I believe in taking the time to truly listen to your concerns and answer all your questions thoroughly. My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable, informed and confident about your treatment plan.

With decades of nursing experience and advanced training, I bring a wealth of knowledge to your care. My clinical focus on orthopedic trauma means I have specialized expertise in treating complex injuries and ensuring optimal healing outcomes. I'm particularly attentive to monitoring your physical progress and making sure you receive appropriate follow-up care, including physical therapy referrals when needed.

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.
