About Michelle Rappaport
Michelle Rappaport, MD is board certified in obesity medicine and internal medicine. She trained at the University of Washington, completing a residency in internal medicine with a focus on primary care. She then practiced primary care in Seattle, where she made strong connections with her patients, hearing their stories of their best efforts at lifestyle change being insufficient when it came to obesity and related diseases like diabetes. Through treating her patients, and learning more about obesity medicine formally, she saw how effective the comprehensive medical treatment of obesity can be. She became board certified in obesity medicine and took referrals from her colleagues in primary care, devoting a significant amount of her clinical practice to treating the disease. Her patients’ success with obesity treatment became her clinical passion. She joined Swedish Weight Loss Services in February, 2022 to devote her entire practice to obesity medicine. She works to ensure patients know she is an ally to help them navigate a chronic, complex, and unfairly stigmatized disease. She is determined to find her patients effective, sustainable treatment plans. Her patients’ health improving when they have evidence-based treatment is Dr Rappaport’s ultimate inspiration.

I love meeting with my physician. She is always kind and patient. I never feel rushed or ignored and she is very knowledgeable about my journey. She allows me the time I need to make decisions on the direction I would like to go with my care.

Always answers question in a way I am able to understand

I could've used a little bit more time with Dr. Rappaport and I wish she had also remembered the question I had. Other than that she is awesome. Getting the medication I need is very difficult through Insurance and she works really hard to help and make this happen.
Swedish Patient
Dr. Rappaport is very knowledgeable about obesity medicine. She takes time to answer my questions. I have had a lot of health and medical things to juggle the last year and she has been patient with me and kind.
