Rehabilitation Medicine Associates

Where in Portland does one find nearly 100 years of combined expertise in the field of Rehabilitation Medicine under one roof? Rehabilitation Medicine Associates (RMA) is a private practice with 8 physiatrists and 1 physician assistant delivering this wealth of medical knowledge to the Portland metro area.

Established in 1971, the practice has continued to be strong, adapting to changing health care climates and advances in 21st-century medicine. “I believe this strength is a testament to the outstanding quality of care and service offered at RMA,” says Gary Ward, MD. “Our expertise has been sought out by the major health systems in the Portland area,” adds Dr. Ward.

RMA physicians treat patients with a wide spectrum of conditions, ranging from disabling neurological diseases to painful musculo-skeletal conditions. “Although we see patients with a seemingly broad range of conditions, the common theme in all cases is to focus on getting people functioning again,” says Jennifer Lawlor, MD. “Rehabilitation Medicine Associates offers nonsurgical, healthy, practical treatment plans and often collaborates with physical therapists, occupational therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and surgeons to restore the highest quality of life to our patients.” In addition, the RMA physicians provide the inpatient medical care in the Rehabilitation Institute of Oregon (RIO) at Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center in NW Portland.

“RMA physicians are well versed in the diversity of health insurance products and offer a unique understanding of the workman’s compensation system and motor vehicle accident insurance, as well as private insurers. There is a cost efficiency inherent in the type of medicine we practice which is always helpful to patients,” says Dr. Ward.
