Despite their best efforts, UW Medicine has not yet been able to reach fair and sustainable agreements with Aetna that ensure continued access to care and are in the best interests of patients. Effective June 1, 2025, UW Medicine’s contracts with Aetna for Medicare Advantage and Commercial services have expired and we are now out of network with Aetna. Learn more about what this means for you and what you should do next.
Tess Lang, MD, enjoys caring for patients of all ages and backgrounds. Her goal is to empower people to make informed decisions on their own health that are aligned with their values. Her interests in medicine include preventive lifestyle medicine, supporting new parents and their children, nutrition, and women’s health.
Dr. Lang has a degree in neurobiology from University of Washington and a medical degree from University of California, San Francisco. She completed her family medicine residency here at Valley Medical Center and worked at Kaiser as a full spectrum family physician with obstetrics before relocating to the Eastside.
