Where I practice
About me
I grew up in Eastern Canada. I spent many formative years in Toronto and the Cleveland area. I'm happily married to my best friend, and we have 2 adventurous, young daughters who inspire me every day. We're excited to be in the Pacific Northwest. Medicine gives me the opportunity to have a daily impact on people's lives. Caring for people at both their highs and lows in life constantly grounds me and teaches me so much about my own life. I'm a past president of the Ohio/Kentucky chapter of the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). Within that organization, I am on several committees and subcommittees. I currently chair both the ASMBS State and Local Chapters Committee and the Scientific Papers Subcommittee. I'm passionate about research on metabolic disease, and I have over 75 publications and national presentations within the field. I chose to join Kaiser Permanente because of their ethical, inclusive health care model that aligns with my own beliefs about the delivery of care.
About my practice
As a metabolic and bariatric surgeon, I treat patients who suffer from obesity and related comorbid conditions, such as type 2 diabetes. I specialize in helping patients with acute surgical emergencies as well as more chronic issues related to previous surgeries. I treat every patient and family member as though they were members of my own family. I take as much time as is needed to ensure patients understand their situation and treatment options. I want to make sure my patients can make informed decisions for themselves. I'm here to serve my community, and I want all patients to feel included, comfortable, heard, and respected. Every day presents new challenges and opportunities, and that's deeply rewarding.
How I thrive
Enjoying the outdoors with my family keeps me healthy. We love hiking, skiing, and snowboarding, and we're happiest when we're in the mountains. Traveling and relaxing at the beach also keeps me motivated and inspired. I enjoy teaching my kids about different musical instruments and seeing the joy that comes from playing them.

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.
