Dr. Kevin Xunan, Family Medicine

I chose medicine because I like helping people. I want my patients to live very long, happy lives.

As a family medicine physician I focus on patient health. I try to get my patients to be as healthy as they can be and I love working with them on that process.

As a doctor of osteopathic medicine, I try to also focus on the whole body. I look at the patient’s entire health profile including their stress and mental health because all of this is part of your health — body, mind and soul.

I treat patients of all ages and my feeling is that if I can help my patient achieve their best health, then maybe I will see their children and grandchildren someday, too.

I try to treat my patients as if they were a friend. I work together with them, rather than being rigid and giving orders. Everyone comes from a different a background; so I like to work with them to come up with a strategy for their care.

I am a doctor who listens to my patients and cares about them. Also, I am always learning, reading and keeping my skills up. A good day, for me, is when my patients are smiling as they leave my office, feeling we’ve accomplished our goals or understand what the next steps for their care will be.

When I am not working, I love to cook and I’m an advocate for healthy eating. I have many tricks and ideas on that to share with my patients so that they can make food that is healthy, delicious and affordable.
