Dr. Cathcart diagnoses and treats hormone conditions, including diabetes and thyroid disease. He also sees patients at Samaritan Health Center \u2013 Newport, Samaritan Medical Group Endocrinology \u2013 Lincoln City and Samaritan Specialty Clinic &#8211; Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Cathcart earned a bachelor\u2019s degree at University of Portland and a medical degree at Midwestern University. He completed residency training at Lutheran General Hospital &#8211; Advocate HealthCare and a fellowship in endocrinology at Oregon Health Sciences University School of Medicine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He became a doctor because he wanted a career that combined his knowledge of science with personal interaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMedicine is unique in the way we can help people every day,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Cathcart likes to solve puzzles, a skill he uses in his specialty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe body is always trying to bring things back to normal. So, if you understand those feedback loops, you can know what\u2019s going on and use that to help patients,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<br>\u201cOne of the things I like about endocrinology is taking care of patients long-term, maybe even a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After attending college and completing his training in Portland, Dr. Cathcart chose Oregon for his medical practice. He grew up in Spokane, Washington, and his parents were physicians there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love the culture of the Pacific Northwest, and I wanted to stay close to family,\u201d he said. \u201cMy relationships to friends and family are important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his free time, Dr. Cathcart enjoys playing board games, reading and traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is accepting new patients and can be reached by calling <a href=\"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/find-a-location\/samaritan-endocrinology-corvallis\/\">Samaritan Endocrinology &#8211; Corvallis<\/a>  at <a href=\"tel:541\u2011768\u20117900\">541\u2011768\u20117900<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<aside>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Steven-Cathcart-CO.jpg\" class=\"attachment-cta size-cta wp-post-image\" alt=\"Steven Cathcart smiling at the camera.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Steven-Cathcart-CO.jpg 360w, https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Steven-Cathcart-CO-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Steven-Cathcart-CO-120x100.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/figure>\t\t<\/aside>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Endocrinologist likes to solve puzzles.
