Orion Wells, MD

I spent my summers growing up on a geology field camp near Yellowstone Park. From a young age, I was captivated by the geology lectures that sparked a lifelong passion for education. I earned an undergraduate degree in Biology and worked in labs that studied both genetics and neonatal lung disease.

I studied medicine at the University of Washington, where I met my wife, a Washington native who shares my passion for medicine. Our family is happy to call the beautiful Pacific Northwest our home. Together, we have organized medical camps in several areas of Southeast Asia, focusing efforts on primary care and preventative care. My passion for family medicine was shaped by early advocacy for anti-smoking legislation that helped pave the way for new health care policy.

I feel that the care of patients is a balanced effort involving patient, providers, family, and community. It is the ability to effectively incorporate the voices of all these team members that truly improves care and outcomes. At the heart of primary care is a relationship where advocacy, collaboration and quality care establish the foundation for healthy lives.
