"Dr. McGehee completed her medical training at University of Texas Southwestern before relocating to Washington. She was drawn to oncology as an undergraduate and impressed by the ever-evolving science in the field. “For many, a cancer diagnosis is a life-changing event. But through compassionate care based on the latest research, I work with a multidisciplinary team to establish a manageable path forward for every patient.” Dr. McGehee believes in establishing a warm, supportive connection with patients and their families. “I understand the importance of taking the time to listen carefully. Patients should be confident in the treatment plan, knowing it honors and respects their goals.” Dr. McGehee proudly brings that level of care to each and every patient at the Swedish Cancer Institute."

"Dr. Paulson loves to practice medical oncology because it combines cutting-edge science with the humanity of medicine. She particularly appreciates the ability to form deep relationships with patients and families while navigating them through cancer diagnosis and treatment. She believes the best cancer care comes from a team-based approach and is delighted to work with compassionate professionals including oncology-trained nurses. She understands that patients are key members of their care team and thus strives to communicate the “how and why” behind personalized treatment plans for cancer or blood disorders to each patient."

"Dr. Montgomery is a native of the greater Seattle area: she was born and raised in Issaquah and went to Whitman College for her undergraduate studies. She decided to pursue a medical degree after a family member was diagnosed with cancer. She received her medical education at the University of Washington and was drawn early on to medical oncology as a subspecialty. "In oncology clinic, seeing the quality of the patient-doctor interaction, with its level of intensity, transparency and degree of compassion really impacted me, both as a person and as a physician." Having seen both sides of cancer care, both as a physician and as a family member of a patient, Dr. Montgomery understands the importance of patient-centered care and the team approach. "Providing excellent, state-of-the-art, individualized care really does 'take a village:' a multi-disciplinary team of providers, along with the patient him/herself, are paramount to providing the best possible care." In her free time, Dr. Montgomery enjoys staying active, outdoor adventures and spending time with family and friends."
