About me
I grew up in Minneapolis, Minn. I have had an interest in science from early childhood. I decided at a young age that medical school was the most appropriate way to focus that interest in science, as it applies directly to people. I have also always had an interest in preventive medicine, to stay healthy and try to prevent illness. I decided to come to Atlanta for residency at Emory University for many reasons. These included an interest in the training program at Emory, an interest in working at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a desire to live in the Atlanta area.
About my practice
For the past few years, I have served as chief of the Kaiser Permanente Palliative Care Department. I have also worked in Kaiser Permanente's Hospitalist Department.
Involving our members in the process of making informed, shared decisions empowers them and keeps them invested in their own care. I look at every patient interaction as an opportunity for me to grow and learn as a doctor. This allows me to do my very best for our Kaiser Permanente community.
How I thrive
I believe strongly in a balanced approach to life. I try to eat well, exercise regularly and spend time with family and friends on a regular basis. I enjoy traveling to see other parts of the United States, as well as other countries and cultures.

The information in this online directory is updated periodically. The availability of physicians, hospitals, providers, and services may change. Before receiving care at a facility, select that location in our directory and verify the accepted plan types under "About this facility" to make sure it is available in your plan. If no plan types are listed, the facility is available for all plan types.
Medicare Members: To request a hard copy of Kaiser Permanente’s provider directory, please call our Member Services department at 1-800-232-4404, 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.

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 uses the same quality, member experience, or cost-related measures to select providers and facilities in Marketplace Silver-tier plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business. The measures may include, but are not limited to, HEDIS/CAHPS performance, member/patient complaints, patient safety scores, hospital quality measures, and geographic need. Members enrolled in KFHP Marketplace plans have access to all professional, institutional and ancillary health care providers who participate in KFHP plans' contracted provider network, in accordance with the terms of the members' KFHP plan of coverage. All Kaiser Permanente Medical Group physicians and network physicians are subject to the same quality review processes and certifications.
Kaiser Permanente uses the same geographic distribution consideration to select hospitals in Marketplace plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business.
Information about a provider is provided to us by the provider or the provider's network, or is obtained as part of the credentialing process. Board certification may not reflect contracted services available from providers listed in our directory. If you have questions regarding this or about any of our providers, call us at 1-800-611-1811 (toll free). For the hearing and speech impaired: 1-888-865-5813 or 711 (TTY).
