Our Team
Dr. Andrea Stroud (left) and nurse Stefanie Collier are two members of our Bariatric Services team. Our providers share their expertise for each patient.
The providers on OHSU’s Bariatric Services team are committed to your success. They will work together and with your primary care doctor to provide the support and guidance you need.

- Bariatric surgeons with advanced skill in minimally invasive techniques.
- Patient navigators to guide every step of treatment, freeing you to focus on your health.
- Expert nurses to monitor your progress and answer your questions.
- Registered dietitians to help you prepare for surgery and stay on track afterward.
- Psychologists to tend to your mental preparation and well-being.
- Physical therapists to help you with exercising and other needs.
