Kinwell Medical Group, a new option for primary care in Washington, recently opened its newest location in Federal Way. Kinwell clinics help address the primary care crisis by improving access to high-quality primary care across the state, according to the company.

Serving as an exclusive in-network provider for people with their health coverage through Premera Blue Cross or LifeWise Health Plan of Washington, Kinwll offers a reduction in how long patients must wait to see a primary care clinician.

“At Kinwell, our mission is to provide accessible healthcare to all patients,” said Dr. Mia Wise, president of Kinwell Medical Group. “We take a holistic approach and consider nutrition, fitness, and behavioral health to ensure we are delivering personalized and high-quality care. We look forward to establishing a trusted relationship with the Federal Way community and are eager to connect patients with our knowledgeable physicians.”

According to the AMN/Merritt Hawkins’ 2022 Survey of Physician Appointment Wait Times, the average wait time for a new patient appointment in the United States is 26 days. The average wait time for a new patient appointment at Kinwell is less than 24 hours, according to the company.

Physicians at the new Federal Way location will focus on building meaningful, long-term connections with them to ensure that everyone who walks through the doors will receive high-quality care. The clinics have treatment suites designed for patient comfort, blending the latest in technology with thoughtful details that create a welcoming experience for guests.

Kinwell’s clinics provide primary care and behavioral health services, in-person and telehealth visits, online appointment scheduling and reduced wait times. Expanded primary care services treat everyday ailments as well as manage chronic conditions such as diabetes and depression. Kinwell patients have free access to the MyChart app, through which they can make appointments, manage billing, and contact their healthcare team.

Kinwell recently opened additional locations in Bellingham, Redmond, Olympia, Poulsbo, Yakima, Lynnwood, Seattle (on Denny Way, Westlake and in Ballard) and Mill Creek as part of an ongoing effort to serve communities throughout the state that need more primary care options.

Kinwell’s Federal Way clinic is located at 35105 Enchanted Pkwy S. Ste. G101. Patients can schedule a visit online at KinwellHealth.com, or by calling 833-411-KINW (5469).
