Not currently accepting 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

Dr. Messer specializes in treating infections in organ and bone marrow transplant recipients, HIV patients and infections in the general population. Dr. Messer also has a particular interest in tropical diseases and studies viral diseases transmitted by mosquitoes. Dr. Messer finds working with vulnerable populations – those that are immunocompromised or living in the developing world - particularly challenging but also uniquely rewarding.

Dr. Messer enjoys spending time with his family, including his wife who is an epidemiologist and professor at Portland State University and his three teenage daughters. He is an avid alpine and backcountry skier and he and his wife enjoy running and cycling together. He takes a serious, but safely distant, interest in all of his daughters’ sports and academic activities. His creative outlets include photography and woodworking.

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.
