Important Notice

After many fulfilling years of practicing medicine, I have decided to retire.

Consequently, my solo private practice will officially close its doors on December 31, 2026.

It has been an honor to serve as your physician and manage your medical care. Please rest assured that your continuing health remains my priority during this transition. I will ensure you receive necessary short-term maintenance prescription refills to bridge your care safely through the end of the year.

To ensure your care is uncompromised, I recommend that you begin searching for a new physician as soon as possible. If you need assistance finding a primary or specialized care provider, I suggest checking with your health insurance network directory, contacting local healthcare clinics, checking local hospitals’ doctor referral lines, or visiting the Washington State Medical Association (WSMA) doctor directory. Also, please see the attached resources page.

What happens to your medical records? Your medical charts are entirely confidential and protected by law. If you have an active Elation Patient Passport account, you can log in to view and download the health information available in your account. This includes demographics, your Clinical Profile, signed visit summaries, immunization history, and records that were manually shared with you through a Patient Letter, which includes most of your lab and imaging reports. If you need additional records, such as other lab reports, orders, or other chart documents, please contact our office by phone or in writing. I strongly recommend you do this before December 31, 2026, after which time my electronic medical records system will be offline. Please do not send any more Passport messages after that date.

If you go into your passport and open the Share my records → Download my records option, you will be able to retrieve a C-CDA file containing your health summary that can be imported directly into your new physician’s electronic medical records system. Please note: this file format is not readable by humans.

If you do not have Patient Passport access or have not received an invitation to join Passport, you should also contact our office to request your records. Please do so before December 31, 2026.

Your medical records before May, 2023 are in paper format. If you need copies of these records, or if you need any of your records after December 31, 2026, please send a request via email to Pattipitch@gmail.com. A $25 copying and shipping fee is required.

In accordance with Washington Medical Commission recommendations, adult charts will be retained for a minimum of 10 years from your last visit date, and minor records will be kept until the patient reaches age 21.

Thank you again for trusting me with your healthcare throughout the years. I wish you the very best of health and happiness in the future.

Sincerely,

Steven M. Hall, MD

Resources to help you with your health care team.

I don’t know of another physician who practices Integral Medicine as I have, but you can piece together the same services by using different practitioners.

For Functional medicine, I recommend looking at the resource list maintained by the Institute of Functional Medicine at https://www.ifm.org/find-a-practitioner. Functional medicine wants to treat you as a whole human being but, in my experience, the discipline is still heavily focused on micromanaging your metabolism. There is much power in this approach, especially for chronic illnesses, but it is light on helping you find and treat the real root causes, which generally have to do with how consciousness is creating your life.

To work on that level, I recommend either EMDR with a well-trained experienced therapist (I don’t have a favorite practitioner, please just search “EMDR practitioner”) or advanced Craniosacral Therapy. One of my favorite CST practitioners is Tricia Yost, PT or anyone she would recommend. https://www.libpt.com/. Also, the International Association of Healthcare Practitioners maintains a list of all the practitioners they have trained in CST and Visceral Manipulation. https://www.iahp.com/search. Anyone trained through the advanced levels ought to be able to help you work on deep causative levels of your health challenges.

For a Chinese Medicine approach, I recommend Sue Foss, EAMP, https://suefosseamp.com/ or anyone she would recommend.

For babies with tongue tie, airway, or feeding issues, I recommend Dr. Thomas at HealthLatch https://www.healthlatch.com/. He’s a rare creative genius who brings much to the table.

The Pacific Northwest is a hotbed of alternative medical resources. There are many experienced Naturopaths who can help you with lifestyle medicine, using natural treatments, bioidentical hormones and such. Again, I don’t have anyone specific to recommend. Ask your friends or check out the lists at the Washington Association of Naturopathic Physicians. https://www.wanp.org/find-a-doctor/.

If you are interested in working with a midwife for your birthing services, the Seattle Midwifery School merged with Bastyr University in 2009, so you can use their practitioner search tool to find a midwife you’d like to work with. https://bastyr.edu/practitioner. Working with a trained doula has also been shown to decrease the risk of pregnancy and labor. DoulaMatch Seattle Directory.

