Dr. David Houghton

I am board certified in both adult internal medicine and in pediatrics. I finished my dual-specialty training in 2000 and have years of experience in primary care for adults and children, emergency medicine, critical care, and hospital medicine. My current focus is hospital medicine and urgent care. I have years of experience in telemedicine, providing direct patient care via video link. I spent 2 years practicing remote medicine in arctic Alaska, and have spent an additional 7 years serving the urban uninsured and Native Americans. I am an Air Force Reserve flight surgeon and a father of 4 grown children, and love outdoor activities like hiking and biking. My most passionate medical interests are education, tackling the obesity and prescription narcotic epidemics, and reducing wasteful, ineffective and excessively expensive health care.
