Overview

Justin Pavlovich, MD, is a board-certified otolaryngologist with more than 15 years of experience treating general ear, nose and throat (ENT) concerns.Dr. Pavlovich takes a whole-person approach to care, understanding the impact a person’s psychosocial and systemic health can have on their ENT symptoms. His goal is to listen carefully to his patients, to address each patient’s questions and concerns as fully as possible, and to devise a plan of care collaboratively so both he and his patient take ownership of the therapeutic plan for greater compliance and better results. Dr. Pavlovich tries to exhaust nonsurgical options before making surgical recommendations. He encourages his patients to communicate with him through MyChart, where they can review their results and actively participate in their treatment plan.From 2014 to 2025, Dr. Pavlovich was named a Portland “Top Doc” each year by Portland Monthly. He prides himself on being readily available to respond to pressing questions or urgent referrals.Away from work, Dr. Pavlovich enjoys adventure travel, cooking, riding his bike (often to work), skiing and gardening.

Dr. Pavlovich is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Thyroid Nodule. His top areas of expertise are Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP), Nasal Flaring, Nasal Polyps, and Tonsil Stones.
