Accepting new 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 a urologist and cancer surgeon who treats patients with cancers of the genital and urinary organs, including prostate cancer.

I design new treatment plans for prostate cancer that has spread into nearby tissue or lymph nodes. These include chemotherapy combined with radiation therapy. They also include immunotherapy combined with hormone therapy.

My research interests include:

  • Understanding what makes cancer cells grow, which is key to better patient care
  • Improving how doctors find prostate cancer, including with MRI scans and machine learning (computer programs that learn from data)
  • Identifying Agent Orange, a chemical used in the Vietnam War, as a risk factor for aggressive prostate cancer

I am the chief of urology at the Portland VA Medical Center. I also lead the Veterans Affairs NAVIGATE program there. The program runs clinical trials for several types of cancer.

I have a strong interest in teaching. I feel the future of medicine depends on the continued growth in knowledge.

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.
