About Me

I like to spend time getting to better know and understand my patients as individuals. This fosters an environment in which we can work together as a team to create the best diagnosis and treatment plan for them.

- Kathryn Hendrickson, MD

Dr. Hendrickson loves the variety pulmonary and critical care medicine gives her. She gets to help patients with their immediate disease, but also form relationships over time, perform procedures, and treat a wide variety of patients with a wide variety of diseases. 

Other Interests: 

Dr. Hendrickson enjoys living in Portland because of the access to the outdoors and outdoor activities, sports, music, art, food, and sense of community she feels here. 

Outside of work, you can find her hiking, biking, snowboarding, watching all kinds of sports especially baseball and softball, playing and listening to music, spending time with family and friends, exploring Portland, and traveling around the Pacific Northwest with her husband.
