Kirsten Silvey, M.D. - The Portland Clinic

Description

As a geriatrician, Kirsten Silvey, M.D., works with patients and their families to address the common hurdles of aging, including complex medical illness, medication side effects, chronic pain, urinary incontinence, emotional concerns, cognitive issues, frailty and falls. She sees the relationship as a partnership in which she serves as an educator, advisor and facilitator. As part of this partnership, patients and their families provide key information for decision-making by tracking medication use, dietary intake, and other metrics such as blood pressure or glucose levels. When we work harmoniously, we can figure out the best treatments to support the patient’s health, independence and overall quality of life. Established in 1921, The Portland Clinic is Oregon’s oldest, private, multi-specialty medical group. Today, with sophisticated medical technology, modern spacious facilities and dynamic medical specialists, a personal approach to each patient’s good health remains The Portland Clinic’s primary focus. The Portland Clinic’s five locations serve the greater Portland metropolitan area and care for more than 90, 000 patients each year throughout the Northwest.
