About me

Jordan practices general medical dermatology with a special interest in follicular occlusion diseases (hidradenitis suppurativa, acne, dissecting cellulitis). As part of OHSU's Melanoma Multidisciplinary Program, she also provides high-risk skin cancer screenings.

Jordan grew up in the Pacific Northwest but left to attend the University of Alabama on a softball scholarship. At Alabama, she helped lead the team to three Women’s College World Series appearances and received the Paul “Bear” Bryant Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award.  After graduation, she returned to Portland to attend OHSU’s physician assistant program.

Prior to joining OHSU’s Department of Dermatology, she practiced in the Salem area for over nine years where she enjoyed providing care to a diverse population of patients.

In her spare time, she enjoys hiking with her husband and dogs, taking enology classes, reading, and watching collegiate athletics.

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.
