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

Dr. Drake’s research focuses on airway neurobiology and innate immunity in asthma, with a particular focus on Toll-like Receptors. Dr. Drake has shown that Toll-like Receptor 7 agonists act as a novel class of bronchodilators via the induction of nitric oxide. He has also shown that airway parasympathetic nerves express Toll-like Receptor 7. His current work focuses on the significance and mechanisms of Toll-like Receptor signaling on airway nerves in models of non-allergic and allergic airway inflammation.

Insurance

Before scheduling your appointment, we recommend you contact your insurance company to verify that the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is included in your network. Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any copayments, co–insurance, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with OHSU providers, your out of pocket liability may be higher.
