About me
Jennifer has been practicing as a board-certified physician assistant since 2002 with the majority of her time spent in the urologic and oncology specialties. She was fortunate enough to be able to combine these two interests in her current position at OHSU specializing in the care of urologic oncology patients including those patients with kidney, bladder, prostate, testicular and penile cancers. She is sensitive to the fact that with a cancer diagnosis can come a great deal of vulnerability, fear and anxiety of the unknown. She firmly believes that all of our patients deserve the most compassionate, comprehensive and up-to-date care possible and is committed to providing that to the very best of her ability. She spends time outside of work connecting to family and friends in any way possible.
