About

At Crane DPC, two physicians bring a shared vision to direct primary care in NE Portland. Dr. Emi Koda and Dr. Brandon Young co-founded the practice with a clear goal: deliver the kind of thorough, relationship-centered care that each patient deserves. The name draws from the Japanese crane, "tsuru," a symbol of longevity and loyalty. The tradition of "senbazuru" - a thousand folded paper cranes thought to bring healing - also shapes the practice's spirit. Crane DPC serves patients across the full spectrum of primary care. Dr. Koda brings over 15 years of family medicine experience across the Pacific Northwest. Dr. Young focuses on internal medicine and offers gender-affirming care, medical weight management, and ADHD testing and treatment. Both physicians prioritize transparent pricing and direct access. Members reach their doctor by text, phone, or video through a HIPAA-compliant platform. Appointments run 30 to 60 minutes. The practice also offers discounted lab and imaging rates for self-pay members and welcomes LGBTQ+ patients as a safe, affirming space.
