Sumer is here.  Can you believe the 30 days of no measurable rain in Seattle?  It sure made everyone's allergies worse.  Remember to take your Zyrtec, but come in if your allergies are not controlled despite Zyrtec, or if you feel anything else such as sinuses flaring up. 

Summer is a great time to catch up on your health as well.  Go cycling, hiking, and enjoy yourself!  Get some fresh summer produce at the market.  When you get bored with that, you can always come in for your annual check-up and physical.

A big welcome to Dr. Johnson and his team, Regina and Jeanine.   Both Regina and Jeanine were with Dr. Johnson in his Tukwila practice, so they will work as a cohesive team as before, just in a different location. 

As a Doctor of Osteopathy, Dr. Johnson will continue his practice of manipulative medicine as well as family medicine.  We will gain his vast experience in medicine and osteopathic skills.  He and his staff will gain support of a larger office, with cross coverage for both clinical and office functions.  Together, we will both prosper.

As we officially move into a recession, many companies are cutting their health benefits.  Worse yet, some are cutting actual jobs.  However, health experts warn that one should not neglect health during these tough economic times.  If possible, keep tail coverage with COBRA.  Also, new economic realities may bring new opportunities for various programs, especially children.  Thank god for the recent signing of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).  See covertheuninsured.org for great tips.

At Home Towne Family Medicine, we will continue to do our part in keeping you healthy.  Will will track health indices, performs screenings, and treat chronic conditions so that your health is optimized.  Together, we will do more than survive.

A New Year:  Christmas and New Year has come and gone.  I hope you all have had a good holiday season.  Luckily, everything is getting back to normal after the snow and rain storms.

It's time to look at your New Year resolutions and see how we can help you achieve your health goals.

Holiday/Snow Hours: Christmas is coming, and Santa is trying to make it all white for the Pacific Northwest.  During this winter storm and through 12/31, we will be open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or until the last patient is seen.  We will also be open until the last patient is seen on Christmas Eve.  We will be closed Christmas Day and New Years Day.  Enjoy the snow!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to all.  It's been 4 months since we have started.  Many more patients have found our new clinic.  The response to the new environment has been positive, and a lot of people found the evening hours really convenient for those who work.  A big thank you to all the staff for making the clinic a big success. especially through the last few days of winter wonderland.

Here we are, almost one month from our grand opening.  Many patients have found us, even with the confusion of the wrong phone number in the letter.  Stay well, but come in when you need us !

We had a great Grand Opening.  Many of our friends, family, and patients showed up to wish us well.  A big thank you to all our friends who made this opening day a special success.  We even got flowers!  Everyone loved the decor, the cucumber water, and the entertainment.  If you haven't done so, why don't you come on in and just visit?

Dr. Karl Johnson, D.O. and his patients have settled into our new clinic.  They enjoy the fresh new look, friendly atmosphere, and cozy surroundings. 

Dr. Johnson and Dr. Choi are also enjoying a great collegial relationship.  Dr. Choi likes to work in metabolic medicine and psychiatry, whereas Dr. Johnson is expert in musculoskeletal medicine.  Hallway consults are common.  Their patients also often visit the other doctor to get the best of both worlds.  

HITECH Ready

Our clinic is ready for the HITECH Act.  We are already using an Electronic Health Record (Amazing Charts) and electronic prescribing (DrFirst Rcopia).  We use and share health information from Highline Medical Center.  We hope to help bring more clinics in our community to the same functionality by 2011.
