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

Alex Nydahl is a PA helping to support and care for patients in the hospital setting. He works to meet patients where they are in their understanding of their disease, prioritizing their autonomy and working toward the goals they set.

He gained valuable clinical experience volunteering at Outside In and working as a medical assistant at Planned Parenthood of the Columbia Willamette before joining the PA program at OHSU. At OHSU, he worked for seven years as a hospitalist PA, spending part of that time with the IMPACT Addiction Medicine Consult Service. He is grateful for the opportunity to shift his focus and join the Palliative group full time.

Outside of work, he enjoys running, biking, cooking and travel.

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.
