Our Story

Dr. Nilsen is a Washington native and graduated from Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences in Yakima.

After completing Family Medicine training in Texas, he decided to return to the Palm Springs of Washington to serve the community of the Yakima Valley.

We have witnessed many patients being ill-served in the current model of primary care, enduring fragmented continuity, rushed appointments, and long wait times delaying important medical care.

We understand first hand that compassionate care matters, and we have devoted our lives to providing care to our patients like family.
