Trauma Clinic at Legacy Emanuel

For over 30 years, our doctors at HNSA have been part of the multidisciplinary trauma team. They take care of all patients with facial injuries seen at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, the busiest Level I Trauma Center in Oregon.

Patients from all over Oregon, Southern Washington, Northern California, and occasionally further, are transferred by air and land to have their critical injuries treated at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center. The hospital is designed and fully staffed to handle any trauma situation with maximum efficiency. Our doctors are on call 24/7/365 for management of these acute facial injuries and emergencies.

In addition to providing excellent care, part of our mission is to train the next generation of surgeons. In our Trauma Clinic, patients are evaluated by one of our surgical residents or fellows under the direct supervision of one of our attending surgeons. These residents are licensed dentists and/or physicians who are seeking specialty training in oral and maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology, or general surgery.

We provide 24/7/365 emergency care for acute facial injuries. Outpatient consultations and follow-ups are held at our Trauma Clinic on the Legacy Emanuel campus at 300 N. Graham St, Suite 125. The clinic is open every Friday from 9 a.m. to noon. Call 503-224-1371 to schedule.

Our team of specialists is dedicated to excellence in both clinical practice and surgical education.

Corrective Jaw Surgery in Portland

At Head & Neck Surgical Associates, we provide corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) to resolve congenital and developmental imbalances, such as overbites and underbites. This life-changing procedure realigns the jaw to improve function, speech, and facial symmetry.

Benefits of Jaw Correction

The Surgical Process

Our surgeons utilize intraoral incisions to avoid visible facial scarring. Whether performing a Sagittal Split Osteotomy (lower jaw), Le Fort I Osteotomy (upper jaw), or Chin Genioplasty, we coordinate closely with your orthodontist. The process typically involves pre-surgical orthodontics, the surgical procedure, and a recovery phase with a soft-food diet for 4–6 weeks.

Why Choose HNSA?

Choosing HNSA means selecting a team at the leading edge of oral-maxillofacial techniques. We serve patients seeking oral surgery near Gresham and Vancouver, WA, from our central Portland location. Our facility offers state-of-the-art technology and a commitment to patient safety.

Patient Convenience: We provide free, on-site parking at our Portland office, including designated bays for post-operative pickup to ensure a stress-free transition home.
