About me

I am a medical oncologist who specializes in diagnosing and treating adults with cancers of the digestive (gastrointestinal) tract:

I am dedicated to your care and seek to offer the latest treatments through clinical trials. I have focused my work on new treatments that improve patient care and quality of life.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family exploring the beautiful outdoors. We love hiking, climbing and jogging. I also enjoy the diverse and amazing food that Portland offers.

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. 

Visit our billing and insurance page for more information.
