About me

Dr. Pusateri specializes in caring for adults with solid tumor and blood cancers. She also provides care for adults with non-cancerous blood disorders. She chose to specialize in cancer care because she started her career as an oncology nurse and is passionate about providing patient-centered care. Her research interests are focused on reducing emergency visits for cancer patients and improving access to cancer treatment in the community.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Pusateri and her partner enjoy hiking and snowshoeing with their two dogs and attending Portland Thorns games with her step-daughter. She is originally from Chicago and returns there several times per year to see her family.

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.
