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

Dr. Samantha Lyons is a resident physician who treats all primary care conditions, with a particular emphasis on a holistic approach to care. She loves paying attention to the small details of the larger picture in caring for a patient — taking into account that the best health plan results when patient and provider partner together. She has a background in ethics and is certified as a health care ethics consultant.

Outside of work, she spends time teaching yoga, playing with her dachshunds and watching anime. She also likes to travel, try new foods and explore nature wherever she finds herself.

Insurance

Before scheduling your appointment, we recommend you contact your insurance company to verify that the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is included in your network. Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any copayments, co–insurance, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with OHSU providers, your out of pocket liability may be higher. Visit the billing and insurance section of our site for more information.
