About

At Pig & Penguin Wellness, Dr. Cora Ludwig delivers adult primary care and obesity medicine in Clackamas, Oregon. Her husband and co-founder, Tim Gray, LMT, rounds out the practice with a full menu of massage therapy services. Together, they built the clinic on a belief that every person deserves compassionate, tailored healthcare.

The practice name carries personal meaning. Pigs and penguins have been symbols of Dr. Ludwig and Tim's relationship from the start. Those same values, love, compassion, kindness, and empathy, now guide the care they deliver. Dr. Ludwig holds board certification from the American Board of Obesity Medicine and a fellowship from the American College of Physicians. She integrates primary care and obesity medicine under one monthly membership, with no separate subscriptions and no hidden fees. Tim brings a background in medical informatics and a personal healing journey to his massage practice.
