Dr. Orfaly has advanced specialty training in hand and shoulder surgery and cares for problems of the entire upper extremity (hand, arm, elbow and shoulder). He is committed to educating his patients about all the options available. This includes nonsurgical care coordinated with our physical medicine and rehabilitation team and the doctors and therapists already involved in a patient’s care. Surgery includes a variety of minimally invasive (small incision) options. Dr. Orfaly is also interested in shoulder replacement, including bone sparing and reverse shoulder replacements.

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.
