About me

I am a doctor specializing in caring for patients with liver disease. I work with patients in OHSU’s Digestive Health Services who seek care for conditions such as:

  • Hepatitis C
  • Fatty liver disease
  • Portal hypertension
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding

My goal is to provide thoughtful, evidence-based care while helping you better understand your health and treatment options. I also serve as the Director of Clinical Hepatology at OHSU. 

I believe in partnering with my patients to create care plans that are personalized, compassionate and easy to understand. Whether you are managing a chronic condition or seeking answers for new symptoms, I am here to support you every step of the way with services available through our gastroenterology clinic and Liver Care (Hepatology) program. For patients needing advanced care, we also collaborate closely with the OHSU Liver Transplant Program.

In addition to caring for patients, I am actively involved in research through OHSU’s research programs to improve how we prevent, diagnose and treat liver disease. I am often connected with opportunities in clinical trials at OHSU.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling and playing squash.

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 was in the surgery room before I knew it. I was back in the room.
