For Dr. Amelie Tiritilli, the best part of her job is when a patient says, “I feel better.” Whether she’s in the clinic, the hospital, or the procedural suite, she loves helping her patients with a wide range of GI problems every day. She also appreciates having the opportunity to actively take part in cancer prevention by doing routine screening procedures.
Dr. Tiritilli values talking to her patients and learning more about who they are as people. Her goal is to understand each patient’s individual health needs, develop a therapeutic relationship based on compassion and trust, and empower them with insight and understanding into their health conditions.
Outside of work, Dr. Tiritilli spends her time baking, skiing, weightlifting, reading, and exploring restaurants and bakeries in Portland. She enjoys international travel and spending time with her husband and their dog Penelope.
