I cannot thank Dr. Von Dohlen enough for the awesome care she provided me. I’ve been to Seton NW, a couple of times, and I’ve had the luck of having her as my care provider on each visit. She ensured I was comfortable and well cared for in the emergency department: she took her time with me, didn’t...
