About Sylvia M. Peterson-Perry
Languages: conversational German and conversational Spanish
Dr. Peterson-Perry chose to become a doctor when she realized that her interests in health, social justice, and forming therapeutic relationships all intersected in medicine. “Family medicine was a clear fit for me,” she says. “I love caring for multiple generations of families, and for individuals throughout their lifespans, from newborns to 100-year-olds.” One of the most rewarding aspects of being a doctor, she says, is “empowering patients to achieve their health goals and celebrating their successes, big and small.”
While she enjoys all aspects of family medicine, some of her special interests include reproductive health and family planning, gynecology and obstetrics, LGBTQ health and gender-affirming care, addiction medicine, chronic disease management and chronic pain management. Whatever issues arise, she meets patients where they are and develops individualized care plans that consider the best available evidence, the risks and benefits of tests and treatments, and the important interplay of physical and mental health. In addition, she says, “I always emphasize shared decision-making. As the patient, you know your body and life best.”
Dr. Peterson-Perry is board certified in family medicine. After attending Stanford University, she earned her medical degree at Oregon Health and Science University and completed her internship and residency at Swedish First Hill Family Medicine in Seattle.
A Portland Native, she loves playing and watching soccer, and is a huge Thorns and Timbers fan. Her other interests include cross-country skiing, hiking, camping and backpacking in the Pacific Northwest with her spouse and their rescue dachshund-mix.

My primary Dr is always so booked that its difficult to set up a consistent repoire, however I'm very pleased w/ the Drs that I've seen and they know my condition when seeing me, so I don't have to go thru the back tracking, which takes time. My Primary is always booked for weeks so it's difficult to explain my health updates in the short time we have when I'm able to sch with her.
