Saravit DPC Opened in Portland, Oregon in May 2024

The founder and physician of Saravit DPC, Dr. Siatta Dunbar, is passionate about empowering patients to make smart investments in themselves through personalized lifestyle medicine prescriptions. After facing her own struggles with exhaustion, GI issues, and imbalance, Dr. Dunbar invested wholeheartedly in researching and adopting evidence-based wellness strategies. The result? A vibrant, energized, balanced life where she can model healthy living for her family and patients. Dr. Dunbar has worked hard to identify optimal living in sleep, nutrition, movement, stress management, and more.

I chose to leave my career in construction management for medicine because I wanted to have a relationship with my patients and provide care that was centered on prevention and vitality. Traditional fee for service medicine was the exact opposite and I felt like I was losing my soul continuing to practice transactional disease focused care.

 At Saravit Direct Health, Dr. Dunbar integrates health coaching, nutritional education, and a dedication to instilling lifelong healthy habits, enabling you to lead a life filled with abundance. Dr. Dunbar can empathize with her patients as she had faced for her own health struggles after losing her sister to metastatic breast cancer in 1997 and then losing her mother four years later to sudden cardiac arrest. Following that time, she fell into a deep depression and struggled to find purpose in her life. Slowly though she realized that living fully in her late sister and mother’s honor meant accepting 100% responsibility for her choices, which allowed her to start taking back control of my health.

I eventually chose to quit my full-time construction job and begin the process of applying to medical school to be a physician. I felt called to help others avoid preventable suffering and wanted to learn the science and art of prevention and healing. 

Dr. Dunbar is now a triple board-certified physician in Family Medicine, Sports Medicine, and Lifestyle Medicine. Her mission is to guide others to make smart self-investments through personalized lifestyle prescriptions and supportive coaching.

Dr. Dunbar is quite the inspiration. She even ran her first marathon at age 50!
