"In 2011, I had been working for a large medical corporation and was finding that the expectation that one can forge a lasting bond with a medical provider in 12 minutes to be very difficult. When the opportunity presented itself to take over a small but well established medical clinic in Greenlake, I decided that it was time to take the risk. Together, with my long standing friend and colleague Melissa Holmes, PA-C, we built a primary care clinic that focuses on the personal relationship that is created with each patient.
I am a board certified Family Medicine physician. I attended Tufts University in Medford, MA and then went to Tufts Medical School in Boston. I did my Family Medicine Residency training at Valley Medical Center in Renton, Washington. Since becoming a physician, I have striven to promote active participation from my patients by listening to my patients’ ideas and working together to create a health and wellness plan.
After 15 years of working full time as a primary care physician, I decided to focus more on running the business and reduced my panel size to a small membership based practice. To learn more about this model of care please contact me directly at [email protected]. I also have become active in the treatment of eating disorders, providing medical stabilization at local partial hospitalization, outpatient, and residential units in Seattle. Melissa Holmes, PA-C provides primary care for patients with all types of eating disorders here at Greenlake."
