Not currently accepting patients

No ratings to display.

Why aren't there any ratings?

There is no publicly available rating for this care provider for one of three reasons:

  1. They do not see patients.
  2. They see patients but have not yet received the minimum number of patient experience reviews. To be eligible for display, we require a minimum of 30 surveys. This ensures that the rating is statistically reliable and an accurate reflection of patient experience.
  3. They see patients but do not see enough patients to collect a statistically-reliable patient experience rating.

About me

I am a pediatric neurologist who specializes in caring for children with epilepsy. I have advanced training in comprehensive epilepsy care, including medical management, interpretation of EEGs (electroencephalograms) and the evaluation and management of children for epilepsy surgery. 

I am also involved in the direction of many clinical research trials exploring new treatments for epilepsy in children, and I delivered the first gene therapy ever given to a person with epilepsy under a clinical protocol.

I came to OHSU in 2001 and founded the Doernbecher Childhood Epilepsy Program, which has grown to become one of the most prominent centers for the treatment of epilepsy in the Pacific Northwest. 

While still a Philly native, I no longer cries when watching Rocky movies. When not at work, I enjoy engaging with the architectural and cultural history of Portland, fixing vintage cars and attending as many live music events as possible.

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.
