About me

I am a radiation oncologist who specializes in treating:

I take a caring and clear approach to patient care. I’m committed to providing state-of-the-art radiation therapy, tailored to your needs.

My commitment to advancing cancer care goes beyond the clinic. As chief medical officer at OHSU’s Cancer Early Detection Advanced Research Center, I’m at the forefront of innovative work. I am the lead investigator for multiple clinical trials looking into ways to detect cancer at its earliest stages.

I was born and raised in Norman, Oklahoma, home of the University of Oklahoma, where I majored in mechanical engineering. Beyond work, my heart lies with the great outdoors. My companion is a vintage 1990 VW camper van, which has been turned into a symbol of wanderlust and family adventures. I spend my downtime working on it to ensure that it's ready for the next adventure.

Here's how to say my name.

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.
