My 17 year-old son and I recently met with Dr. Fuentes. To say I was impressed is an understatement. Dr. Fuentes was incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. After a year of chasing a mystery as to my sons illness involving tens of thousands of dollars and a whole care team with several specialities, Dr. Fuentes took the information gathered and did an important thing ... she listened. She asked the right questions he’d never been asked. She wasn’t rushed and I am sure spent more than the allotted time. She was kind and empowering for my son and cracked the case. For the first time in a year, he left Children’s smiling. The news was not great, but when you’re fighting a ghost knowledge is a powerful thing. Dr. Fuentes is the “Dr. House” of Children’s Hospital Seattle!
