This Dr Dean is a treasure to our healthcare community.
Dr Dean took the time to view past test information and discuss with me.
Patient focused.
Dr. Dean was a very good listener. During our meeting he answered my questions, giving answers that were understandable and complete. He had great eye contact several times invited questions. We had a good discussion and dialog. He took hand written notes, made eye contact, and did not sit in front of his monitor and type entries into my chart during the meeting. He was decisive, proposed a plan, and made referrals so the plan could be implemented. I would highly recommend him to other patients.
Dr Dean is the best of the best. My primary care Doctor at UW Medicine, Dr [...] , ordered the blood work panel so Dr Dean would have the results to review with me. Great example of "teamwork".
This is the first time that I had met Dr. Dean. I was impressed with his thoroughness and how well he explains things.
Dr Dean is always well versed on existing and new developments in the field of cardiology
Dr Dean is the pinnacle of health care providers. He's deeply knowledgeable, actively listens, talks up to me as if I was a peer and we agree on a plan of care as opposed to deciding what needs to be done and dictating it. He is attentive, flexible and genuinely concerned about my health. I leave with a deeper understanding of why the course of treatment was agreed on and what alternatives were available and the associated risks and benefits. I can tell he Is a rebel and not constrained to do what's typical but has studied literature and Is willing to offer aggressive treatment when he knows I desire It while educating me about the risks and rewards of an aggressive treatment plan. He makes me feel like he thinks I'm smart enough to understand the procedures and care plan and explains them to my satisfaction. It's easy to like and trust nearly any doctor, but In my experience, he Is the quintessential healthcare provider. He is also deeply humble, and shares when he doesn't know something. He offers to do research on subjects he Is unsure of and gets back to me.
Dr Dean in an excellent provider and shows both his years of experience and wealth of knowledge. I really am fortunate to have him as my doctor.

Dr Dean came in very much a teacher, ready to explain, answer questions and ensure that my husband and I understood everything he said. He was pleasant, HONEST, and open to any questions we had.
