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 am a pediatric dentist specializing in the care of children with medically complex conditions and special healthcare needs.

I’m dedicated to helping my young patients feel comfortable, safe and supported during their dental visits. I hope to create a positive experience that builds trust and lifelong healthy habits.

As a lifelong learner and educator, my research at OHSU focuses on the microbiome and host interactions in oral health and disease. I’m also passionate about improving how medical and dental teams work together to care for patients with complex medical needs or disabilities. I encourage my students to see each patient as a whole person and to support them fully on their journey toward better health.

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.
