Eleni M. Clare, PA-C

"Shared decision making and evidence-based practice," says Eleni Clare, PA-C. "I like to explain treatment management options to families so that we can make an informed decision together and find the best plan for their child."

"I became a clinician because I have a role model in my father who is an emergency doctor," she says. "I felt excited and comfortable when I would visit him at work and knew that medicine would be a fulfilling career for me." As a PA-C, Eleni believes strongly in optimal team practice. "I can consult other medical team members, and we all work together as one care team"

Eleni earned her physician assistant degree from Barry University in St. Petersburg, Fla. She has more than 4 years experience in pediatric emergency medicine and is board certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA).

Born and raised in Virginia Beach, Va., Eleni is an avid Pittsburgh sports fan. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, skiing, reading at the beach, and exploring the Portland food and restaurant scene.
