About me

I am the Director of Orthopaedic Trauma at OHSU and specialize in complex fracture care. 

I provide care for patients with: 

  • Complex periarticular fractures
  • Pelvis and acetabular injuries
  • Nonunions
  • Musculoskeletal infections 

I hold a joint appointment in the Department of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation and the Department of Biomedical Engineering.

As a surgeon scientist, I work closely with scientist partners here at OHSU, through the University of Oregon, and UCSF to understand mechanisms of fracture healing, the long-term consequences of anemia on patients receiving fracture care and muscle injury in orthopaedic trauma. I also lead national research on the effects of sleep patterns in Orthopaedic Trauma surgeons. 

I serve as the current chair of the Basic Science Committee within the OTA and serve on the AO Research Committee. I am an active member in the Orthopaedic Trauma Association, in AO Trauma, and the Orthopaedic Research Society.

My wife and I are proud to be from the Pacific Northwest and to have returned after many years traveling for training to raise our two rambunctious kids in Oregon.

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. Just super friendly helpful and always checking on me even though there were a lot of people. Really appreciate it

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

  3. 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.

  14. I can't say enough! Above and beyond care, truly! I am a promoter of this team and it starts with Dr. Working. I am thoroughly impressed with his skill and demeanor. When I say above and beyond, I mean that. Never have I felt so heard and had actions that backed that up from a provider, he is a rare gem. Not just one visit but every visit. His staff speaks positively of him and he walks the walk. Thank you Dr. Working, may you feel the value of your work that you give and show to others. He turned a very traumatic experience into something special. I will never forget his service and extra care and time.

  15. I love Dr. Working and all the staff in his office are friendly and welcoming.
