Description
About Optimize U
Optimize U is a rapidly growing health optimization company focused on helping patients improve how they feel, function, and age. Our clinics combine evidence-informed medicine, comprehensive laboratory testing, hormone optimization, metabolic health, sexual wellness, nutrition, lifestyle intervention, and advanced recovery services.
We are seeking an experienced, patient-focused Naturopathic Physician to help build and lead our clinical presence in the Portland market.
This is an excellent opportunity for an ND who values longer-term patient relationships, clinical autonomy within established protocols, ongoing education, and a proactive approach to health rather than a traditional symptom-management model.

The Naturopathic Physician will evaluate and manage adult patients seeking improvement in energy, body composition, hormonal health, sexual wellness, metabolic function, healthy aging, and overall quality of life.
The right candidate will be clinically confident, highly personable, comfortable discussing sensitive health concerns, and able to explain complex medical information in a way that motivates patients to take action.

Conduct comprehensive new-patient consultations and follow-up visits.
Review medical histories, symptoms, medications, laboratory results, and treatment goals.
Develop individualized, evidence-informed treatment plans.

Order and interpret laboratory testing within the provider’s lawful scope of practice.

Maintain accurate, timely, and compliant medical documentation.

Follow Optimize U clinical protocols, quality standards, compliance policies, and patient-safety procedures.
Participate in ongoing clinical education, peer review, and case discussions.

Support community education, professional networking, and appropriate clinic-growth initiatives.
