About Kristen M. Gehring
Kristen has worked as a physician assistant specializing in endocrinology since 2006. Medicine has always interested her, she says. “Since childhood, I’ve loved the idea of helping others and making a difference in their lives.”
Listening deeply, communicating clearly, and making decisions collaboratively are three things she emphasizes in her work with patients. In addition to providing caring, competent, evidence-based medicine, she sees education as key to her role. “I enjoy partnering with patients to help them learn about their health conditions, and watching as they take ownership over them,” she says.
Kristin is a graduate of Linfield College. She completed her physician assistant education at Oregon Health & Science University.
A married mother of three, she spends most of her free time watching her kids’ sporting events and driving carpools. When she has time of her own, she likes reading historical fiction, gardening, traveling, hiking, paddleboarding, snowboarding, and being involved in her church.

Providence Patient
This office including the doctors, Kristen the PA, clerks, and nurses is exemplary. I've been a patient since Providence started Portland West Endocrinology. I can't imagine a better run office including the entire staff. I'm grateful for all they do for me!
