About Dr. Peirson
Dr. Peirson moved to Portland, Oregon 17 years ago with the dream of becoming a Naturopathic Physician. She obtained her bachelor's degree in Biology from Portland State University and achieved a place in the Gold Key International Honour Society.
Dr. Peirson earned her doctorate degree from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon. She is a licensed physician in the state of Oregon, having passed the Naturopathic Licensing Exams.
She currently lives in Portland with her husband, Stephen, and their 5 year old son, Miles. They all enjoy being outside (when it's not raining) hiking, biking, and working in the garden. Erica also enjoys crafting, cooking and sharing healthy and delicious recipes with her patients. Erica plays piano and her husband teaches piano and guitar. Their son enjoys the music that almost always fills their home.
In addition to her medical practice Dr. Peirson teaches Anatomy & Physiology and Cell Biology at Portland Community College. She loves teaching and often teaches her patients about their bodies to help encourage involvement in their own health care.
She worked at Shriners Hospital for Children throughout her first 14 years here in Portland. Her work with Shriners Hospital has greatly molded her as a person and as a physician. She has been deeply moved by the strength of the children there and gained a deeper level of compassion for others.
Before moving to Portland Dr. Peirson worked for three years as an EMT in an Emergency Room in Clearwater, Florida. She knew that the field of medicine was right for, gaining great satisfaction with helping people in their greatest time of need. She also gained a lot of experience and knowledge while working in the ER. Her experience there gave her an appreciation for and understanding of conventional medicine. However, she was frustrated with the current crisis management system of healthcare. Having a good understanding of the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle, she wanted to help others with a more natural approach.
Listening carefully to the goals and expectations of each patient, Dr. Peirson pays close attention to the specific needs of each patient. Her personal, gentle, yet thorough approach to medicine is appreciated by her patients.
