Anna Tubman, MD, IBCLC

I am a wanderer at heart. Nonetheless, I have finally found my home here in the Pacific Northwest. I grew up in a tiny town of two hundred, daughter of the area’s only medical provider. Discovering that the practice of medicine was in my blood was a journey that took me over five continents. After majoring in religious studies at Reed College, I worked with the homeless population in Portland, and the Garifuna community on the north coast of Honduras. I attended the Medical School for International Health, a joint program with Columbia University based in the desert of southern Israel. I was overjoyed to return to the Portland area for my family medicine residency training.

I speak fluent Spanish, remedial Hebrew, and am fascinated with different food cultures and traditions. My husband is a chef who specializes in Mediterranean cuisine and local foraging. We are blessed with two boys and a girl, all three of whom were born during my medical training—I understand firsthand the balancing acts and tough choices that all parents straddle. In my free time or en route to work, I am an avid cyclist and food cart aficionado.

It is a true honor to be considered as your family physician.
