About me

I’m a surgical oncologist who specializes in the care of patients with abdominal cancers:

I have a particular focus on cancers that have spread (metastatic). I have expertise in using HIPEC surgery to treat several types of cancer.

I partner with you to manage your cancer. I work as part of a team of specialists to support all aspects of your care, paying attention to your goals. It is a unique privilege to work with cancer patients every day. This is why I chose to become a cancer surgeon and what drives me to provide top-quality care.

My research focuses on using biomarkers (signs of possible cancer) to improve our understanding of who will benefit most from which treatments. I am interested in designing more inclusive clinical trials to make sure all patients have better access to advanced technology and treatments.

I grew up in Minnesota and have lived all over the country. I moved to Portland with my partner, also an OHSU doctor. Together we enjoy hiking throughout the Pacific Northwest. I am an avid sports fan and expert yogi, and I love to bake and travel.

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.
