Alex Mechler-Hickson, M.D.
My favorite part about being a pediatrician is the long-term relationships we build with patients and families. I look forward to learning more about your values over time and partnering together to make sure that they are reflected in your child’s medical care. You can count on me to listen to your perspective, share what testing or treatment options there is evidence for, and recommend next steps based on our conversation.
I am originally from Wisconsin, and after completing medical school at the University of Wisconsin – Madison (Go Badgers!), my partner and I decided to move to Oregon for residency training. We love hiking, rock climbing and trail running in our free time, which has made the area a really good fit.
I share my practice with Dr. Wollmuth, an experienced pediatrician whose practice style I really admire. We are able to see each others’ patients when the other is out.
Shared Practice
Every patient has a primary pediatrician. Sometimes, especially for last-minute appointments, your pediatrician may not have available appointments, so our pediatricians partner with each other to reduce wait times and improve access to care. Additionally, they partner with someone that complements their style and brings a fresh perspective to their patient’s care.
