Dr Affleck is a graduate of the UC Berkeley, and the Medical College of Va. While completing a Family Practice Residency in Colorado, he became affiliated with the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and supervised drug testing crews around the nation for the USOC and NCAA for over a decade. His favorite tour of duty was working the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. During his Sports Medicine Fellowship with a Univ of Washington affiliated clinic, he worked with high school, college, and professional athletes including the Seattle Mariners, the Rainer Cup hydroplane racers, and the PRCA rodeo cowboys. 

Currently, Dr Affleck serves as Team Physician for the Santa Rosa Junior College, clinical Concussion Advisor for SR City Schools District, and Medical Director for several high-profile athletic events including the Ironman Vineman Triathlon and Levi’s GranFondo, as well as community events like the Windsor Green Half Marathon, the Human Race, and Girls on the Run.

Dr Affleck is board certified in Family Practice and fellowship-trained in Sports Medicine. He is the founder and board president of North Coast Concussion Management, a non-profit community benefit organization bringing concussion care expertise and education to Sonoma County student athletes, coaches, and families. At SRSM, Dr Affleck specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of athletic injuries with special focus on biomechanics, non-operative orthopedics, and concussion care. 

  Dione is a third generation UC Berkeley graduate which she followed with a Masters in Physical Therapy from Stanford. She worked as a physical therapist for ten years at San Francisco’s prestigious St. Francis Hospital Sports Medicine Center and at orthopedic physical therapy clinics in Colorado and Virginia. At SRSM, she serves as our liaison to the local community. She volunteers as a youth sports coach and is proudest of the co-ed volleyball team that brought boys volleyball to Sonoma County. In addition, she and her two children have raised puppies for Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) and currently they have their second CCI male breeder Duran who may greet you at the SRSM clinic door!

  An east coast native, Kristin moved to Sonoma County in 2019 with her family and promptly had to evacuate due to the Kincade Fire! (Welcome to the new Sonoma County life). Kristin has a master’s degree in business and after working in the corporate world for over twenty years she took time off to raise her two kids who are now teenagers. Kristin met her husband, David, while training for her eighteenth marathon – which they ran together on their honeymoon in Stockholm, Sweden. Along with running, Kristin enjoys traveling, hiking, snowshoeing, riding on her Peloton bike, and wrangling her family’s five cats.  

  Cookie is also an east coast native, born and raised in Pennsylvania. She bravely moved to Santa Rosa during the early days of the pandemic and now lives in a wonderful new home with her daughter Tracy (an ultra runner) and son-in-law, Quinn (an accomplished home wine maker). To meet people in her new community, Cookie has taken up Pickleball and Bocce ball and is quite the athlete! Though she is finding her transition to Santa Rosa to be exciting and adventurous, she will never forget her east coast football team, the Steelers. So many memories of tailgating, waiting for the team to sign autographs, and enjoying time with family and friends. Go Steelers! 

  Cristi is originally from the picturesque Michoacan, Mexico. She's the proud mother of three wonderful boys and her weekends are a whirlwind of soccer practices and games as she passionately supports her twin sons' soccer dreams. Back in her high school days, she was a keen cross country runner.  

For the past six years, Cristi has poured her heart into the medical field, where she's discovered her true calling – helping patients access the care they deserve. Beyond her professional life, Cristi finds joy in baking, retail therapy, getting lost in books, and enjoying timeless classics on movie nights.

Raised by a family in Colorado, Duran joined Dr. Affleck's household in 2018. Duran is no ordinary dog - he is a breeder for Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) and has sired over 100 puppies who now assist people across the US. 

During his CCI training Duran was selected to be a breeder rather than a working dog due to his top 5% skill and temperament scores. 

Beyond his breeding duties, Duran also plays a unique role at the clinic. His assistance training allows him to create a calming and motivating environment for patients, making every visit a positive experience. Duran is known for his friendly and loving nature, bringing smiles to everyone he meets.
