Andrew Wei, MD
Family Medicine
I grew up in California and Arizona and after a brief stint on the East Coast, I returned to the West Coast for medical training. After living in cities throughout the country, I'm excited to call Seattle home. I am an advocate for social justice, equity and caring for all people. My partner and I both work in medicine and live with our white poodle mix. I was inspired by mentors throughout my career to pursue medicine, from my high school biology teacher, who got me fascinated in science, to my first boss out of college, who helped me discover my love for patient stories and the healing power of primary care.
About my practice: I am a careful listener who strives to understand each patient's story to understand their values and goals before making medical recommendations. I believe that education and shared decision-making helps to empower patients to take an active role in their health. Health and wellness happen in the home and in the community, not just in the doctor's office. I earned my medical degree from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and completed a residency in family medicine from Swedish First Hill in Seattle.
How I thrive: To stay active, I get my cardio up by playing basketball and boxing. I cook nutritious meals at home to stay healthy. My perfect day off involves spending time with family and friends cooking and spending time outdoors. I stay motivated by trying new activities and recipes and by exploring.
