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

I am a cancer specialist who focuses on developing new treatments for cancer. I run early-phase clinical trials, the first stage of testing in people. These trials evaluate treatments while ensuring high standards of patient safety.

I am the director of the Knight Cancer Institute. At the OHSU School of Medicine, I also lead the Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology, where we care for patients with cancer and blood disorders.

My husband is a chemist who creates new medicines. With me, he co-leads OHSU’s Center for Experimental Therapeutics, which is dedicated to finding new cancer treatments. Together, our goal is to find a cure for cancer.

We have a high school-aged daughter and middle school-aged son. I love to spend time with my family, read and go for long walks.

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.
