PartnerMD is expanding its Seattle-area practice office just three months after its opening. Dr. Daniel Riegel has joined the membership-based medical practice, which is experiencing marked growth nationwide as the demand for concierge care continues to increase.

Riegel has practiced in the Seattle area for more than 27 years, is board-certified in family medicine and is a member of the American Board of Family Physicians. Before joining PartnerMD, he practiced at Evergreen Medical Group in Woodinville.

“PartnerMD provides a health care option for people looking for more access to their physician, a focus on prevention and truly personal primary care,” said Linda Nash, PartnerMD’s founder and chief executive. “Dr. Riegel’s commitment to helping patients maximize longevity while ensuring a high quality of life is a perfect fit for our practice.”

Riegel joins Dr. Harry Pepe III, who opened PartnerMD’s practice in June. Pepe also is a longtime Seattle-area physician who has practiced in the area for more than 20 years. Pepe also is board-certified in family medicine and is a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians.

“Our health care system is changing, and doctors aren’t able to spend the time needed with patients to focus on prevention, not just treating illnesses,” Riegel said. “PartnerMD’s patient-first model allows me to spend more time interacting with patients and thinking about their health goals, which is what they deserve.”

PartnerMD’s Seattle-area office is located at 19125 North Creek Parkway, Suite 204, in Bothell.
