About me
Shirin Zargar is a speech therapist who specializes in adolescent brain injury, as well as infant-toddler feeding and swallowing. You can find her in outpatient, inpatient or in the radiology room performing modified barium swallow studies. Her WA, CA, and OR license allow her to see patients virtually if they are in rural areas and not able to get necessary support or resources. Outside of Doernbecher's she is adjunct faculty at Portland State University, where she teaches Adult Language Disorders and the impact of cognitive deficits in language.
When she is not working you can find her in the mountains, camping, working on her traveling blog or just hanging in her backyard with her dog. She is also highly involved in the Iranian community of Portland and loves bringing the middle eastern community together.
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.
