A native Oregonian, Dr. Gregory L. McDonald is a Naturopathic Physician and Licensed Acupuncturist. He received his Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine in 1986 and his Master of Science Oriental Medicine (MSOM) in 2007 from the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM) in Portland, Oregon.
Dr. Greg, as his patients call him, is known for his wealth of experience, knowledge and calm presence. His personable approach puts patients at ease. People feel safe and free from worry of injury during his low impact treatments. In the tradition of the original ‘nature care’ doctors, he takes time get to know the lifestyle and concerns of each person he treats. He’s available to patients off-hours when needed and even does home visits by request.
Since his early days working in a health food store, Dr. Greg’s been passionate about nutrition. He shares his extensive knowledge and enthusiasm for ‘food as medicine’ with interested patients, as well as his belief in meditative movement to help maintain health. He’s been an avid tai chi and qi gong practitioner since 1980.
When not doing his healing work at the clinic, Dr. Greg enjoys nature photography, hiking, composing haikus, early American history, backyard bird watching and sipping cups of Sencha tea. You’ll find him frequently at the Oregon coast or hiking in the rugged mountains of Canada and the Sierras. He recently returned from California’s White Mountains, enamored of the ancient, twisting trees of the bristlecone pine forest, some of which exceed 1,000 years of age. Talk about longevity and health!
