About me

*Always open to New OB/prenatal patients and pediatric patients

Dr. Hunter Poarch is a family physician who cares for patients of all ages, from diverse backgrounds and walks of life. He finds joy in partnering with his patients as they work toward improved physical and mental health. Teamwork (with patients, nurses, office staff, medical staff) is an important aspect of working in family medicine and Dr. Poarch thrives on these relationships.

Outside of work, Dr. Poarch enjoys spending time with friends and loved ones over a nice cup of coffee or a home-cooked meal. He and his wife (also a family medicine doctor) enjoy hiking, backpacking, and exploring new mountain biking trails. They both spent time working in a rural medical clinic in New Zealand where they were able to enjoy a taste of the farming life and explore the great outdoors.

Insurance

Before scheduling an appointment

  1. Check your network. If you have health insurance,  call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
  2. Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.

If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.
