Patrick Dahl, PA-C
If OSPA gave out loyalty badges, Pat Dahl would already have the ten-year pin. He’s been a regular at the Fall Conference for at least a decade, showing up with the same mix of curiosity, humility, and humor that makes him a favorite in any hallway conversation.
Pat’s clinical path began with hands-on rehab as a Physical Therapy Assistant. He later earned his Master of Physician Assistant Studies from Rocky Mountain College and built a ten-year career in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics with Oregon Medical Group in Eugene, juggling chronic disease management, urgent care shifts, and the controlled chaos of team-based medicine. Today, he works at Oregon Urology Institute in Springfield, where he focuses on bladder and prostate cancers, bringing equal parts steadiness, empathy, and clinical sharpness to patients navigating some of the toughest diagnoses of their lives.
When Pat clocks out, life gets wonderfully loud. He’s a dad of four, married to an equally awesome wife. Off-duty Pat can usually be found chasing fish, chasing birdies on the golf course, or chasing the next great audiobook. His recent favorite? Jurassic Park, because even urology benefits from a dose of dinosaurs now and then.
Pat shows up for his patients, his colleagues, his family, and his profession. OSPA is lucky to have him in our community, and we’re thrilled to feature him this month.
