About me

I believe that patient education and empowerment is at the core of the medical system. I strive to help patients achieve their health goals and address these goals in whatever way patients are able. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings and I am particularly interested in patient advocacy and education. Outside of work, I enjoy speding time with my wife and daughter, playing sports, backpacking and being outdoors. I am also a runner and love to go for long adventures outside.

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.
