Michael Grodesky PhD, ARNP

In addition to primary care of adults, my background includes infectious diseases and HIV medicine. I have also worked extensively with individuals with chemical dependency in the setting of HIV-infection. My PhD is in the multidisciplinary field of health and behavioral sciences which combines elements of behavioral science, public health with medical anthropology.

For the past eleven years I have been in practice as a primary care provider in the UW Medicine General Internal Medicine Center in Seattle.
