Chad Pfefer, MD

My wife and I have been using Dr. Pfefer for over 10+ years, and we couldn’t be happier. He listens! And he is not afraid to send you to the best specialist to isolate any problem that you may have. And if you don’t understand a possible treatment or an option on a course of action, he will take his time explaining everything, in simple language (that even I can understand!)
I think that the best thing about Dr Pfefer is his fantastic knowledge. He is a brilliant Internist. If you bring a problem to him he ALWAYS can find a solution. He knows something about it, and he knows about the latest cures/​options/​specialists.
He is up on «cutting edge» cures; he even has first hand experience with gene therapy.
I went in with a problem, and was sent in for some diagnostic tests. The radiologist that did tests on my brain stated that I had a blood vessel that was going to burst; an aneurysm. Dr Pfefer said that we needed a second opinion, and he sent me to OHSU. They did a different view, with a better piece of equipment, and said that I was «OK».
My wife was having problems with her shoulder, elbow, and hand. Various specialists found problems, but could not isolate the root cause. Dr Pfefer guided her thru each test/​specialist until he was satisfied that the ultimate solution could be found.
Oh, and one more thing: the staff is awsome! Great sense of humor, and always willing to do all that they can to help.
One complaint, though; there is never any waiting, so I don’t get enough time to read the magazines in the office!

We would give Dr. Pfefer 10 stars if we could, he is simply that good! He reminds us of the «old-​fashioned «GP» that really connects and cares about his patients. in addition to his vast knowledge, he is very compassionate. We have been patients of his for over 10 years. We are so very grateful to have found such a physician as Dr. Pfefer. We have recommended him to several people and they have the same response to his excellent care he takes with his patients.
