About
Dr. Christine (Christy) Rivers, DO, is a board‑certified pediatrician who practices a Direct Primary Care (DPC) model at New Way Pediatrics in Corvallis, Oregon. She emphasizes compassionate, concierge‑style care that builds strong, long‑term relationships with families. Patients benefit from unlimited access via phone, text, and house calls, eliminating the need for insurance‑driven copays and allowing her to spend more time with each child. The practice’s mission is to deliver evidence‑based, personalized pediatric care while fostering a supportive community rooted in kindness and respect.
Clinically, Dr. Rivers brings over two decades of experience. She completed a pediatric residency at SUNY Upstate Medical Center in New York, followed by three years as a pediatric hospitalist at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center. Prior to residency she served four years as a General Medical Officer in the U.S. Navy and completed an internship with the National Naval Consortium. She earned her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific in 2003. Her background combines outpatient primary care, inpatient hospital medicine, and military service, all of which inform her patient‑centered DPC philosophy.
