“My care and treatment philosophy is that the needs of the patient come first. I see the patient as a whole, and part of a larger community when you take care of them.”
Dr. Crespo is board certified internal medicine and a gastroenterology physician. He is also fluent in Spanish. Dr. Crespo was born in Puerto Rico. Dr. Crespo moved from Europe to Alaska and has traveled all across the world. Dr. Crespo believes these experiences have helped him become a grounded person and helps him understand the differences that each person may encounter throughout their lives. Dr. Crespo came to Portland, OR and attended the University of Portland knowing he wanted to become a doctor. He immediately fell in love with the city and was fortunate enough to be involved in an exciting new basic science research for two years prior to enrolling in medical school. Dr. Crespo joined The Oregon Clinic in 2015 after spending four and a half years helping build and establish a successful Gastroenterology practice for the Adventist Medical System.
Dr. Crespo enjoys spending the majority of his free time with his two wonderful children and wife. He enjoys coaching his children’s soccer teams, traveling, skiing, and exploring the great outdoors here in Oregon.
