About me

I am a medical oncologist who treats patients with:

I offer chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy. I am involved with clinical trials in lung and head and neck cancers and offer these to patients if appropriate.

I am passionate about providing the best care possible by getting to know patients well, working as part of a team of cancer experts, and taking part in research.

In my free time, I enjoy watching and playing soccer and football, cooking, being outdoors and spending time with my wife and our daughter and cat.

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.
