About me

I’m a family doctor who cares for all patients regardless of age, gender and pregnancy status.

I offer my patients:

My approach to care starts with listening and understanding what matters most to each patient. As an osteopathic doctor, I care for my patients as whole people. This includes looking at how their family, community and life experiences shape their health. I enjoy caring for families and getting to know people in the context of their lives.

I like supporting patients through important life changes. I especially enjoy pregnancy care and working with teens. The most rewarding part of my work is building lasting relationships with patients and families. I celebrate their successes and see them through difficult moments. 

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two children, traveling as a family, and trying new recipes. I also love live music, especially Pearl Jam concerts. Staying involved in my community through service is important to me.

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.

  13. Dr Skariah and his team have been consistently caring, professional, and diligent for the years we've seen them. I switched my insurance back to one that's taken at OHSU just to drive 25 minutes to Scappoose to return my care to Dr Skariah. This appointment was to review my new history during the break in my care and he was fully caught up on the notes, had plans, discussed options, listened to all my concerns and adjusted his suggestions based on what I shared, and explained everything he was doing and what was needed from me vesy clearly.
