About this Clinic
The Diabetes Care Center consists of caring, motivated, and highly trained professionals working together to provide comprehensive diabetes care, education, nutrition advice, and support in a friendly atmosphere.
Our board-certified physicians are all specialists in diabetes care and offer an unmatched combination of clinical and research experience.
The center offers specialized treatment and patient education from diabetes nurse specialists and diabetes nutrition specialists, all of whom are certified diabetes educators. Our center's nurse practitioner provides additional expertise in diabetes management and urgent care, and has a special interest in health issues for women with diabetes.
The Diabetes Care Center also has a full-time pharmacist who specializes in diabetes provides advice and assistance with medications. A UW Medical Center psychologist and a psychiatrist are also available on-site to help patients deal with the psychosocial aspects of coping with diabetes. Our health-care providers have an exceptional staff of patient service representatives, medical assistants, and administrative professionals.
Our staff members are active volunteers for diabetes-related programs in the community as well. Each year we field teams for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation "Beat the Bridge" and the American Diabetes Association's "America's Walk for Diabetes" fund raisers. Several of our staff members serve as volunteer board members of the ADA at both local and national levels, while others volunteer part of their vacations at ADA camps for children with diabetes.
Diabetes affects the whole family. We encourage a family member or significant other to accompany you to your appointments.
