About me
Biography
I grew up in Ohio, spent more than a decade on the East Coast for college, medical school, and residency, and finally decided to move to the West Coast for fellowship and the start of my career. I decided to pursue a career in medicine because I grew up with a passion for science and wanted to be able to directly apply my love of science towards helping others. Before taking care of patients in the Pacific Northwest, I practiced for several years with Kaiser Permanente in Northern California. My family and I decided to relocate to PNW for its natural beauty and many other wonderful things to offer. We are thrilled to call the PNW our home!
About my practice
As a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, I am privileged to have the opportunity to utilize my problem-solving and surgical skills to help each patient achieve their healthcare goals. Whether they are a patient battling breast cancer, a person struggling with gender dysphoria, or any patient walking into my clinic, I am dedicated to helping each patient restore their form, function, and sense of self-identity and self-image to the best of my abilities. I love the vast breadth of challenges and problems that we as plastic and reconstructive surgeons face within our field, and I promise to listen to each patient's individual goals and concerns. Specifically, I have a clinical interest in breast reconstruction, and I have additional fellowship training to perform DIEP-flap breast reconstruction as well as other forms of complex reconstructive microsurgery. Throughout my career, I hope to make a meaningful impact on my patients' lives, both physically and emotionally.
How I thrive
I am excited to be part of an organization that allows me to focus on taking care of my patients, rather than the other non-medical aspects of being a modern-day 21st-century physician. Just as I hope my patients thrive under my care, I also hope to thrive as a physician in an organization that supports me and encourages me to fulfill my full potential. Outside of work, I thrive through skiing, exercise, traveling, trying new restaurants, reading books, sports (THE Ohio State Buckeyes!), automobiles, and most importantly, spending time with my family and friends. Life is too short to only focus on work, and with my multitude of interests, I'm sure we will find something non-medical to talk about!
