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

Patti Hanson specializes in midwifery and obstetrics, women's health and gynecology and colposcopy procedures. Her interest lies in ethics in decision making and the consent process in obstetrics. Patti loves working with families and helping guide them through stressful and exciting life events. She is honored to be present with women during labor and childbirth. For her, midwifery is a passion, not just a job.

Originally from the Philadelphia area, Patti moved to Oregon after attending school for midwifery in New York City. She chose to work at OHSU because she can practice the art of midwifery within a hospital system as well as teach the next generation of midwives. A nature lover, Patti loves to hike, ski and kayak with her husband and two children.

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.
