About Me

I moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1980 and have worked at Kaiser Permanente since 1982.

About my practice

I am an Infectious Disease physician in the department of Infectious Diseases. I collaborate with my five Infectious Disease physician partners in providing consultations for our adult Kaiser Permanente members who are hospitalized or are outpatients and have an infectious disease for which the treating clinician requests our expertise in diagnosis or treatment. We also provide guidance and oversight for our clinicians to assure safe and appropriate usage of antibiotics for all of our Kaiser Permanente members. I collaborate with the Kaiser Permanente Infection Preventionists in developing and implementing policies and safe practices that prevent our members from acquiring healthcare-associated infections at our facilities.

How I thrive

I enjoy reading, photography, and hiking.
