Arlene is the absolute best. I am so grateful to have her as my care provider.
Arlene was wonderful. She talked to me like a person and not just a patient. She was very helpful and explained everything that I needed to know so that I understood and could get what I needed taken care of.
Knowledgeable and personable. Listened well and very responsive. Top-notch!
Arlene is great! She listens carefully to my concerns and provides clear next steps.
Dr. Dorrough is a kind, caring, friendly and extremely knowledgeable doctor. I have seen her on several visits in the past including today, and not only does she provide me with the information that I need, her understanding and care of my health exceeds all expectations of what you would expect from a doctor. She is amazing and UW is blessed to have her on their team.

Can't say enough. Arlene makes me feel comfortable and makes the visit easy.
I felt Arlene gave me the best exam I've ever had. I liked that she told me what she was doing and what she was finding as she did the exam.
This was a wonderful doctor's visit. I felt cared about and listened to. All my visits at GynoOnc our wonderful because the care is so good. I've been having a hard time with my health and the issues going on and I don't feel safe inside my body right now. Arlene listened to me, understood everything that I was going through, related to my issues, gave me great medical advice and a much needed referral. I can't thank her enough. What a wonderful asset she is to the UW team. I've had several appointments with Arlene over the last several years and she has always gone above and beyond. While I I'm still having all my medical problems, she made me feel safe in my body and I felt cared for and that is very important. Especially when you are going through something like I am.
Excellent PA!
It was my first appointment with Arlene can't remember how to spell her last name. She was very caring and took the time to answer my questions and explaining in a way I could understand. I'm so happy to have her for my Dr.
My NP was very good into listening to my needs and helped me with my condition
Excellent all around, very thorough, professional, and personable,
I have received consistently great advice to help me navigate the side effects of therapy.
Arlene was so reassuring - she's smart, observant, good at communicating, thoughtful and gentle - I have already recommended her.
Tried Arlene Dorough for first time and thought she was excellent. She was thorough, did not make me feel like she was rushed but that I had her complete focus, she was kind and friendly. I hope I can continue to see her.
This was my first visit with Arlene Dorrough, and she made me feel very comfortable. Got to know each other and I feel it was a terrific visit. She explained things extremely well and I can say she took away any of my fears. She also did to call if any complications come up, and that was good to hear.
Love Arlene!!! She is great and personable. Always listening to my needs and addressing them! I love seeing her!
Arlene is very thorough in her job. When I said "do you have time for " she answered "I am here for you!" I love that! Best place ever, if you have to get chemo!
Arlene is the BEST. Her attention to detail, willingness to hear my concerns and answer all questions and put me at ease for my exam is unparalleled. She is one of the best providers I've ever had. And as a woman with a complex and provider-abundant gynecological history this is a very big deal to me!
Very caring and details throughout the exam. Well aware of various outside stressors. Willing to listen and demonstrated empathy.
Nothing to suggest, everyone on [...] team is wonderful and attentive. My experience with Arlene Dorrough was outstanding and she is truly an asset for the team.
Both the Nurse assistant and Arlene Dorrough, PA-C were wonderful!
