Background
Although trained as an allopathic or “Western medicine” doctor, Dr. Alison Kneisl strongly values different healing modalities and the practice of integrative medicine. Dr. Kneisl counsels patients about the various therapeutic options available and helps them to find a path to health that feels right. Dr. Kneisl also believes in the power of the healing relationship and thereby, she makes a concerted effort to spend time with her patients and truly listen and understand their concerns in an atmosphere of compassion and respect.
Dr. Kneisl enjoys seeing families and patients of all ages, and welcomes the full spectrum of health issues that confront people. She places a great deal of emphasis on patient education and preventive care.
Dr. Kneisl received her medical degree from UC San Francisco in 1997, and also received an MS from UC Berkeley School of Public Health. She completed her residency training in Seattle at Providence Hospital (now Swedish Hospital – Cherry Hill) and at the Seattle Indian Health Board. Dr. Kneisl then spent seven years working as the medical director for the Muckleshoot Tribe and also spent time working for Virginia Mason. For the last four years she has been self-employed, working in a clinic as an integrative care physician with other types of providers, including naturopaths, acupuncturists, midwives, behavioral health therapists, and a chiropractor.
In her leisure time, Dr. Kneisl loves traveling, hiking, reading, cooking, exploring spiritual pursuits, listening to music, and spending time with my family and friends.
