El Shaddai Tesfaye, MD
Washington
Doctor of Medicine, a common medical school degree for physicians. MDs at One Medical typically specialize in family medicine, internal medicine, geriatrics or pediatrics.
I enjoy practicing holistic care, with an emphasis on supporting the whole person — mind, body, and soul. I believe that health is more than just the absence of illness; it’s about feeling well, finding balance, and living intentionally. With experience in preventive health, integrative medicine, and geriatric care, I blend these insights with evidence-based practices to provide personalized and comprehensive support. I aim to create a warm, collaborative environment where individuals feel empowered to take control of their health journey and feel their best at every stage of life.
How I stay healthy and happy
To stay happy and healthy, I enjoy spending quality time with loved ones, exploring new neighborhoods on long walks, and visiting art museums. I also love cooking, working on DIY projects, and watching documentaries.
