Primary Care Physician for Women in Sammamish, WA

Dr. Sanika Kshirsagar, ND provides primary care for women in Sammamish, Washington. Washington licenses naturopathic physicians as primary care providers, so she can diagnose, order and interpret labs, prescribe, and refer.

Initial visits are 60 minutes ($245), follow-ups are $125, and a Direct Primary Care membership is $150/month.

Women’s Primary Care for Sammamish

Sammamish is one of the longer drives to the clinic — roughly twenty-five minutes over the plateau and down through Redmond, longer at commute times. The 60-minute initial visit is the point of the format: 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, no insurer decides how long your appointment is allowed to be. New patients start with a free 15-minute intro call.

Health Patterns in Sammamish

That distance is why telehealth carries most Sammamish care. Quest Diagnostics at Sammamish Highlands on 228th Ave SE keeps lab work local, and Swedish Issaquah is about ten minutes south for imaging. The pattern that works from here is telehealth intake, a draw on 228th, a telehealth lab review, and a trip to Kirkland only when an exam genuinely needs to happen in person. Bartell Drugs on 228th is the nearest pharmacy to the Quest site.

Sammamish population: approximately 67,455.
