About me

I’m an endocrinologist who treats adults with endocrinology diseases, and I’ve been dedicated to the field of medicine for over twenty years. I’m board-certified in both Internal Medicine and Endocrinology and offer treatment for patients experiencing issues such as:

As co-director of the OHSU Thyroid and Parathyroid Program, I work closely with patients to diagnose and treat various thyroid and parathyroid disorders.

My goal is to provide expert, compassionate care tailored to your needs. In addition to patient care, I’m involved in research on understanding how tumors spread at a molecular level.

I earned my M.D. and Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Connecticut in 1998. I completed my Internal Medicine residency at OHSU in 2000, followed by a fellowship in Endocrinology in 2003.

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.

  14. His explanation were extensive. I am very comfortable with that. I know some who would not be able to follow him. I appreciated his thoughtful and thorough assessment and consideration of my concerns. He gave lots of opportunities to ask questions and addressed my concerns.

  15. Have had an ongoing patient-doctor relationship over the years with Dr. Madison as he has been following thyroid nodules in my right lobe. He's incredibly thorough, pays attention to detail, shows warmth and concern, is unbelievably knowledgeable. He seems to have a great relationship with his staff as well as with ENT staff. Dr. Madison is a great asset to OHSU. Physicians like Dr. Madison are the reason why my husband and I chose and continue to choose OHSU for our health care.

  25. Dr. Madison is the first doctor who listened to ALL of the symptoms I've been experiencing for the last two years, followed up with detailed questions to confirm/rule out potential causes, recommended a series of tests, and then gave me a medication which provided relief within two days of starting to use it. I wish I had talked with him much earlier. Very attentive and perceptive doctor. Thank you.

  26. Dr. Madison is an extraordinarily knowledgeable physician. I always learn new things from him even though I've been seeing an endocrinologist (previously in Michigan) since 2916 when my thyroid was removed. In this most recent visit, I talked with him about a problem that I thought might be related to the thyroid's responsibility for regulating metabolism. He assured me that was not the case, but proceeded to suggest some actions I might try. He is one of my favorite doctors of all time (I'm 76 so I've seen quite a few MDs).

  27. He was very thorough. Took his time reviewing everything. Made me feel heard.

  28. I can't hear very well and she was so patient with me.

  30. Dr. Madison comes prepared to our appointment. Explains everything so well!!
