Nathaniel Cheney, M.D. (he/him)
Biography
I am a family practice physician with clinical expertise in family medicine and a special focus on rural medicine. I provide primary care for both adults and children, including preventative care, basic procedures, contraceptive care, prenatal care, and more. I commonly treat conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.
I was born and raised in and around Bend, Oregon, and spent several years of my childhood in Muak Lek, Thailand. I studied biochemistry at Walla Walla University before earning my M.D. at Loma Linda University School of Medicine. I chose rural family medicine because I value the opportunity to provide broad-spectrum care to patients of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of health. My medical interests include pediatrics, addiction medicine, procedures, and lifestyle medicine.
I strive to provide whole-person care that aligns with each patient’s values and needs. I aim to help people achieve better health through evidence-based medicine, while also considering the lifestyle, social, and other factors that influence overall wellness.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, cooking, playing guitar, hiking, and playing pickleball.
