-: Hi, I'm Kevin Beene, a family medicine
with obstetrics doctor.
While I was growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
I witnessed a lot
of health disparities and when I went to college
I was studying biomedical engineering and originally thought
that that was kind of the branch
of medicine and healthcare that was the best fit for me.
But ultimately, through volunteering at hospitals
and really having more direct patient care, did I realize
that actually being a medical provider was what
was most fulfilling for me.
So I am a true Wisconsinite and stayed in Madison
Wisconsin for my medical degree
after I finished my bachelor's and master's degrees.
From there, came to Seattle
for my residency training in family medicine
and have really enjoyed staying here in Seattle.
It's a wonderful place to practice medicine
and I've really enjoyed growing my practice here.
I see everyone
from newborn babies to pregnant people to older adults.
Also, as a obstetrics provider, I manage pregnancy
and prenatal care, so I can see people at the very start
of their pregnancy and for routine visits for prenatal care.
And then I also see them in the hospital delivering babies.
My hope is that when patients come to see me
they feel like I'm listening and that I'm hearing them
and that they have the autonomy to make decisions
about their own health and their own bodies
and that I can provide the information that they need
in order to make those informed decisions.
So when I'm not at work, I really enjoy being outside
whether that's going for runs or going
on the water and paddle boarding or going for hikes.
And Seattle's really a great place for all of those things.
It's got wonderful outdoors
so I've loved that part of my life here.
If you're looking for a provider who is really passionate
about medicine, really enjoys getting to know people
and also really wants to support you in whatever that means
for maintaining your health or improving your health
then I might be the right provider for you.
