Dr. GEOFFREY BENDER

Dr. Bender is a licensed Naturopathic Physician and East Asian Medical Provider who provides primary care for adults and specializes in digestive disorders such as SIBO and IBS, mental health, LGBT health including PrEP for HIV prevention, and gender affirming care for gender diverse and trans individuals. He graduated from Bastyr University in 2014 with a doctorate in Naturopathic medicine, from the Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine in 2020 with a Masters in East Asian Medicine, and prior to that received his bachelor of arts in Cellular and Molecular Biology from Connecticut College in 2007. Dr. Bender focuses on being a patient listener, and values hearing his patient’s individual stories to better understand how to care for them. His scientific background coupled with the modern synergy of Naturopathic medicine, Chinese medicine, and conventional care helps him to create treatment plans that aren't cookie-cutter, and take into account a patient's unique circumstances, beliefs, and resources. In his free time, Dr. Bender enjoys playing tennis, cooking and baking, and loves sci-fi film and queer media.
