About me

Dr. Modiano serves as director of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Program at OHSU. He specializes in the treatment of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. After earning a Bachelor’s degree from Yale University, he continued at Yale for advanced graduate training in immunology and for his medical school education. He completed his residency in internal medicine at Stanford University. He trained at one of the world’s leading IBD centers, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and completed the joint gastroenterology fellowship program at UCLA and Cedars-Sinai.

His interest in the cultural dimensions of patient care has led him to work at a hospital in Botswana, Africa and in the Indian Health Service as part of his training, and to lead a course on The Healer’s Art. He is passionate about patient care and about bringing the best that medical science has to offer for his patients.

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.
