About me

I am a hepatologist who specializes in liver diseases, including liver transplantation. I am particularly interested in managing fatty liver disease. My research focuses on how diet, lifestyle and metabolism influence the risk of developing liver conditions.

At OHSU, I collaborate with exceptional hepatology and transplant teams to provide comprehensive care for patients with all liver conditions. I am privileged to care for patients with liver disease and am committed to providing the personalized, complex care they need.

I am a New Jersey native and an avid sports fan, especially of ice hockey, football and soccer. In our free time, my wife and I enjoy hiking and exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

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.

  7. Dr. Wilechansky was very professional, informative and kind.

  8. Very helpful

  9. Everything was explained and questions were answered. I vaguely remembered the discussion, but thankfully my wife took notes and we discussed it a couple of days later.

  10. There were apparently two different physicians involved with my procedure. The one I had the most conscious contact with, Dr. W., was very reassuring and patient with questions.

  11. He was thorough and answered all our questions.

  13. I was very happy with my procedure and care.

  14. He explains himself very well and has patience with the client

  15. He is a great Role Model for doctors. He kept eye contact with me when talking. He wasn't just checking off the to do list, actually listening to the patient!

  16. I was treated with great respect, I was explained in the smallest detail about the procedure.

  17. Awsome!

  18. The clinician was forthcoming and describing the procedure and the pitfalls. Though I was sedated copy of the entire procedure was given to my brother and later I could go over it in detail. It was extremely thorough. Bedside Manor was outstanding.

  19. Everything went well. Very happy with the care received.

  20. I have had several colonoscopies at this facilty. The Doctors and nursing staff went above and beyond to be sure I was comfortable and the procedure went very well.

  21. Dr. Wilechansky was very tactful, professional, and transparent with me. I appreciated his demeanor and straightforwardness - from being greeted in the operating room to post-procedure synopsis while in the recovery area. His physician-patient communication is great. When being treated by a new practitioner the first time this is of paramount importance to me. He provided what I consider a high level of care that I would expect from OHSU. Additionally, it was nice to connect with a fellow East Coast, Tri-State person in Portland.

  22. I think OHSU rocks.

  23. Thoughtful, professional. I had total confidence in the whole care team.

  24. He is new to OHSU, so he is trying to get to know staff and patients.

  28. I felt the surgery and care I got at OHSU for my problem was very good.

  29. He listened to all of my questions and answered them. If he didn't have an answer, he got that answer before I left and returned with it.

  30. Very professional and informative
