About me

I’m an orthopedic surgeon specializing in tumors of the musculoskeletal system, including both noncancerous and cancerous bone and soft tissue tumors.  

I partner with patients and their families to navigate complex diagnoses and treatment decisions, offering clear explanations and thoughtful guidance every step of the way. I strongly believe that the best care comes from collaborative planning with experts across specialties. At OHSU, these teams include medical and radiation oncology, radiology and rehabilitation providers to ensure comprehensive support tailored to each patient's needs.

I grew up in Portland and am proud to practice medicine in the community where I was raised.

Outside of work, I enjoy gardening in the Pacific Northwest climate, cooking and exploring local restaurants and farmers’ markets with my wife, son and our dog and cat.

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.
