About me
I was born in Ohio, and spent most of my childhood in eastern Canada. I went to medical school in Southern California and now call the Pacific Northwest home. I have been happily married to my wife for 31 years and have two adult children. I have always wanted to be a doctor. To be able to help people and pursue an intricate science at the same time is very challenging and fulfilling. I enjoy making difficult diagnoses - it's like solving a mystery. With my past experience as a school teacher, I find it easy and fun to relate to students. My greatest accomplishment is raising two great kids to adulthood and still having their respect and love.
About my practice
Establishing mutual respect and trust is central to my philosophy of care. I try to practice the golden rule to the best of my ability, and involve each patient in making decisions about their health care. Getting to know my patients as individuals is one aspect of medicine I particularly enjoy. I have a broad range of interests and as a family physician, care for patients of all ages. I chose this organization because it is a stable, functional organization that offers high-quality patient care as well as employee support.
How I thrive
Life is all about keeping in balance. I love taking family vacations, and my wife and I love Maui. It's almost heaven. I am a badminton fanatic and enjoy vigorous exercise, visiting friends, meditating, hiking in the mountains, reading about 16th and 17th century history and reading God's word.

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.
