About Melinda E. Hawkins

Dr. Hawkins is a multiple time recipient of the Seattle Top Doctor Award and most recently received the 2024 Seattle Magazine Top Doc Award.

Dr. Hawkins specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disease of the colon, rectum and anus. This includes an interest in minimally invasive surgical approaches to colon and rectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and diverticulitis, pelvic floor disorders such as fecal incontinence, colonoscopy and basic anorectal disorders.
