Melinda E. Hawkins, MD

Doctor Hawkins is amazing. She and her staff have helped me save my life.

This was a pre-op consult for surgery and I was very nervous about the visit. The Dr addressed those concerns and spent a lot of time discussing the procedure, potential obstacles and answered all my and my husband's questions.

Very excellent in care services and in taking care of appointments

Every care team member from this experience has been attentive, knowledgeable, good listeners and professional throughout.

I love my doctor, nurses, and admin team. I would never want to leave Swedish. Thank you of ryour outstanding worldclass care

Dr Hawkins explained procedures in a very understandable way and answered all my questions frankly.

As someone who has searched for answers about my condition for at least 10 years with 5 different specialists, I was taken back by how thorough Dr. Hawkins was and how much she already knew about my medical history with this problem before we started engaging in conversation. Everything she told me is what I have been personally thinking; her opinion matched mine which meant everything to me. She was easy to talk to and did not rush through the appointment. Can't say thank you enough.

Was quite amazed and grateful.

Great Doctor! Very caring, skilled, and listens to my concerns. She always provides good feedback on ways to deal with my condition.

Dr.Hawkins and all of the staff are top notch. I refer friends and family here.

Good

I appreciate Dr. Hawkins ease in explaining colorectal matters, particularly ones I might be embarrassed to discuss. She made me very comfortable.

Dr. Hawkins is wonderful! She explained how the surgery to remove my cancer would go and what the plan was. She also explained the risks, and what would happen if the plan for the laparoscopic surgery didn't go as planned.

Very good care

Excellent

Dr. Hawkins is absolutely wonderful! She knows all about me and my medical issues. She has helped me with my bowel problems over several years. She is understanding, kind and very thorough. I think she is a caring, fantastic, doctor!

The reception staff was welcoming and helpful. The nurse staff was kind and enthusiastic. The Dr was/is professional, comprehensive, understanding, inclusive and compassionate.

Dr Hawkins was great!

Competent, ethicall, sensible in tx approach

Down to earth and whip smart. Takes the time to understand patient questions (even the difficult to decipher ones!), and offers clear answers and educates patient along the way. An excellent communicator.

Very caring person. So glad she was my surgeon

Dr. Hawkins is very good at explaining medical facts in plain English. She's a good listener and communicator.

Dr Hawkins was very thorough in the information she gave.

All good.

Explanations were clear and instructions detailed. Dr. Hawkins has a calm unhurried demeanor and listened to and understood my problem. Front desk staff were very pleasant and the check in process went smoothly.

Excellent MD. Can't say enough good about her. I'm lucky to have her on my team.

Terrific doctor! She's so good that it's hard to get in

Always good service

Dr Hawkins was extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, and straight forward with her advice, I was scheduled with in a month, as was stated would probably happen when appointment dates were discussed. When I left my appointment, I had my surgery date, my pre op instructions, knowledge of my chart for communication and where to turn if I had questions. I am SET for my cancer surgery. I am impressed with the system SWEDISh has in place!

Excellent experience

I am so lucky and grateful to have such an skilled and professional provider like Dr. Melinda Hawkins.

Dr. Hawkins is absolutely amazing! Every time I see her she knows what to do for me and REALLY cares about me! I constantly recommend her!!!

Dr. Hawkins is amazing! I have been seeing her for several years for a more chronic condition. She is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly, and had really helped me to understand the background of my condition and different treatment options over time. And when I have had new issues pop up, she has listened to my concerns and has been helpful in seeking care and answers.

Most educated, most respectful, most inquisitive doctor I've had over the past 10 years. Listened to what I actually said and had questions ready when I finished any explanation or example I gave of my situation. It was both relieving and gave the vindication I needed after 10 years of doctors and specialists who thought they "knew everything", but never actually heard me.

Dr Hawkins is one of the most talented doctors I have seen. She is kind and yet totally professional.She is truly amazing

Very pleased with my care provider always willing to listen to me.

Very empathetic for what turned out to be a minor non dangerous diagnosis

I love Dr Hawkins calm demeanor.

I FELT VERY COMFORTABLE WITH DR.HAWKINS. SHE WAS A WONDERFUL DR.TO ME. I REALLY CAME OUT OF MY APPOINTMENT FEELING GOOD ABOUTMY MEDICAL PROBLEMS, AND I CAN FINALLY HAVE A WONDERFUL DOCTOR TO HELP ME.

As I said. I love dr Hawkins. She had been an amazing help with my problems and has such good advice for options I can try recommend by other practitioners. She is the best!!!

The team is welcoming and efficient.The Dr. & hospital Scheduler are organized and have calming and caring attitudes.
