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 an oncologist who cares for adults with breast and gynecologic cancers.

I provide treatments such as external beam radiation therapy and high-dose rate brachytherapy.

My goal is to provide the highest quality of cancer care by building strong, trusting relationships and guiding patients through their cancer journey with personalized and compassionate treatment. I want every patient to feel informed, supported and confident in their plan of care.

I completed both my medical and doctoral degrees at OHSU before my residency in radiation oncology at Baylor College of Medicine, followed by fellowship training in brachytherapy. In addition to caring for patients, I’m active in research and education, focusing on survival prediction and risk stratification in gynecologic cancers.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three children, as well as running, hiking, camping and reading.

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.
