Who We Are

 

Raymond Brady, MD graduated with honors from Oklahoma University Medical Center after completing their B.A. program in Psychology. He served 5 years in the US Navy, during which he was a Resident and also named as Chief Resident in Pediatrics at the Naval Regional Medical Center in San Diego. He passed the American Board of Pediatrics’ examination and was also awarded Fellowship in the American Academy of Pediatrics.

He completed 1 year of required Fellowship in Allergy & Clinical Immunology at the University of California at San Diego. His second year of study was completed within the Kaiser Foundation System in Los Angeles, following which he was offered the position of Chief of Allergy/Clinical Immunology at Northwest Permanente in Portland, OR. He passed the American Board of Allergy and Immunology’s exam and was also awarded Fellowship in the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.

After 2 years in the Portland Kaiser system, he joined Allergy Associates to practice in Vancouver, WA, where he worked until a temporary hiatus from clinical practice for medical mission work. He has remained active in the specialty and returned to full time practice early in 2006. He has been named Clinical Assistant Professor in both Pediatrics and the Allergy Division of Internal Medicine at Oregon Health and Sciences University. He has been President of the Oregon Allergy Society. He has completed an extensive number of research studies and has given more than 100 lectures to fellow physicians, health care providers, pharmacists and the general public. Topics have included food and medication allergy, insect allergy, nasal allergy, sinusitis, asthma and other lung diseases.

Due to his 30-year experience, he brings a mature understanding of the wonderful healing nature of our God-given bodies to the practice of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. He has dealt with skin problems, nasal and sinus diseases and lung issues in patients ranging from newborn infants all the way to the very elderly.

Our professional staff has been extensively trained and brings an unequalled degree of compassion and care to the practice. They represent over 30-years of experience in the fields of Allergy and Asthma with most of this time being spent working directly with Dr. Brady in clinical practice. Together, we bring a wholistic approach to this specialized field by recognizing that we are merely helpers and that it is God, not we, providing the healing.
