Drawn to family medicine by the example of his small-town general practitioner grandfather, Dr. Breuner still believes in a system where family physicians provide most of the care. He studied government at Harvard, medicine at UCSD, and family medicine at the University of Washington. A year caring for Afghan refugees in Pakistan and 8 years at the 45th St. Clinic focused his attention on the many barriers to care our patients face. He cares for low-income patients at Swedish's Downtown Family Medicine site;   current professional interests include procedure training, genetics in primary care, resident-faculty communication and directing Swedish Family Medicine's Obstetrics Fellowship. Outside interests include multi-sport and relay events and keeping up with his kids on a snowboard. He leads the faculty band, Plan B, and plays in a U2 cover band. As a recently divorced dad, he helps his kids with homework, healing and soccer.
