Finding an Indian/Desi Physician in Portland

Portland is not a city with a concentrated Indian/Desi enclave in the way that the South Bay or northern New Jersey are. The Indian/Desi population here is more dispersed, drawn primarily to healthcare, technology, and university research sectors. That dispersion shows up clearly in this provider list: the 25 health professionals catalogued here are spread across the metro from N Jantzen Dr in the far north to SE Raymond St in outer southeast, and from NW Cornell Rd in the west hills to NE Everett St in the northeast.

For Indian/Desi families in Portland looking for a physician who may share cultural context — whether for language ease, familiarity with South Asian dietary patterns, vegetarian and fasting-related health questions, or simply comfort navigating the U.S. healthcare system — this directory is a practical starting point. Specialty information was not available for all listed providers in the source data; contact each practice directly to confirm scope of care and insurance acceptance before scheduling.

This list draws exclusively from verified Portland-area practice records and contains only professionals with confirmed Portland addresses.

OHSU Physicians

Oregon Health & Science University, located at 3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Rd on the West Hills above the South Park Blocks, is Portland's flagship academic medical center and one of Oregon's largest employers. Five Indian/Desi physicians on this list practice there.

The clustering of five physicians at OHSU reflects the institution's role as a national draw for specialist and subspecialist physicians. OHSU providers typically operate in complex or subspecialty care. Many require referrals — check with your primary care provider or insurance plan before attempting to book directly.

North and Northeast Portland

The N Interstate Ave address for Dr. Anjali Patel places her near Portland's community health center corridor, which serves North Portland's diverse and lower-income populations. The NE Everett and NE 65th Ave addresses fall within established Northeast Portland medical office clusters.

Dr. Dali Singh at 7237 N Fessenden St and Dr. Saurabh Patel at 11919 N Jantzen Dr are both on the far-north end of Portland — more accessible to families in St. Johns, Kenton, and across the river in Clark County than to those in the inner southeast.

Northwest and Downtown Portland

The NW Lovejoy and SW Morrison corridors are home to multi-specialty medical office buildings where independent and group practices concentrate. Dr. Roshni Patel at 1411 SW Morrison St, Suite 310 and Dr. Andrew Patel at 2222 NW Lovejoy St are both in buildings that typically house specialty or multi-provider practices. Dr. Harleen Singh on NW 9th Ave is a short distance from OHSU's outpatient campus at the South Waterfront — a cluster of specialty clinics.

West Hills and Beaverton-Adjacent

SW Barnes Rd, NW Cornell Rd, and NW Laidlaw Rd are in the West Hills — close to Beaverton and the broader Silicon Forest corridor where many Indian/Desi tech families live. For Indian/Desi households in Beaverton, Hillsboro, or the Intel campus area, this cluster of West Hills physicians is substantially more accessible than OHSU or downtown providers.

Dr. Jeegisha Patel at 3303 SW Bond Ave is at OHSU's South Waterfront campus (the Bond Ave complex), an important distinction from the main Marquam Hill campus — this location handles many outpatient appointments and is reachable by the Portland Aerial Tram.

VA Portland and Outer Southeast

Dr. Amar Patel and Dr. Salina Patel share the Veterans Hospital Rd address — the Portland VA Medical Center, which serves eligible veterans only. Their shared phone number suggests they may be in the same VA department or clinical group. Dr. Loretta Shah at 12505 SE Raymond St is in outer Southeast Portland, a zone underserved by specialty medicine and valuable for families in the Foster-Powell, Woodstock, or Lents neighborhoods.

Insider Tip: Multiple physicians on this list share the Patel surname — over a dozen in this directory alone. When searching online directories or calling a practice, always confirm the full name and specialty before booking. "Dr. Patel at OHSU" could refer to Dr. Renita Patel or Dr. Rhusheet Patel, and "Dr. Patel in NW" could point to Dr. Andrew Patel or Dr. Chandni Patel. A full name and address together is the only reliable identifier.

FAQ

Are all these physicians Indian/Desi? The list draws from Indian/Desi health professional records in Portland. Most carry Indian-origin surnames (Patel, Singh, Amin, Desai, Srinivasan, Shah). A small number of listed names (Roy, Ahmed, Gill) reflect the broader South Asian-adjacent diaspora communities that overlap with the Indian/Desi professional network.

Do these doctors take new patients? This directory does not include current patient-acceptance status. Call each practice directly to confirm availability, insurance in-network status, and whether new patients are being scheduled.

Do I need a referral for OHSU physicians? Many OHSU-based physicians are specialists who require a referral. Contact OHSU's main scheduling line or your primary care provider to confirm before attempting to book directly.

Can non-Indian patients see these doctors? Yes. All listed providers serve the general Portland patient population. Being listed in an Indian/Desi directory reflects the physicians' background and community connection, not a restriction on patient demographics.

What should I bring to a first appointment? Standard documentation applies: insurance card, photo ID, current medication list, and relevant prior records. OHSU and VA appointments typically require online pre-registration through their respective patient portals.

Bottom Line

Portland's Indian/Desi healthcare community is distributed across the metro in a way that reflects the city's dispersed South Asian population. OHSU anchors the specialist tier with Dr. Sonesh Amin, Dr. Sima Desai, Dr. Renganathan Srinivasan, and colleagues. The West Hills cluster serves the Beaverton and Silicon Forest corridor. Dr. Anjali Patel's North Portland location and Dr. Dali Singh's outer-north address serve communities far from the city's medical core. For Indian/Desi families anywhere in Portland, this directory is a verified starting point — use the phone numbers to confirm specialty and availability, and book through each practice directly.
