Colin Goggin, MD

My medical training started at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. I then did a family medicine residency at Saint Joseph Hospital in Denver, Colo. After working for nine years in North Carolina as a small-town doctor, I moved to Bellingham in 2012 and continued my practice as a primary care physician. In 2025, I joined Whatcom Family Medicine, drawn to their philosophy of compassionate care.

I believe in treating each patient like a member of my family.  My mission is to help my patients thrive while taking as few medications as possible. Food choices and exercise are the cornerstones to caring for the body and mind so I encourage healthy lifestyles. My medical special interests are nutrition, sports medicine, care of gut bacteria (the microbiome), gender affirming care, hypertension, metabolic health, and diabetes.  I also believe meditation and mindfulness are powerful ways to promote wellbeing.

When not in the clinic, you might find me running the trails in the Chuckanuts, spending time with my wife and kids, backpacking in the North Cascades, or meditating with my zen friends.
