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.

The patient ratings score is an average of all responses to the question "How likely would you be to recommend this provider to your family and friends (on a scale of 0 to 10)" on our nationally-recognized NRC patient surveys.

  1. Dr. Naugler is an outstanding surgeon and doctor. His "bedside manner" is impeccable. He listens, explains and gives very direct feedback to the patient. I feel very confident that my medical care is being managed extremely well.

  2. Very easy to talk with and helpful with any concerns.

  3. Very caring, asked questions and listened to my answers.

  4. Very responsive and I felt that he'd looked at my chart in this past year.

  5. Very respectful and understands my health goals.

  6. It's really hard to get an actual in-person appointment with this clinician. I know they are overwhelmed and busy but with what I have had done and the symptoms I have been experiencing, it would be much better to be seen in person and faster than what I was.

  7. Dr. Naugler is a compassionate listener. He works as a team with the patient to achieve their best healthcare. He's willing to think outside the box

  8. Dr Naugler was very kind and caring and explained everything in great detail. I would recommend him to anyone.

  9. Everyone at OHSU was incredibly nice, warm and knowledgeable.

  10. Dr Naugler provided excellent care for me. He (and his assistant) were professional, knowledgeable, caring, and helped me understand some complex and difficult issues. I can't praise him enough!

  11. Excellent. Proud of my team! Great group and Dr Nagler is awesome

  12. He made me feel like I had no hope ,I cried for two days!

  13. I was very happy with his compassion and empathy for my situation. He was very detailed on what his assessment was and my options but now that 2 weeks has passed, I still have nothing on my, my chart about my appt or that I even was there, I can't leave a message w asst to ask if an appt w the surgeon he wants me to see has even been started. I'm very leary that out of sight out of mind will happen since I had a terrible experience even to be seen.

  14. He was very nice and knowledgeable and explained everything to us.
