Dr. Gabrielle McGrew
During her tenure with the Visiting Nurse Association beginning in 1993, Dr. McGrew learned about a deeper kind of healthcare that involved more than seeing an endless line of anonymous patients in a hospital or clinic. Instead, she was able to form deep relationships with individual patients by meeting their families, sharing their meals and caring for their basic needs.
Her early experiences as a a healthcare provider have guided her belief that people come first. She does healthcare the right way by taking time to understand each patient’s history, current medical condition and goals, then creating personalized and collaborative recommendations.
Dr. McGrew’s insatiable appetite for knowledge drives her to spend many hours each week reading medical journals, attending conferences and completing continuing education courses. Her dedication to life-long learning ensures that the medical attention she provides is second-to-none, informed by the most innovative and powerful evidence-based treatment options available to the medical community.
Dr. McGrew has always valued good health and the beauty of nature, having grown up between the beach and the forest in Santa Cruz, California. When she visited the Pacific Northwest for the first time, it was love at first sight. She lives with her husband and three children in Portland, Oregon. When she’s not practicing medicine, her favorite activities include yoga, plant-based cooking, gardening, crafts, hiking, biking and snowboarding with her family and friends.
Dr. Gwen Casey-Ford
Dr. Casey-Ford grew up in Portland, Oregon and went into medicine because it allows her the privilege of getting to know and connect with all types of different people. After Dr. Casey-Ford graduated from medical school in 2009, her experience as a resident and a practicing physician confirmed for her that spending time with patients and forming collaborative trusting relationships with them was both the most meaningful part of her work and also the single most important thing she could do to help her patients to thrive. Dr. Casey-Ford spent over five years as an employed physician for a large organization and ultimately found that the insurance-driven health care system did not allow her to meet her patients’ needs.
Dr. Casey-Ford is thrilled to now be a part of a practice that supports her in providing the best possible care to her patients and in constantly becoming the best doctor that she can be. She enjoys being available to answer her patients’ questions and help them navigate the medical system when necessary. She continues to expand her medical knowledge and uses that knowledge to help her to meet her patients’ specific goals.
As a family practice physician, Dr. Casey-Ford enjoys caring for patients of all ages, including early pregnancy, post-partum, and newborn care. She lives in Portland with her husband and two children, and enjoys cooking, reading, yoga, and travel.
