Not currently accepting 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

I am an orthodontist who provides care for patients with a variety of orthodontic needs. As an attending instructor in the graduate orthodontic clinic at the School of Dentistry, I work alongside orthodontic residents to provide high-quality patient care I enjoy helping our patients feel better about their smiles, while training the next generation of orthodontic specialists.

I enjoy bicycling in and around Portland, and when the opportunity arises, saltwater fishing for salmon. In the kitchen I look to try new recipes for Italian, Thai, Vietnamese, and French dishes.

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.
