After completing a B.A degree in neuroscience and behavior from New York, she moved to the west coast and received her M.D. and completed her ophthalmology residency and glaucoma fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco.

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.

  1. I came in early. The doctor saw me as soon as she could, even before my appointment was technically scheduled. I'm used to waiting hours for my local doctors. But here I truly felt like a priority, something she genuinely cared for and wanted to make better. The testing and nurses were all extremely kind as well. Even through my nervousness, they held professional patience and respect. Often reassuring me and offering advice. I left with a smile. Brought to tears with gratitude.
