About me
I was born in Illinois and raised on a farm. After attending Northwestern High School in Illinois, I spent seven eye-opening years traveling around the world with the U.S. Navy. I went to Western Illinois University for my Bachelor of Science and then to the University of Illinois for my medical training. I did my ob-gyn residency at the University of Illinois/St. Francis Medical Center, where I was chief resident, and I’m now certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
I met my wife when I was in college. We married on Maui and immediately began planning for a permanent move to this wonderful place. Along with my calling as a physician, my family is a driving force in my life. I hope to leave the world a better place for my children and grandchildren.
About my practice
There’s nothing more rewarding to me than the feeling I get when I’m helping to cure someone's disease or improve someone's quality of life, either medically or surgically. The diversity of cases that arise in an obstetrics and gynecology practice provide interesting and challenging situations on a daily basis. My special interests include pregnancy care, and pelvic floor disorders, and hysterectomy.
To stay current in my field and in medicine generally, I read various medical journals, access online resources for physicians, attend professional conferences locally and on the mainland, participate in continuing education programs, and consult with my colleagues both within and outside of my specialty. My membership in the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists also exposes me to the latest developments and recommendations.
At the Hawaii Permanente Medical Group I found a spirit of collegiality and a team approach to caring for patients. It's exciting to be part of such a great group of medical providers with a long history of delivering excellent care.
As I see it, one of my primary purposes as an ob-gyn doctor is to provide my patients with the best treatment options appropriate to their situations and to honor their choices.
I believe that being respectful, courteous, and compassionate is key to building relationships. I try to always treat my patients and their family members as I would want my own family to be treated. My goal is for my patients and their families to walk out the door feeling heard, cared for, and satisfied with their visits.
How I thrive
Long walks, laughing, beach activities, and getting into the ocean whenever possible serve as a fountain of youth for me. Football also helps keep me fit. Mostly, just spending time with my wife and two wonderful children, regardless of what we're doing, is where my heart is.

Accommodations for Individuals with Disabilities
Kaiser Permanente is committed to providing accessible facilities, services, and programs for all members, visitors and individuals with disabilities. In compliance with federal and state laws that prohibit discrimination based on disability, Kaiser Permanente provides:
- accessible exam rooms and medical equipment;
- free auxiliary aids and services to ensure effective communication with individuals with hearing, vision, cognitive, and/or communication-related disabilities, including qualified sign language interpreter services and informational materials in alternative formats (large print, audio tape/CDs, accessible PDFs or Microsoft Word documents, electronic texts/disks/CD-ROMS, and Braille); and
- access to service animals, except where the animal poses a significant health or safety risk(s) to others.
For more information about access to a specific facility or provider, or if you believe that Kaiser Permanente has failed to provide appropriate access or services or otherwise discriminated on the basis of a disability, please contact Member Services toll-free 1-800-966-5955 or TTY 711, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. or Saturday, 8 a.m. – noon. You may also contact or file a grievance with the Kaiser Permanente Civil Rights Coordinator in person, by mail, fax or email at: 711 Kapiolani Blvd, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813, civil-rights-coordinator@kp.org, or toll-free 1-800-966-5955, TTY 711.
The availability and use of the Kaiser Permanente grievance procedure does not prevent a person from filing a complaint of discrimination on the basis of disability with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights or the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission.
Kaiser Permanente uses the same quality, member experience, or cost-related measures to select practitioners and facilities in Marketplace Silver-tier plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business and 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. 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.
A narrow network is defined as a tailored, tiered or high-performance network that has 80 percent or less overlap with a health plan’s broadest network offered to a member in any type of plan offered by that health plan. Kaiser Permanente does not have a narrow network with respect to its Marketplace plans. Members enrolled in Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) Marketplace plans have access to the same provider networks as members enrolled in all other KFHP plans.
