History
Dr. Jaime B Friedman and Dr. Carol B Sheckter met in medical school, did their residences and fellowships together at the University of Washington, married, and started Hawthorne Hills Internal Medicine in 1989. Located in Hawthorne Hills - close to Children's Hospital - their private practice has become one of the most bustling in the city. Drs. Friedman and Sheckter are deeply rooted in Seattle's North End community but draw a substantial number of East Side patients as well. Hawthorne Hills Internal Medicine has been built almost entirely by word of mouth. Drs. Friedman and Sheckter take great pride in the close relationships they have with their patients that gives the office a comfortable air of warmth and good feeling. Hawthorne Internal Medicine is adult medicine serving patients of all ages and occupations. Drs. Friedman and Sheckter are especially proud of the large number of area nurses and physicians who have chosen Hawthorne Hills for their own medical care.
