy traveling with my family, walking my dog Charlie, reading mystery novels, and just getting outside in the Pacific Northwest.

I just joined Swedish. It took 5 months to get in with Dr Chao. She's great and wait times should be easier going forward.

Swedish Patient
Dr. Chao is the best doctor I've had my entire adult life. I feel like she truly listens, does not rush me, and really goes out of her way to make sure that we address any and all concerns that I have or that she has. I truly respect her.
Swedish Patient
This was my first visit to this office. The receptionist was friendly and check in was easy. I was looking for a doctor that understands older woman's health. My experience with Dr Chao (and her assistants) was excellent. Dr Chao was kind and listened to my concerns. She was quite pro-active, asking pertinent questions, expressing her concerns and overall made this visit feel very complete for my needs. Highly appreciated this visit and feel my needs and health will be cared for by Dr Chao.
Swedish Patient
I'm always thankful that I have a physician and care team that answers my health care questions and refills my prescriptions whenever I needed it.

Pretty good provider that they care and always ask questions.

Swedish Patient
All good
Swedish Patient
The best
Swedish Patient
Dr. Janna Chau understands a patient and knows what to do next. We were able to discuss on a broad scope of health matters depending on my age and the phase of life young or old. She makes you feel that you are cared for and your visit covers all the required aspects necessary to keep well and functioning. I am thankful and appreciate having her as my doctor. Thank you.
Swedish Patient
Dr. Janna was very thorough. Took her time going through everything. After blood test showed high cholesterol she immediately scheduled another appointment. I appreciate her being so diligent.

Swedish Patient
It all went very well.
Swedish Patient
Being a new patient to this provider since transferring here from my out-of-state plan, I was able to see her immediately. I needed a refill on one of my medications. I was pleasantly surprised she knew some of my medical history. Thus, able to ask me questions and make decisions on further meds. She was professional, kind, attentive and concerned about my health asking questions for clarity in understanding. She made sure I understood what she was communicating to me. Loved that I was able to get an appointment the next day. Appreciated how she and her staff interacted with me. Happy that I chose Dr. Chao as my PCP.

Very good care.
Swedish Patient
Care team very informative and attentive
Swedish Patient
This was my first visit with Dr. Chao as I wanted to establish care with a family doctor within the Swedish system. It was difficult to find a GP who was taking new patients and I had to wait a few months to get my first appointment with her. But the doctor was great and I'm happy to continue my care with her.The front desk receptionist was polite but they talk to you like they've done this a thousand times (which I know is true). Also, I had filled out all of my paperwork online before the appointment via MyChart but they still gave me paperwork with all of the same info. When I asked them about this they said, it's in a different system but they can probably pull it up.' Weird.
Swedish Patient
The entire team has been an outstanding experience
Swedish Patient
First visit and it was a good impression. Knowledgeable and took the time to follow through whatever was discussed including labs and tests. It was only the first visit and got a lot of things done. So that is awesome.
Swedish Patient
Excellent
Swedish Patient

Swedish Patient
Dr. Chao is an exceptionally attentive and compassionate provider. Every time I visit, I feel truly heard and understood. She takes the time to listen carefully to all of my concerns and consistently offers thoughtful, effective solutions. What I appreciate most is her proactive approach to care-she doesn't just treat symptoms; she looks ahead to prevent future issues. I feel very fortunate to have her as my primary care provide
Swedish Patient
I know they are busy & sometimes it takes awhile to get an appt. However, my care team goes above & beyond to try to get me in earlier if needed & I appreciate it.
Swedish Patient
I have been with Dr Chow for 9 years if not more and I've never experienced a bad experience with her or at the front desk

Swedish Patient
My care team always makes me feel very special and taking care of my lab work and results, and explains the results or I needed more follow up. Thanks Care Team!!!!
Swedish Patient
My doctor is always great at helping me with any problems I present. I also referred a patient to her that had trouble finding a doctor, and she accepted him as a new patient.
Swedish Patient
She is good
Swedish Patient
I love Dr. Chao, I feel very comfortable with her like a friend. She really listens, she really cares, understands and gives me good advice. I just wish I could get an appointment with her sooner as I have to wait weeks or sometimes months to see her.
Swedish Patient
On this visit I had a very good experience. One thing that I don't like is how long you have to wait to get in to see the doctor for a routine check up (2-3 months).
Swedish Patient
My provider is absolutely nice and highly recommend to others.

Dr Chao was fully present to me as a human being needing her care. She takes time to synthesize all that she sees, reads and hears into a comprehensive understanding of my current health status. She is extraordinary, warm, caring, evidence based and I trust her perspective about what's bestshe is really unlike any provider I've had in the 9 years I've lived in this state.
