SFM is a leader in delivering integrative health care in Oregon.  Our center has well trained medical and naturopathic providers.  Our medical providers receive intensive naturopathic care training, and our naturopathic physicians receive intensive primary care medical training. This center is owned and managed by Maggie Yu, MD, an established family practitioner who has been on the forefront of integrative medicine in Portland for years.  As the medical director, she works with Dr. Carrie Jones, our naturopathic medical director to oversee the training of providers and staff and ensure that quality integrative care is provided to all patients no matter which provider one sees.

Providers meet frequently and regularly to do continuing education, case reviews, and to collaborate together as a team to ensure patients receive quality integrated care,  care that brings the best in cutting edge primary care and the latest naturopathic care to patients.  This takes a lot of our time, and we also take plenty of time to educate our patients about all their options.  We feel that taking the time to educate our patients on all the options is the best path to wellness. Our commitment to this level of quality, the patient response, and our continued growth has been tremendous.  We have currently grown to have five medical providers and four naturopathic physicians.
