About me

I’m Courtney Lauer, a Physician Assistant specializing in reproductive health, diabetes, and preventative health. I provide treatments such as gender-affirming care, contraceptive care, laceration repair, abscess incision and drainage, skin biopsies, and joint injections and aspirations.

I value genuine relationships with my patients and approach each person individually, meeting them wherever they are on their healthcare journey. My goal is to assist patients in reaching their health goals by empowering them with the knowledge, resources, and care they need.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, running, playing and watching soccer (Go Timbers!), camping, and traveling whenever I get the chance.

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.
