About me

I am a doctor who specializes in caring for people with blood cancers such as leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. Myelodysplastic syndrome is a type of blood cancer in which the bone marrow doesn’t make enough healthy blood cells. Some of my patients may need bone marrow or stem cell transplants.

I am interested in helping patients make good decisions about their treatment options and supporting them through a difficult time.

Outside of work, I enjoy walks in the woods and time with my husband and three daughters. I also have a large dog, Baxter, who shares my love for the outdoors. I like to run to clear my head, and I love cooking for my family.

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. 

Visit our billing and insurance page for more information.
