Dr. Nima Afshar
Dr. Nima Afshar brings the perspective of both an internist and emergency physician to personal, forward-looking primary care.
That breadth of experience gives him a practical perspective on prevention, early intervention, and navigating complex medical decisions. He is particularly interested in innovations that can meaningfully improve lifelong health, combining clinical rigor with deeply personal attention. He earned his undergraduate degree at UCLA and his medical degree at the University of Michigan, followed by residency training at UCSF, Stanford, and the University of Michigan. Double-boarded in internal and emergency medicine, he spent 14 years on the faculty at UCSF as an emergency physician and internist and was inducted into its Academy of Medical Educators in recognition of his achievements in education. Outside the office, he enjoys basketball, tennis, skiing, and biking to work. He lives in San Francisco with his wife, two children, and dog.
Exceptional physicians. A different model of care.
Our physicians bring deep clinical expertise, rigorous training, and a shared commitment to knowing the people they care for. Our primary care physicians maintain deliberately small patient panels, giving them the time to build meaningful relationships, think ahead, and take personal responsibility for your health.
Supported by experienced care teams, specialist colleagues, and an extensive external specialist network, they combine deeply personal attention with the reach and resources of a broader, independent practice. Together, they help members navigate complex healthcare decisions and thoughtfully evaluate advances in medicine, with clinical judgment and patient safety at the forefront.
