How Does the Seattle Arthritis Clinic Work?
- Office Hours
- Regular office hours are 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m - 5 p.m. on Friday. Individual physicians may have extended hours. Please let us know if you have special scheduling needs. More contact information and directions.
- Scheduling Appointments
- When you wish to schedule an appointment, please call (206) 368.6123, and you will be given the next available appointment with your doctor. If you feel it is urgent, please state this when you call. X-ray, bone density exams and infusions are available any time, including the day of your office visit.
- Telephone Calls
- Test Results: You will be contacted if diagnostic results require a change in therapy. Normal or borderline results, or results that require detailed explanation, will be discussed at your next clinic visit. If you cannot wait until your follow-up visit, please call and ask to schedule a nurse visit to come in and review.
- General questions or new problems: A telephone call can never replace an office evaluation of a problem. Brief questions to clarify confusion can be answered over the phone. New symptoms or complex questions will require a visit.

For urgent rheumatologic problems after hours or on weekends, call: (206) 368.6123 and ask for the physician on call.
