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 a dermatologist, meaning I diagnose and treat skin problems. I specialize in caring for patients with skin cancer, particularly melanoma, a form of cancer that begins in cells that make the pigment melanin. I also treat the rashes caused by skin cancer treatments.

My research at OHSU focuses on finding earlier signs of melanoma and other cancers. My research also looks at the genes and molecules in cancer cells. My goal is to use what we learn to personalize each patient’s care.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and son. I like to explore the great outdoors, both in the Portland area and the greater Pacific Northwest.

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.
