Accepting new 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 hospitalist, which means I care for newborns, infants and children who need specialized support during their hospital stay. I have experience in treating:

  • Complications of prematurity
  • Complex medical conditions
  • Acute respiratory needs

I provide both nursery care and intensive care for newborns with complicated conditions. This often includes:

  • Advanced airway support
  • Careful nutrition planning
  • Coordination of complex care with a wide team of pediatric specialists

My goal is always to ensure that each child receives the safest, most effective and most compassionate care possible.

Much of my training took place on the East Coast, in a large safety-net hospitals; this strengthened my commitment to serving vulnerable families and improving access to quality health care.

I believe in partnering with families every step of the way. I’m passionate about helping parents understand their child’s condition, building confidence in their care plan and advocating together for the best possible outcomes. Increasing community health literacy is a core part of my approach.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, practicing yoga and spending time with friends and family.

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.
