About me
Dr. Nilan Schnure is an internal medicine physician and was drawn to primary care by the emphasis placed on a patient’s overall health and quality of life over the long term. His career in the sciences began when he worked in a pediatric oncology research laboratory over his summers in high school and college, and continued as he experienced global health research in Sri Lanka and clinical research in breast cancer after college. Throughout all these experiences, he found that he most valued individual patient relationships, and the chance to hear someone’s story and guide them through their own health challenges.
Dr. Schnure has a special interest in communication and how to translate testing and treatment probabilities into understandable language for both patients and medical trainees. He values these challenging decisions in primary care — when does it make sense to get a screening test? When could medicines or tests do more harm than good for a specific patient?
Before joining OHSU’s faculty, Dr. Schnure also completed a fellowship in point-of-care ultrasound. This is when a primary doctor, rather than a radiologist or sonographer, performs an ultrasound at the bedside to gather more information about a patient’s condition. Dr. Schnure has come to appreciate how point-of-care ultrasound can allow him to spend time with patients, strengthening their relationship while creating a shared understanding of their disease process and potentially expediting diagnosis and management.
Outside of work, Dr. Schnure enjoys exploring the outdoors with his wife and dog. While he grew up on the East Coast, he has come to appreciate the mountains, forests, fresh air and local foods of the Portland area.

Personable, knowledgeable, highly recommend
Dr. Schnure is an absolutely amazing doctor who truly cares and understands! Just an amazing doctor!!!
He didn't rush through the process. He explained what he was seeing after assessing my problem. He showed me clear images of the (shoulder joint) area I'm having difficulty with...pain & reduced range of motion, etc. He explained each step for administering the steroid injection.
Dr Schnure is always attentive and prepared. He is easy to talk to and shows concern. He's an excellent physician and a nice person.
The best I have ever had at OSHU
Dr. Shnure is an excellent listener and took his time taking my history. He seems like a conscientious and intelligent physician who I hope will be with OHSU for many years.
Great!!
My clinician was so kind, friendly and calming. She answered all of my questions and didn't make me feel rushed.
I got an urgent appointment and after an X-ray and some bloodwork the doctor was able to diagnose my problem.
Great!
Very good at listening and answering any questions I had.
Dr. Schnure is without a doubt the best I have ever worked with. He is supportive and very caring!!
Seemed to really listen to my concerns
Perfect
Listens to my concerns, kind, very understanding
Excellent
This provider was very patient and kind. He didn't talk down to me or above my knowledge. Great perception. He explained everything clearly and succinctly. We'll see if the procedure works, but the clinician also explained why it might or might work and suggested what might be a next step if it doesn't.
He is one of the best doctors I have seen at OSHU. He truly cares for his patients.
He is the best I have had at OHSU
No problems
He seems interested in my petty grievances.
Very professional, competent, thoughtful in suggestions and quite caring for my issues.
Nilan is a great communicator and listener. He is thorough in his examinations and practices. An example why one would go to a newly graduated doc.
Expert, cordial, efficient, effective
It was my first time seeing Dr. Schnure. I was very impressed and wouldn't hesitate to consult him again.
