Finding a Doctor

When it comes to your child's healthcare, there's no more important decision than choosing the physician who can best meet your child's needs. Seattle Children's medical staff consists of over 700 physicians and other providers representing many pediatric specialty areas, general pediatrics and family practice.

About half of our medical staff are based at Seattle Children's Hospital, with the others located in the community. Most of our hospital-based physicians also hold faculty positions at the University of Washington School of Medicine and are nationally and internationally recognized for their patient care.

Instructions

Think about what kind of a doctor and office would be a good fit for your family. Read Choosing a Doctor for Your Child (PDF 58KB) for tips.

To find a physician, you can search by the physician's name, clinical specialty, or office location. Select your choices from the menus above. You may select more than one option to narrow your search.

Can't find what you're looking for?

If you are unable to find what you are looking for, or need additional help, call our Children's Resource Line at 206-987-2500 or toll free 1 866-987-2500, and select #2 for the Physician Referral Line.

Important: If you have a medical emergency, don't wait - call 911 for immediate medical assistance.

Important Information

All physicians, including pediatricians, family practice and specialists, listed in the Physician Finder are members of the Children's Hospital medical staff. Specialists that are listed either attend in Children's clinics, provide on-call services for Seattle Children's clinical services or have weekly scheduled operating room time at Seattle Children's. Participating physicians do not pay fees to participate in the program.

Some insurers require referrals from primary care providers. We recommend that you check with your insurance provider to determine whether your healthcare insurance requires a referral.
