About me

I am a doctor who treats patients with blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma. I care for patients who need bone marrow transplants.

My clinical focus includes acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This is a fast-growing blood cancer in which there are too many immature white blood cells in the blood and bone marrow.

My research at OHSU focuses on:

  • Understanding signaling pathways (chemical reactions in a cell) and how they drive growth and resistance in acute leukemias
  • Identifying drug combinations that can target those pathways
  • Working toward new therapies that will make treatment for leukemia more effective and better tolerated for patients

In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my dogs, photography and traveling the world.

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. 

Visit our billing and insurance page for more information.
