About me

Dr. Talman joined the Movement Disorders division at OHSU in the summer of 2019. She is enthusiastic about the opportunity to treat patients with a variety of movement disorders and strives to provide a team-based approach to patient care. She not only enjoys interacting with patients in the clinic setting, but also in the community through support groups and educational events.   

New to the Pacific Northwest, Dr. Talman and her husband look forward to exploring Portland and the surrounding area through hiking, running and eating.

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.

  3. I have been up at least twice a year to see this doctor. OHSU is easy to access. The staff in the entire building for neurology are very helpful and courteous. Dr. Tolman, her nurse assistant, and the student trainee that was observing we're all very professional and easy to talk to.
