History

The Children’s Clinic was founded in 1911 by Dr. Joseph Bilderback. He was the first Pediatrician in the Northwest and founded the Pediatric Department at the Oregon Health Science University. The Children’s Clinic was originally located in downtown Portland. Now over 100 years later the clinic has moved and expanded to included two full service sites and one satellite site. Our Portland pediatrics clinic is located in SW Portland on Barnes Road, our Tualatin clinic is located on SW 65th Avenue and our Newberg clinic is located on Deborah Road.
