Heart of Tabor Functional Medicine
Dr. Aleksandra Giedwoyn founded Heart of Tabor Functional Medicine to offer patients a comprehensive approach to healing. Our goal is to help you feel your best by getting to the root causes of your symptoms and helping to prevent dis-ease. We team up with each patient to create a tailored treatment plan that considers both internal and external factors affecting your well-being. While we use cutting-edge diagnostic tests, we also dig deeper to uncover and address potential health drivers that might not show up on standard tests. It's like being a health detective - we leave no stone unturned in our quest to optimize your health!
Aleksandra Giedwoyn MD
Born and raised in east Portland, I graduated with a BS in Biochemistry from Lewis & Clark College. As a first generation Polish-American, I received my M.D. from Karol Marcinkowski Medical School and finished my Family Medicine internship and residency at Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona. I am both board certified in Family Medicine & a certified practitioner with IFMCP (Institute for Functional Medicine). For several years I have participated in advanced mentorship programs and continue to deepen my knowledge and keep pace with the scientific advances.
When I opened my solo micro Family Medicine practice in 2017 to offer slow medicine and I discovered functional medicine along the way. Both as an employed physician and as a patient, I have experienced mainstream medicine to resemble an assembly line form of care. Patients who are motivated to understand why they have a medical problem, rather than just wanting a pill to solve the problem, often need longer appointments than the typical 10-15 minute visit.
Since the 1990's I have been commuting to work by bicycle year round. I am an avid outdoor adventurer and enjoy yoga, meditation, and foraging wild foods.
My last name is pronounced with a short vowel in the first syllable, and the later part rhymes with "coin", "Ged-voin".
