Dr. Biemer specializes in helping people age gracefully and without missing a step in their active lives. An avid triathlete and distance competitor, he is particularly interested in working with aging athletes. Dr. Biemer works closely with each patient regardless of their starting point, identifying and reducing their health risks.
Dr. Biemer has formed close, personal relationships throughout the community. After completing his residency at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., he added fellowship training in research and teaching at the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Oregon Health Science University.
Since then, Dr. Biemer has practiced in the Portland area, almost exclusively at St. Vincent Medical Center, where he was recently elected president of the medical staff” to read “Since then, Dr. Biemer has practiced almost exclusively at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center. Although running an independent practice of internal medicine since 2008, he has served as internal medicine section chief, president of the medical staff, and now sits on Providence’s Oregon Community Ministry board, which is responsible ultimately for the quality of care at its 8 hospitals in the state of Oregon.
His interest in longevity medicine – a proactive and preventive approach to caring for people as they grow older – stemmed in part from his many years as a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. This approach now has overlapped with what is called “functional medicine” and is informed by newer adherents to this approach including Dale Bredesen (who wrote “The End of Alzheimers”), Peter Attia (podcast “The Drive”), Mark Hyman (podcasts and many books) and David Sinclair (recent book “Lifespan”).
