About Alex D. Schafir
Alex Schafir, MD, has a patient-centered philosophy. "I help people define their own health issues and choose therapies that feel right to them," he says. "In primary care, the focus is prevention. I implement effective treatments early, and I protect people from unnecessary medical care."
Board certified in internal medicine, Dr. Schafir graduated from the UCLA School of Medicine and completed his residency at the University of Washington. He is dedicated to medical education.
He and his wife have traveled all over the world, though travel is more challenging nowadays, thanks to their children. Outside of work, you might find him sea kayaking with his wife, seeking out live jazz, traveling to far places, or unicycling with his two kids.

He listens and responds directly addressing my questions or concerns...no evasion. His diagnostic skills are excellent.

I felt heard and supported. I was asked follow-up questions and felt my provider was trying to solve the issues I brought forward.
Providence Patient
Dr, Shafir was great, he took his time, was knowledgeable about my health, I was not rushed, he explained things in understandable terms, he asked if he had addressed all of my concerns, he configured a referral such that I got into a specialist quickly...he was excellent!
