About me

Ryan Cummings is a FNP seeing patients in the wound center at OHSU. He is passionate about wound management and patient care.

Chronic wounds are an exponentially growing concern, considering the prevalence of comorbid health conditions that contribute to non-healing. By expertly managing wounds and understanding how these conditions impact the ability to heal, we restore health, dignity and quality of life to the individuals they impact. Wound care is emerging as an evidence-based field in its own right, demanding specialists who understand its nuances and are prepared to advocate for its advancement and train future providers to be better prepared to address disrupted healing.  

Additionally, as chronic disease and successful measures for sustaining life in severely ill pediatric patients become more prevalent, non-healing wounds are becoming alarmingly common in this population. Ryan has the extreme privilege of serving this patient group as one of few pediatric wound specialist nurse practitioners, and hopes to contribute to the expansion of this service line during the course of his career.

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.

Ratings and reviews

Overall: 4.6 out of 5 (55 Ratings, 21 Reviews)

  1. This has been going on for a year and a half. We finally came to OHSU wound care clinic, hoping to get a better understanding of what's going on, why is it that this wound won't heal? We just started so we may rate things higher if we see some improvement. We're hoping for higher level of medical knowledge and response from OHSU. My son needs somebody to explain to him in medical terms what is going on to have a better understanding. So far we haven't learned anything new except maybe that there might be poor circulation around the wound. We will be patient with the process and recommendations for care.
