Best Pediatricians in Portland, OR | Behavioral Specialists

The Metro Pediatrics Story

We’re proud that our roots extend deep in Oregon as our founding physicians were some of the first pediatricians in Portland at the renowned Bodine-Cantril Clinic, established in 1908. After more than one hundred years, several clinic locations, and mergers with other groups, Metropolitan Pediatrics is the oldest continuing group of pediatric providers in the Portland metro region.

We value that our growth in diversity of pediatric services and diversity among our team matches the growth in our area. We continue to honor our heritage every day by providing outstanding care that is personalized, compassionate, and utilizes best practices in pediatric medicine.

Metro Pediatrics welcomes new pediatric patients with services, including primary care, behavioral health, lactation support, sports medicine, injury care, and more.
