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

With comprehensive specialty training, Dr. Otaki provides care for patients with a myriad of gastrointestinal symptoms and disease. His clinical interest and research projects are focused on the care of patients with a variety of esophageal diseases.  This has included Barrett’s esophagus, esophageal cancer, eosinophilic esophagitis, gastroesophageal reflux, achalasia and other esophageal motility abnormalities. 

He also performs several specialized procedures in his subspecialty: endoscopic mucosal resection, esophageal dilation, ablative therapies of the foregut (radiofrequency ablation, spray cryotherapy, balloon cryotherapy, argon plasma coagulation), reflux testing (including wireless testing), and high resolution esophageal manometry.

His training includes the use of novel diagnostic tools (confocal laser endomicroscopy, optical coherence tomography, impedance planimetry), and minimally invasive diagnostic tools (transnasal endoscopy, cytosponge).

Dr. Otaki’s ongoing research activities include the role of endoscopic therapy in the management of early esophageal cancer, systemic side effects of steroid based therapy in allergy mediated esophageal diseases, and optimal ablation strategies in the care of dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus.

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.
