About me

I grew up in Albany, New York. I completed college, medical school, and residency in the northeastern United Status before deciding it was time to move south for my epilepsy fellowship. I practiced in Charlotte, North Carolina for over 11 years. While we enjoyed living there, we always considered moving to Colorado, and were excited to find a wonderful position here. For me, being a physician involves learning about people as a whole, and not just related to their immediate medical needs. Using this information to help people get better is what makes our job so unique and rewarding.

About my practice

I chose neurology because I felt like neurologists were the ultimate diagnosticians, using the physical exam and testing to make sometimes difficult diagnoses. I specifically decided to do epilepsy because I felt that making those diagnoses could potentially lead to a resolution of symptoms. We blend careful history taking as well as the latest technology to make meaningful improvements in people’s lives. With the advent of medications, as well as surgical options, we can get closer to the goal of seizure freedom. I am particularly interested in epilepsy surgery evaluations for this reason and enjoy guiding people through this process. It is very important for me to have patients understand their diagnosis and have us be partners in their care.

How I thrive

I enjoy spending time with my wife and 2 dogs. We love to travel, both nationally and internationally. We also love food and wine and trying new places for these. It has always been important for me to collaborate with other physicians and patients to improve the lives of people with epilepsy in the community.

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.
