Dr. Sarah Hufbauer, MD

Sarah was recommended to me by a specialist after I moved to Seattle and I have never regretted asking her to be my primary care physician. She is a skilled clinician but exceptional in at least three ways: (1) compassion - I readily rank Sarah in the top two among the hundreds of physicians I've known during decades of healthcare employment; (2) communication - Sarah's bedside manner is exemplary and never rushed and her follow-up on clinic items and her replies to electronic messages are prompt and complete; (3) priorities - diet, exercise and lifestyle factors remain the overwhelming determinants of health and these receive more attention in Sarah's practice than in others'. Don't expect her to sidestep conversations that may be uncomfortable but do expect them when warranted and know they demonstrate her utmost understanding and respect.
