A mission trip to Bangladesh as an anesthesiologist changed Dr. Kondo’s vision to become a full scope family physician in 2002. After receiving board certification in anesthesiology, his passion towards care of disadvantaged populations and international medicine led him to change his entire career, to leave Japan and join St. Peter Family Medicine as a resident. He also pursued training in medical acupuncture and herbal medicine after graduating from family medicine residency. Dr. Kondo’s broad experience has brought unique skills and aspects to the program. He believes collaboration of Western and Eastern Medicine can give comprehensive, holistic care and enhance resident training. His particular interests in family medicine includes various procedures, point of care ultrasound (POCUS), obstetrics, acupuncture, international medicine and health care disparities. He is fluent in Japanese, and he is happy to speak to his Japanese patients in their first language whenever he gets the opportunity. In his free time, he enjoys running, hiking, skiing, photography, traveling, fishing, watching sports, reading and most importantly, spending time with his wife and four girls.

Dr. Currie has been teaching medical students and residents since 1997. She has a bachelor’s degree in computer science and philosophy from the University of California, Berkeley. She worked in the field of Artificial Intelligence in the Bay Area and volunteered at the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic in San Francisco during the 1980s. Her experience of the AIDS/ HIV epidemic altered her career path into medicine. She attended Harvard Medical School where she became interested in reproductive endocrinology and did research in the endocrinology of pregnancy and fellowship work in OB care for underserved, inner-city adolescents. This was the beginning of her longstanding fascination with hormones which encompasses the lifespan from puberty to menopause. With expertise in hormones and familiarity with gynecologic reconstructive surgery, she began treating gender non-conforming and transgender patients in 2000, long before there was a national spotlight on transgender people. Dr. Currie has presented her work in the field of transgender medicine at national medical conferences. She has given seminars in transgender healthcare and provided expertise and education for many organizations including the Washington Attorney General’s office and the American Catholic Healthcare Association. Dr. Currie advocates for equitable delivery of safe, high quality healthcare. Her philosophy is always to try to meet the patient where they are and help safely care for them on their unique journey, while teaching the next generation of physicians.

Dr. Claire Horn, DPT has worked, studied and taught extensively in the field of Physical Therapy and Orthopedic Manual therapy in South Africa and the USA. After furthering her academic education and career in the USA, living and working in several states, almost falling in love with California and not being able to leave, Claire and her small family returned to South Africa in 2001. There, Claire developed Physiotherapy Services for the community of Franschhoek in South Africa (both in private practice and community health projects) and was involved in Post-Graduate education for physiotherapists in Southern Africa. This time was a gift for her to spend with family in South Africa. Her family experienced some intense heat, a few wild animals, enjoyed raising small children and the time on the beaches near to Cape Town.
Claire was drawn back to the USA, specifically to Olympia, WA to take up the position of developing, teaching and further implementing the musculoskeletal component of the SPFM residency program. Teaching MSK skills in both assessment, clinical diagnosis and differential diagnosis is a longstanding interest, and it is exciting and challenging to be able to apply her knowledge base as a Physical Therapist to teach medical residents. Her primary goal is to enable the emerging medical resident to have confidence in the area of musculoskeletal assessment and diagnosis to direct the appropriate care for the patient. The utilization of Orthopedic Manual Therapy, pain neuroscience education and exercise options to facilitate healing and return the patient to maximum possible physical health is the focus of her patient care management.
Claire and her husband Robert Mckay have brought their family to Olympia, WA to further the education of their 3 children, and themselves in the USA. They hope to explore and experience the great outdoors, wilderness areas and the sheer beauty of the PNW. It is an area of the world they have always wanted to experience. Claire says that the GREEN is overwhelming – possibly exaggerated after living in Sub-Sahara Africa for most of her life! She and her family are loving the seasons, the hiking, the lakes and the mountain biking trails. Snow and snow skiing have been quite the thrill and they look forward to more fun!

Between residency and starting practice, she volunteered for a year as the site director for a village health care training program in rural Uganda in the early days of the AIDS epidemic. It was a fascinating and rewarding time, as well as first-hand experience of the many layered systemic barriers to improving health in developing nations.
Dr. Johnson was in general pediatric practice for 6 years in Seattle before joining Providence St Peter Family Medicine residency program in 1994. As a pediatrician, she appreciates observing and contributing to the growth and maturation that occurs in the process of resident training.

Born in Zaragoza, Spain and immigrated to the USA as an infant, Mary grew up with Spanish Basque customs and language.

She also enjoys outdoor activities like gardening, kayaking, and walking chats with friends and family.
