Insurance
Before scheduling an appointment
- 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.
- 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.

He was nice and understandable
The nurse and doctor were very professional and spoke to me in a way that was understandable.
She was friendly and took a away my worry
The service is very good
Excellent conduct with patient.
He is always willing to answer questions in a way that I understand. Makes an effort to connect with my son on a personal level (eg what grade is he in, sports, etc). Doesn't seem rushed or impatient like many providers these days.
The best one I've ever been to. Actually listened to my problems and concerns
He explained everything to me very well so that I could understand it
He was wonderful, he listen, he explained, very friendly.
Staff was friendly and efficient. We appreciated the Doctor taking time to answer questions and it didn't feel rushed. We appreciate the additional screenings to gather more information about the health of our child's heart.
We appreciate the time he spent answering questions. The appointment didn't feel hurried or rushed and we were able to get in to have the ultrasound done on her heart right then with him following up right afterward which was great since we were already there.
Very knowledgeable
He was knowledgeable and relatable to my teen and created an atmosphere where my child felt at ease asking questions
We have always had a good experience at this location. Most are kind and friendly.
Fantastic! Very kind and listened as well as explained everything to be able to understand.
Good experience
