About Us

The Pearl Health Center was founded in 2004 as a pioneering medical clinic that brought together complementary and alternative medicine and blended it with the best of traditional western medicine to provide truly integrated medical care. Over the last decade there has been an emphasis on expanding the quality of care provided to our community while staying true to the holistic roots that the clinic is founded on. This is clearly evident in the recognition provided by the Oregon Health Authority acknowledging the commitment that the Pearl Health Center has to providing excellent primary care to its patients. The clinic was transitioned in February of 2017 to the leadership of two physician educators with more than 30 years of combined clinical experience. Their expertise will blend well with the Providers currently practicing at the clinic to provide a balanced approach to Primary Care. In addition to their clinical training, Dr. Parekh holds a Masters in Public Health and Dr. Birkhahn has a Masters in Clinical Epidemiology and Health Services Research. Both are uniquely prepared to provide the medical leadership to guide the clinic for the next decade.

Our Providers are licensed and Board Certified and credentialed with the majority of health care plans. Including CareOregon, United HealthCare, Providence Health Plan, Regence Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and many others.
