Primary Care Physician for Women in Redmond, WA

Redmond is home to major tech companies including Microsoft headquarters, creating a population heavily weighted toward tech professionals and their families. The median age is 36, with a median household income of $122,000. The population is 58% White, 31% Asian, 6% Hispanic/Latino, and 5% other ethnicities. Approximately 72% of residents have bachelor's degrees or higher. The community values work-life balance, outdoor recreation, and preventive health approaches. A primary care relationship with Dr. Sanika covers the usual ground — blood pressure, cardiometabolic risk, thyroid, mental health, preventive screening, acute concerns — and then keeps going into what women most often report being rushed through: menstrual cycles, hormonal transitions, fertility, pelvic floor function, bone density, and iron status. The initial visit is 60 minutes, which is the whole point. It is long enough to connect a cycle problem, a gut problem, and a mood problem in one conversation instead of across three separate referrals. Because Soma Naturopathic is cash-pay, there is no insurance company deciding how long your appointment is allowed to be. New patients start with a free 15-minute intro call.
