About me

Marci Messerle-Forbes has a special interest in research, contraception and family planning, and colposcopy procedures. Her research focuses on contraception and family planning, menopause, pelvic pain and libido. Marci chose her specialty because of interactions she had with women who were unaware of their own healthcare choices and/or their contraception options. She especially enjoys getting to know patients and helping them learn about their health and bodies.

Originally from Coos Bay, Oregon, Marci completed several advanced degrees in Ohio before returning to Oregon. She came to OHSU in 2004. In her leisure time, she enjoys spending time with her friends and family, hiking, doing crafts and reading.

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.
