Indhira De La Cruz Alcantara, MD

I moved to Seattle at 16 and proudly served in the U.S. Army for ten years. I chose to pursue medicine because I want to alleviate pain and suffering. I believe in the power of compassionate care to improve people's quality of life. My practice focuses on conditions of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract, including heartburn, reflux, swallowing issues, abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, rectal bleeding, and colorectal cancer screening.

My practice covers all areas of gastroenterology including heartburn and reflux, abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, bloating, and colorectal cancer screening. I was inspired to go into medicine by my passion for helping others and the importance of health in people's lives. Outside of work, you can find me hanging out with my two Italian Greyhounds, reading, or planning my next trip to explore the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

My focus in is on the conservative, non-surgical management of patients with Orthopedic conditions. I love working with people and making connections with my patients on a daily basis.
