Summary

• Hi everyone!
  
  My name is Claudia Dogan-Coles and I am a board certified Physician Assistant, practicing functional/integrated/root cause medicine in Portland, Oregon. I received both my Master’s Degree in Physician Assistant Studies and Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical Sciences, from Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. My first position after graduating was in Sports Medicine-Orthopedic Surgery, where I became proficient in orthopedic examination as well as joint injection, which has been incredibly helpful to me in the primary care setting. My vision since graduating has been to work in primary care, with the ultimate goal of helping as many people who want to optimize their mental, physical and overall wellbeing, do so. I'm convinced this is my purpose for being placed on this planet. And I'm just getting started, and will forever be working towards more!
  
  I always say patients ultimately will heal themselves. I am here to provide the information, tools, motivation, and encouragement to foster success and to help you become your healthiest and most optimized self.
  
  I moved to Oregon in 2014 and enjoys the countless outdoor activities Oregon has to offer. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, biking, cooking, yoga, horseback riding, pottery and salsa/Latin dancing. And staying true to my Wisconsin roots I also love the Green Bay Packers–go Pack go!

  Happy Health-ing!
