Bert Berney, MD, MHS

After many years in conventional medical practice, I started Oregon Direct Primary Care as a membership-based practice. I believe medical care should fit into your life, not disrupt it. This contemporary approach to the doctor-patient relationship is called Concierge Medicine. Long waits and impersonal visits are replaced with prompt visits and the doctor’s private phone number. The visits take as long as needed to address your concerns.

My desire is to provide exceptional, accessible healthcare through comprehensive physicals, emphasis on prevention, coordination of testing/referrals and closely monitoring your health in a timely, compassionate and professional environment. Although my training as a Board-Certified Internal Medicine Physician permits me to treat illnesses through traditional means, my network also includes professionals such as psychologists, acupuncturists, & physical therapists as well as using medical subspecialists when necessary who collaborate on treatment plans.

My goal is for Oregon Direct Primary Care to become your source for your health and medical needs. As your personal physician, I aim to be a trusted resource and advocate, fully prepared to help you navigate the increasingly complex healthcare delivery system. In the event of emergency or hospital care, you are closely monitored and care is discussed with the hospitalist(s) and/or specialist(s) involved.

Intentionally limiting the practice to a few hundred patients creates time to focus on medical care, especially preventive care. I am a Graduate of the George Washington University School of Medicine, and I also have a Masters in Environmental Health from the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health.

Because I believe in a balanced lifestyle, I take time in my off hours to enjoy visiting family, hiking, skiing and travelling.
