Curry Health Network’s CEO, Ginny Razo, is pleased that there is final resolution to the Oregon Medical Board matter related to the Network’s Cardiologist, Dr. Satyendra (Seth) Giri, but is disappointed that an important fact was omitted in a recent local newspaper article that made it appear that Dr. Giri is unable to practice medicine.
“That is not accurate. Dr. Giri’s medical license is in good standing,” she said, referring to a finding by the Oregon Medical Board on April 5.
Razo went on to explain that Dr. Giri, who came to the Network in 2016 from Bay Area, was fully transparent with her, the Medical Executive Committee and the Medical Staff about circumstances from years past. “During the hiring process, Dr. Giri offered a full explanation to our satisfaction.”
“The Medical Staff of Curry Health Network (CHN) has the responsibility to vet health care providers prior to granting medical privileges. Dr. Giri underwent a rigorous credentialing process, and the Medical Staff was satisfied with the outcome,” she explained.
The types of procedures for which Dr. Giri is prohibited from performing are not procedures performed at CHN. “He did not request, nor was he granted privileges, for interventional cardiology procedures,” said Razo. Interventional cardiology procedures include cardiac catheterization, angioplasty and heart valve repair, and CHN does not provide those services.
“CHN continually monitors the quality of services and medical care provided, and according to patient satisfaction surveys for Dr. Giri, his patients are highly satisfied with the care he provides. We are pleased that there is a final resolution to this issue and remain steadfast in our belief in Dr. Giri and his medical practice of non-interventional cardiology at Curry Health Network,” she summarized.
“We hope Dr. Giri will be with CHN for many years to come, providing safe, quality services for the benefit of his patients. He is a valued member of our Medical Staff, and a great benefit to our community,” Razo added.
