Surgeon Katelyn Clark, MD, joined PeaceHealth Surgical Specialties at Northwest Specialty Clinics in 2023. She is skilled in the breadth of general surgery from gallbladder and hernia to complex anti-reflux and colorectal procedures, all with a minimally invasive approach. She earned her medical degree and completed her surgical residency at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. Patients commend Dr. Clark for her technical skill as well as her compassion. "I chose medicine to help people," she says. "I chose surgery because it gave me the opportunity to help many people in a very tangible way, while also helping them through their experience."

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends.
