Dr. D.J. Polzin is a physician based in Eugene, Oregon, specializing in Family Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment. His practice is uniquely holistic, combining osteopathy, lifestyle medicine, dietary practices, plant medicine, and western medicine. This integrative approach is designed to empower patients to harness their own innate healing abilities, fostering recovery and well-being through a balanced treatment model.
Dr. Polzin’s connection with plant medicine began during his tenure as a wilderness EMT and was further developed through his extensive clinical experiences across Washington, Alaska, California, Idaho, Arizona, and Oregon.

In addition to mental health counseling, telemedicine services, and clinical visits, he also offers personalized hands-on healing sessions, ensuring a comprehensive approach to health care.
Dr. Polzin is the author of "The Healthy Nomad Handbook," a guide to wellness for travelers, and "Breaking Through the Crowd: Conquering Crowd Anxiety." His publications reflect his dedication to addressing both physical and psychological aspects of health.
In August 2024, Dr. Polzin will begin a new role as a primary care physician in Eugene, Oregon. In this position, he plans to utilize his multifaceted approach to further empower patients to improve their health.
