KEVIN BAXTER

Dr. Kevin Baxter, DO, is a Family Medicine Physician who has been practicing in Astoria, OR since 2003. He was in private practice for twelve years before joining the Columbia Memorial Hospital Primary Care team for five years. His years with CMH provided many professional growth opportunities that, over time, required more and more time spent in administrative duties and less time in the clinic. He found himself missing what he enjoys the most about medicine; direct patient care. He is returning to private practice and joining a nationwide movement in primary care called Direct Primary Care (DPC). This model is designed to decrease the overall cost to the patient and improve the quality of care provided, the patient's access to care, and the overall healthcare experience.
