About me
Wakaba immigrated to Oregon at 8-years-old from Japan and lived in the Portland Metro Area ever since. She attended University of Portland for her undergraduate degree in biology and completed her medical degree at OHSU. In between, she researched epilepsy with the Legacy Research Institute and volunteered at KP Westside Medical Center. She chose family medicine because her family doctor was the one who helped her and her family, and she hopes she can give back to the community in the same way her doctor did.
Outside of work, she likes to play video games, go hiking, and draw.

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.
