I have been a board-certified Physician Assistant with Lake Grove Family Practice for over 7 years now and I have loved watching the practice grow into what it has become and what the future holds. I have 19 years of experience in family medicine. I received my degree in physician assistant studies from Pacific University which is where I found that I liked treating all aspects of the patient’s health to be the most rewarding and being part of family practice, and with that, I can focus on the entire patient. I enjoy empowering patients through education and emphasizing preventive care. I have many interests that include diabetes management, women’s health, adolescent, and teen issues, and making sure their voices are heard. I like to create and make relationships with my patients as that allows me to make the best decisions regarding their health.

In my time away from the office, I enjoy spending my time with my husband(of 23 years), Dave. We have 3 children together that we enjoy an active lifestyle with, and we try to live life to its fullest. My hobbies include reading, traveling, and staying busy with the children’s sports.

I am the founder of Lake Grove Family Medical Clinic here in Lake Oswego, Oregon. I’m a Board-Certified Family Practice Doctor with over 35 years of quality health care experience with patients. I received my medical degree from the Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Des Moines, Iowa. Afterward, I completed an internship and residency at Des Moines General Hospital. As a specialist in family medicine, I believe in the whole-patient approach to integrative medicine. Each patient is a different individual with specific needs. In all my time in medicine, I have learned that the art of medicine is understanding that individual symptoms may be similar, but each person is different.

Along with being a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Senior Aviation Medical Examiner, I am trained to provide flight physicals and evaluations for the FAA. As a pilot myself, I enjoy working with other airmen. I have been a licensed pilot since 1974. I am an Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) who is certified by the FAA to provide all class physicals, including private pilot, air traffic control, and commercial/airline pilot medical certification. I have done extensive training in mental health and drug/alcohol recovery. As a result of these trainings and certifications, I am currently the only Human Intervention Motivation Study (HIMS Independent Medical Sponsor) IMS (Independent Medical Sponsor) in Oregon. HIMS is an occupational substance abuse treatment program specific to pilots.

When I am not spending time with patients and the office, you can find me raising my granddaughter with my wife, Debbie. In addition to raising three children, I spend my free time enjoying photography, white water rafting, scuba diving, and of course flying.

Dr. David Selby welcomes any individuals or families seeking high-quality medical services at Lake Grove Family Medical Clinic.

It is such a pleasure to be part of the team here at Lake Grove Family Medical. I was born and raised in California and have trained in many different places all over the country. I received my medical degree from St. George’s University in Grenada, West Indies and I completed my residency in family medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) affiliated BON Secours St. Francis Family Medicine Residency program.

My specialties include full spectrum family medicine and have had previous experience managing low- risk prenatal care. I love caring for all ages and have always had a special interest in preventive care, mental health, and women’s health. I have many different views and approaches to every patient’s wellness as it is important to treat the whole person, addressing not only the physical needs, but the emotional needs as well. I work well with my patients to help incorporate lifestyle changes and believe that it is important to work together as a team to help them achieve good health.

In my off time, I like to spend time with my family. I love traveling and learning new cultures, photography, cooking/eating, playing music, and crafting.
