About Lan Ban
Lan Ban, MD, enjoyed teaching after college, a first career that inspired him to become a physician. “As a teacher, I enjoyed talking with students, learning from them, and building relationships. Teaching taught me to celebrate small successes and problem-solve with creativity,” he recalls. In his medical practice today, he continues to use the same principles with his patients that he used with his students. “Being a medical provider allows me to interact with people and continuously learn and teach.”
Dr. Ban encourages patients to participate actively in their own care, emphasizing the importance of a care plan designed together. He also places high importance on patient autonomy and their role in shared medical decision-making. “I value each person as a whole regardless of their background, social standing, gender, race, age, or sexual orientation,” he says. “Anyone can become sick, and everyone who’s sick can benefit from some medical attention.”
Dr. Ban has an undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. After college, he spent a year with AmeriCorps tutoring students with learning disabilities and teaching algebra at an inner-city high school in Tennessee. He then pursued his medical degree at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and completed his internship and residency at Providence St. Vincent Hospital.
Born and raised in China, Dr. Ban came to the United States at age 16 and spent most of his time in Georgia and Tennessee. He enjoys hiking and soccer and is fluent in Mandarin.

Dr Ban is great!
Providence Patient
Easy to talk to, remembers previous visits, took my suggestion about the possible source of my problem, ordered an x-ray as a result, and that identified the problem.
Providence Patient
Dr. Ban listens to the patient. He is willing to work with the patient to find the most acceptable solution to a patient's condition. He is also forward-thinking and offers alternatives when a specific recommendation needs modification.He is highly concerned about his patients' health. As evidence, he highly recommended daily doses of Vitamin "D" long before COVID appeared. Residents of Western Oregon do not receive enough Vitamin "D" through natural sources.

Providence Patient
Always an exceptional visit. Best PCP I've ever had!
Providence Patient
Dr. Ban did a very good job of taking out stitches in my finger. I had not seen Dr. Ban prior to this visit. Scheduling with my regular PCP has been difficult and hence was seen by Dr. Ban, another MD in the practice. He did a very good job of filling in but the practice as a whole appears to have too many patients for the number of providers to see patients when patients need to be seen. This is a staffing issue and not related to care provided by the MD group.
Providence Patient
Dr Ban and staff are very competent welcoming positive and encourages communication. All questions are valid and addressed. Excellent!
Providence Patient
Dr. Ban is the very Best!

Providence Patient
I haven't changed my opinion that Dr. Ban is by far the best doctor I've had, ever. He's the kind of guy who should be a trainer for young docs or those who need a refresher course. He never veers from what's important to me, never rushes an appointment, and he has a deep knowledge in a wide range of topics, from anatomy to health and well-being to pharmaceutical drugs. No wonder his practice filled up so quickly!

Providence Patient
DR. LAN BAN IS A VERY COMMENDABLE, CARING DOCTOR WHO PATIENTLY LISTEN TO EVERYTHING I SAY OR COMPLAIN REGARDING MY SICKNESS. HE IS A VERY KIND ANGEL DOCTOR!
Providence Patient
In my opinion, the only career that Dr. Ban could be better suited for would be as an instructor, training upcoming physicians to be their best and how to cause their patients to feel that they're in good hands. That includes listening closely, never rushing the appointment, taking the time to ensure that the patient fully understands, and being sincerely caring about the individual. Best ever!
Providence Patient
I'm 66. Been to doctors for many many years. In this "for profit" model on American medicine, I have always felt Dr. Ban has been the exception. He listens, answers, advises and spend as much time as needed. He is a GEM and you should feel fortunate that he works at Providence!

Longest standing primary provider I've had in my adult life.

Getting a PT referral can be difficult.
Providence Patient
