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

Christine M. Eighmey is a pediatric surgery nurse practitioner and an instructor of surgery in the Division of Pediatric Surgery in the OHSU School of Medicine.

She works closely with patients and families who have been admitted to the hospital, working to provide excellent continuity of care for surgical and trauma patients. She has a special interest in helping children manage pain from medical procedures. She focuses on techniques to minimize anxiety and painful events, which are often part of the child's hospital experience. She especially enjoys helping families navigate through their children's hospital stay, with the goal of getting children home and back to their job of being kids.

Christine earned her master of education degree from Auburn, her master of science in nursing degree from the Vanderbilt University School of Nursing and her Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner certificate from Vanderbilt in 2000.  

When she's not working, Christine enjoys hiking, skiing, cycling and watching Southeastern Conference football with her husband and twin boys.

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.
