Not currently accepting patients

No ratings to display.

Why aren't there any ratings?

There is no publicly available rating for this care provider for one of three reasons:

  1. They do not see patients.
  2. They see patients but have not yet received the minimum number of patient experience reviews. To be eligible for display, we require a minimum of 30 surveys. This ensures that the rating is statistically reliable and an accurate reflection of patient experience.
  3. They see patients but do not see enough patients to collect a statistically-reliable patient experience rating.

About me

Liz Portelance is an adult-gerontology acute care nurse practitioner in the Department of Neurological Surgery and works on the skull-base tumor team. Although nurse practitioners—one type of advanced practice provider—are able to practice medicine without direct supervision of a physician, in the Neurological Surgery department they work in tandem with other members of the highly-trained health care team to provide surgical services for patients. Liz works directly with the skull-base neurosurgeons to manage care of the team’s surgical patients.

Liz is an avid gardener, loves spending time outdoors enjoying the Pacific Northwest, and never tires of the amazing view from the OHSU tram.

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.
