Brett J. Schulte, M.D., F.A.C.S.

“We have formed a great relationship between Grants Pass and OHSU in Portland. It means we can offer the very best to a small community like Grants Pass.”

Overview:
Originally from Southern California, Dr Shulte moved to Idaho to attend college and experience the great Northwest. He attained his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Washington and completed his General Surgery Residency at St Joseph’s Hospital program in Denver. After training, he entered the Navy and served in Florida, Washington, and aboard the USS Nimitz. Once his military work was finished, a return to the Northwest was inevitable. Given the beauty and recreational opportunities, he settled in Grants Pass.

Dr Shulte has been Chief of Staff, Vice Chief of Staff, and is now Chairman of the Trauma Committee at Three Rivers Community Hospital. In addition, he is on the board of directors at Lovejoy Hospice, is an integral part of Mid Rogue Independent Physician’s Association patient care committee and is appointed as Assistant Clinical Professor of Surgery at OHSU.

Dr Shulte has a special interest in the surgical care of cancer patients, and enjoys spending time explaining in detail disease processes and treatment options.
