What's distinctive here
The specialties Oregon has more — and fewer — of than the nation
Relative to its size, Oregon has about 6.5× the national share of peer specialists and only 0.33× the share of behavior technicians. These gaps reflect how each state licenses and classifies professions — not how much care is available.

How to read this directory
This count includes every individual clinician — physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, therapists, and psychologists — with a current active National Provider Identifier on file with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and a primary practice address in Oregon. Organizations such as hospitals, group practices, and pharmacies carry their own separate NPPES records and are deliberately not included in this individual-provider total, and each clinician is counted once under their registered primary taxonomy. Every figure is drawn from the federal National Provider Identifier Registry (CMS NPPES) — more than 7 million providers, maintained since May 2007, with 2023 Medicare Part D data — and, according to CMS, can be searched, compared, and traced in our methodology.
Important: this is a directory of public CMS government data — not a quality ranking, a review aggregator, or medical advice. NPPES records are self-reported and refreshed monthly, so a listed address or phone number can lag reality; always call the office to confirm location, insurance acceptance, and new-patient availability before booking. Verify licensure and disciplinary history — which are not shown here — through the NPI Registry and your state medical board.

- Verify any shortlisted provider's federal record and license before booking — registration alone is not a quality signal. NPI lookup
- Check Oregon's disciplinary-action trends to understand the state board's enforcement context. Board actions
