Fantastic bedside manner! Great with kids and parents, especially if the news isn't so great. He helped our son with hip dysplasia. Tried a new harness when the other wasn't showing signs of success, prevented surgery, and our son's case was highlighted in a medical journal. Highly recommend Dr. Jinguji!

When we lived by seattle wa,he was the best for my daughter who has cerebal palsey,he was great with communications for us and to take care of her needs,ty so much for being there for her!! A ++

SusanKingston, WA12.26.12

We have seen Dr Jinguji multiple times over the past few months for concussion, back spasms, and torn labrum. To sum up our experience in one word would be 'wow'!. His communciation during the visit and after was outsanding. He even followed up by phone with our pediatrician and our schools athletic trainer. I could not have ask for a better Dr to handle my son's multiple situations. Dr Jinguji is an outstanding Doctor and I highly recommend him!

AngieSnohomish, WA08.03.12

He is WONDERFUL- caring, reassuring, thoughtful, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. Even though I was not happy to have to bring my baby to see him to get her put in a hip harness he always helped me leave with feeling not as sad and overwhelmed...He is really a terrific doctor and I do not mind driving 1 hour to see him

BrandiBothell, WA09.19.11

Dr. Jinguji is terrific. He has seen our daughter numerous times for hip dysplasia. He is gentle and kind. Most importantly, he talks to her to tell her what is going. She loves this!

SoniaIssaquah, WA09.16.11

Dr. Jinguji is staying true to his mother's advice! During a routine annual visit for my son's spine, Dr. Jinguji discovered a muscular sports related problem in my son's hip/leg. We are looking forward to a follow up visit with him and trust his thorough approach will discover a way to give further relief to my son after his physical therapy.

CherylEverett, WA05.31.11

I give Dr. Jingugi my highest reccomendation. He took great care of my daughter when she broke her ankle. He spent a lot of time developing rapport with her individually and also spent a lot of time explaining the injury, treatment options and potential complications to me and making sure all of my questions were answered. He is a very warm and kind individual and I appreciated his practical approach and the fact that we never felt rushed. I would definitely choose to work with him again if the need arose.

PaulineDes Moines, WA05.05.11

Dr. Jinguji is a very excellent physician. He was my children's Pediatrician at UWPN. My son personally asked to be referred to be treated by Dr.Jinguji when he injuried his hand. An outstanding individual and all around nice person.

NancyBellevue, Wa12.01.10
