Dr. Cranney

Why I choose DPC

For years working in the medical field, I have always felt that I could do more to advocate for the patients under my care and for the profession that I love. About 8 years ago, I started to learn about the innovative approach called Direct Primary Care.I was struck by how simple a proposition it really is. Also I loved how this approach returns the relationship of patient and physician to a time where both were valued.

Dr. Dean Cranney, MD

I am a family medicine physician in Spokane, WA, where I founded Dr. Cranney Family Medicine to offer comprehensive care through a direct primary care model.

I am a proud alumnus of the U.S. Air Force and served as a flight surgeon in the Washington State Air National Guard, experiences that have shaped my approach to health and wellness in my practice.

I've been married to Camille since 1991, and together we've raised four wonderful children, now enjoying the delight of four grandchildren.

My passion for medicine was ignited by my grandfather, W.D. Cranney, a general practice physician whose commitment to patient care and community has been my guiding light.

I strongly advocate for the Direct Primary Care movement, believing it reconnects healthcare with its core values where the doctor-patient relationship is central, promoting a transparent, accessible, and deeply personal medical practice.
