Dr. Anne LipkeMD

Anne Lipke grew up in Puerto Rico and Florida before heading to Virginia for medical school. She earned her degree from the Medical College of Virginia, where the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society inducted her during her junior year. Her early plan to pursue neurosurgery gave way to internal medicine, driven by her love of solving complex problems and building lasting relationships with patients.

Dr. Lipke relocated to the Pacific Northwest to train in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Washington. She then joined Swedish Medical Center, practicing across all its campuses. She built and led the Pulmonary and Critical Care division at the Issaquah campus from its inception in 2011. Seattle-area peers and publications have repeatedly named her a Top Doctor. Outside the clinic, Dr. Lipke is a devoted mother, an arts enthusiast, and an adventurous traveler. She is also working on becoming a better fly-fishing companion to her husband.
