Tomasz M Ziedalski, MD - Western Washington Medical Group

Fred Meyer is one of the pioneers of one-stop shopping. They combine a complete grocery supermarket with a drugstore, clothing store, shoe store, fine jewelers, home decor store, home improvement center, garden center, electronics store, toy store, sporting goods store, and more under one roof.

I enjoy the breadth and complexity of both pulmonary and sleep medicine. I am particularly interested in airways disease such as COPD and asthma, as well as sleep disorder breathing. Growing up I was drawn to medicine by the example of my aunt, a nurse practitioner. She opened doors for me to shadow infectious disease doctors, and I was hooked by the combination of interpersonal relationships in a challenging field aimed at improving people's lives.

I have a long history in medicine. I was a nurse for 13 years before returning to school to become a registered nurse practitioner. Preventative medicine means more times doing the things you enjoy, and less time managing a long list of prescriptions or office visits. My goal is to get you out of the doctor's office and back to the activities you love by treating the root cause of your health condition rather than just the symptoms. Being able to have a meaningful, positive impact on a person's health is immensely satisfying to me.
