I've had Dr. Michael Jantzen as my personal doctor for just over 5 years. He has always taken the time to listen to my concerns, follow up with clear explanations and recommend specialists when necessary. He is a very personable man that truly cares about his patient. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great personal physician.
Swedish Patient
I am an 81 year-old retired professor. I come from a family of doctors and academics. I have known a lot of doctors in my life and I cannot emphasize enough that Dr. Michael Jannsen is an outstanding physician. He is going to to do everything he can to keep me alive for another ten years, despite the fact that he is going to have to deal with a very severe case of chronic obstructive trumpulitis.
Swedish Patient
Explains my questions fully
Swedish Patient
Dr. Jassen was thorough, warm, and listened carefully to everything I had to say. It was honestly the longest time I spent with a PCP (ever), but I'm coming from NY where the docs there are rushing you in and out of the office ASAP - I just wanted to say it was a great experience, and the nurses/staff were super friendly. Even when I got lost in the hospital, other doctors helped with directions (: thanks.

Dr. Janssen and his staff are great. The problem I had with the appointment delay this time was because I was transferred to the central office and they said the first available appt was 2.5 months out. This was not the fault of Dr Janssen or his staff.

Dr Jensen very thorough and kind
Swedish Patient
Always great experience
Swedish Patient
Dr. Janssen always takes time to make sure we've covered the reason(s) for the visit and to invite any additional questions and health concerns. I feel like he hears what I say and treats it respectfully. I'm sure his schedule is packed but he always treats my appointment as though he's in no rush and has plenty of time to address everything, although he efficiently moves things along.
Swedish Patient
I have had nothing but great service, gre

Dr. Michael Eric Janssen is an outstanding physician. He looks, listens and touches with an expertise that is comforting for those of us with mild hypochondria vis a vis our cancer, COPD and heart disease; most importantly, he really cares.
Swedish Patient
My care team is exceptional in every way: they reach out to me when they have news like test results; they respond very quickly to my chart questions; they are speedy to approve medication refill requests; they are smart as hell and give terribly good advice and suggestions that help me deal with my health situations. I cannot say enough positive things about my care team.

Swedish Patient
Dr. Janssen is fully on board with my diabetes and any other situation's. He is thoughtful and concerned, as well as very thorough.. I think the world of him.
Swedish Patient
Fully confident in Dr. J and his team. The only wrinkle in our association with Swedish is the access to a competent lab with speedy results - Dr. J needs competency and efficiency in lab results and the current restructuring is not supporting Dr. J or me as a patient.
Swedish Patient
I get very good care Dr. Jannsen, his staff, and the staff at the clinic. I moved a couple years ago and actually live closer to other Swedish facilities, but I prefer to continue to go to Ballard because I am well taken care of there.
Swedish Patient
Very thorough, very respectful. Listened to all I had to say and made recommendations to address.
Swedish Patient
Listening skills need improvement
Swedish Patient
Everyone does a great job. It is unfortunate that scheduling is so far out (8 to 12 weeks)

Doctor and his staff are doing a very good job of patient care.
Swedish Patient
I'm happy that I don't have to wait, or that I'm delayed for my appointments. I'm always seen in a timely manner. And everyone is courteous and efficient.
Swedish Patient
Dr.Janssen is not only intelligent but also intuitive. In other words , he can help me communicate to him what I am really trying to describe , It I is always a positive experience to see Dr. Janssen and his team.
Swedish Patient
My experience has always been a very helpful and gracious appointment.
Swedish Patient
Nothing bad, everything good.
Swedish Patient
My first visit, so I withhold final judgement. But Dr. Janssen seems to be EXTREMELY conservative in his care. On a first encounter some caution is good, but I am concerned... He Seems very inflexible.
Swedish Patient
I've never had anything but good experiences with my doctor and his team.
Swedish Patient
The experience with Dr. Janssen was excellent. Getting an appointment was disappointing. I am newly landed in Ballard and seeking a new provider using the Swedish website was cumbersome and time-consuming. Doctors accepting new patients was not current and my first attempts were not successful. Then my first appointment was scheduled 3 months out. I had no Idea. I should have started the process before I moved.
Swedish Patient
Good care.
Swedish Patient
Is very good at explaining things
Swedish Patient
Dr Jansen was really great. He was very thorough and thoughtful. He asked a lot of good questions and I could see he took all factors into account which gave me a lot of confidence.
Swedish Patient
OK

I love my doctor and my Swedish medical team
