I love family medicine because I’m able to draw on evidence across multiple disciplines to provide continuity of care from birth through end of life, and be present with my patients to help them understand the bigger picture when coordination of additional care is necessary. I think about health holistically and love empowering my patients to learn strategies to improve their health and well-being. Changing some of the variables around relaxation, sleep, hydration, nutrition, exercise, mindset and community engagement can be life changing. I was drawn to my specialty of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine because it is holistic. Rather than focusing on a single-organ system or a subset of patients, each evaluation considers symptoms within the context of the whole person—body, mind and spirit. With this, I am able to address structural restrictions in the body which can improve pain and enhance one’s innate ability to heal. I'm excited to be a part of the Island Health community. My younger sisters and I were raised on Whidbey Island; living and working in Anacortes feels like coming home! In my down time I enjoy gardening. Using my own vegetables and herbs in the meals I cook is very rewarding. This year I plan to incorporate more flowers. I also love dancing, especially Balboa, though tango looks fun, too.

Hello, I’m Dr. Weeks
Having grown up on Whidbey Island, I am thrilled to be back in the Pacific Northwest with my family. In my free time, I prioritize gardening, cooking, skiing, hiking, yoga, and dancing.
