David W Bliss, MD

After being extremely ill, Dr. Bliss performed an emergency surgery on my bowel perforation. He diagnosed me with Crohn's Disease. At the time, I was only 16 years old and I required 2 additional surgeries in which Dr. Bliss performed. Dr Bliss is extremely patient, caring,and witty. He helped me cope with the diagnosis of Crohn's, which was very difficult for me at the time. He is an amazing surgeon, and I am thankful that he saved my life. I miss the fact that he is no longer in Portland, OR. But I still communicate and try to stay in touch with him.

I cannot recommend Dr David Bliss more highly. He met with us about 1 week after we received the diagnosis that our 20 week fetus had a congenital diaphragmatic hernia and he was amazing. He was caring and empathetic and took his time explaining her condition and what to expect. He made everything very understandable and he gave us hope. Initially, we were told our CDH babies had only a 40% chance of survival - Dr Bliss says it is more like 75-80%. After meeting one other pediatric surgeon in the area, we decided Dr Bliss would be the one we wanted to do the operation. Between his skill and his bedside manner- he was the one we wanted to go through this experience with. During the 19 days it took for our daughter to stabilize he was wonderful. He has operated on our daughter twice now and she is now a healthy, happy 10 month old and I will forever be grateful to this man. You are in excellent hands with him. Also, there are not many surgeons with his gentle bedside manner. He is so… caring and sweet with the children, and patient and understanding with the parents. I have met many pediatric surgeons and he is truly one of a kind.

Excellent doctor, very caring, the best surgeron in Portland
