Who We Are
Hi! I'm Dr. Christine Chon, board-certified family physician turned Integrative and Functional Medicine specialist.
Meet Dr. Christine Chon
Dr. Christie Chon is a board-certified family medicine physician with advanced training in integrative and functional medicine. Through her clinical experience in urgent care, she observed a recurring pattern: patients frequently returned with the same illnesses or had never been introduced to preventive care. This illuminated a deeper issue within the healthcare system—one that often emphasizes symptom management over true healing.
As a primary care physician, Dr. Chon recognized the limitations of the traditional medical model in fully supporting her patients’ health. She often found herself prescribing medications to alleviate symptoms without the time or resources to investigate underlying causes—frequently tied to nutrition, lifestyle choices, or chronic stress.
Motivated by a commitment to provide more holistic and effective care, she pursued additional fellowship training in Integrative Medicine, studying under pioneers such as Dr. Andrew Weil, and further deepened her expertise through functional medicine. This journey led her to create a dedicated space for individuals seeking personalized, whole-person care.
As an integrative medicine specialist, Dr. Chon collaborates with patients’ existing primary care teams to design customized care plans that support physical, emotional, social, environmental, and spiritual well-being. Her mission is to help each individual chart a path toward optimal health and a more vibrant life.
Dr. Chon lives in Seattle with her husband and their three adventurous daughters. When she's not caring for patients, you’ll often find her hitting the trails for a run, diving into a lap pool, or packing up the car for a family camping trip. Whether it's exploring the Pacific Northwest or enjoying quiet moments in nature, she thrives on staying active and making lasting memories with her family.
