About me

Welcome to my Web page. I'm happy to have this chance to introduce myself to you and tell you a little about my practice. I work with wonderful colleagues and members at Kaiser Permanente, and I look forward to working with you, too.

Biography

I grew up in the Midwest (Illinois and Michigan) but studied at Stanford University in California as well as New York Medical College. I love living in big cities and chose Los Angeles for the start of my career. I spent almost 2 years in private practice in the San Gabriel Valley before joining Kaiser Permanente nearly 18 years ago. I chose to work with Kaiser Permanente because of its team approach to health care. The camaraderie, the talent of the physicians, and the variety of the members we treat have made joining Kaiser Permanente one of the best decisions of my life.

About my practice

My practice is centered on orthopedic sports medicine, which mainly consists of knee and shoulder injuries. I have covered numerous sports teams during my training, including the University of Arizona teams, the Chicago White Sox, and various other college and high school teams. However, I treat a whole range of people, from children to seniors. I specialize in arthroscopic (minimally invasive) surgery, with the goal of returning members to their optimal level of functioning as efficiently as possible. More recently, my practice ratio has approached 80 percent shoulder/20 percent knee. I am also in my 10th year as chief of the service, and I find great satisfaction in finding ways to achieve better access and care to our Kaiser Permanente members.

How I thrive

I stay well by spending time with my amazing blended family. My wife and I attend live music events as much as possible, including travelling far and wide to watch our favorite bands. I am proud to be a parent to 3 children. I also spend some of my free time as a volunteer alumni interviewer for college admissions, as well as volunteer for physician coverage of the Special Olympics (one of the highlights of my career was covering the World Special Olympics for 7 days in 2015). My time as an avid volleyball player has ended, but I still enjoy golfing whenever I can.
