"Mike Pipestone, MD, has been practicing medicine since 2010.  He started in Minnesota in a large family medicine practice, and trained in full-spectrum primary care.  He came to the Valley in 2015, and has practiced full-spectrum hospice and palliative medicine until Spring 2025.  He has come to the Calm Space to return to his first duty in medicine: helping provide the greatest good to the greatest number.  Over his years in practice, the toll of trauma, invalidation, and injustice on patients has affected and motivated him more than any biological disease, infection, or heritable illness.  Dr. Pipestone looks now to use Western biomedical sciences to complement, not undermine, the diverse healing paths community members may take to their own wellness.  Mike finds his home in art, sports, and puzzles, especially music, swimming, and board games.  He is supported by his wife and partner, and their fur family."
