Dr. Matthew Van Auken, MD, Portland, OR

About Dr. Matthew Van Auken

My clinical and professional experience spans many settings: clinic/office-based family medicine, skilled nursing facilities, hospital settings, addiction medicine settings, and concierge medicine. It was my experience in each of those settings that led me to founding The Buddha's Medicine, based on how I would want to be cared for as a patient. At The Buddha's Medicine, I utilize a different care model - one that facilitates realhealing, and that treats the root causes of unwellness and dis-ease. As a practicing medical doctor, I blend the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda with evidence-based lifestyle medicine, and weave in elements from other integrative healing disciplines. I approach the practice of medicine with the core belief that we already hold the keys to our own wellness. It is not enough to treat our symptoms alone; the goal is real, genuine healing. My role is to walk with you as a trusted expertand guide as you discover greater well-being and reconnect with your vitality.
