  • Patient Testimonials

    • Alexis Friday Harbor, WA 06.07.23

      If your child needs an attentive, smart, kind Endocrinologist, Dr. Ness is definitely worth checking out! Our son has Down syndrome and she has been wonderful and absolutely worth the drive to Children’s Hospital!

    • Jeanette Kingston, Wa 03.26.22

      Dr. Ness is absolutely one of the best. She works so hard to find answers and solutions even when you’re a child likes to do things the hard way and keeps everybody thinking. I would recommend her to anybody. I trust her completely with the care of my son and my son thinks she is sweet and caring also. We are very blessed to have her as a doctor and a part of our healthcare family. Jenny and Carson
