About me

I was born and mostly raised in Southern California. I come from a military family so we moved often growing up. I went into medicine to help care for people and also to fill the gap I saw in the number of Latino providers available (even in California). I studied at the University of California, San Francisco and completed my training at a residency at UCLA. I moved to Colorado in 2005 after completing my family medical residency program. I planned to stay only for 5 years but the mountains and people of Colorado have kept me and my family here longer. I am currently splitting my time at the Kaiser Permanente Englewood Medical Offices between patient care and serving as the medical office chief. I was honored to be recognized as a 5280 Magazine Top Doctor in 2020.

About my practice

I chose Family Medicine as a specialty because I think there is a lot to be gained by getting to know patients within the context of their family units and their local communities. I also enjoy the experience and challenges of seeing all age groups. Within Family Medicine, I have a particular passion for caring for adolescents and the LGBT community. As a physician and proud father, I love the challenges and honesty that adolescents provide. My practice at Englewood includes a fairly large pediatric population but I also have patients well into their 90s. Overall, I try not to dictate to my patients but to provide information to them so that they can make the decisions that work best within their personal lives and circumstances. I try to stay up-to-date with current medical practices, practice financially responsible medicine, and provide evidence-based care. My overall goals are to better know my patients and to help them understand their options, set goals, navigate the health care system and move toward better physical and mental health.

How I thrive

I thrive personally through time spent with my partner and son. I also love to exercise, which I try to do most days before work. I escape through reading and movies, particularly through teen fiction and fantasy/sci-fi books and movies.

Pueblo DSNP members must choose a Primary Care Physician who is located within a KP Medical Office Building. Please refer to the Medicare print directory for Southern Colorado for a full list of these providers.

To find:

  • Kaiser Permanente medical office providers’ hours, search our facility directory
  • Affiliated providers’ office hours or languages spoken by front office staff, call their office directly
  • Providers in your plan or accepting new patients, call 303-338-4545 or 1-800-218-1059 (TTY 711), Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Information in this online directory is updated periodically and applies to commercial plans underwritten by Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Colorado. The availability of physicians, hospitals, providers, and services may change. To verify whether a provider accepts Kaiser Permanente plans, contact the provider directly. Current provider information is available at kp.org/locations. This information is updated within 72 business hours of receipt from providers. Kaiser Permanente Colorado attempts to ensure the online directory contains up-to-date information. The printed directory is current as of the date of publication.

To report any inaccuracies in the directory or to file a complaint regarding your experience with a provider, contact Member Services at 1-800-632-9700 (TTY 711), Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., or visit kp.org/memberservices.

Medicare Members: To request a hard copy of Kaiser Permanente’s provider directory, please call our Member Services department at 1-800-476-2167, seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Kaiser Permanente will mail a hard copy of the provider directory to you within three (3) business days of your request. Kaiser Permanente may ask whether your request for a hard copy is a one-time request or if you are requesting to receive the provider directory in hard copy permanently.

If you request it, your request for hard copies of the provider directory remains until you leave Kaiser Permanente or request that hard copies be discontinued.

Kaiser Permanente considers the following factors as it builds and maintains provider networks:

  • Size and demographics of the population to be served
  • The inventory of provider and facility types required to serve the population
  • Practitioner-to-member ratios and geographic access standards
  • Application of credentialing criteria encompassing but not limited to educational training, licensing, professional experience, board certification, and professional references

You may select a primary care provider (PCP) from family medicine, pediatrics, or internal medicine. When possible, we encourage you to choose a PCP whose office is in a Kaiser Permanente Medical Office Building. You may have a higher copayment and/or coinsurance with certain PCP providers. Please refer to your “Schedule of Benefits (Who Pays What)” for additional details. Use the Provider Affiliation dropdown to sort to Kaiser Permanente providers.

An authorization or referral may be required to access some providers in this directory. If you have questions, contact Member Services.
