Treatment options include medications, healthy lifestyle changes and referrals for cardiac procedures (catheterizations or surgeries) if needed.

He enjoys caring for patients from fetal life through adolescence, including partnering with parents and caregivers. Long-term relationships with patients and their families are the foundation of what he loves most about his job.

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.
