Dr. Albaum is an incredible care provider. She's really, really fast, but at the same time always makes time for the patient. I highly recommend her to friends & family.
Sarah rocks! She has been a fantastic care provider since my first appointment with her. She is caring, conscientious, competent and capable. She typically has the answers I'm looking for at her fingertips and in the few cases where she doesn't she quickly seeks them out and gets back to me. My healthcare journey, like many others, is quite complicated at times, with Sarah at my side I never feel lost. On top of more serious concerns to me, she also helped me get my blood pressure under control, which really needed to be done. A++
Sarah Albaum - ARNP is an excellent care provider. The best I have had in [...] years!
I feel fortunate to have Sarah as my primary
Dr Albaum is an amazing care provider. Her interaction style doesnt make me dread dealing with health physicians.
I felt I was listened to and some of my issues were taken into consideration. However it was difficult to get an earlier appointment due to been booked up.
ARNP Sarah has a caring and positive demeanor. [...] I appreciate that she is neither dismissive nor patronizing towards old guys. Instead, she really listens to us!
Sarah is truly wonderful. She listens and trusts me as a key player in my own healthcare.
Sarah Albaum is a fantastic NP and my primary care provider. I have been seeing her for at least [...] years, possibly [...]. I am also a cancer patient at Fred Hutch and see an oncologist there and have many appts. Sarah took the time before my appt on Monday to read through my chart and was up to date on my cancer status and acknowledged that she supported my request to have a second opinion re my cancer tx at UCSF. So often in my [...] years as a cancer patient I have found my primary care providers do not have the time or the ? To understand my cancer dx and treatment. It means so much to me that Sarah takes the time, as it is an integral part of my overall health care and health concerns. I was reluctant to chose a UW clinic for my primary care as I live on [...] so this involves a ferry ride to and from for appts. I chose it as I knew the MyChart would be integrated with Fred Hutch and am so happy I found Sarah Albaum. Highly recommend .
Sara is the best she is on top of it , very responsive . Complete trust in her .
She is always amazing,
Dr. Albaum and the PA [...] are amazing. Courteous and respectful.
Sara Albaum is always very attentive and made me feel very listened to. She validated my concerns and was helpful in determining a proper plan of care and helped me to understand the different tests that would benefit me and my diagnosis. She makes me feel like an integral part of my healthcare team and empowers me to speak up about different concerns and my proposed explanations. I always leave feeling more confident in my healthcare journey.

I plan to continue to drive in from the east side to see Sarah - she is great! she is empathetic, hears my concerns, and provides me with great options for any testing or treatment necessary.
Sarah Albaum is amazing and I recommend her to everyone!
Excellent discussions and explanations provided! Thanks Sara!
Sarah Albaum is a very good listener, as the problem I have is very complex and extremely rare, it is a genetic mutation that only happens in (there are just over a thousand people on the registry in the United States and Canada) very few people. It is extremely complex, and it affects each person differently and she has been able to direct my care to the people that are most able to help with my care. FD/MAS is not curable, has few treatment options, and is very painful. The best PC I have had in over [...] years. It took me [...] years to find someone to really look at the research I had done as to what was really wrong with me and then get me to the right Specialists that confirm this.
Excellent experience! Appreciate my provider's care and concern for my wellbeing. My provider was very thorough and made me feel heard, appreciated, and safe/comfortable.

Love Sara as my PCP. She always listens to understand my concerns and addresses them directly. Talks to me in a personable way that allows me to be comfortable to raise my concerns all while remaining professional and on topic. She consistently cares for me in a holistic manor. I never walk away feeling like appointments are rushed or things are brushed over. Very satisfied with Sara's care and approach!
I could not ask for a better Primary Care person.
My provider communicates well, asking open ended questions and confirms that she has understood me and me her. Also asked if I had any remaining questions.

Dr. Albaum actually makes going to the doctor's an enjoyable experience! I know I will also be heard and will have a multitude of solutions to any problems I may encounter.
Sarah is great. Asks good questions and listens well. Best primary physician I've ever had!
NP Albaum is fantastic and I have no fears bringing up my concerns with her. She is a great listener and involves me in her treatment making decisions, which makes me feel like her and I are a team working together to find solutions rather than her simply dictating treatments. I feel in control of my health with her.
HUGE fan of my provider (and everyone else I've encountered at this location). I always feel heard and cared for, I trust this team to the fullest, and I've recommended my provider and the clinic as a whole to several friends.

As previously mentioned, Sarah is very present during our interactions. She is thoughtful, attentive, communicative and able to suggest beneficial solutions and possible directions to take with my healthcare. Sarah is one of my all time favorite healthcare providers that I have ever had. She is knowledgeable, experienced, and has an obvious enthusiasm about her work and sharing what she knows to help others. Sarah is very likeable, and a lovely, pleasant human to be around. I love her energy!
