About me

Dr. Turner has specialized in pediatric pain management since 2001. She has worked with children and families most of her nursing career. Helen sees patients in the hospital as well as in the outpatient clinic. She enjoys working with the interprofessional pain management team to help children and parents understand their pain problem and how to minimize the impact it has on their lives.

When she isn’t at work, Helen can generally be found in her garden or hanging out with her family.

Insurance

Before scheduling your appointment, we recommend you contact your insurance company to verify that the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is included in your network. Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any copayments, co–insurance, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with OHSU providers, your out of pocket liability may be higher. Visit the billing and insurance section of our site for more information.
