Nicole S. Trajano, MD

Dr. Nicole Trajano decided to become a physician after volunteering for a health care project in South America. She chose family medicine because she enjoys working with people in all stages of life. "Knowing several members of the same family gives me insight into the daily stresses that can affect health," she says.

Dr. Trajano believes her most important role as a primary care provider is that of health educator. "Educating people about their health problems empowers them to make healthy lifestyle choices."

After earning her medical degree at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, Dr. Trajano completed her internship and residency at Oregon Health & Science University. Board certified in family medicine, she also has a special interest and expertise in pediatrics.
