About me

Dr. Nicole Cairns (she/her) is a family physician. She is passionate about partnering with her patients and their families to improve all aspects of their health and wellbeing.

She has special interests in pregnancy care, women’s health and addiction medicine. Dr. Cairns also finds working with kids, adolescents, LGBTQ and gender-nonconforming folks, and multigenerational families very rewarding.

What she loves about Obstetrics:

"Pregnancy and giving birth can be exciting, scary, and vulnerable. I feel honored to be part of that journey with my patients and to care for them and their growing families after."

Dr Cairns is always accepting new pregnant patients.

When she is not working, Dr. Cairns enjoys spending time with her partner and their adorable dog, hiking all the beautiful trails of the Pacific Northwest, and cooking.

Insurance

Before scheduling your appointment, we recommend you contact your insurance company to verify that the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is included in your network. Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any copayments, co–insurance, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with OHSU providers, your out of pocket liability may be higher. Visit the billing and insurance section of our site for more information.
