Excellent session, thanks for being thoughtful, supportive, and full of useful practical advice.
-
Because I just recommended this clinician and Optum Lifestyle and Metabolic Health today, I know the likelihood is 100%. In my recommendation I made a contrast to my experience at Swedish Weight Loss and Endocrinology, where support for medical weight loss, including nutritionist support, is lacking.
-
My doctor did not address the concerns I had at this time and did not give me solutions. She seemed very set on pushing GLP1s even when my metabolic health has stayed at an improved state. Her concern was only about how to convince me to take GLP1s citing poor evidence. She did not pay any attention to the lifestyle changes we have made over the years without any medications. She seems like a firmBeliever that only pharmaceuticals are the only solution. Seemed all over the place with citing proper research even when we corrected her facts.
-
Dr. Basilica is excellent
-
Excellent preparation, clear explanation of reasoning behind what she suggested, listening to my goals and tailoring recommendations to my current priorities.
-
Dr Basilico is knowledgeable, thoughtful and incorporates elements of my concerns and unique situation into her recommendations. I feel heard and seen, never rushed. She makes me comfortable opening up about personal things that may be contributing to my health that I have not been comfortable sharing with other physicians
-
This visit was in a classroom setting for IBT. No diagnosis or treatment were discussed.
-
She has some of the best bedside manner I've seen. Willing to listen and never made me feel rushed for time. Her questions were thoughtful. She kept asking great questions to help get to the root cause. Very compassionate about very sensitive and emotionally impacting issues discussed. She's someone who makes you feel like she's invested in helping you as a person and not another number to get through.
-
Very thorough and thoughtful. Encouraging and listened well and took time for me and my concerns. I didn't feel rushed.
-
She was great!!!!
-
Dr Basilico was thorough and very responsive.
-
I was a patient at Swedish weight loss, it was clear not all my records transfered over. Not an issue just spent a couple minutes reviewing my treatment for obesity.
-
Dr. Basilco takes the time to listen to my needs and is respectful and informative.
-
Provider would not listen to any of my concerns. I had to tell her no 3 times and she kept arguing and questioning my decision.

About Enrica Basilico, MD
I completed my residency at NYU School of Medicine and served as the primary care chief resident where I developed a passion for doctor-patient communication. The foundation of my care philosophy is based on respect, collaboration and practical care. After moving to Seattle with my family in 2010, I continued as a primary care physician and became drawn to the treatment of obesity. This led me to become a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine in 2018 and to focus full time on obesity medicine.Philosophy of care
I'm passionate about working with patients to address the forces that promote weight gain. My evidence-based approach focuses on addressing the biological factors affecting metabolism, developing sustainable habits, and creating plans that are tailored to the patient.Gender
