About Tess E. M. Ish-Shalom
“I believe we can promote health best when we understand the whole person,” says Dr. Ish-Shalom. She chose family medicine as her specialty for that reason. In her practice, she focuses on educating and empowering patients to improve their health and well-being. “It’s an honor to provide care for several generations of the same family,” she says. She particularly enjoys women’s health, newborn care and elder care.
As a doctor of osteopathic medicine, Dr. Ish-Shalom also practices osteopathic manual medicine to address musculoskeletal issues and headaches. In addition to seeing patients of all ages, she adds, “My office will always be a safe space for members of the queer community and patients of diverse sizes.”
A graduate of the University of California, Santa Cruz, Dr. Ish-Shalom attended medical school at the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific - Northwest in Lebanon, Ore. She completed her internship and residency with Central Washington Family Medicine, and is board certified in family medicine.
When away from work, she says, “Time with my family and in nature is what nourishes my heart.” She loves playing and reading with her children, cooking as “a decent sous chef” with her husband, and catching up with old friends on weekends. She also seeks out yoga classes that challenge her body and focus her mind.

Please thank Dr Ish-Shalom for me for her kind, professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate care. She did a thorough exam of the areas of my acute pain, and referred me to have an MRI and consultation with my neurosurgeon right away. She was an exceptional, articulate, accurate, and clear communicator. I give Dr Ish-Shalom very high marks!

I truly believe that Dr. Shalom saved my life. If I hadn't met her, I might have remained in bed without hope, simply waiting for life to pass. Dr. Shalom is not only incredibly knowledgeable - like a scientist deeply committed to understanding the human body - but also has the empathy and warmth of a therapist.When I was in unbearable pain that no one seemed to understand, she offered me not only comfort but real solutions. She continues to help me take one step forward at a time, and for the first time in a long while, I feel hopeful about the future.What amazes me the most is how thoroughly she understood my situation - it felt like she had studied all my records before even meeting me. She treats her patients with such sincerity and dedication that I sometimes worry she might not be getting the support she deserves from the system. She spends so much time and energy truly caring for her patients, and it shows in every interaction.If more doctors were like Dr. Shalom, people suffering from chronic illness and pain would have a real reason to believe that life is still worth fighting for. She gave me that belief - and for that, I'm deeply grateful.
