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'm a nurse practitioner specializing in neurocritical care, and I work with critically ill patients in the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit (Neuro ICU) at OHSU.

As a neurocritical care provider, my role is to be at the bedside for patients experiencing the most serious and life-threatening conditions affecting the brain and nervous system, including:

  • Stroke
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Brain bleeds
  • Seizures
  • Spinal cord injuries

Working closely alongside physicians, nurses, and the rest of the care team, I help monitor patients around the clock, manage complex medications and treatments and make rapid decisions that can have a profound impact on recovery.

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.
