Where I practice
About me
I grew up in Tustin, California, and attended undergraduate and medical school in Southern California. I moved to Seattle for residency training, and have lived here ever since. I met my lovely wife while I was living in Seattle. We have an amazing son, and are expecting our second child. I was lucky to find a field that is constantly evolving and growing, always challenging, and allows me to directly interact with and help people every day.
About my practice
I aim to listen to all of my patients' concerns and provide calming reassurance in the pre-operative period. I want to help my patients not only address a disease, but also help reduce their suffering and improve quality of life. Practicing medicine is challenging and full of surprises, and there are always opportunities to help others and to grow personally. Joining Kaiser Permanente allows me to practice both of my specialties, anesthesiology and pain medicine, while working work with an amazing group at the forefront of these fields. It is wonderful to be a part of a collaborative team that works together to treat all aspects of a patient's health.
How I thrive
Playing with my son is always a top activity. I love to hike and walk, and am hoping to get back into swimming and running again. My children inspire me to eat a healthy diet, go on regular walks, and always notice and enjoy the natural world around me.

How we choose our network providers and hospitals
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.
