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.

  7. Dr Ing is fabulous but overbooked.

  8. Efficient & pleasant. Moved through exam quickly and asked if we had any questions which she answered so quickly we had to clarify information to understand what was being told for us to follow through for 6 months.

  9. Dr Ing is compassionate, thorough, and knowledgeable. I am confident she has my health and well-being as top priority. I am fortunate to have her as my provider.

  10. Dr. Ing has successfully reduced my previously high eye pressures to safe, healthy levels with her skillful choice of medications. I completely trust her skills, knowledge and judgment. She is a keen listener, and communicates clearly. The positive energy she exudes is a gift.

  11. Highly competent and patient friendly.

  17. Dr. Ing is very friendly and helpful. She took care of my concerns and is very patient in explaining my issues.

  18. Knowledgeable. Knew all pertinent facts. Personable.

  19. Care quality and treatment effectiveness are positive. However, there are opportunities to improve patient communication and health literacy support:Information Access: Patients benefit from plain-language explanations and visual aids (diagrams, progression charts) alongside clinical chart data. Without these, understanding one's own condition requires specialized medical knowledge.Depth of Communication: When patients ask open-ended questions about their condition, more thorough responses help ensure informed participation in care. Patients shouldn't need to know the "right" questions to receive meaningful answers.Neurodivergent Awareness: Patients with ADHD may underweight subtly communicated risks. Clear, direct language about condition severity and consequences is especially critical for this population - understated messaging about serious conditions like glaucoma can contribute to delayed treatment and worse outcomes.Sharing this in hopes of improving communication practices for all patients.

  20. On time, listened, discussed/planned care. Very pleasant, efficient.

  21. She cares about how well you function with the vision you have. Concerned and informative.

  22. Always explains clearly. Provides the info I need and more. Top dac!

  23. Long time relationship with this provider. Unfortunately, today's visit was by far the most disappointing. The in room wait time to see her was way too long. When she arrived, it was clear she was not willing to spend more than the minimum amount of patient facing time. Questions were answered with minimal explanation and with the preception that she had minimal amount of time available. All in all, a disappointing and minimally productive experience.

  24. Knowledgeable, professional, sensitive to patience needs

  25. Very nice

  26. There was a bit of a lack of communication with staff and the provider. The fact various tests were conducted did not seemTo be related to the provider and I was in a room waiting for over an hour before someone finally came

  27. I arrived on time for check-in. The front desk notified me that there were a number of other patients ahead of me. I was brought back to one of the rooms where the doctor would see me. I sat in that room for 45 minutes waiting for Dr. Ing to see me. An assistant was with me in the room for much of that time

  28. Dr ing, is up to date with the latest developments concerning eye medicine.

  29. Pleasant, knowledgeable andEfficient

  30. I always feel comfortable and know that I'm being well cared for.
