Salvador de la Cruz, MD
American Board of Family Medicine
Education: OHSU
Residency: Providence Milwaukie
Salvador de la Cruz, MD is a family physician and new physician-owner at Tualatin Valley Primary Care, serving individuals and families throughout the southwest Portland area.
After six years practicing family medicine in Tigard, Dr. de la Cruz is excited to begin this next chapter at Tualatin Valley Primary Care. The smaller, independent practice setting gives him the opportunity to focus on what he values most about medicine: spending time with his patients, listening to their concerns, and building relationships that last for years.
A graduate of Willamette University and Oregon Health & Science University, Dr. de la Cruz completed his Family Medicine residency at Providence Milwaukie and has practiced in the Portland area since 2019. He also serves as a medical director for local hospice agencies. His clinical interests include preventive medicine, chronic disease management and geriatrics, while continuing to care for children, adults and seniors as a family physician.
Dr. de la Cruz believes good primary care starts with understanding the person behind the medical chart. He takes time to learn about each patient’s health, family, background and priorities so that care can be tailored to the individual. Over the years, his patients have described his approach as thorough, knowledgeable, caring and nonjudgmental—and have especially valued feeling heard and supported.
Outside of medicine, Dr. de la Cruz enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters, photography and filmmaking, sports, and life on his family’s small blueberry farm. He moved to Oregon from the Philippines at age 12 and has called Oregon home ever since. You can also frequently find him supporting women’s sports and cheering on local teams.
At Tualatin Valley Primary Care, Dr. de la Cruz looks forward to continuing to care for families throughout Tigard, Tualatin, Sherwood, Wilsonville and the surrounding communities—with more time, better access, and care that remains personal.
