About me
Marci Messerle-Forbes has a special interest in research, contraception and family planning, and colposcopy procedures. Her research focuses on contraception and family planning, menopause, pelvic pain and libido. Marci chose her specialty because of interactions she had with women who were unaware of their own healthcare choices and/or their contraception options. She especially enjoys getting to know patients and helping them learn about their health and bodies.
Originally from Coos Bay, Oregon, Marci completed several advanced degrees in Ohio before returning to Oregon. She came to OHSU in 2004. In her leisure time, she enjoys spending time with her friends and family, hiking, doing crafts and reading.

Insurance
Before scheduling an appointment
- 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.
- 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.
