As WhidbeyHealth’s Chief of Staff-elect, Douglas Langrock, MD, has practiced for more than 25 years at our family medicine clinic in Oak Harbor on Cabot Drive. He has held many leadership roles at the hospital, including two terms as Chief of Staff, where he acted as a liaison between physicians, administration and nursing.

He enjoys the challenge of evaluating complex medical problems and integrating the information to treat the whole person. Dr. Langrock joined our medical staff in 1990.
