About me

Dr. Barrett is a family medicine physician with a special interest in working with the Latino community, caring for adolescents, and practicing gender-affirming medicine. She became a primary care provider because she enjoys developing long-term relationships with her patients and working together to achieve their health care goals. Dr. Barrett values evidence-based medicine, teaching medical students and collaborating with other physicians in the care of her patients.

Outside of work, Dr. Barrett and her husband love to spend time with their rescue standard poodle. She enjoys growing tomatoes & flowers, reading fiction, staying active, 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. 

Visit our billing and insurance page for more information.
