William Toffler, MD
  • Family Practice with OB

William Toffler, MD is a Professor Emeritus of Family Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University where he taught for 34 years and had a wide scope of practice ranging from delivering babies to geriatric and palliative care. He is one of three co-founders of Holy Family Catholic Clinic and brings a wealth of experience to his patients within our Practice.

Dr. Toffler is also co-founder and National Director of Physicians for Compassionate Care Education Foundation (PCCEF), a non-profit that promotes compassionate care for severely ill patients without sanctioning or assisting their suicide. PCCEF physicians affirm an ethic based on the principle that all human life is inherently of value and that the physician’s roles are to heal illness, alleviate suffering, and provide comfort for the sick and dying. He has also been a member of the Physicians Resource Council at Focus on the Family for over 20 years.

He is committed to defending the long-standing, medical prohibition against doing harm. He is frequently invited to speak about these and other medical ethical issues at both national and international conferences. He is also often interviewed on television and radio including NPR, 60 Minutes, Good Morning America, as well as by international media in Canada, Australia, the UK and Japan.

He has 7 children and 22 grandchildren.

After further studies and training in Portland, San Diego, and Staten Island, he joined a large multispecialty clinic in the greater Portland area where he spent a decade as a primary care physician. For the next 3 years, he worked as a “traveling doctor” for underserved populations in Washington State. He enjoys the opportunity to practice medicine with other Catholic providers. In his free time, he enjoys hiking, reading, cooking, and gardening.

Grace is currently being trained in the Creighton Model System at St. Paul VI Institute as a medical consultant and practitioner. She has a passion for offering superior, life affirming health care to women, especially those struggling with infertility. Her decision to practice internal medicine in the office setting came while she was on her first medical mission in the Amazon region of Brazil with Helping Hands Medical Missions where she realized she wanted to serve patients as whole people: body, mind, and spirit. She creates long-term relationships with her patients assisting in healing in any way she can.

Michael Sherman, MD, PhD, is one of three co-founders of Holy Family Catholic Clinic. Creating the most pleasant patient experience possible by delivering superior medical care and outstanding customer service is the driving force behind Dr. Michael Sherman’s practice. “Medicine has been a natural culmination of my science training as a Ph.D. Chemist and living out my faith by serving the patients within my community.” His board certifications in both Internal Medicine and Pediatrics allow Dr. Sherman to be a specialist for both adults and children. Dr. Sherman loves spending time with his family and church community, and he enjoys many outdoor activities including hiking, backpacking, mountain climbing, boating and fishing. He attended Creighton University in Omaha, NE for Medical School and Residency. He has lived and practiced medicine in the Corvallis area since 2003.

  • Pediatrics
Kristin Burgher, MD
  • Family Practice with OB
  • Creighton NFP Instructor

Kristin Burgher, MD, is a board-certified family physician. She grew up in the Portland area and completed undergraduate studies at Gonzaga University. It was during a volunteer year in Haiti that she felt called to serve in the medical field. After earning her medical degree at Georgetown University, she completed residency training at Providence Milwaukie Family Medicine. She spent the next ten years at a federally qualified community health clinic in western Washington County providing primary care, prenatal care and inpatient obstetrical and newborn care. She is proficient in Spanish.

As she grew in her Catholic faith, she felt called to join the practice at Holy Family Catholic Clinic. Recognizing the need for authentic women’s health care that recognizes the goodness of women’s bodies and their fertility, she underwent training at St. Paul VI Institute as a FertilityCare Practitioner and NaPro Medical Consultant. This allows her to support women in tracking their cycles and use that information to diagnose and treat reproductive health problems.

Dr. Burgher’s primary vocation is to the married life, and she is homeschooling mother of four. She brings her passion for the dignity of the vocation of family life to her work as a physician, and she loves caring for patients of all ages and backgrounds.
