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.

Just wonderful experience compared to other facilities
Very professional and helpful.
Dr. KARK has been one of the first surgeons who still has a humanistic side and is not filled with ego. He leaves me feeling like he really cares and wants to help his patients.
Answered my questions,well and listened to my preferences
Very easy to talk to and spoke with me in language that was easy to understand, no technical terms that I would not understand
Dr.Kark is the best. Very professional and compassionate to my needs. Can't say enough good things about this him.
Very thorough explaining who what why and how
I don't know what to say they don't know how to take care of people that are in pain
You guys are top notch, thanks so much for All you do
It's a very comfortable place to be
Very attentive, listened to my concerns. Was thoroughly aware of my medical history. Explained things well.
Very attentive and address my concerns
Dr Kark is a remarkable physician/ surgeon who listens carefully, examines the data from all testing, and especially MRIs, to find the problems, create solutions, and communicate the proposals to patients in plain English, and with a positive, hopeful, demeanor.
The very best!!! On time, friendly! Xrays were taken- fast and easy- amazing information with Xrays circling around my body.
Both Dr Kark & Dr Gerhling were extremely informative, kind, empathetic, personable, and knowledgeable about my condition and the options to treat it. They took plenty of time with me and never made me feel rushed or judged in any way which, as a female patient with unusual medical problems, is very rare!
Overall everything went very well as long as staff and Dr went. The overall process from starting point to get surgery was a very long process. 2yrs overall.
Superb
I feel very confident in Dr. Kark's knowledge, professionalism, and abilities.Plus, he is down to earth and very reasonable.
She was just fine and got me taken care of to see Dr. Kark quickly which we appreciated! Dr. Kark was AWESOME!!
Dr Kark is attentive and good natured. He always listens and responds to questions and does not make me feel like he has one foot out the door. He is yet another OHSU provider who is top of the line. Such a nice guy.
Good
