About me

Dr. Trubowitz has a background in AIDS oncology and lymphoproliferative disorders. She enjoys caring for people with cancer and their families as they navigate their way through an often daunting experience. She cares for the person as a whole, as an individual not as a disease, and works to engage the patient in his/her treatment plan to become partners in care.

Dr. Trubowitz immensely enjoys spending time with her family, including her husband and three children. With a children’s schedule that requires an excel worksheet to include squash, tennis, swimming, soccer, skiing, lacrosse, homework and travel, and anything new someone wants to try, they enjoy many great adventures together.

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.

  15. I've met with Phoebe Trubowiyz twice. She's very kind, attentive, knowledgeable and professional. Phoebe addresses all my questions and concerns.
