Accepting new 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

Ellen Tilden specializes in the care of healthy women during pregnancy, labor, birth, and in addressing their gynecologic concerns and reproductive health care needs. She became a nurse-midwife because of her fascination with the childbearing cycle and the physical and emotional processes of becoming a parent.

In her leisure time, Ellen enjoys cooking, gardening, biking, traveling, and spending time with her husband, children, and community of friends.

Pregnancy and childbirth philosophy:

"Pregnancy and birth are predominantly healthy physiologic, personally profound life processes. My job is to support and celebrate these processes as well as recognize and address concerns when they arise."

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.
