About me

 My goal is to improve my patients' quality of life by helping them solve their hip and knee complaints. I am dedicated to providing comprehensive operative and non-operative care. My approach is to avoid surgery when possible and provide safe, effective surgery when necessary. I want my patients to feel empowered to participate in their orthopaedic treatment plans. I want to help my patients' achieve their functional goals and restore or maintain a healthy and happy active lifestyle. Joint replacements are effective surgeries that can transform people's lives from debilitated to nearly pain-free and it is an honor to provide this service to my community.

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.
