About me

*Always open to pregnant patients.*

I’m a family medicine doctor who cares for patients of all ages—from infants and children to adults and older adults. As a primary care physician, I diagnose and treat a wide variety of health conditions and focus on preventive care to help you stay well.

I have special interests in:

  • Gender-affirming care
  • LGBTQ+ care
  • Office procedures
  • Reproductive health 

I consider the best part of my job to be getting to know my patients. I love that there is always something new to learn in the practice of medicine, and my goal is to approach every visit with curiosity and kindness.

I was born and raised in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I first fell in love with Portland while spending a year here after college as an AmeriCorps/Jesuit Volunteer with Central City Concern. After completing my medical training in Upstate New York and Northern California, I’m delighted to be back in the beautiful, rainy Pacific Northwest.

Outside of work, I enjoy biking around Portland, drawing and struggling through the New York Times daily crossword. My partner, Neel, is a fellow in Maternal Fetal Medicine and Genetics at OHSU. We live with two mischievous cats and hope to add backyard quail to our home someday.

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. 

Visit our billing and insurance page for more information.

  1. Dr Stettnichs really cares about her patients. She offers sympathy, thoughtful guidance on lifestyle modifications and well researched educational resources. Visits stay focused on my concerns and never feel rushed. She helps me navigate the medical bureaucracy more effectively.

  2. Very knowledgeable and friendly.

  3. I'm so happy I found Dr. Stetnich and OHSU

  4. My Primary care makes me feel comfortable, She answers my questions, She shows that she cares. She takes extra care in by asking another coworker. She referred me to a specialist just to make sure things are researched enough. I know she takes seriously what my concern is.

  5. Dr. Kaitlyn Stetnik was fabulous. I'm so happy to have her as my primary Dr. Best experience I've had in years.

  6. Friendly, warm, knowledgeable, caring and spends as much time as needed

  7. Informed and focused, and also friendly

  8. She ordered tests and explained what would happen with certain results (ie rx)now I'm told I have to make another appt?

  9. Since I am new to having her as my primary care doctor( she took over for a doctor who left after10 years), she seemed to be thorough. I will have an annual done next fall and then will have a better idea of how she assess her patients esp. Those who are living in their retirement years.

  10. I feel lucky that I have this primary care doctor. They are thorough, thoughtful in their responses, don't rush their assessments or process and listen to me.

  11. She is a great listener. One of the best doctors I have used
