Seek provider-to-provider advice

Call us at 503-346-0644. We are happy to connect you with an OHSU provider for one-on-one advice. Our friendly and professional referral specialists answer 24/7 to connect you with the physician or other provider you need.

^{Please note: When providing advice to you, OHSU physicians are not diagnosing a patient's condition, nor are they providing treatment to a patient. Thus, they are not establishing a physician-patient relationship. All treatment and diagnostic decisions remain with you, the treating provider, when an OHSU physician is providing advice to you.}
