About Kristen M. Gehring
Kristen has worked as a physician assistant specializing in endocrinology since 2006. Medicine has always interested her, she says. “Since childhood, I’ve loved the idea of helping others and making a difference in their lives.”
Listening deeply, communicating clearly, and making decisions collaboratively are three things she emphasizes in her work with patients. In addition to providing caring, competent, evidence-based medicine, she sees education as key to her role. “I enjoy partnering with patients to help them learn about their health conditions, and watching as they take ownership over them,” she says.
Kristin is a graduate of Linfield College. She completed her physician assistant education at Oregon Health & Science University.
A married mother of three, she spends most of her free time watching her kids’ sporting events and driving carpools. When she has time of her own, she likes reading historical fiction, gardening, traveling, hiking, paddleboarding, snowboarding, and being involved in her church.

It was my first visit with Dr Gehring, and my initial visit was a very good experience. I actually feel like someone sees me and hears what I'm saying. I have hope for the first time in a while.

Kristen is an excellent listener and communicator. Her reassurance about staying the course for another year on treatment makes me feel well cared for. I come out of my annual visit with a positive feeling.
