About me

I’m a dermatologist. Much of my career has been spent caring for patients with skin conditions related to health issues such as:

  • Cancer
  • Blood disorders
  • Endocrine problems

My clinical focus is contact and occupational dermatitis. I have special training in immunodermatology. This is the study of skin conditions caused by a compromised immune system response.

I offer allergy patch testing to my patients with chronic dermatitis.

I’ve served in leadership roles in many professional organizations. I’m a former member of the American Academy of Dermatology’s board of directors. Since then, I’ve worked with the academy on healthcare reform. My goal is better access to high-quality care for all.

Outside of work, I enjoy the outdoors, cycling and skiing. I also like dining with friends at the many wonderful restaurants in the Portland area.

Insurance

Before scheduling an appointment

  1. Check your network. If you have health insurance,  call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
  2. Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.

If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.
