The
UW Neighborhood Kent/Des Moines Clinic is a new site for the UW Pediatric Residency Training program from Seattle Children’s Hospital; creating a community based training site for pediatric resident physicians.
The program will start with 14 resident physicians who will begin seeing patients in July 2012 and grow to a total of 24 residents per year. Residents will be supervised and taught by the clinic’s four pediatricians, Dr. Sheryl Morelli, Dr. Kari Gillenwater, Dr. Matthew Blessing and Dr. Doreen Kiss.
Resident physicians provide care for everything from ear infections to well child visits, for children of all ages, from newborns to young adults. The very busy Kent/Des Moines Clinic is dedicated to providing patient-centered care and is the perfect setting for the residents to see a high volume of patients and learn about primary care pediatrics.
Don't wait, make an appointment at our Neighborhood Kent/Des Moines Clinic at 206.520.5000.
