About me

I’m an orthopedic surgeon specializing in trauma care, which means I help people who have suffered broken bones and serious injuries to their arms, legs, pelvis, shoulders and other parts of the body. I guide them through diagnosis, treatment and recovery with compassion and expertise.

My work also focuses on preventing and treating musculoskeletal infections that can happen after trauma. I work with a team of OHSU providers to tailor your treatment plan to your individual needs and lifestyle.

I enjoy helping patients get back to their lives after a significant injury and believe strongly in clear communication. I take time to explain your diagnosis and treatment options in ways that are easy to understand so you can be confident in the decisions we make together.

Outside of patient care, I’m actively involved in research aimed at improving fracture healing and trauma outcomes.

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.

  1. Very personable, yet professional. Easy-going but not lackadaisical .

  2. Dr. Working was the first surgeon to operate on my injured leg. In the hospital he was kind, clear and straightforward about the plan and expectations for my recovery. It was a joy to be able to see him again for a follow up visit. He remembered specifics about the conversation we had before my surgery, he answered all of my questions, and continued to check what other questions or concerns I had before leaving the room. Not once did I feel rushed. Dr. Working has made a very significant injury feel less scary every step of the way. I am so grateful to have him on my care team.
