For over 100 years, Shriners Children’s Portland has been providing world-class pediatric orthopedic care to children across the Pacific Northwest, regardless of ability to pay. At Shriners Children’s Portland, we know having a child with medical concerns affects the whole family. That’s why our approach to care is family-centered, providing resources and multiple specialists available to every child we care for.  

In addition to access to orthopedic surgeons, our comprehensive facilities include an in-house orthotic and prosthetic lab, cutting-edge rehabilitation services, a state-of-the-art movement analysis lab, and an advanced surgical center. We also have a robust sports medicine program with athletic trainers, physical therapists, surgeons and more dedicated to keeping student athletes safe and performing at their best. Utilizing cutting-edge technology with a highly skilled team allows us to deliver the best possible care.

We are thrilled to celebrate eleven of our beloved and distinguished practitioners, honored as Portland’s Top Docs for 2026.
