Meet Our Practioners

Chris Adams, MD
As a family practitioner of 22 years, I am amazed to rediscover every day the healing power of relationship, compassion, and the wisdom of nature. I graduated from the University of California, Irvine Medical School and did my family practice residency at the University of Washington Medical Center.

A few years into practice, I felt the call to explore those areas that I felt were missing in conventional medicine, namely nature and spirit, and did additional training in natural medicine at Bastyr University. More about Chris >>
