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

Debbie Duran-Snell specializes in midwifery care and general ob-gyn care. She has many years of experience working with families who choose water birth. Debbie sees birth as a transformative experience and works to empower patients and their families to have the birth experience they desire.

Debbie is also committed to working with women throughout their lives, providing gynecological care that goes beyond just the birthing years. In particular, she enjoys working with women who have experienced bariatric surgery to assist them on their path to wellness and acceptance.

Debbie enjoys spending time with her growing family. She has been with her husband since 1976, and they have four adult children who live in the Portland area. She has three grandchildren and two more on the way. Debbie also enjoys hiking, biking and crochet in her spare time.

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.
