Lindsey Youngquist, MD

I grew up in Juneau, Alaska, and later on San Juan Island, just across the bay. I studied ecology at Seattle University and attended medical school at the University of California, San Diego. I also spent a year in Nepal studying community health. I completed my family medicine residency at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, followed by a two-year fellowship in integrative and holistic medicine. For several years, I’ve worked as a primary care physician in multicultural and underserved community clinics in Seattle.

Being a physician is a calling for me, and I love what I do. This work allows me to weave together my awe at the human body, my dedication to service, and my commitment to health equity as a form of social justice. I am double board-certified in family medicine and integrative medicine. I strive to understand and treat the root causes of illness and to partner with my patients to achieve long-term health. My practice emphasizes nutrition, movement, lifestyle balance, and emotional well-being as important foundations of health. I have additional training in gender-affirming care, ear acupuncture, and addiction medicine.

I love that I can care for an entire family, and I enjoy caring for newborns, young children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. It is a great privilege to learn from my patients, offer guidance, and be touched by their resilience.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, baby, and friends, especially in the beautiful wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. I also enjoy painting, pottery, dancing, singing, and backpacking.
