About Margaret J. Black
Before she went to medical school, Dr. Margaret Black worked as a doula; this exciting work sparked a passion for caring for patients during life’s big moments. Board-certified in family medicine with a concentration in obstetrics, Dr. Black welcomes patients of all ages and genders. "I especially enjoy pregnancy care, women's health, and pediatrics, including adolescent medicine," Dr. Black says. As a Suboxone (buprenorphine) prescriber, she also extends her skill and compassion to patients working through addiction and substance abuse.
In her practice today, Dr. Black's empathy informs her philosophy of care. She explains, "I love hearing about my patients' lives and backgrounds, and exploring how that influences how they experience living in their bodies, and what that means for their health goals." Dr. Black hopes to empower patients through active listening; she also aims to ensure they feel safe and free of judgment.
Dr. Black earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Vassar College and completed her medical degree at Tulane University. She continued to the University of New Mexico for her residency training.
While growing up, Dr. Black’s family made many international moves, so she feels like a citizen of the world. "I'm happy to be putting down some solid roots in Portland," she says.

Dr Black is the best doctor I've ever seen. She is kind, supportive, truly authentic, and knowledgeable. I trust her completely. She is honest about what she can and can't speak to. She's never dismissive and doesn't ever give the feeling of seeing herself as superior to the patient, unlike so many doctors. She is truly a stand out! In this appointment I made a list and I knew it was aspirational because there wouldn't be time to get to all of it. She got to every single item, including a letter I needed and a form that had to go to a different doctor office. There were several other points as well. It was incredible. She has so many people in her care, but she still manages to make me feel like I matter. Whatever you are paying her, you should double it. There are people in every organization that make a difference and set a place apart from others; she is one! Seriously, pay her more! She gives so much and deserves all you can give her!
