Paige Ourada, PA-C
“It’s heartwarming to see the care coordination here — everyone works together with the goal of doing what is best for the patient. I want patients to feel like they have someone on their side and that I am here for them.”
— Paige
What do you value most about your work?
I find it rewarding to treat people who have taken active roles in their care and who I can connect with over time. I have been in that position as a patient, where I didn’t understand something, so I want my patients to leave a visit with me knowing what’s going on and with awareness of the plan and what is coming next.
What do you hope it's like for a patient to work with you?
I want to make sure patients feel empowered to ask questions and get the care they need. I try to be a calming presence in the room while also being fully honest and truthful, connecting with patients to help them feel seen and heard.
Provider Background
Specialty: Medical Oncology
Area of clinical practice
Orthopedic oncology
I am a physician assistant who sees patients at the South Lake Union Clinic. We treat tumors of the soft tissue and bones, both benign and malignant.
When I was in school, I focused on sports medicine, but then I spent a few years in family medicine. Working in orthopedic oncology allows me to practice the orthopedics side of medicine while following patients for longer and developing a connection.
