About The Portland Clinic

What is The Portland Clinic?

The Portland Clinic is a multi-specialty medical group with offices across the Portland area, including Beaverton and Tigard. It has more than 70 doctors and more than 25 areas of practice, from primary care and internal medicine to surgery, urology and sports medicine. Weight management is one service among many. Its Urgent Care department is closed as of September 9, 2026, though same-day appointments are available for established patients at multiple clinic locations, including Tigard. It has a 3.7 rating on Google from 349 reviews.

Its weight-management team is described in blog posts rather than on a dedicated program page. Two clinicians are named on it: Gunardi Irawan, M.D., an internal medicine doctor, and Ann Paulsen, M.D. A GLP-1 article from its pharmacy team names semaglutide (Wegovy) and dulaglutide (Trulicity). The team offers to help patients explore whether weight-loss medications are appropriate for them. In its own words: "Our weight-management team takes a five-pronged approach to supporting your health and goals." The five parts are treating underlying medical causes, personalized nutrition plans, exercise recommendations, behavioral changes and weight-loss medications.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for visits, consultations or medication. It does not state a consultation fee, whether medication is included in any fee, whether it accepts insurance, or how membership and cancellation work. It does not say whether it offers telehealth, and it does not list hours. Before you book, ask for the full cost of the first visit and the monthly cost of any medication, and get both in writing.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which clinician will write your prescription, and whether it will be Gunardi Irawan, M.D., Ann Paulsen, M.D., or someone else. Ask whether a monthly fee includes the medication or whether the drug is billed on top of it. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether the clinic bills insurance. Ask how cancellation works and whether any plan commits you to a set term. The clinic does not state that it offers hormone or peptide therapy, so ask directly if you are considering either. Finally, ask whether telehealth is available and which location your visits would be at.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a multi-specialty group with a weight-management team, and you are ready to get the medication, fee and cancellation terms in writing before you start. If you need a published price or a clear membership model, it is worth a call first to see what the clinic will quote you.
