Even though my regular doctor is at virginia mason and federal way, I always come back to see dr.Getchell. I've known him for years. And he kept my dad alive for another thirty years.

Dr. Getchell took the time to show me an aging chart that really gave me insight to aging and my complaints. As busy as he is, he spent a lot of time with me which I appreciate.

I love Dr. Getchell! He has served and treated members of our family for the past 20 years, and I feel he really cares about us and shows us love and genuine caring. Although we see him for our heart issues, we always look forward to our visits and trust that we will always get the best advice to keep us as healthy as possible.
