About me
Dr. Roberts specializes in caring for children with epilepsy. He has advanced training in comprehensive epilepsy care, including medical management, interpretation of EEGs (electroencephalograms) and the evaluation and management of children for epilepsy surgery. He is involved in the direction of many clinical research trials exploring new treatments for epilepsy in children, and delivered the first gene therapy ever given to a person with epilepsy under a clinical protocol.
Dr. Roberts completed his neurology residency and epilepsy fellowship at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He 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, he no longer cries when watching Rocky movies.
When not at work, Dr. Roberts enjoys engaging with the architectural and cultural history of Portland, fixing vintage cars, and attending as many live music events as possible.

Before scheduling an appointment
- 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.
- 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.
