About Brian T. Little
Brian Little, DO, MPH, MA, FACOI, started volunteering with his community’s emergency medical squad at the age of 16. He then became an emergency medical technician and continued this work until he went to medical school. “I fell in love with internal medicine, as it incorporates not only primary care, but most subspecialties as well,” he says.
In his practice, Dr. Little emphasizes ongoing partnerships with individuals concerning their medical care and strongly believes in harm reduction, which is the practice of meeting an individual where they are at. “Additionally, providing appropriate information to empower the individual allows them to make the best reasonable choices to maintain, and ultimately, improve their health,” he says. Dr. Little believes his role as a provider is to serve with courtesy, empathy, and be a resource to the individual, as well as being a guide to improve overall health and wellness. He thoroughly enjoys making connections with his clients and assisting them with routine care, being there for difficult journeys, and using humor and laughter in the pursuit of helping them be their healthiest selves. “I also enjoy teaching individuals about their medical care so they may become informed to make educated and personalized decisions,” Dr. Little adds. He listens and hears with an empathetic ear and will work with his patients to achieve their health care objectives. He says “gentle nudging may be required at times.”
Dr. Little completed his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree, as well as his internship and residency training from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, School of Osteopathic Medicine. Throughout his career, Dr. Little has used his bachelor’s degree in psychology and background in treatment of opiate addiction with medication-assisted treatment (suboxone).
Although he was born in The Bronx, New York, Dr. Little grew up on the Jersey Shore. He moved to Portland in 2010 and immediately knew he had found his home. He considers himself a true foodie and loves cooking and eating any type of cuisine.
