Family medicine benefits both patients and their doctors. You get more personalized, tailored health care and I get the satisfaction and personal fulfillment of caring for families over months or years. In fact, I chose family medicine because I enjoy caring for all generations: a child, a young couple during a pregnancy, right up to grandparents. I grew up in Edmonds and I've worked at SFM since graduating from Brown Medical School and a family medicine residency at Valley Medical Center in ...
Christopher Young, MD
Once upon a time, doctors made all the decisions for their patients. Today, patients expect to share in the decision-making process, and I believe that it's important for doctors to encourage and respect their wishes. I provide whole family care and preventive medicine with special interest in obstetrics, pediatrics, and minor office surgery. I graduated from the University of Washington Medical School and completed my residency at Valley Medical Center. I am board-certified and joined the ...
Julie Komarow, PA-C
By joining Sound Family Medicine in 2008, I have come full-circle. I began my career in private family medicine in 1986, after graduating from the University of Washington Medical School, working at the Everett Family Practice Center. After the clinic closed in 2001, I worked for a hospital-owned clinic in Covington for five years. The opportunity to join SFM, and return to an environment in which the bottom line is physician-directed, excellent patient care, proved irresistible. I wanted to ...
Mohit Mahajan, MD
Like many other physicians with Sound Family Medicine, I have moved to the Northwest to become part of this outstanding group of health care providers. However, I've come a bit further than most: from the other side of the globe in fact, graduating from the Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences Medical School in India. Along the way, I spent a few years in Texas getting to know the medical system and life in the United States. Afterwards, I moved to the Northwest and completed the Central ...
Susan McDonald, MD
I am a longtime Washington resident who grew up in the South Sound area and still has tons of family nearby. I attended Washington schools, graduated from the University of Washington Medical School in 1994, and I am board-certified. After first practicing in Auburn, I joined SFM in July 2003 at the Bonney Lake clinic. Full-spectrum family medicine has allowed me to establish strong family relationships by providing maternity care for moms, and caring for babies and children, as well as ...
Daren Mealer, MD
Although I was born in Austin, Texas, I have lived in many places across the United States and now finally call Washington home. After leaving college in 1990, I entered the United States Navy as an engineering officer, serving on a guided missile cruiser in the Gulf War. It was after my service that I went back to the University of Texas for a second degree in zoology with a focus on ecology, followed by a certification in automotive mechanics while applying to medical school. I attended ...
Daniel Wells, MD
I am pleased to be one of the newest physicians in the Puyallup Hartland office of Sound Family Medicine. My wife and I have greatly enjoyed both the area and our community here in Puyallup since moving here in 2008. As a board-certified family physician, I am focused on whole person care and whole family care and I try very hard to be both an advocate and a guide to my patients as we navigate the maze of modern medicine. My wife will be the first to tell you that I love what I do. I do not ...
