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 an interventional pulmonologist who specializes in lung and trachea conditions.

I do minimally invasive procedures for lung cancer diagnosis and staging.

I'm also medical director of OHSU’s incidental lung nodule program and co-director of lung cancer screening. As such, I have special interest in finding lung cancer early.

I provide:

  • Robotic navigation bronchoscopy, to diagnose lung nodules
  • Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), to diagnose lung cancer and other conditions
  • Therapeutic bronchoscopy, to treat blocked airways
  • Ultrasound-guided thoracentesis, to diagnose or treat fluid buildup in the chest
  • Tunneled pleural catheter placement, to treat fluid buildup in the chest

I spent six years as director of interventional pulmonology and lung cancer screening programs at the Richmond Veterans Administration Medical Center in Virginia. I joined OHSU in 2022.

It’s important to me to provide patients and families with empathy, expertise and reassurance at a stressful, vulnerable time. I enjoy working as part of a team with other specialists to provide high-quality care.

When my wife and I get a break from our busy work lives, we love to spend time with our four kids, enjoying beaches along the Oregon coast during summer. I also enjoy cooking at home, running, surfing and playing soccer and basketball with my son.

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.
