Providers
Every patient at Cedarwood is paired with one primary provider — the same provider, every visit. Here's who you might be seeing.
Family Medicine · Founder
Dr. Desai founded Cedarwood in 2011 after a decade in larger systems where she felt unable to spend real time with patients. She lives in NW Portland with her partner and two dogs, runs along the Willamette every morning, and is the practice's go-to provider for adult primary care and women's health.
Focus areas
Internal Medicine
Dr. Anderson joined Cedarwood in 2018 after completing residency at UW. He focuses on chronic disease management and preventive medicine, and is one of the rare internists who actually likes house-call follow-ups. Outside the clinic, he plays cello in a Portland chamber group.
Focus areas
Pediatrics
Dr. Kim leads pediatric care at Cedarwood. She trained in pediatrics at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and joined us in 2020. She's the parent of two herself, which patients say comes through in her thoughtful, unhurried approach to every well-child visit.
Focus areas
Our nurse practitioners and clinical staff handle same-day visits, vaccinations, and care coordination — keeping the practice running like clockwork.
