Swedish Patient
I'm very happy having Dr. Obih managing my care. I have always been treated with respect and kindness from the Receptionist to the Medical Assistant to Dr. Obih herself. I feel like Dr. Obih does a thorough exam, asks pertinent questions, allows time for my questions or concerns and offers treatments for medical concerns with the same urgency I express to her. In other words, if I just want to make something a matter of record and talk more about it later, she does that. If I want a solution today, she is ready with a plan to address it in that visit.

She listens to my concerns, and then takes the time to explain many options that are available for the treatment and best outcome of my health issues.

In the past I've had some very painful and debilitating episodes with both palendromic rheumatism and arthritis and her care has really helped. She is knowledgeable, listens and clearly presents treatment options. She answers all my questions. We just agreed to see each other once a year as I am currently in a good state. But I'm sure glad to know she's there if/when I have further issues. Highly recommended. She's professional, elegant and warm. I feel very comfortable around her. Keep her happy!

Swedish Patient
I was able to go on call list and get into see Dr. In time. My scheduled appointment would have been after my medication ran out. It worked out.
Swedish Patient
I appreciated Dr. Obih's attention and that she gave me two injections. One for Trochanteric Bursitis pain and the other for trigger finger. Both seem to be beneficial. I also appreciated that I was able to ask Dr. Obih for her thoughts about various products advertised as providing relief for arthritis pain. She offered helpful perspective. Appropriately she did not endorse products, also she didn't discourage me from trying some if I choose to. If I do try them I will pay close attention to whether they're beneficial.
Swedish Patient
She knows about my conditions and explains with X-rays and medications.

Swedish Patient
I believe it's a miracle that I have Dr. Obih for my RA. It is because of her that I am at least 90% pain free & have a quality of life that I find my life very rewarding & celebrate each day because of Dr. O. A group of women at the gym with RA seeing other doctors compared our hands. I was the only one out of 8 that did not have ANY CROOKED FINGERS. That's a miracle. All of the other women's hands had several swollen, In pain & crooked fingers. My fingers & toes in my mid 70s are normal looking---no swelling, none crooked, shocking to others with RA. They asked me "how does that happen?" I said it was my doctor and the meds she prescribed because she's brilliant about RA, but most of all she cares for me. I have lost a lot of the ability to use my thumbs. I'm an artist getting ready for my contests and will have a lot of trouble finishing projects for contest. Dr. O gave me injections & I have good use of those thumbs to finish my paintings, pottery, photography, & jewelry making. I won the Grand Champion in jewelry & pottery at 3 contests last year. It's my destiny. However, because of Dr. O, & the meds she prescribed, I continue to win lots of ribbons & rewards in my contests, Most of all, I have a life many seniors don't. I have a life I would change WITH NO ONE because of Dr. Obih. Swedish needs to go out of their way to keep this doctor because she changes lives, really cares about the patients who are suffering, & is brilliant in her work

Swedish Patient
Dr. Obih is the best. She is attentive, intelligent, and listened to what I had to say.

I highly recommend Dr. Obih to anyone seeking a Rheumatologist.

Swedish Patient
I've had excellent care from this provider so much so that I have recommended Dr. Obih to my stepdaughter who has Lupus.
Swedish Patient
I was very impressed with Dr. Obih . She listened to me, answered questions and was extremely helpful regarding bone density medications. One challenge was when I shared some of the symptoms I had I wasn't sure if she took me seriously because she didn't see those symptoms at that appointment. I had pictures of my low BP so she could see that. Living in a rural community I can't always get right in to get something checked out, like the red painful eye, which can make diagnosis harder. I don't think we can completely discount the possibility of a connective tissue problem. She did not give me any ideas on what is causing the fatigue, which is definitely disabling. Overall I think she is an excellent Doctor and I appreciate her input and insight.
Swedish Patient

Swedish Patient
Receptionist at Dr Obih's was very professional and friendly. Great attitude.
Swedish Patient
It is trying to meet a new specialist when dealing with an undiagnosed chronic condition. I felt very well taken care of and met as both a patient and as a person. The doctor was methodical, thorough, kind, and thoughtful. She asked in depth questions, also asking more than once which is amazing because it is hard to miss a detail that is important when you are at the long awaited appointment (lots of gate keeping for specialists/rheumatology). I left with a recommendation for a new direction, feeling cared for. Typically leaving a specialist who tells you "this is not the answer to your condition" it's a hopeless feeling, and back to square one, not this time. I hope that she gets to read this, I'm thankful for her, her incredible bedside manners and intelligent approach.
Swedish Patient
Every visit, I am pleased with the care, concern, compassion I receive every visit from Dr. Obih
