Having opened its doors in 1996, MD2 Seattle is our original concierge medical practice. The office is located in the Swedish First Hill Medical Center Tower in downtown Seattle.

The practice is run by two of the most respected concierge medical physicians in the Pacific Northwest, Dr. Diana Perkinson and Dr. Derel Finch. They are recognized for their uncompromising commitment to personalized care - a standard after which all other MD2 offices are modeled. Both physicians are affiliated with Swedish Medical Center and the University of Washington Hospital and have long-standing ties with the Seattle medical community.

Dr. Anne Lipke, MD

MD²
Seattle

Dr. Anne Lipke’s journey from Puerto Rico and Florida to Virginia shaped her into the compassionate and inquisitive physician today. As the daughter of educators, her natural curiosity and love for puzzles have always driven her, leading her to the world of medicine. Though she initially planned to specialize in neurosurgery, her deep passion for solving complex problems and fostering long-term patient relationships ultimately guided her to internal medicine.

Throughout her career, Dr. Lipke has earned accolades at every stage for her academic excellence, teaching, and clinical practice. From being inducted into the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society during her junior year at the Medical College of Virginia, to being repeatedly named a “Top Doctor” in the Seattle area, her dedication to her field shines brightly.

After relocating from Virginia to the Pacific Northwest to train in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Washington, Dr. Lipke joined Swedish Medical Center, where she made a lasting impact. While she practiced across all Swedish campuses, she spent significant time building and leading the Pulmonary and Critical Care division at the Issaquah campus since its inception in 2011. Known for her exceptional clinical skills and her collaborative approach, Dr. Lipke is a respected figure in the medical community.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Lipke is a devoted mother to her children and her beloved Great Dane. She’s also working on becoming a better fly-fishing companion to her husband in the years ahead. With a passion for the arts and a love for adventure, Dr. Lipke cherishes time spent exploring new experiences with her friends and family.

Dr. Derel Finch, MD

MD²
Seattle

Dr. Derel Finch is best known for his kindness, warmth, and clinical leadership. His appreciation for relationship-based care runs deep and guides his medical philosophy. It is this rare combination of heart and mind for which peers and patients have long celebrated him.

Dr. Finch received his Bachelor of Arts from the University of California at San Diego. He then earned his medical degree with Honors from the University of Washington School of Medicine, where he was elected to the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) Medical Honor Society in his junior year - a rare distinction. His residency in Internal Medicine was completed at Duke University Medical Center, after which he returned to the University of Washington for his Pulmonology and Critical Care fellowship.

For the first decade of his career, Dr. Finch was in private practice as an internist and pulmonologist, where he routinely received awards as one of Seattle’s top doctors. For the next 13 years, he practiced as an Intensivist covering medical, surgical, neurologic, cardiac, and tele-ICU units. A connecting thread through his career is that he has repeatedly been sought out to collaborate with peers on the most complex cases, earning him a reputation as a widely trusted and respected expert in the medical community.

In addition to his clinical experience, Dr. Finch has served in significant leadership roles. He led the Critical Care Department at Swedish, then assumed the role of Chief Medical Officer for the Swedish Cherry Hill Campus, where he was responsible for quality and patient safety at this cardiovascular and neuroscience specialty hospital. 

This previous  focus on complex care of the significantly ill has given Dr Finch a strong perspective on the importance of preventative care.  This desire to focus more upstream lead him to MD² in 2023.  In addition to treating illness, he now enjoys also focusing on wellness with his patients, leveraging sleep, exercise, and nutrition in order to maximize health. Outside of work, Dr Finch has been on the board of several non-profits, and enjoys spending time with his wife, three children, two dogs and three cats.  He is a wind sport enthusiast, and enjoys kitesurfing and wing foiling, and also participates in martial arts, hiking, cycling and rock climbing.

For Your Consideration

There is a purity to MD2 you will not find elsewhere. At the heart of it, you are 1 of just 50 families who retain the services of a personal physician who knows you as well as their own family. The annual retainer varies based on the family configuration, from individuals to couples and families with children. All fees are paid on a monthly basis, and there is no annual contract. To discuss specific pricing, please contact us. The MD2 fee ensures absolute, unlimited access to your physician, as well as their physician partner, and covers all care and services provided by the office.

Is there an annual contract for services?

We believe medical care should be based on a deeply meaningful relationship between a physician and a patient that ideally lasts a lifetime – not a contract. The only contract we use reflects our promise to you. It binds us to you, not the other way around. There is no obligation on your part. If for any reason you wish to depart MD2, you can cancel your services at any time without any financial commitment. Your doctor will graciously work with you to establish care with another physician of your choosing.

What services are included?

Simply put, every primary care service is included. There is no additional billing. To help you understand the term “primary care,” think of it as all the care and services required when you “go to your doctor.” But in this case, your doctor is a star internist who graduated at the top of their class and is regarded as the master diagnostician – an art that can be lost today, but never at MD2.

This includes such things as an extensive annual physical, unlimited visits, house and workplace calls, x-rays, routine lab tests and diagnostics indicated by your age, health, and conditioning status. These tests may include blood panels, cardiovascular screening, cancer evaluations, and whatever else your physician believes will promote your healthiest lifestyle. When you leave an MD2 office, you are never handed a bill for our services.

With unlimited time, your MD2 physician will go beyond the customary. They will guide you to appropriate consultants, specialists, and surgical services as needed and often accompany you to those appointments to ensure complete continuity of care. Your care is thorough and extensive yet always custom tailored.

Will my physician manage my care while I am traveling?

MD2 was explicitly designed to accommodate families who travel frequently and often live in a second residence for at least part of the year. Caring for highly mobile families is our specialty. Your physician will always remain your primary contact when you or your family travels; they will be your first call if you have a medical need and are prepared to care for you, regardless of your location. In addition, prepping for travel and planning your care while you are away will be a key element of your care. Should you fall ill or need medical attention while in another city with an MD2 office, your physician will coordinate care for you with their MD2 partner in that city. Lastly, as an MD2 patient, you are enrolled in a worldwide medical evacuation service, should you ever need it.

What if my physician goes on vacation?

We've set up each MD2 practice so that your physician or their partner will always be available to you. You will have direct access to both physicians’ private cell phones, which you can call anytime, day or night. If your physician is unavailable, you will have direct access to their MD2 partner physician. You will never have to go through a front desk, an obscure exchange service or even a nurse to get to your physician or their partner, even if they are on vacation.

What if I need to go to the hospital?

At MD2, you will never be left alone in your time of need. Shockingly, it has become customary today that physicians no longer follow patients during hospitalization. Instead, they leave their patients in the hands of hospitalists. At MD2 we believe this is unacceptable. MD2 physicians visit their patients while in the hospital and orchestrate care with medical specialists in any field. Should you require a hospital stay, your physician will be at your side as your advocate and quarterback.

Furthermore, if specific health services would be best provided at a medical center in another city, your MD2 physician will make all the arrangements for your stay and continue to be involved in overseeing your care.

Can my children join MD2?

As internists, we specialize in the care of adult patients, however, the age at which children transition out of pediatric care varies by individual. It’s a wonderful discussion to have with your MD2 physician. Please know that even when your child is under the care of their pediatrician, we welcome being involved and receiving questions. Multi-generational care is our specialty.

Find your physician and unlock 
the potential of expert care.

MD2 physicians have the time and autonomy to focus on building lifelong
relationships with patients. With just 50 families under their care at a time,
your physician be available whenever the need arises.
