It is with mixed emotion that I write to you today to announce my retirement from the practice of medicine after 30 years of commitment to patient care. It has been my pleasure to serve our community and to be a collaborative part of your health care. I have had the privilege of meeting so many amazing people over the course of my career and have developed lifelong friendships.
After the transition of my private practice to new owners, the subsequent retirement of my business partner, Darla Smedley, and the urgent calling to care for family members in need, I feel that now is the time for me to focus on the next phase of my life's journey. Over the past three decades, I have watched many families grow and have shared in the heartache and joy of healthcare.

I've been treating with AWH since I moved to Tacoma in 2018. They have helped me navigate a variety of unique health issues. I always appreciate Carmela's sensitivity with my concerns and her willingness to take time to answer all my questions in full. Also, Mimi is an angel! And the front office team is always so polite and understanding! I've never felt judged here and intend to keep coming here for my allopathic primary care needs.

Everyone here is so nice and kind. I really felt like they listened and understood my concerns. I saw Michelle Dosa for an ongoing issue I was having and previously I had seen 6 other doctors. Not only were the other doctors not helpful, they misdiagnosed me. Dr. Dosa really took the time to investigate and was able to properly treat me.

I've been a patient at Advanced Women's Health for many many years. I absolutely love them! My current primary care provider is Lydia Miller. She's incredibly thorough and caring. She's recently taken over ownership along with another provider there, and I'm sure it'll continue to be a wonderful place.
They offer more services than just primary care. My gynecologist Michelle is also wonderful. They've offered massage, counseling, nutrition, chiropractic, and other services in the past. I don't currently utilize other services so I don't know exactly what they offer right now.

I love this clinic. The staff, nurses and doctors are amazing. I was referred here by a friend and I've been a patient for years. Its hard to find a good doctors office but everything about this clinic is genuinely pleasant. These ladies are fantastic and work really hard. I appreciate them and the way they run their clinic!
