🚨 Emergencies & Scope Limitations
The Ballard Clinic is ideal for routine and urgent care, but not for critical emergency situations:
For life-threatening emergencies—such as chest pain, stroke, uncontrolled bleeding, or severe trauma—please call 911 or proceed to the nearest emergency department.
The on-site urgent care center provides efficient treatment for non‑emergent issues like sprains, minor burns, rashes, and flu-like symptoms.
For more complex specialty needs—such as surgical procedures, advanced cardiac care, or inpatient services—referrals to UW Medical Center or University Village specialty clinics will be arranged.
Virtual visits through MyChart are available 7 days a week for added convenience and safety.
👥 Providers & Patient Experience
You’ll be cared for by a compassionate team of board-certified family physicians, internal medicine doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. With an emphasis on patient-centered care, providers encourage open conversations, sufficient time during appointments, and shared decision-making. The clinic also includes behavioral health specialists, certified diabetes educators, and pharmacy support for integrated care across all aspects of health.
🌟 Why Ballard Primary Care Stands Out
✨ Holistic, Whole‑Family Care: Comprehensive service offerings ensure that children, adults, and seniors all receive dependable, continuous care in one location.
✨ Convenient & Comprehensive: From lab tests to urgent care and specialist referrals, virtually all medical needs can be managed here under UW Medicine’s trusted infrastructure.
✨ Telemedicine and Flexibility: Virtual visits are available for patients preferring remote consultations or facing transportation challenges.
✨ Patient-Centered Culture: The clinic’s modern lobby, private exam rooms, on-site lab, and inclusive environment create a comfortable and welcoming setting.
