Personal Information

I was inspired to pursue a career in medicine after my grandmother was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease when I was a child. Today, I approach care by forming a partnership with my patients. I pride myself on being an active listener and working directly with my patients to determine the best options to help them achieve better overall health and reach their health goals.
When I'm not caring for patients, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family, walking our dogs and cycling.

Community Involvement

I'm an active member of the Shoreline Rotary, where I've served as president.

Searched the internet for a new PCP because the one I had been seeing the last 12 years was bought out and no longer accepted my medical insurance. My medical search from Regence for a new PCP had very high remarks about Dr.Thurman and I made an appointment to interview him, I made the right decision. Dr. Thurman is quite cordial, listened very well and is very knowledgeable. I feel confident that Dr. Thurman will take excellent care of me and I'll trust my future medical health with him.

Dr. Thurman is genuinely concerned about his patients, he treats his patients as individuals, doesn't toss them in a group box with cookie cutter treatment. He knows each person reacts different to the same condition as another, he treats his patients accordingly to their situation.

Dr Thurman was attentive and comunicative during my visit but fell short on his communication after the visit. My diagnosis was sent thru My Chart, which I had asked for, but the full communication was 'You have mild scoliosis and severe arthritis lower lumbar spine. Start with PT as we discussed". That was it, verbatim. No context. No elaboration. No explanation of what kind of 'severe arthritis', which was never mentioned as a possible diagnosis during my exam. I requested some explanation the following day and got another minimal response.I am hoping for a better discussion with my PT and have scheduled my follow up appointment with my PCP to get more explanation of what 'mild scoliosis and severe arthritis' will mean for me going forward.
