About me

I have been a surgical educator my entire career. I love the opportunity to solve complex problems involving the facial skeleton, including repairing injuries, providing symmetry to structures, and reconstructing missing components.

I love working with surgical learners and believe the educational process improves the quality of care provided to our patients -- both now and in the future.

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.
