I just moved to the Portland, Oregon area and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations of a doctors they really liked. I am not sure what exactly our insurance will end up covering, but I will need a family doctor, a GI, and a colorectal surgeon. Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide :)

I found my GI (I am 4 hrs south of you though) through my GP that I got by finding who my insurance would cover for me my closest colorectal surgeon I find my doing a search is in northern CA for me then again I am 1 hour from the CA border. May I suggest looking at the CCFA website for additioal finds if noone on here lives in that area or knows of anyone

Best luck

Dr. Collins at OHSU is really good. Its really hard to get in to see her but any of the doctors there are really good.

I had a Dr. in Memphis that I truly loved.  He moved to Nashville and I followed him there.  He is now in Portland and his name is Glenn Eisen, he is a Gastro. Dr.   Good luck.

Dr grunkmeier with the Barnes rd Oregon health clinic is awesome! He got my chrons on track after coming from another gi dr I was happy with. Chrons is his specialty and is very knowledgeable. I learned more from him in my first appt then my last dr ever told me. I believe having a good dr is key to staying healthy with this disease.

DR.Grunkmeir at Oregon clinic is awesome, DR Shumaker is also great there. A PA there called Isabella is the best! I'm a tough severe case and they are great!
