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.

  24. The doctor tookThe time listen to my issues and provided appropriate treatment

  25. She is a very good listener and explains concepts in an easy to understand way

  26. I felt uncomfortable that she commented on the brand of my underwear and that they seemed like comfortable underwear. Also that she mentioned she had just seen a patient with a skin cancer diagnosis, which did not seem HIPPAA compliant. It was also awkward to be asked to stand while my full body skin check was completed rather than laying down as I have with other providers. I felt the check was not as thorough as with other providers and was conducted in a very short amount of time. I also felt my personal and family history of skin cancer was dismissed when I was told I would be changed to yearly skin checks and was told by her that the spots for patients "need to go to people who deserve it like the patient I just saw."

  27. Jordan was very thorough and she had great bedside manner. She answered my questions concisely and diagnosed the skin issues I am having.

  28. Competent, friendly and easy to talk to
