Meet your doctor
Harborview Family Medicine was founded on a simple idea: patients deserve enough time to be heard.
Dr. Elena Vance, MD
Dr. Vance grew up in Portland and returned after residency to build the kind of clinic she wished existed for her own family: small enough to know your name, well run enough to get you in the same week, and careful enough that nothing about your health gets lost.
She practices general family medicine for adults and kids, with particular interest in prevention, chronic condition management, and women's health.
