Dr. PAUL DESPRES

Dr. Paul is a compassionate physician who completed his medical school requirements and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2008. To complement his conventional, medical undergraduate education, Dr. Paul enrolled at Bastyr University to study the root cause of disease, how to prevent disease, how to use natural remedies, and how to use his hands to heal. In 2016, Dr. Paul graduated from Bastyr University with a solid foundation in basic sciences and clinical experience to begin giving back to his local community.

Dr. Paul started out with CIW as a locum tenens learning many of our specialty therapies, such as Avazzia, and quickly became a permanent part of our physician staff. His clinical areas of interest lie in chronic disease, pain management, digestive disorders, anxiety management, and auto-immune conditions. In his current practice, he often uses biofeedback, herbal medicine, massage, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, clinical nutrition, detoxification protocols, constitutional hydrotherapy, and orthomolecular medicine.

He lives in Wallingford and spends time working part time at another clinic and volunteering as the Executive Director of Integrative Care Outreach, a non-profit that provides 100% free, low-barrier care to those experiencing homelessness and/or extreme poverty in King County. In his free time, he enjoys exploring the PNW's trails, playing music, and fermenting veggies.
