That sounded great since I like consistency. I met her after the post op. She said I was recovering beautifully. I told her we plan to have a wedding. She told me I will be a beautiful bride. Great vote of confidence from a doctor! Needless to say, I highly recommend her.

While the dr gives ample time for questions, she does not do much asking herself - about what you and what you want. She consistently presented her plan for how my labor and delivery would be as though it were THE only plan, without asking what I wanted or discussing more than one option. She also focused almost entirely on physical health. Although her staff focused more on mental health, it made me uncomfortable that my primary OB devoted so little time to mental health, given how much it can affect pregnant and postpartum women. She also didn't seem to know more than I did about the effects of various antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds for pregnant women.

She was referred to me by a coworker, who loved her laid back, yet ultra professional and knowledgeable style. She was exactly the doctor I wanted to deliver my baby. Dr. Daniel helped my boyfriend and I get through the hardest experience of my life, when we lost our first baby to a chromosomal disorder at 5 months. (I was 39 and considered at risk because of my age.) We found out about all the "genetic markers" while at the routine ultrasound at 4.5 months. The lab technician and ultrasound doctor were both cold and clinical when telling us that our baby was not alright.It was so tragic and painful, but she was our angel to help us make it through and try again. Dr. Daniel was so compassionate, patient and loving. We then got pregnant again a few months later with a healthy baby boy, Jack who was an breeze to deliver and is still such a joy in our lives at 1.5 years old. It was a very nerve wracking pregnancy though after our sad experience, but Dr. Daniel and the other doctors and nurses at Seattle OBGYN really helped us feel at ease and confident. I give her the max of 5 stars here, but would give her 10 if I could. She is a lovely and talented person and responsible for so helping us create such a wonderful family. Lori

She's both an outstanding doctor and an outstanding person, the combination of which easily earns her five stars. I was referred to Dr. de la Torre by friends and couldn't have been more happy with her care. She answered my long lists of first-time mama questions expertly and patiently; I felt like I could talk to her about everything! She also engaged my husband, so he never felt like an outsider. We always felt respected when seeing her and our visits were never rushed. I even looked forward to them! The most pivotal moment in my son's life came when, in my last week of pregnancy, Dr. de la Torre decided to do one last ultrasound. It isn't common, but she just felt like she wanted to have another peek at the baby. At that ultrasound, we discovered a cyst in my son's brain that required monitoring -- and ultimately, neurosurgery when he was six months old. Perhaps it was a fluke that she ordered the ultrasound at that point, or perhaps she was amazingly attuned. In any case, it saved my baby from a stroke, seizure and/or brain damage -- which our doctors said would've likely occurred without intervention. Needless to say, we are profoundly grateful. My son is fine now, and Dr. de la Torre always asks for updates -- her interest and caring continuing long past the point of his birth. I look forward to sharing lots of news in the years and decades to come -- because as long as she's practicing, I will be her patient.

I…read morealways research all my doctors before picking them and the OB/Gyn group had very good reviews, so being new to the city, i decided to set up an appointment with them for my annual check up. She was very professional, on time, easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and made me feel at ease. She did not rush, took time to talk and honestly I've never felt so comfortable taking to a doctor about symptoms or concerns however minor they may be. And to add to that the pap smear and exam were the least uncomfortable I've had in a long time. I would feel very comfortable recommending her to others and to have her being my doctor when i got pregnant. I actually felt confident in her and am glad i can trust her with any health issues if they should arise. This is important as i usually am in great health but did have a minor issue earlier and visited a few doctors, none of whom inspired the same confidence. Totally unrelated, but if it matters to you, i am glad shes not very old, so i know she will be around for all my pregnancies and baby visits! Her assistant Megan(?) was also sweet,very friendly and unobtrusive. The front office staff were friendly and efficient, i didn't have to wait long to finish paperwork and be taken inside. Parking in the building was 6$ for a little over one hour. Not sure if they validate though. i forgot to ask.

They really need to get this in order - it just shows they are terrible with time management and scheduling. Overall an OK practice, but worth doing research if you have a tight schedule and need more flexibility than the rigidity of this one that has basically little to no flexibility and the patients always get screwed on this problem.

I really had no idea who she was and was just sort of driving blind. I ended up being really lucky in finding her. If you ever do a little research on her, you will find she's one of the best in the region, dedicated to her work, and surrounded by just as talented colleagues. From the beginning, she was kind and upfront. She remained honest and to the point. But still was able to act like a human being, something I see so little of in the medical world. Especially people as talented and sought after as Kelley. She really helped us through the difficult patches and ultimately at the delivery, knowing she was there and in charge helped put me at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful OB and a great experience in childbirth.

Dr. Kimelman came recommended from my husband's primary care doctor. We interviewed her during my…read morefirst pregnancy and liked her a lot, although, we still had concerns and reservations about the medical industrial complex and delivering at Swedish First Hill. My husband has a penchant for researching things and understanding subtle nuances which he repeatedly tested on Dr. Kimelman. She always welcomed his knowledge, understood the questions and issues thoroughly, and offered very thoughtful, sound, and research-backed answers. She impressed us with her steady, calm and graceful nature over and over. At 37 weeks, I had a very scary and unexpected development in my pregnancy and was placed on hospital bed rest. I was admitted to triage in the middle of the night while Dr. Kimelman was on a day off. I was impressed with the other doctors in her group who offered care (Dr. McKeever especially). We sought the advice of two doctors from SEA OBGYN as well as a perinatologist before ultimately deciding that we would wait another day to make any decisions AFTER hearing Dr. Kimelman's opinion. We had grown to trust her that much. During what was an incredibly stressful and scary time, Dr. Kimelman was an incredible resource and sounding board. In the end, I was lucky that she was on call over the weekend I was told I would deliver my baby. She knew that I had wanted a minimally invasive delivery, despite circumstances. And she totally delivered on helping me get just that. Instead of putting me on pitocin, she broke my water (this was also the only way she was able to get me a bed in L&D, as ruptured mebranes put me higher on the triage list). She assured me that after monitoring my contractions for 2 days she was certain my body would start labor on its own after rupturing my membranes and she was totally right. She also hand-picked a nurse who was very friendly to natural delivery. She was calm and funny (if I can even remember!) during my delivery. I felt as though I was completely in the right place, with the right doctor and luckily I delivered a healthy and beautiful baby girl! I'm now pregnant with baby #2 and, once again, nature is showing me who's boss by giving me an experience vastly different than typical. However, I feel incredibly safe and well cared for with Dr. Kimelman. Additionally, I've been pleased with all of the other doctors in her practice (Dr. McKeever (again) and Dr. Daniel, in particular) who I've been in contact with during this high-risk pregnancy. This is a great group of doctors! Remember that not everyone gets to have a straight-forward easy pregnancy and delivery. If that sounds like you and you want to make sure you're receiving top notch care, Dr. Kimelman is a great choice. Oh, and Dr. Kimelman's nurse Angie seriously rocks too!
