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.

I was her 2nd appointment of the day, and she had to send her 1st patient to the hospital. I waited about an hour, but staff checked on me and I still got ample time with my provider. It was all handled the best it could have been. I appreciated getting the time I did in light of how far behind she was. She could have cut me short, but she didn't.

Providence Patient
Excellent care from Dr. Hungerford
5
Providence 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. [...]

I LOVE THIS PROVIDER, SHE REALLY CARES

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. I reminded him that he should take my height. It is good that I wasn't a new patient who didn't know what the procedures were for the wellness check up.

Providence Patient
This was not a good experience for me. I waited almost an hour before Dr. Hungerford saw me, which is not the norm. I also felt rushed during our brief 15 minute time together as there were several medical issues that came up.
