Dr. Nicholas Nowell is a family physician. Dr. Nowell was influenced by his own family physician, who cared for him and both his parents with warmth and kindness for over two decades. He hopes to develop similarly strong relationships with his patients. Dr. Nowell's special interests are in treating underserved populations, addiction medicine, immigrant healthcare, mental health, and preventive care. He also looks forward to becoming a thoughtful family physician and teacher while working alongside the compassionate and talented folks at OHSU.

Dr. Nowell grew up outside Boston, Massachusetts before moving closer to the city for college, where he studied chemistry. For several years, Nick was a teaching assistant in organic chemistry. This is where his love of teaching began, which he hopes to continue in residency and beyond.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Nowell enjoys a book club with his college roommates, the New York Times Sunday crossword, afternoon naps, learning Spanish, tennis, hiking, and cooking (especially macaroni and cheese).