If you have hypermobility and have specific troublesome, painful joints, or if you have a hypermobile sacroiliac joint not helped by a sacral belt, check out what prolotherapy might have to offer you. I recommend Joanna Forwell, ND. https://www.vitaliahealth.com.

Again, thank you for including me on your healing path. You all have taught me so much that I have then been able to use to help others. Please take your healthcare practitioners with you on your healing path: share with them what you’ve experienced, learned, and what works for you. If they seem uninterested, keep searching for someone who is. Just my opinion.

With much gratitude.

Now Back to the Normal Web Page (Please feel free to continue to use any content of this website you find helpful.)

Welcome

When you are seeking help with a health issue, you deserve to be listened to. You deserve to have your situation carefully and thoughtfully considered and clearly explained to you. And you deserve to participate in any decisions regarding further evaluations and/or treatment.

If you feel that you have not been receiving this kind of care, I humbly invite you to give my practice a try. These are some of the intentions I hold for every visit.

I am in private practice, which means that I don’t have any corporate bean-counter telling me I have to limit our time to ten minutes or to only one problem at a time. My routine visits are for up to 30 minutes and 60-minute visits are available if you need them. I really want to hear what you are going through, what you think is going on, and what your goals are, whether that is dealing with a specific issue or healing your whole life. As a holistic doctor, I hope to help you with your whole list of issues because they are all happening to you at the same time and are likely interrelated and interdependent.

My interest is helping you find and treat the root causes of your issues.

I don’t specialize in any set of diseases or one organ system; I specialize in a way of listening and problem-solving that can be applied to all sorts of problems. I have broad-based conventional medical training in Family Practice which I have then augmented by studying many of the world’s healing traditions, integrating them into better ways to treat you as a whole human being. So, if you haven’t been finding good answers from other practitioners or you’re looking for good, common-sense care, please give me a try.

A Worldview that Supports Healing

The first step on any healing journey is believing that healing is always possible. (This belief helps me get up and ready for work every day.) If you don’t see the truth of this belief right away, that is alright. A deeper exploration of what is meant by healing usually helps.

I spent many years in my early career searching for a good definition of healing. Is it a perfectly functioning physical body? Is it mental and emotional stability? Is it a feeling of deep peace and contentment? After sifting through many concepts that were either too limiting, impossible to implement, or were actually descriptions of the result of healing, not a definition of it, I finally hit on the idea that healing is finding out who we really are, our true selves, then making life choices that fit us.

If we look to the world’s wisdom traditions to see what they have to say about our true selves, we hear things like “we are children of God”, or “We are Brahman, pure undifferentiated consciousness” or “we are pure awareness, and, more deeply, we are the infinite, indescribable, formless, timeless source of that primordial awareness and everything else in existence.”

These are tall orders! How many of us have experienced our true selves? We are also told that we are already our true selves. They don’t have to be created, only perceived, opened to. Every moment, every experience, can serve to deepen our understanding of ourselves, to open more to who we already are. To deepen and broaden our perceptivity. And that is why healing is always possible. Deep personal exploration is the healing path.  

A symptom is a clue that something in your system is out of balance and asking for your attention. If you use a treatment that quiets the symptom without resolving the imbalance, such a treatment may delay your healing and prolong your suffering. Many of the treatments used in our culture are such symptomatic treatments, so many people are seeing the wisdom of treating root causes.

And that is how I would like to work with you, if you agree. When you find and treat root causes the symptoms naturally resolve. Your own deep knowing is generally the aspect of you that detects the imbalance and sets off the alarms, creating the symptoms to get your attention. Learning how to hear and heed your own deep knowing is a very useful skill on the healing journey and one that I would like to help you master, if you haven’t already.

Every aspect of your life exerts some sort of influence upon your health. So, it just makes sense to have an approach to your healing that can take your whole life into account. By applying Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory to the practice of medicine and integrating useful concepts and treatments from around the world, I feel like I have developed a good example of just such a whole-life approach. And I would be honored to use it to help you with your healing, whatever that means to you.
