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

Dr. Coakley is the chair of Diagnostic Radiology. He joined OHSU in August 2012 from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) where he was a professor in residence in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging in the UCSF School of Medicine. He was also chief of the Abdominal Imaging Section and vice chair for Clinical Services in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging.

Dr. Coakley received his medical degree in 1988 from the School of Medicine, University College Cork, Ireland. His postgraduate training includes an internship at Mercy Hospital in Cork, medical residency at Mater and St. Vincent’s Hospitals in Dublin, and radiology residency at Leicester teaching Hospitals in Leicester, England. Dr. Coakley was a fellow in body imaging at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center before joining UCSF in 1997. During a year away from UCSF in 2000–2001, he was assistant professor and director, body MRI, at Memorial Sloan-Kettering and Weill Medical College of Cornell University.

Dr. Coakley is an active clinician, teacher and researcher. He is involved in teaching at all levels, from medical students to postgraduate trainees. As Chair, he has worked to build productive teams, conduct successful recruitment, and develop a positive and equitable culture within the department. He has promoted distributed and inclusive governance, by significantly expanding and diversifying the departmental Executive Committee and by expanding the number and role of Vice Chairs. His scholarly activity includes a career total of just under $5M in NIH funding and over 270 peer-reviewed publications (Scopus h-index of 54). Since 2016, his research work has centered on developing a system that would allow for integrated endorectal MRI and in-bore targeted biopsy of the prostate, including the establishment of a small medical device company as an OHSU spin-off to attract small business grant funding. This reflects his longstanding interested in prostate cancer imaging and diagnosis. As a teacher, he finds educating the next generation of doctors to be both rewarding and stimulating, and is committed to involving young physicians in research.

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.
