He has been a clinical associate professor in OB/GYN at OHSU and served on advisory/medical committees for Good Samaritan Hospital, Planned Parenthood, Legacy and the Oregon Chapter of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Since 1999, Dr. Dow has focused exclusively on the gynecologic and surgical needs of his patients.

Dr. Dow has been a pioneer in endoscopic surgery, performing the first laparoscopic hysterectomy in Portland in 1990. He was the first physician in Oregon to use the hysteroscope for diagnosis and treatment of problems inside the uterus. He was also one of Portland’s first gynecologists formally certified as a menopausal clinician by the North American Menopause Society.
