I have expertise in treatments including:

I’m involved in clinical trials that study new cancer drugs.

Outside the clinic, I take part in research on health services and policy, especially on how cancer drugs are regulated and approved in the United States.

I grew up in Taiwan and northern California before pursuing my medical education in Florida and internal medicine training in Pennsylvania. I love music, art and swing dance and take part in many community events in the Portland area. I enjoy jogging along the Willamette River and exploring the wondrous trails in the Pacific Northwest.

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.
