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 physician associate who specializes in the care of patients during and after plastic and reconstructive surgery. I assist in surgery and provide post-operative care, ensuring patients are comfortable and up-to-date about their healthcare journey.

One of the most rewarding parts of working with patients is building meaningful relationships and being part of their journey from start to finish. I enjoy getting to know my patients, hearing their stories and understanding what matters most to them. Being able to support them through some of their toughest moments and help them work toward their goals is what makes my job so fulfilling.

Before joining the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery team at OHSU, I worked as a physician associate in urology, where I discovered my love for surgery. Over time, I developed a deeper appreciation for the creativity, precision and artistry that go into surgical procedures, which ultimately led me to pursue plastic and reconstructive surgery. I'm excited to bring my surgical experience to this field and help patients feel more confident while improving their quality of life.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and exploring new countries, trying out new restaurants around Portland, running, hiking in the Columbia River Gorge and spending quality time with my 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.
