Meet Dr Easton

Thank you for visiting this site. My goal is to provide a brief overview of my experience and how I approach the practice of medicine. Also to provide links to information supported by science that individuals can use to help to educate themselves on their health and how to maintain it.

Working in the US as a primary care physician for over 20 years, I have come to better understand how diet and lifestyle are powerful tools to prevent and - when possible - reverse chronic illness. I believe the other tool is a healthcare system that people can afford to access and a viable public health system. Public health systems includes such things as access to safe drinking water, food, vaccines, birth control, education, medications and medical therapies.

The systems in the body are interconnected and interdependent. They are complex and efficient and their tendency is towards balance and health. This too can be said of our environment and the organisms that live on this planet. Our health and fates are connected and as we choose well for our health we can choose well for our communities and the planet.

I went into medicine because of a head injury. After graduating high school, I was thrown from a horse and trampled. I had a significant traumatic brain injury and had both retrograde and anterograde amnesia, loosing about 5 years of my memory. Fortunately, I had a family who were able to deal with the challenges of caring for a person who had sustained a TBI. Also, fortunately, our family's primary care physician was a most amazing person and physician, Dr Renate Justin, and the care she gave to me and guidance she provided my family helped us all to recover. I pursued a career in medicine - in part - because of her.

My undergraduate degree is in computer science. I then went to medical school and after that completed a residency in family medice in which I am board certified.

My practices have been in primary care, urgent care, and rural emergency room settings.

Volunteer work includes disaster relief medicine after hurricane Katrina, as well as being on the board of directors for a chapter of Planned Parenthood in Oregon.

I currently work in general medicine providing tele health care.

Outside of my medical practice, interests include civil and human rights, the environment and food as medicine.
