Shay completed his medical training at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in 2003 and his residency in Family Medicine at Providence Milwaukie Hospital in 2006 and has been a practicing Family Physician since then. Shay has additional training in integrative and holistic medicine; throughout his training and career, he has collaborated with practitioners of Acupuncture and Chinese medicine, Chiropractic, Naturopathy, and Osteopathic medicine.

Beyond his experience with pediatric and adult health, he has special interests in international and travel medicine, wilderness and sports medicine, and behavioral medicine and mental health; all travel vaccinations are available for administration during a travel medicine consultation – prices available upon request. As a Board Certified Family Physician, Shay is a specialist in common medical conditions and preventative health; he has developed a strong network of specialists to provide seamless, comprehensive healthcare for his pediatric and adult patients.

Inspired by old time family doctors who could be seen walking through the neighborhood en route to a house call, Shay strives to bring this closeness to Southeast Portland. A resident of the neighborhood himself, he believes that every neighborhood should have its own doctor who has time to spend with people and be a part of the community.

Shay’s practice is unique: in most places, people only see a doctor for a few minutes, but he believes in spending quality time with patients. His efficient, technology-forward, small-scale practice allows you to develop a true relationship with your personal physician.

In his free time he enjoys skiing, running, biking, making music on almost any instrument, and salsa dancing.
