So far, I'm impressed by Dr. Powelson. During the visit I felt listened to, I felt like I was spoken with, instead of talked down to (as I've been in the past), and I felt like I was treated like a person. Also, I ALWAYS read the notes after my appointments to check for their accuracy, it tells me if the doctor was actually paying attention. I was VERY impressed that Dr. Powelson's notes were very detailed, very accurate, [....] Dr. Powelson was very professional and offered some new treatment options that I'm looking forward to trying. I'm hopeful that there will be improvement in my condition.
DrvPowlson and her team are excellent!!!! Generally speaking I hate Dr's. But she actually listens to me and we communicate well .

Dr. Powelson is amazing. [...]
[...] and Dr. Powelson are both excellent.
Dr. Elizabeth Powelson was amazing. I can truly say I have never been as impressed with the physician as I was with her. I have a very long-standing medical issue and I learned more from Dr. Powelson yesterday than No I ever could have imagined. She was truly outstanding. I left with more hope for the future than I have had in a very, very long time.
The care I have received from Dr. Powelson has been amazing. She has been the most helpful doctor I have out of all of my doctors.
I don't want to recommend her. She is too good! I want to be sure she has time for me! I can't see her again until August as it is! She assured me she would try to make it sooner. However.. She is a very, very, competent and compassionate and above and beyond physician. I do not blame her for the king waits for an appt.
I would highly recommend Dr. Powelson. I've already recommended her to a friend.
Dr Powleson was absolutely wonderful.She had so many thoughts and ideas for me to help my pain.More than any doctor ever has.
Dr. Powelson is wonderful and she has done marvelous things to reduce my pain. I would never hesitate to recommend her to friendshowever, having to let someone who is in pain know that it will be 3 month wait might be quite off putting.
Dr. Reiger is fabulous. She listened to every issue I had!!!
Doctor Powelson is the best doctor I have ever had.
Dr. Powelson is a compassionate physician. I don't feel rushed during my visits. She communicates clearly. I would highly recommend Dr. Powelson.
Great listener, very empathetic
It takes months to be seen by provider. I wait a long time to get an appt. because she is so good. It will be a long wait if I need to see her again.
Very caring and attentive. Really appreciated feeling heard!
She is one of the very best drs I've encountered. She is a good listener and very warm, personable. She had more ideas about things to try than I imagined possible. She seems to have the ideal mix of expertise, resourcefulness, flexibility, humility and compassion. The world would be a better place with more drs and humans like her.
My introduction with Dr. Powelson was exceptional. I felt validated and cared for.
Dr. Powelson is an expert in her field of pain!! Fabulous personality/approachable
Absolutely the most thorough exam ever. Detailed questions. Amazing exchange of questions totally answered.
Dr. Powelsen was phenomenal. She fully listened to everything I had to say, she had already reviewed my medical history and understood the complex and rare conditions I am battling, she provided multiple creative treatment options, as well as being friendly, compassionate, and knowledgeable. It can be very difficult to explain everything to a new provider, and she did an excellent job understanding and creating a plan with me to move forward. I left the appointment relieved and hopeful.
Dr Powelson was amazing!! Well worth the 1.5 hour drive up to Montlake.Felt such relief that she feels she can get me back on my feet and feeling "normal" again.Explained everything to me, showed me pictures of where my issue is and was very easy to talk with and very calming.[...]
Dr. Powelson is literally THE BEST!
Dr Powelson and Hallie were topnotch and the front desk was respectful
The Dr had done her homework in my chart and seemed very knowledgeable of how to maneuver within the system.She was very focused on my case and efficient.
