"Sam believes it is a privilege and a honor to be able to care for her patients. She strives to always deliver the highest quality of care, service and compassion."

"Joanna is a 2019 Seattle Met Top Doctor Award winner. As a hospital based practitioner, she provides care for patients during acute illness and routine chemotherapy admissions. She works closely with the MD and care team to formulate optimal treatment plans, while also keeping the patient involved in decision making whenever possible. Joanna's goal is to develop a relationship of mutual respect and trust with her patients and their families, and to help them navigate through potentially difficult hospitalizations with clear and concise communication."

Living with a serious illness, such as cancer, can be stressful. The journey from diagnosis through treatment can be challenging – even overwhelming at times.
