His team is superior. I needed post surgery questions answered. It can be a challenge to get thru NW Medicine's phone system's blocks and screens, but Dr Witkowski's staff responds quickly and effectively to questions and concerns. My follow up appointment on 2/21/was great. I now have had personal contact with five members of his team. I'm very appreciative and hope he gets to read this.
