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’m a radiologist with specialized training in vascular and Interventional Radiology. I care for patients with liver and kidney cancers and other complex conditions involving the liver, kidneys, and blood vessels.

I use image-guided, minimally invasive procedures to treat a wide range of conditions, with a focus on interventional oncology, prostate artery embolization and treatments for portal hypertension.

Some treatments I offer include thermal ablation (such as microwave or cryoablation), transarterial radioembolization, chemoembolization and other targeted therapies that can help manage tumors and improve quality of life.

I believe in a compassionate, whole-person approach to medicine and am committed to working closely with each patient to find the best treatment plan for them.

Outside of work, my partner Melinda and I love exploring the outdoors. You’ll often find us hiking, skiing (and après-skiing!), swimming in lakes or enjoying a relaxing weekend of car camping—with all the amenities. We’re also big fans of spicy Michelada.

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.
