Pectus Center at PeaceHealth RiverBend Pavilion

Oregon's leading center for patients with pectus conditions

Pectus deformities, such as Pectus Excavatum and Pectus Carinatum cause the chest to a have a “bowed out” or “pigeon chest” appearance. With age, pectus conditions can potentially lead to more serious health consequences and quality of life concerns. Parents are often the first to note children’s chest wall deformities and are encouraged to seek an expert evaluation upon doing so.

Our highly experienced surgeons specialize in the care of children and young adults with chest wall conditions. Our patients receive comprehensive care from a multi-disciplinary team that includes, but is not limited to, pediatric nurses, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and occupational and physical therapists.
