About me

Dr. Starosta is a clinical and biochemical geneticist who sees pediatric and adult patients with a wide variety of genetic and metabolic conditions. He is particularly interested in seeing patients with lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) and congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs), as well as any patient with an inherited disorder that requires complex and comprehensive medical care. His research focuses on discovering novel treatments for inherited metabolic disorders, especially LSDs and CDGs; and integrating evidence-based medicine into Medical Genetics, including exploring the role of novel genomic technologies such as whole genome sequencing and multi-omics in clinical practice.

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.
