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.

  1. Everyone is very friendly

  2. Dr Ing satisfies all my eye needs. She helpful. She listens and she extremely knowledgeabe. Sometimes she is booked way beyond her capacity. Often because of "way too many emergency visits" in one day. Last year when I had an appointment, she had 6 emergency office visits to deal with. It put her behind, way behind. I waited 2.5 hours. And she way complete exhausted by the time she got to me. I would say that was not her fault but it's hard to wait 2.5 hours for an office call. This time I waited about 45 minutes. Not sure if that's normal. I know during and after the Pandemic I was waiting less that 15 minutes and that was delightful. I also love all the visiting docs and residents who come in while she is with other patients. They have time to give me lots of information about glaucoma and trabeculectomies. I ask lots of questions.

  3. I love Dr. Ing. Yes, it's true that I waited last appointment for nearly 3 hours for my 2 pm appointment because she had an emergency surgery, I was told. It wasn't my favorite thing to do, but if I had an eye emergency that required her immediate attention, I would want her to attend me too. Waiting is rarely an emergency in the clinic, even though inconvenient for more than a short time. I and others can afford to wait for her care, which is as important in emergencies as it is in routine care like mine. Everyone apologized profusely for the delay, but I reassured them that it was not a problem, and that I understood her patient's need. I would react the same again. She's worth waiting for!
