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

I am an adolescent and young adult medicine doctor who treats adolescent and young adult patients, particularly concerning reproductive health concerns, menstrual symptoms and contraception.

Some treatments I offer my patients include IUD and Nexplanon procedures (placement and removal), routine screenings and pap smear testing.

Adolescents and young adults are my favorite people to talk to! I enjoy hearing my patients share their life experiences and viewpoints, and I value their honesty. I appreciate the chance to understand their health concerns and work with them to support their health and well-being.

I worked as a general pediatrician in Seattle for six years, and my experience at the Seattle Public Health Teen Clinic inspired me to specialize in adolescent and young adult medicine. After completing a fellowship at UCSF, I served on the faculty there for eight years. Then, I joined UCLA as a faculty member and became the Director of Adolescent and Young Adult Reproductive Health for another eight years. I am very excited to return to the Pacific Northwest!

When I’m not working, I like to see family and friends, attend orchestra performances, go outside and try to calm our barking dog.

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.
