Specialty Clinics

Your child may need to see multiple specialists for assessment, treatment and follow up. Our pediatric specialty clinics help reduce the number of visits while improving the care they receive.

Bringing Pediatric Specialties Together

At one location and in a single day, we bring together the right providers and staff to complete evaluations and assessments, and provide the services your child needs. These clinics increase the connection and collaboration between our pediatric specialties. You get a single resource for understanding your child's complex medical condition and planning for treatment.

The clinic providers, which vary by clinic, include a range of pediatric practitioners with expertise in areas like genetics; neurology; ears, nose and throat; orthopedics; and pediatrics. Depending on a child's particular situation, they may also meet with our motion analysis specialists; social workers; child life specialists; physical, occupational and speech therapists. They can even receive orthotic and prosthetic services.

Clinic professionals meet to discuss each child and develop a personalized treatment plan that allows each child to reach their full potential. Shriners Children's Portland’s pediatric specialty clinics also allow families to come together and meet other families dealing with similar circumstances.

Bone Health Clinic

Shriners Children’s Portland has specialists in orthopedics, endocrinology, nutrition, and radiology, and offers state-of-the-art technology with a bone density DEXA scanner.

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scanners allow health care providers to examine the density of bone and assess how bone density is improving with therapy. DEXA is the gold standard for assessing bone mineral density in children and uses an exceptionally low amount of radiation (less than a single chest X-ray). It is used to both identify and diagnose children with diseases associated with fragility fractures, and to monitor treatment effects of medications used to improve bone density.

Patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease), rickets and other bone health problems are seen in this clinic.

Brachial Plexus and Peripheral Nerve Clinic

The brachial plexus and peripheral nerve is a group of nerves that originate at the spinal cord in the neck and travel down the arm. These nerves control the muscles of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand and provide feeling in the arm. A common misconception is that brachial plexus and peripheral nerve injuries resolve on their own. Early intervention makes a big difference.

The brachial plexus and peripheral nerve clinic is unique as two hand specialists are available to see each patient at the same time. Krister Freese, M.D., and Jenna Godfrey, M.D., MSPH, collaborate for the best experience for each child and their family. In addition to orthopedic hand specialists, occupational therapy, orthotics and social work are also available at the clinic.
