About Care Medical Group

Care Medical Group, ExpressCare provides high-quality medical care to Bellingham, WA and surrounding Whatcom County residents and businesses. Founded in 1996, ExpressCare has expanded from urgent care and family medicine to include occupational medicine, physical therapy, sports medicine, massage and wellness.

Care Medical Group is privileged to be locally owned and operated, and employs a diverse group of medical and administrative professionals who collaborate as a team to bring you the care you need when you need it.

Care Medical Group is pleased to introduce its new owner, Dr. Richard Wei, to our community.

Dr. Wei received his Bachelor’s of Science degree from the University of Illinois. He received his M.D. at Finch University of Health Sciences/Chicago Medical School. Dr. Wei finished his residency at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he began to develop an interest in occupational medicine; as a result, he pursued fellowship training in Occupational Medicine at the University of Illinois.

Following the completion of his training, Dr. Wei moved to New Orleans and eventually became owner and CEO of Occupational Medicine Center of West Jefferson. Dr. Wei continued on to establish five physical therapy clinics and two occupational medicine clinics. In 2005, Dr. Wei was one of more than 15 million people devastated by Hurricane Katrina; his home and all of his physical therapy and occupational medicine clinics were destroyed. Dr. Wei was fortunate enough to be able to rebuild his programs through hard work and determination. After evaluating the affects of this life-changing ordeal, Dr. Wei decided to sell his businesses and relocate to an area that called for the level of expertise he could offer.

Dr. Wei is an expert in musculoskeletal medicine and occupational medicine, with extensive experience in urgent care medicine. He is a member of five professional medical societies, including the American College of Occupational Environmental Medicine, the American Academy of Urgent Care Medicine, and the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. As the medical director of 1,200 companies in New Orleans, Dr. Wei brings a comprehensive knowledge base and a wealth of professional experience to Care Medical Group’s expanding practice.

In his spare time, Dr. Wei enjoys golf, tennis, and sailing—and, of course, spending time with his family, including his wife, Suzet, and his sons, Grant and Alex. His attitude towards his move to Bellingham is, as Confucius put it, “Where you go, go with all your heart.” Dr. Wei is certainly an asset to Care Medical Group and we welcome him to Bellingham.
