About
At The Biemer Clinic, two physicians deliver concierge internal medicine to patients across Portland and Multnomah County. Dr. James Biemer founded the practice and has spent over three decades building medicine around genuine relationships. Dr. Summer Lam brings more than 20 years of Portland-area experience and a deep focus on preventive care and healthy aging.
The practice keeps its panel small so patients reach a provider the same day or next day. A tiered monthly fee covers phone and portal access, same-day scheduling, and the infrastructure that keeps the practice running at a personal scale. Clinical focus spans longevity medicine, functional medicine, diabetes management, cardiovascular health, blood pressure, and care for aging athletes. The team draws on thinkers like Peter Attia, Dale Bredesen, and David Sinclair to shape a proactive approach to aging. For needs outside the practice, the physicians maintain a wide network of trusted specialists.
