Dr. Susan Altemeier is a pediatrician at the West Seattle Swedish Physicians Children's Clinic, and I can't speak highly enough of her kindness and empathy toward my energetic toddler. She takes the time to answer all of my questions, and, even more importantly, she is patient and understanding when it comes to dealing with my daughter. She is only in the office half time, but I have not found this to be much of a problem because the rest of the staff at the clinic is also excellent and I can usually get a same day appointment if my daughter has come down with something. (Note: I wrote "average" for cost but honestly I am unaware of her costs as compared to average as my insurance is billed directly and I have not cost-shopped for health care.)
