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

I’m a doctor who cares for patients in the intensive care unit. I treat patients with:

  • Septic shock (when a severe infection causes blood pressure to drop dangerously low)
  • Acute respiratory distress syndrome (when an illness or injury causes lungs to fill with fluid, making it hard to breathe)
  • Liver failure

I offer:

  • Hemodynamic support (a medical or mechanical means to help the heart and circulatory system)
  • Mechanical ventilation (use of a machine to help a patient breathe)
  • Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or ECMO (a treatment that supports the breathing and blood flow)

People and families experiencing critical illness need a cohesive team of professionals to support them in the intensive care unit. I enjoy being a part of this team. I connect with families and instruct students about the changes in the body that we address as a critical illness develops.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring Portland and beyond with family and friends.

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.
