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. 

Visit our billing and insurance page for more information.

  9. Very professional

  10. Good experience. Clear explanation of my issues

  11. Great visit Thanks

  12. Would like to have reviewed imaging more thoroughly with respect to severity, and likelihood of success with conservative treatment. Wasn't really given a chance to convey how life-changing this injury has been. The whole experience felt impersonal and transactional.

  13. She was very impressive. She seemed sure of her self and the explanations were very clear. She answered questions asked, very clearly and didn't give the feeling that I was being rushed through the conversation.

  14. Everything was fine. She was attentive, responsive, addressed my questions, provided helpful guidance moving forward.

  15. She's excellent. I trust her personally as well as her knowledge and skills

  16. Dr brown is great and very informative

  17. Excellent

  18. She was okay. Kept us waiting a bit. Seemed more concerned with paperwork and less about us (my husband was with me). She did an adequate job, but nothing exceptional.

  19. Although she couldn't provide a solution herself, she referred us to where we get help. She was very compassionate about the pain

  20. It was good but still didn't fully get help I went there to get help with my pain and got nothing no meds nothing

  21. Very wonderfully good- 5 Stars

  22. Very poor and I don't want anyone go through what I did!!!

  23. Third time she is wonderful

  24. Do not feel like she was very compassionate about the severity of my pain or my situation

  25. Dr. Brown is absolutely amazing. I wish she could be my surgeon truthfully she is so helpful and checks in about how I am doing. Highly recommend.

  26. The service is great. They got you in very fast

  27. Kristle makes me feel listened to and confident in her care

  28. She's very personable, caring & able to empathize & describe my issues. I appreciate her so much! She put my fears to rest & even tho' she saw nothing that she could change, she's still going to continue to see if there's another yest that might show issues.

  29. Kristle was knowledgeable and attentive.
