This is a great clinic starting at the front desk and including all the nursing staff and of course Dr. Herring. All the precautions taken by the staff are very much appreciated as is their friendliness and desire to be helpful. I have found this to be true in all of the UW Medicine clinics I have used in my family has used. I trust the level of care that I receive at UW Medicine.
