Not currently accepting 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 primary care doctor who specializes in addiction medicine. I lead the Section on Addiction Medicine at OHSU and study ways to treat and prevent addiction. 

As a scientist, I am one of the leading researchers working with the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network. This is a nationwide research program that tests addiction treatments in different health care settings. These include new treatments for opioid, methamphetamine and cocaine use disorders.

I began my career treating people with HIV and have studied treating addiction in HIV clinics. 

My research includes:

  • Studying the medication naltrexone to treat opioid or alcohol addictions in patients at North American HIV clinics
  • Using another addiction medication, buprenorphine, to treat patients with an opioid addiction at HIV clinics in Vietnam
  • Working to prevent drug overdoses in rural Oregon as part of the OHSU-led Oregon HOPE project
  • Studying whether peers, or people with experience with addiction and recovery, can help keep rural residents who use drugs in clinical trials

I have received several honors related to my HIV and addiction research, including serving as a Fulbright Scholar in Vietnam and later a Senior Scholar in Spain.

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.
