Both the assistant and Dr Inchauste provided detailed, thoughtful replies to my questions and concerns.
This is a doctor who listens, cares, and takes care of you.....I quite adore her.
Everything about Dr. Inchauste is excellent!
I appreciate Dr. Inchauste's engagement with me and her sense of humor.
I have recommended this clinic and this doctor in particular to my friend and told her how I felt the doctor really listens and understands and cares about her patients and that they would be content with their outcome
Very professional and caring, clear and concise in explaining the treatment plan
The only concern is Dr. Inchauste's scheduling and her availability to see patients timely. I appreciate she's in high demand but better communication on her timing would have been good practice.
Everything was discussed with clarity & all my concerns were addressed accordingly.
I love Dr. Inchauste - she is always patient, informative, kind and always allows time for feelings and questions.
Dr. Inchauste always explains very clearly. She is always understanding of my concerns and questions.
Anyone coming to UW "Plastics" is blessed to work with Dr.Inchauste. She is smart, caring, "curious" when something may be awry, and really wants patients to "team" with her so the patient lives the best life possible. Questions to Dr, Inchauste are answered so the patient understands "all". I feel like she sees the whole person and recognizes that the body has many "systems". Her brilliance is apparent as she lends her expertise and caring for a patient's quest for great health. I never feel like I can't ask questions. And, I appreciate her truthfulness in telling me what changes I should make. There have been a few medical people, not In the plastics area, that appeared uninterested and It didn't appear to be appropriate to ask questions. We are blessed to live in Washington, so that we can easily access.UW Med. Dr. Inchauste has medical-technical skills, as well as the soft skills that are needed as a doc. I'm sure she has already written articles on "how medical staff can and patients can team to achieve the best health results".
