Brenda is a Family Practice Physician who was born and raised in the Portland, Oregon area. She is the mother of three grown daughters and has recently become the grandmother of her first grandchild. She attended college at Pacific University, where she obtained her undergraduate degree in Psychology in 1991. After college, she went to medical school at Oregon Health Sciences University and then completed her medical residency in Family Practice at Kaiser Permanente in Woodland Hills, California in 1998. She went on to work at Kaiser Permanente for 16 years and was the lead Family physician on the East side of Portland.
She also worked as a physician at Providence Health & Services for 4 years, where she was given an award for the highest patient satisfaction rating. During the Covid-19 Pandemic, she was the Chief Medical Officer at an Emergency Intake Site on Ft. Bliss Army Base in El Paso, Texas where she oversaw the medical care of Covid-19 patients, along with other co-existing medical conditions.
In her free time, she enjoys exploring the great outdoors and has hiked many trails in the Pacific Northwest. She believes in living a balanced life so that she can provide the best medical care to the patients who entrust their care to her.

Denise Palke is a native Oregonian and has been a family medicine doctor since 2010. She trained at Loma Linda University and then graduated from the Providence Milwaukie Family Medicine Residency in 2013. She has practiced in a variety of settings over the last 12 years, but as time went on, she started wondering if there was a better way to help her patients achieve optimal health. This led her first to a board certification in Lifestyle Medicine and ultimately, to training in functional medicine. She is planning on sitting for her functional medicine certification exam in 2026.
Dr. Palke’s own journey included a diagnosis of celiac disease in 2020. After the diagnosis and admonishment to “do your best to avoid gluten,” she was sent back into the world thinking there must be more to it than that. She discovered functional medicine as a way to address how she got here in the first place, how to move towards healing and how to hopefully prevent future autoimmune conditions.
