About me
I am an internist with subspecialty training in hospice and palliative medicine and addiction medicine. I am interested in the care of those with serious illness and substance use disorder. I also provide care to adult patients regarding:
- End of life care
- Pain management
- Physical and psychological impact of cancer and cancer treatment
I value approaching patients' stories with curiosity and making a plan together that is sensitive to their life experiences and current complexities.

Insurance
Before scheduling an appointment
- 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.
- 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.
