Fernando Vega, MD
I was born and grew up in Seattle, though I spent some early years in the Philippines living between the jungle and the city of Manila. For the first five years of my medical career, I practiced Emergency Medicine in ERs throughout Pennsylvania and Washington.
When I began private practice in 1981, I found practitioners of other disciplines to join me (acupuncturists, physical therapists, naturopaths, midwives, and physicians in other specialties), and the collective of Seattle Healing Arts Center was born.
During more than 30 years practicing medicine, I have been privileged to hear many stories and witness a wide range of clinical situations and outcomes. My approach with new patients often starts with learning some of their life story. This includes influences on their emotional and social development as well as their spiritual perspectives. From this foundation of understanding, health issues and goals are then addressed.
