About
Dr. Dean Cranney, MD is a board‑certified Family Medicine physician in Spokane, WA who founded Dr. Cranney Family Medicine to deliver comprehensive primary care through a Direct Primary Care (DPC) model. After completing his medical education at Ross University School of Medicine (Class of 2001) and a Family Medicine residency at Mercy Health System in Janesville, WI (2001‑2004), he served 22 years in the U.S. Air Force and in private practice, gaining extensive experience across the lifespan. He believes that health care works best when the physician‑patient relationship is unhurried, transparent, and focused on whole‑person wellness, and he embraces DPC as a way to return time and attention to each patient without copays or deductibles.
At Dr. Cranney Family Medicine, Dr. Cranney provides full‑spectrum family medicine services—including preventive care, chronic disease management, and minor procedures—while offering patients direct access via phone, text, and email. Fluent in English, Portuguese, and conversational Spanish, he strives to meet the cultural and linguistic needs of his community. The practice operates on a low monthly membership fee, allowing patients to receive unlimited visits and personalized care plans, reinforcing his commitment to building lasting health partnerships.
