About Jacob J. Sheff
Dr. Sheff’s father is a physician. Growing up, he enjoyed listening to his dad talk about his day at the dinner table. He was also impressed by how much the people in their community appreciated his father’s care. “I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do in medical school. It was my wife who noticed how much joy I get working with children and suggested pediatrics for a career. As usual, she was right. I can’t imagine a more rewarding job. I love getting to know my patients and their families, helping them through illnesses and watching them grow and develop into flourishing adults.”
“I strive to provide quality care while focusing on safety. I am an advisor to parents and always consider their values and opinions when making medical recommendations. When managing chronic conditions, I encourage lifestyle modifications before resorting to medication, and even then, I try to limit the dosage.”
A board-certified pediatrician, Dr. Sheff earned his medical degree from Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences. He completed his internship at Peconic Bay Medical Center, on Long Island (NY). His pediatric residency training took place at the joint Wright-Patterson AFB/Wright State University program in Dayton, OH
When not in the office, Dr. Sheff enjoys reading and creative writing (some of which has been published). He also loves going on adventures with his wife and daughter; visiting museums, traveling abroad and exploring all the natural beauty Oregon has to offer.

I cannot say enough good things about everyone at our pediatrician's office. From the scheduling staff, to the front desk, to the medical assistants and nurses, to the wonderful Dr. Sheff, we could not ask for a more thoughtful, engaged, skilled team in caring for all three of our kids. They are incredible professionals and just the warmest, loveliest people. So happy to be in their hands.

Everyone here was and is amazing. They fit us in with no notice on our part. We happened to be at the urgent care clinic downstairs and they were booked. I went in the this office (which is where our children's regular doctor is) and they got us in. The doctor was also awesome. We haven't seen him before so our son was nervous but he was excellent. Everything was fantastic!

Dr. Sheff does an amazing job listening and addressing all of my concerns. He is patient and kind. Dr. Sheff also took time to listen to me ask about my other son whom is also his patient, which I greatly appreciated. Hes the best pediatrician we could have asked for.

I felt heard and validated with my concerns. He also took his time thoroughly examining my son.
