Personal Information

Since the age of 7, I was determined to be a doctor so that I could help others. I grew up in Bellevue and attended the University of Washington for both my undergrad and medical school, working as a CPA for three years to help pay for medical school.
I'm an avid runner, having run cross-country for UW after being a Washington State high school champion. I continue to run marathons today, including both the Boston and New York marathons.
I enjoy gardening, the outdoors and my three wonderful kids.

My wife has seen this provider for many years and thinks highly of her for good reason. I fully agree with her assessment. This is the best doctor I have seen in the Evergreen system and that is not a low bar.

ONLY issue is availability. Dr Platz is incredibly supportive, informative and generous with her time - when you can get in the door. Impossible to see for any sort of real time response to those unexpected health issues that happen to everyone!

The unfortunate thing is my provider is very popular so difficult to get an appointment unless it's part of my routine check ups.
