About me
Welcome! I’m Dr. Kristin Coleman-Woodson. I’m glad to have the opportunity to care for you and your family. I believe that getting to know you as a whole person, not just your symptoms or medical history, is an important part of providing thoughtful and meaningful care.
Biography
I grew up in the Inland Empire and am happy to care for members in the Southern California community I call home. I completed my family medicine residency at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, where I trained in a diverse, community-focused setting and developed a deep appreciation for caring for people from many different backgrounds and at every stage of life.
My training emphasized cultural competency and the importance of understanding the many factors outside of the doctor’s office that can affect a person’s health and well-being. It taught me to consider not only a member’s medical needs but also their individual experiences, culture, family, community, and circumstances when providing care.
I chose family medicine because I enjoy getting to know members and building relationships over time. Every person has a unique story, and I value learning what matters most to members and helping them navigate their health through the different seasons of life.
About my practice
My approach to medicine is simple: I strive to treat every member the way I would want myself or a member of my own family to be treated. I believe good medical care begins with listening and understanding the person behind the medical concern.
I want members to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing their concerns, and being honest about what is going on in their lives. I believe in partnering with members, helping them understand their health and their options, and working together to make decisions that fit their individual needs and goals.
My goal is for members to feel heard, respected, and supported and to know that I genuinely care about their health and well-being.
I am especially passionate about mental health, women’s health, and family planning. I also enjoy caring for children and adolescents, particularly supporting young people as they navigate the transition into adulthood.
How I thrive
Family and relationships are at the center of my life. I love spending time with my husband, son, extended family, and friends. I enjoy swimming, cooking, writing, and dabbling in podcasting. As an author, I also enjoy creativity and storytelling.
