About me

I am a family medicine doctor who cares for patients of all ages. I treat people who need preventive and general care, as well as those with long-term (chronic) conditions. 

My interests include:

  • Long COVID
  • Cholesterol management
  • POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), a condition that can cause a fast heartbeat and dizziness
  • Tourette syndrome

I adore being a doctor and serving my patients. I focus on each person's quality of life, and I pride myself on clear, patient-centered communication. It starts with listening and caring deeply about each person, understanding their unique needs and values, and staying open at all times.

Before my career in medicine, I was an electrical engineer and a Peace Corps volunteer, serving two years in West Africa. 

In my spare time, I enjoy astronomy, studying foreign languages and playing music. I also like to cheer on my favorite sports teams and spend quality time with my family.

I use my volunteer time to advocate for the Tourette community. I serve on the Medical Advisory Board of the Tourette Association of America and on the board of Camp Twitch & Shout, a summer camp in Atlanta for kids living with Tourette syndrome. I also serve on the board of the Mittleman Jewish Community Center in Portland.

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.
