Michael W. Field, MD
“I started practice in Seattle in June of 1983. Many of my original patients are still in the practice (and I think I am the only one whose gotten older). I try to maintain the same attitude - let your patients see your personality and they will trust your care. I would like to thank all my patients and all my partners for the last 20 years - it just doesn’t get any better.”
