His team is superior. I needed post surgery questions answered. It can be a challenge to get thru NW Medicine’s phone system’s blocks and screens, but Dr Witkowski’s staff responds quickly and effectively to questions and concerns. My follow up appointment on 2/21/was great. I now have had personal contact with five members of his team. I’m very appreciative and hope he gets to read this.

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
