Caring for the Whole Person, Not Just the Illness

Since 1974, Neurological Associates of Washington has been a beacon of expert consultation and compassionate care in the Seattle area. Our practice is built on the core values of compassion, accessibility, experience, insight, minimally invasive treatment, and cost-effectiveness. We are proud to be an independent group, allowing us to provide a more personalized and compassionate alternative to the increasingly commercialized healthcare system. Our team of seven partner physicians, each with an average practice experience of over 20 years, is dedicated to delivering the highest level of neurological care.

Our Core Values

*Compassion*: We believe in care based on compassion, not commerce. Our physicians are solely employed by their patients, not by any hospital or insurer, ensuring a strong patient-physician relationship.

*Accessibility*: We believe patients should receive care primarily through private one-on-one time with their physician rather than physician assistants or a "team."

*Experience*: Our seven partner physicians are among the most experienced in the Seattle area, with an average practice experience of over 20 years.

*Insight*: We strive to identify the root cause of illness based on a careful analysis of the patient's clinical history, neurological examination, and diagnostic studies. We then customize a range of available options for treatment.

*Minimally Invasive Treatment*: We favor the most non-invasive treatment of all: helping the body to heal itself.

*Cost Effectiveness*: Unlike many healthcare facilities, we do not charge "Facility Fees, " which greatly inflate costs.
