Linda Hungerford, MD, feels that active, careful listening is the key to good primary care. "Patients want to know they have been heard," she says. "I believe a physician who knows her patients well provides the best care. Continuity is the true basis of primary care."
Linda earned her medical degree at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. She completed both her residency and internship at Providence Portland Medical Center. She is board certified in internal medicine.
An Oregon native, Dr. Hungerford speaks German and a little Nepali - the result of six months of missionary work in Nepal. She and her husband continue to support medical and mission work in developing countries. They have five children.

Excellent care from Dr. HungerfordProvidence Patient
I always plan extra time for appointments. she tends to run behind because she gives each patient the time they need to get the best care. I rather have her two hours behind and make sure I get the best care than be on time and ignore the patients needs. I specifically pay more to stay with insurance that covers Dr hungerford than get the cheaper insurance without her. [...]Providence Patient

Dr. Hungerford treats me as a friend and not just as a patient. The young man who took down my "stats" prior to the time with Dr. Hungerford was relatively new.

When I saw my provider last she took a complete look at my swollen leg and sent me to have a sonogram immediately. She was checking for a blood clot which I had. I was very surprised and happy that she had sent me to have the sonogram immediately as I had no idea it was there and don't know how long it would have taken for me to realize something was wrong and needed attention.Providence Patient
