About me

I am a pediatric gastroenterology doctor who treats children with all digestive system conditions. I have a special interest in eosinophilic esophagitis and other eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases. I am also interested in inflammatory bowel disease and effectively transitioning patients with chronic gastrointestinal conditions from pediatric to adult care.

I aim to approach the patient as a whole, within the context of their family, schooling, activities and other interests. I enjoy working with patients and their families in shared decision-making to help achieve the best outcomes for the patient.

Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two daughters, cooking, traveling, hiking and skiing.

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. 

Visit our billing and insurance page for more information.
