Dr. Stoppa is a first-year resident at Bastyr Center for Natural Health. 

"I’ve always wanted to help people achieve their health goals and initially (and for a good portion of my schooling) I thought that would be through exercise and physical medicine. However, I was undecided on the path I wanted to take to further my knowledge and after experiencing different facets of the health care system, I eventually took a leap of faith into the Naturopathic Medical School at Bastyr. I was hooked after the first quarter of school. I loved the scholastic rigor and naturopathic philosophy. I knew this was the way to practice and think about medicine."

When he is not practicing medicine, Dr. Stoppa is likely outside in the mountains or on the beach.
