Dr Endo was extremely detail oriented and provided data driven reasoning for proposed treatment options. She was very clear in explaining everything and very patient with answering my questions. Her experience in latest treatment options and understanding around that area is very evident. I felt well guided to make choices for my health care.
My first impression was great. I was a little frustrated that the wait time for the doctor to enter the room was too long however she apologized and once in the room she was fully present. If she was giving the patient before me the same level of service I received then great on her!
Exceptional experience with Dr. Mayumi Endo. I left far more comfortable and educated than with my former care with a different medical system.

Dr. Endo is, I believe, one of the best endocrinologists we have in Washington. She is very knowledgeable and on the forward edge of new developments in her medical field. She listens to her patients and tries to help them with their needs starting with the least invasive procedure but is willing to do whatever she needs to to see them healthy. She is very kind and courteous. I would highly recommend her to others.
