About me

Before joining OHSU, Dr. Faraz Ghoddusi was the chief medical information officer and an active-duty physician with the U.S. Air Force (where he was given the call sign “Unicorn”). He and his family moved around from base to base until finally settling here in Oregon.

Although Dr. Ghoddusi’s primary role at OHSU is with the Information Technology Group (ITG), his passion for patient care continues to bring him back to the clinic. He was steered toward family medicine because of the relationships he gets to build with his patients and their families. He has dedicated his career to addressing health care disparities through research and by working with state and federal leadership in establishing policies to do so.

When not in clinic or with the ITG, Dr. Ghoddusi enjoys spending time with his wife and three children.  And dance parties... he likes dance parties.

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.

  6. Dr Ghoddusi is fantastic. He provides complete care, listens well, and explains medical issues in an easy to understand way. The best!

  7. I'm always a bit nervous & anxious when seeing a provider I've never seen or associated with before. Dr. Ghoddusi got onto the call and for some reason, it just felt like he and I had seen each other a thousand times over a decades long period of time. It was quite incredible to be honest. I don't know if it was necessarily anything he did or didn't do but he made the entire encounter feel so comfortable and so routine. THESE are the providers that know the "care," part of "healthcare provider" and life it in the way they do everything, every day.

  8. Doctor Faraz Ghoddusi was wonderful again this time too. He is so kind, accommodating, understanding and patient, The steroid injections were as pain free as last time. He asked if I would allow his medical student to administer one of the injections. I happily agreed because I've always found the new students to be exceptional. Taylor did not disappoint. She was confident, professional and her administration of the injection was flawless.

  9. The doctor I seen was very concerned because I just had a death in my family and he showed me a lot of compassion and he was very sorry to hear about my situation and he didn't pressure me to sit there and just listen to him he listened to me and you heard every word I said and I loved it
