Mark Bates, MD - The Portland Clinic

Description

Mark Bates, M.D., has always been interested in the diverse aspects of the full spectrum of medical care, from preventive medicine to complex diagnoses such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and kidney disease. That’s part of the reason why he decided to pursue both internal medicine and nephrology. But the larger reason is that he enjoys the relationships with his patients. It takes time and mutual respect to come up with a treatment plan together, and it’s through this collaborative effort that the best health outcomes are achieved. Dr. Bates believes in companionate, evidence-based medicine, and values the privilege to improve the quality of each of his patients’ lives. 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.
